Big Decisions | The Mikaelson Boys
Hey my lovelies! I know, right, another story in the same week as my other one?? What has the universe come to! I had this idea the other night and I kind of just rolled with the punches. I'm not sure how good it will be, I haven't written in a while and I had an idea of where I wanted this to go and, as usual, it wrote itself and ended up somewhere else. I'm not sure how much I like it but regardless here it is. I tried to make it as fluffy as I could because that's what I need right now lol. Anyway's I hope you like it! Sorry in advance for how long it is!! All my love until next time <3
Description: Y/n is from an influential family like, but not as powerful, as the Mikaelson's and her father is running for the governor of Virginia. In order to increase voting in favour of her father both families decide to merge. In order to do so Y/n agrees to marry one of the Mikaelson boys. The only problem is that she loves all three of them and can't possibly choose between them.
Pairing: The Mikaelson Boys x Fem!Reader
Warnings: None, seriously, don't be afraid of having all three at once, that doesn't need a warning
Word count: 5032
Tags: Fluff (or at least attempted fluff)
(Pics aren't mine but the moodboard is :) )
Tumblr media
Your footsteps echo softly down the hallway of the Mikaelson’s mansion. Your heels click the beat of a song you haven’t yet learned the words to into the hardwood. It’s a miracle you can even hear it over the rumble of the party below. A thousand voices reach your ears in a crescendo of “good evening” and “my don’t you look lovely” but it stands as little more than white noise in your mind. Your heartbeat rages with it all, mingling with the greetings of strangers and the song your feet are creating at the same time.
The only thing you can truly think about is last night in the garden. It had been Kol’s idea, actually, to have one last night together. It was a beautiful notion, too, if not one that left four souls aching as though they were only one soul being forced into four different fragmented pieces.
There you sat, four fragmented pieces of one soul, tangled so elegantly that anyone looking in would have to squint to see the separate beings. Your back moulded so perfectly into Elijah’s front that it was as if you were made to never be apart in the first place. Though Klaus’ head fit so perfectly in your lap that it would be madness to think anything but the same. However, both such things ignore the delicate trace of Kol’s lips against your neck and mouth and fingertips in such a way that the night sky hadn’t shone half as bright as the stars he left you seeing. How could you even begin to make a decision.
None of you feel quite right about the arrangement. Your families have been close for a few years now, you having met the Mikaelsons at a founders party in your first year of college. Both of your households are founding families with a lot of influence in many parts of the south-eastern United States. While the Mikaelson’s are renowned, your own family, the Lancaster’s, are less well known. With your father running for governor of Virginia it was decided, quite suddenly, that your two families are to combine in order to gain the needed momentum to win at the polls. You, the only daughter to Mary-Anne and Johnathan Lancaster, are to marry any Mikaelson son of your choosing.
To any other woman in Virginia that offer would be a dream come true. The Mikaelson’s are akin to royalty in the United States. However, every other woman in Virginia hasn’t spent the last two years completely consumed by all three brothers. There are only a handful of moments that you can recall that don’t include even one Mikaelson. Every night you fall asleep wrapped around one of your boys. Each of their scents are permanently ingrained in your memory. How can you choose when no matter who you pick the other two will still be there.
You pace back and forth at the top of the winding staircase, silently dreading the descent. You gather the pilling fabric of your gown into your hands and let the silk cool your fiery skin for a few moments longer. You try to hold on to a few pieces of comfort with it. The way Kol had smelled of honey this morning and the feel of Elijah’s arms around you and the little marks Klaus left that are still fading beneath your bodice. You breathe in each of them before you take the first step.
You don’t want to go down the stairs but the first step only brings you to the second that much faster. You take them one at a time, letting your feet even out before every push forward. At this moment you wish that the stairs would never end. You would rather wind for years as your dress turned to dust around you than face the unrelenting truth that waits at the bottom. You would rather turn to dust than choose.
You come too quickly to the bend in the stairs that will reveal you to the party. The murmurs that were previously dulled are now at their peak, crashing over you with a harsh fury of cheerful nothings. You wish you could immerse yourself in the chatter like any other party however tonight isn’t just another party. It’s the party and families from across the country have gathered in the halls below to hear you make your decision.
With a quick breath in, you bring yourself into the glittering light cast by the chandelier hanging above the sweeping foyer. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust from the dark hallway. When they focus once more the air is sucked from your lungs in a startled gasp that turns every eye in the vicinity towards you. As if a switch has been flicked, every sound in the room dies out until all that is left is the slightest tinkling of the glass above your head and muffled sounds of awe.
You will give them that, the dress Rebekah Mikaelson had picked out for you is stunning. A rose coloured, silk gown that would make any Victorian princess green with envy. It’s strapless in the sense that it has silk that hangs off your shoulders, leaving your skin exposed and dusted with gold. Your hair has been curled and pinned up, allowing for some tendrils to frame your face. Bekah dusted the same gold she used on your shoulders on your eyes, bringing a finishing touch to your look. She truly does work miracles.
Your hand stalls on the railing for a moment, your eyes searching the sea of faces below you. It’s surreal to have all the attention on you. You’re used to being around important people, you yourself are one to most people, but you’ve never felt like you fit in with them. You’re just an ordinary girl after all. An ordinary girl who just happens to have the hearts of three Mikaelson’s in her palm. Now, if you could only spot them amongst the crowd.
As if they can hear their names flowing through your mind, they appear at the base of the steps. You shouldn’t be surprised at how dashing they all look but you’re still left open-mouthed at the sight of them. They're each clad head to toe in all black, the perfect contrast to your dress. The dark to your light and vice versa. They never disappoint.
Your feet begin moving of their own accord to meet them at the bottom of the staircase, the clicking of your heels ricocheting like bullets through the still silent foyer. You can feel their stares like flames on every inch of your exposed skin. The crowd is holding their breath in anticipation of the interaction to come, waiting ready for the moment you make your decision. It feels positively medieval, as if as soon as you choose you will be forced to rip off your clothes and mate for the court to see and deem your bond official. It’s too bad if that’s what they're expecting. They would be in for quite a shock if they saw the distinct markings of not one but three Mikaelson’s already on your skin.
Three mouthwatering scents swirl around you, encouraging you to move faster. Before you clear the last fifteen or so steps, however, the unthinkable happens. You trip. Your heel catches the loose fabric of your dress and rips your feet out from under you, a riptide of events that should have been foreseen. Your eyes slam shut the minute you go into freefall, not wanting to see the mess your body will create when you hit the marble. The fall feels like hours rather than seconds, waiting for an impact that will shatter life as you know it but the end never comes.
“Baby,” it takes you a moment to register the arms around your waist and the pine tree scent enveloping you, “I’ve got you. You’re safe.”
Another pair of hands grip on to your arm, sending waves of familiar warmth and nutmeg rushing through your chest, “my clumsy darling, what was our dear sister thinking when she put you in those heels.”
“She clearly wasn’t or else she would have remembered that she tripped three times just this morning,” you’re pulled easily into a new pair of strong arms, “isn’t that right, love?”
You can’t help but let the smile fall on your lips, your eyes tugging open to meet the ocean ones already looking at you, “you know me too well, Klaus.”
The smile is already on his lips, though it doesn’t quite reach his eyes, “of course love, that’s my job.”
He leans down to place a quick kiss on your forehead before steadying you. You turn to face the remaining brothers, both of whom look ready to pull you once more into their arms. They’re circled around you, blocking the crowd from seeing you until they have had their moment with you. It warms your heart immensely. Up close they look even more ravishing. When you take your time inspecting them, though, you see the circles under their eyes.
Elijah’s are the most prominent, his skin tinged a plum colour that in no way mars the beauty of his face. If anything it adds an ethereal glow. He’s always been the one to worry the most. He is the oldest after all, most of the stress falls on his shoulders. His deliciously sculpted shoulders. It’s his job to hold his family together, tonight is no exception. You waste no time pulling him towards you and wrapping your arms around his neck, tangling your fingers in his chocolate hair.
“You look like you need a nap, Eli,” you tug softly at the strands between your fingers, “it’ll all be okay.”
You can feel the deep breath he takes, as if the air is going into your lungs instead of his, “I know, baby.”
He squeezes his arms around you a little tighter than usual before releasing you. It takes Kol no time to scoop you into his arms, burying his face in your neck. You grip his back with shaking fingers, admiring the muscles through his jacket as a moment of peace before the storm to come. You don’t want to let him go. You don’t want to leave the little bubble the four of you have created.
“No matter what happens out there tonight, I'm yours darling. Until the sun doesn’t rise in the east, I’m yours,” he places a soft kiss to your throat and tears sting at your eyes but you refuse to let them fall.
He pulls back, a small smile on his lips. You look up to the other two one last time, feeling the crowd grow impatient at your hidden actions. You know that tonight isn't about you but you can’t help but let the seconds tick by freely. This could very well be the last moment the four of you share publicly.
Klaus nods his head carefully, squeezing one of his hands into a fist at his side, “until the sun doesn’t set in the west, I am yours, love.”
You pull your lip between your teeth to bite back the trembling, steeling yourself as you turn in finality to Elijah. His chocolate eyes are already on you. The determination in them lights something hot and not at all unfamiliar in the pit of your stomach. He takes another deep breath, your eyes drawn to the rise and fall of his chest.
“And every moment after I will be yours, baby, that is my promise.”
When the words leave his lips you revel in the fleeting moment of calm that rushes over you.
The strength in your voice startles you a little bit, “I am yours before, during, and after. That is my promise. Let’s do this.”
The boys stand taller when you say the words, completing a promise you made to each other over a year ago. They part, allowing you to walk into the crowd of statues. No one moves, every eye glued to you once more. You can’t help but feel small under their gaze but you don’t back down, choosing instead to smile and stare back.
“Sweetheart, there you are!”
And just like that all the activity in the room restarts, all the chatter and music and tinkling restored like a fire under the floor. Your mother, Mary-Anne, appears from the crowd in a stunning blue gown. It accentuates her delicate features. She was a southern belle in her youth and it still shows, especially in her accent. You could get lost in the honey that is your mother’s voice.
“Hello, mama,” you fall into her embrace easily, breathing in her lilac lotion, “I’m sorry I took so long, Bekah wanted everything to be perfect.”
Your mother giggles, music to your aching soul, “except the shoes I see.”
You pull away with a blush, meeting her cheerful eyes with mild embarrassment, “oh my, you saw that?”
“Darling, all of Virginia saw it,” she takes your arm, leading you towards the ballroom where guests are steadily flowing to designated tables, “you gave those boys quite a startle. Your father too. He dropped his drink.”
She giggles again as she directs you to a table at the front of the room, elegantly decorated with an array of flowers and candles. There are enough seats to allow for both of your families and a few other important people to enjoy a nice meal. Your stomach tumbles in a way that makes you doubt the amount of food you will be enjoying tonight.
Your mother hands you a glass of champagne which you take gratefully, “will he be here soon?”
“I’m sure he will be,” she smiles gently at you, pushing a fallen curl behind your ear, “how are you feeling, darling? You look a little rattled.”
“It’s a lot to take in, mama. I’m alright,” you take a sip of your champagne to punctuate your words, letting the sweet bubbles cool your throat.
She places her hand on your own, pulling your attention back to her, “you’re allowed to not be. You’re doing a lot for this family, you know. Your father and I appreciate you very much. It can’t be easy.”
“The hard part isn’t getting married,” you meet her kind eyes and almost crumble, “It’s almost too easy to spend a lifetime with any one of them. They each mean the world to me. Mama, how am I supposed to choose?”
She shakes her head gently, her own curls bouncing lightly, “you just have to trust yourself, darling.”
The ballroom fills steadily, flowing conversation and music through the open space. You quickly spot the Mikaelson's, Bekah now in tow, as well as your father, who looks locked in a serious conversation with Elijah and Klaus. He’s nodding along to whatever they’re saying, clearly absorbing whatever notion they’re pushing. Kol, on the other hand however, remains silent, gazing around the space before locking eyes with you. Even from across the floor you can see his shoulders loosen slightly. Bekah tries to say something to him but he just brushes her off before moving towards you. You feel a touch guilty but you'll apologize later. Right now you need him.
You pass your glass back to your mother, accepting another knowing smile before all but running towards Kol. He clears the space quicker than you can, meeting you just in front of the table.
“You know, I don’t recall having told you how breathtaking you look yet this evening,” his words pour over you as he takes the final steps towards you, “and that should be a punishable crime. You look absolutely stunning, darling.”
He laces his arms once more around your waist, drawing you into his chest, “we’re all a little flustered tonight, I think I can pardon you just this once. Besides, I haven’t told you how marvellous you look yet either.”
You whisper the words into his chest, closing your eyes for a brief moment. His touch brings you some clarity. You wish you were curled up watching a movie instead of in a ball gown.
He pulls back slightly, lifting your chin to meet his warm eyes, “I meant what I said earlier, no matter who you choose I’m not going anywhere. None of us are.”
“I don’t think I can do it, Kol,” you look towards your father sitting next to your mother, both laughing with another couple, “I can’t hurt any of you.”
“Love,” you're pulled from Kol’s grasp and into a different but no less familiar hold, “we know this isn’t what you want. It’s not what any of us want. You need to trust us. Follow your instincts. Now come on, we’ll miss dinner.”
Klaus leads you to the table and a plate filled with what would normally be your favourite foods. Elijah is already waiting with your chair pulled out, sitting you between your mother and father.
He leans down before you can sit, his lips grazing your ear as he speaks, “just relax, baby. I love you.”
He presses a kiss to your ear before tucking you in and taking his own seat across from you. The ballroom soon fills with the sharp sounds of forks and knives scraping against porcelain and even more happy chatter than before. Your own table becomes a flurry of excited words and talk of the upcoming elections and wedding ideas. You’re bombed with many sneaky attempts to hear your decision early but you brush every one of them off, nervously taking bites of food every few minutes.
“So, honey,” your father turns to you with a grin, lowering his voice and drawing you into your own little bubble, “how’s my star doing?”
You focus on his nose, not wanting to meet his eyes quite yet, “I’m great, dad. This dinner is wonderful.”
He chuckles quietly and you can feel his gaze trying to pull your focus to him, “you would know, right, with all the food you've eaten?’
He isn’t wrong, you’ve barely cleared half your plate, “I’m not hungry is all.”
“You? Not hungry? Now I know something is really wrong here,” his hand grasps yours lightly, “look at me, what’s going on in that noggin of yours?”
You don’t mean to sigh but it happens anyway, “It’s just a lot to digest. It’s a really big decision.”
“You’re right it is, honey,” he squeezes your hand gently, “but I know you’ve got what it takes. You can’t disappoint me. Never have and you never will.” He looks in front of you, “besides, I think those boys know what they're doing. I trust them to help you figure this out.”
Like your mother, he always seems to know what to say. You have a strong family, one that holds each other up in the hardest of choices. You look across the table to meet the eyes of three men already looking at you. They each smile at you in their own way. Elijah’s is with his eyes, the rest of his face remaining stone. Klaus smirks at you, the blue of his eyes sparkling mischievously. Kol tilts his head to the side, a soft grin on his lips.
Soon the music becomes louder and guests start pouring onto the dance floor, swaying to an elegant piece made up of violins and flutes. Your own table clears with the rest, leaving the four of you alone. Elijah, as per usual, is the first one out of his seat.
“Would you do me the immense honour of sharing this dance?”
The formality in his words brings you a bubbling sense of warmth and you, of course, rise to meet his outstretched hand. He leads you to the middle of the floor, twirling you under another chandelier before pulling you tight against his chest. You’re once again wrapped in his forest scent and you lay your head against him, trusting him to keep you from falling. The music swirls around you, drowning out the noise of the others around you. They're no doubt speculating that you’ve made your decision but, in reality, this is just yours and Elijah’s thing: dancing.
He moves you beautifully across the floor, pulling you slightly to where it feels like you’re gliding on ice. The rest of the couples move back, allowing for the two of you to take as much space as you need. You feel like you dance for an eternity, giggling as he spins you endlessly across the polished wood floor. He eventually lifts you, turning you in what you assume is a final twirl, only to pass you into another pair of ocean breeze arms.
Klaus takes over effortlessly, falling into the same pattern that Elijah had created, “sorry to cut in, love, I couldn’t help myself.”
You move the hand that lays on his shoulder and wrap it around the back of his neck, tangling your fingers in his hair and drawing as close to him as you can. He takes his time dancing with you the same as his brother had. By now all the other dancers have stopped and cleared completely off the floor. Each eye is trained on the pair of you like lasers to a target. You will yourself to remain completely focused on Klaus’ movements.
It takes both an eternity and mere seconds for you to land in Kol’s arms, who twirls you one last time, perfectly stopping with the music. When the last violin dies out, a clock chimes through the room. Your shoulders tense on their own, the rest of your body following suit. Ten O’clock. Choosing time.
“Good evening, everyone, and welcome,” your father’s voice pours through speakers placed around the hall but you can barely register the words being said, “I know many of you have travelled great lengths to be here today and for that our families are incredibly grateful. Tonight is a momentous occasion. It marks the engagement of my girl, Y/n, to one of these fine men.”
Your father motions across the room to where you stand, now with all three brothers stood in front of you, “each one of them have expressed their interest in my daughter and now, with all of you to witness such a grand step in her life, she will choose which of them she would like to marry.”
Whatever head that wasn't already turned now faces you, each holding their breath in anticipation. You aren't looking at them though. Instead, you’re facing the three men that you would do anything in the world for. You can almost see your aching heart already in your hands, ready to rip it into three even pieces and hand it to them with little bows.
You look at Klaus first. Your creative spirit who could fill an entire museum with paintings of your face alone. His hands twitch slightly at his sides and he closes them into fists when you notice. He offers you a small smile and you remember the other night when he fell asleep on your lap while watching a movie in the den. He hasn't been sleeping properly with all the arrangements for tonight being settled and you running your hands through his hair had been the final push he needed to collapse. You make sure he’s looking at your lips when you mouth I love you across the room.
You turn quickly to Elijah from there, locking eyes with him immediately. Your warrior who looks especially undone in comparison to his usual put together self. He looks like he has to stop himself from closing the distance between the two of you and that it’s taking most of his remaining energy to do so. That’s Eli for you though, he never can stay away from you for too long. When you mouth I love you to him he stands a little straighter.
You find Kol’s eyes easily from there. Your rebellious, hell-raiser with a glint in his face that you would be able to see from all the way across the room. His hand is in his hair, tugging the strands between his fingers in a way that only he could make look elegant. He’s got a look in his eyes that begs you to do something entirely untraditional. He mouths I love you before you can even open your mouth.
You stand there for an eternity, your feet stuck as though rooted through the floor. Every moment from the past two years rushes through your head. You aren't dying; this isn't a life flashing before your eyes type moment but it may as well be. These three have been your entire life since you were introduced. Not one of them alone could have brought you here. Every moment for two years has been leading to you standing here, with them, at this very second.
It hits you quite suddenly that if you were to remove two of them, the equation that makes up who you are wouldn't be correct anymore. You’ve been juggling with the idea that your soul is four parts rather than two for quite some time now. It wouldn't be right to give three parts to one person, not when each of them have taken the time to so delicately etch their names onto their own separate parts.
You can’t pick just one of them. You’ve known that from the beginning, you just didn’t know what you were going to do about it until now. Your hands tremble now that you know your decision, a chill running up your spine at the thought of sharing it with the crowd. It’s not exactly conventional what you’re about to say.
“I choose Klaus.”
The crowd releases the breath it had been holding for hours. Too bad they're going to be sucking it back in soon. Klaus’ eyes are wide, his mouth open as though he didn't expect to be your choice. Your heart breaks for him and you remind yourself to spend more time with him when this is all over. Your other two boys look devastated, the smiles on their lips looking more like pained grimaces. Your heart squeezes in your chest.
“And I choose Elijah.”
Just like that there is once again no air left in the room. You begin walking towards them, ignoring the buzz of whispers growing in the room. You peer over their shoulders at you parents who don’t look nearly as stunned as they should. In fact your mother is beaming at you. You can feel the pride radiating off her from thirty feet away. You can’t tell if your father mouths I told you so or if you imagine it.
The boys begin moving towards you as well, ready to cover you from the storm raging around you. You can tell there are a thousand things they want to say but you’re not done speaking yet.
You look to the last Mikaelson, willing a smile to take over the frown on his gorgeous face, “and, of course, I choose Kol.”
The crowd roars around you but you’re surrounded with a wall of Mikaelson, blocking you from the prying eyes. You look at each of them, trying to gauge their reactions. You know they said that they're yours but you never discussed marrying all of them. You don’t even know if you can do that. It’s now entirely overwhelming in a completely new way. All three of them stare at you with a mix of shock and awe. Like this is the first time they’re seeing you. You wring your hands together waiting for one of them to say something.
None of them do, though. Instead Elijah closes the space between your bodies and crashes his lips onto yours, pulling your bottom lip between his teeth and biting down hard. His hands grasp your waist with strong fingers, leveling you against his tall frame. It sends shocks through your entire system and you revel in the outright display he’s putting on. He’s the last one you would have expected to lose it in a crowd.
Kol is the next one to close in on you, wrapping his arms around you as well and gently kissing your shoulder. The fire Elijah started in your stomach only increases when Kol bites down. You gasp into Elijah’s mouth but it’s quickly swallowed by the man himself. Kol’s lips feel heavenly against your exposed skin.
Klaus finally steps towards you, tangling his arms in the mess of your bodies and completing your circle. His lips meet the side of your throat in a way only he can, biting down deliciously. When Elijah finally pulls away from you, the rest of them follow. You know your skin is most definitely bruised and your lips swollen. Your curls have most definitely fallen from their pins. You would be worried but each of them still hold you, caged around your body for no one but themselves to see.
The rush of the evening hits you all at once, a strong fatigue laying across your bones. You let your eyes close as you lean further into Elijah. Sensing the finality of your movements, he scoops you up, careful to keep your dress in it’s beautiful condition. He starts walking out of the room, ignoring the protests around him. On cue Kol and Klaus join him on either side.
“Eli, we can’t leave, they’re expecting us,” you can’t hide the yawn in your voice.
��We can, and we are leaving, baby,” he tightens his arms around you, “you need to sleep.”
You shake your head unconvincingly, “I’m fine, Eli.”
The other Mikaelson brothers just laugh.
The smile in Kol’s voice is audible, “yes you are, darling, but humor us won’t you?”
“They’ll be mad at me,” your voice trails off at the end, blackness creeping in around the edges of your mind despite your protests.
“You’ve done more than enough, love, we can take it from here.”
Klaus’ voice is the last you hear, not even making it back up the stairs before you drift out of consciousness.

Thank you to everyone who participated!  It’ll be interesting to see if our opinions change after season 7.
Your Comments: (under the cut)
I Hope the next Season Will be even much better than the last one. And I really want the show to continue as long as possible.
would like to see Frank back and Faith and Carson together.
I have to be honest - I watched the show originally mainly for the on screen chemistry and love story of the Thorntons. I enjoyed the first season the most - as a side note - Lori (aka) Abigail hogged way too much of the screen time as seasons progressed - WAY too much - very annoying. Need to bring back Frank or introduce a new pastor for the show and Carson / Faith have O chemistry ( might as well be siblings) !! I think they should have developed Carson and Elizabeth possibly - I could have maybe grown to route for them. Thanks for this platform!!
I love that you do this after each season. So fun! Wish I could have picked two characters to come back. I do wish Frank would come back. I think that he is important to the town and he would be great help with Jack (like this more than Bill being there) I don’t want an Elizabeth love triangle. Faith and Carson have lost their spark to me. They drag things out too long and I lose interest. Fiona and Julie would be fun to watch. I do want to learn more about Lucas’ past.
Thank goodness Abigail and Jack are gone, but the show's been going down in quality... :(
Thank you for putting these surveys together. It's always fun to see what kinds of results you end up with after polling people who visit Tumblr. These were great questions! Some were genuinely hard to answer (for different reasons, which makes me a bit nervous about S7), but I think something we should consider when we think about S7 is that the writers/cast/et cetera usually don't put everything out on the table before the episodes start airing. Here's to hoping we get some surprise plots along the way that spark an interest from fans who aren't particularly looking forward to any of the teased plotlines coming up. Cheers!
I hope Frank does come back, although I'm not at all religious, the program was all about the community's faith and it would be nice to see that return. But not too heavily
Not a fan of Jesse's undying distrust of Lucas. Hopefully that's over.
I love the "side-stories" more than the main plots 😂 Lee and Rosemary are basically everything I need. But I'm hoping to see more of Nathan, he seemed like a different character in When Hope Calls. Funny and witty and there's none of that in WCTH, probably because they are too busy having him in love with Elisabeth. 🤔
The show should focus on the characters they have already - stop bringing in new folks and then discarding them quickly!
love your blog and all the hard work you do! i just returned to tumblr after a break and i'll support ya <3
Just hope the show keeps going!
To be quite honest i believe that they should in the end keep Elizabeth single or something, its not because i cant see her without Jack its just that the two love interests arent the best. I dont like Nathan because he is a bit uptight and boring the only thing he has going for him is Allie (who is my favourite character!) and there is just something off with Lucas, otherwise i would chose him..... ultimately she could go with someone else....
Thanks for all that you do here an on your other site! I'm more of a lurker, but I want you to know I appreciate you!

Lap Dance (Lee Minho)
Tumblr media
Minho Stripper! Au
Words: 1628
People: Minho x (fem) reader
WARNING: kinda smutty? Like no sex or foreplay or anything, just a lot of touching and grinding.
A/N: Hello and welcome to my tumblr! My name is venus and this is my first pic I’ll be posting on here. I already have stuff lined up to post, however, I am also open to requests as well, I really encourage them! So yeah that’s all from me, I hope you enjoy! 
Let me know if I should do a part two for this!
It was a typical Saturday night. You waiting backstage, doing your makeup, waiting for your set. Even though your job was out of the ordinary, and some people in your life were not supportive of it, nothing could stop you when you were up on that stage. Twirling, spinning, grinding, you name it, on that pole. Being a stripper was your passion. Fuck what other people thought.
You were the last performer of the night. Of course, you had to do private sessions with old, sleazy men and women, however, you complained nevertheless.
“Y/n, you’re up,’ the manager called. You nodded, completing the last finishing touches on yourself, before looking in the mirror one more time, getting up, and proceeding to the curtain backstage, waiting to be called for your time to shine.
“ANDDD NOW, THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! SHE’S THE BRILLIANT, SEXY, GORGEOUS, MESMERISING WOMAN ON THE NIGHT! Y/N STRIPPER NAME!”
Loud roars, cheers and whistles came about in the room once your ‘name’ was called. You began, slow struts down the runway, a combination of $1, $5 and $10 bills being thrown at you. Ignoring them, you bent down, leaving your whole backside exposed to the right side of the room.
“OOO DAMN BABY, YOU HAVE TO SIT ON MY FACE LATER!” some crust man yelled out, however, like usual, your disregarded them. Little did they know, this was your strategy to scan the room, check who was here. On the very rare occasion, there was a couple of hot guys that walked in here and there, but you were so surprised to see probably one of the most beautiful men that had ever stepped foot into here. He was leaning against the bar, cooly sipping his alcoholic beverage, when you made eye contact. His eyes were so dark, they almost took you off guard for a second, forgetting your surroundings and your performance. He quickly whispered something to his friend, pouting to you as he spoke.
‘Let’s have some real fun,’ you thought to yourself. You smirked at him, before standing back up, body rolling and flipping your long hair. You proceeded to the pole, refusing to break eye contact with this mysterious, but extremely sexy man. You sent him a week, before doing a 360 spin on the pole, legs wide open and in the air. Usually, a lot of jaw would drop to floor, amazed by your capabilities, and they did, but it wasn’t the one jaw you wanted. Instead, the man nodded, lefties his glass up to you and had a drink, looking only slightly impressed by your skill.
Determined to wow this man over, you brought out your most top notch and advanced skills you could do. Flips, tumbles, even stepping away from the poll and moving and just dancing freely. Thrusting your pelvis hard, flipping your hair over and over again, doing set choreography. The money bills, cheers and overall support was consistent, everybody was really enjoying your performance, except for him. He just had that sly smirk on his face for the whole time. It was about to drive you insane.
Losing track of time trying to win this hard to impress man, the music stopped, and your age was over. You smiled, bowed down in appreciation, before sending one more wink his way. Strutting of the stage, nothing but frustration filled you when you sat down. Was it him? Was it you? was the performance sloppy? You simply could not put your finger on it.
“Damn Y/n, that was literally one of your best performances. I’ve never seen so much money thrown on the stage for a solo performer. Not in the mood to talk, you smiled, gave a quick thank you, and checked your phone, waiting for the manager to let you know if you were asked for any private sessions tonight.
“Y/n, surprisingly after that performance, you only have one man that wants a private session tonight, then you are free to go home. Be ready in 10 mins.” You nod at him as he walks back outside. A sigh fo frustration, you text your boyfriend, telling him that you will be home a bit later than usual. You give your a hair a quick brush, touch up your makeup and move to the private room, waiting for your usual sleaze bag appointment. You walk in, scan the room, your hopes slightly up with the chance of seeing the suave man from earlier. But your hopes are crushed when there is no sight of him. Your manager comes into the roo, tells you what area you will be working in, but you look over to see no one, therefore, leaving you to sit and wait.
“Hey sweet cheeks,” a low, raspy and husky voice fills your ears. You look up, eye slightly widening when you realised who it was. It was him. The mysterious, hard to impress, suave man. He was good looking from a distance, but holy shit was he even more attractive up closed personal. You felt a little uneasy, knowing that never had of your clients had such an effect on you. However, you had to keep your character, not wanting to show the man how much of an effect he really had on you.
“Well, well, well,” you got up, grabbing his tie all the way up to the base, almost choking him lightly, “what’s your name sweetheart?” you ask, swirling your tongue around the front of top teeth.
“The names Minho, Lee Minho, but that doesn’t mean much to you, does it?”
The hint of arrogance in his voice slightly annoyed you, but also intrigued your curiosity about him. Who was he really?
Acting like you did not like his attitude, you swayed his tie, forcing him to roughly sit down on the couch behind both of you.
“Oh we have cocky one do we?” You ask, jumping onto his lap, his legs in-between yours. You begin a light straddle, a little bit of pleasure running through you every time your core slightly brushed over his own. You could feel him shover a little at your touch, a smirk appearing on your face, knowing you had such an immediate effect on him.
“Cocky enough to know that you couldn’t keep your eyes off of me the whole stage.” He looks up at you, bringing his lip between his teeth, lazily placing his hands on your hips to guide you over him. Annoyed that he was onto you, you turn around, your back facing him. Frustrated, you grabbed his inner thighs, grinding at the same speed, but with more force moving down on him. Even though you couldn’t see his face, you knew he was enjoying it, especially from the sibling moans that were leaving his mouth every few seconds.
Arching your back, you kept your pace, snaking an arm around the back of his neck, leaning most of your body weight abasing him. You cock your head to the side, moving towards his ear.
“Did you enjoy it?”
A seductive whisper escapes your mouth. Minho chuckles deeply, a deep huskiness filling your ears.
“So it was for me then?”
He gives your hips a quick squeeze, then moves his hands down to the sides your rear.
“May I?”
There was usually a rule: dancers can touch guests, but guests don’t touch the dancers. However, you wanted nothing more than him to grab your ass, smack it, pull your hair, get his finger inside of you. You had no idea why, but there was something about Minho that drove you wild. You wanted, no, you needed him.
You nod,  making sure the manager doesn’t see. You feel his calloused, deeply textured hands up against your skin. The tips of his rough fingers move up and down you, almost cooling down from the rising heat and sexual tension between you two. Sure, every time you did this, there was sexual tension, its inevitable. However, you never felt it. They were usually not exciting or sexual for you at all. It was different this time though. The more he touched you, the more you wanted to give into those desires.
“OOO, damn, you really know how to move.” Minho whines, followed by a string of curse words. Feeling risky, you move your hand down towards his throbbing cock. You moved your hand around his clothed member, light circling your thumb around his tip.
“Wow, you’re so hard for me, baby,” you accidentally moan, “am I making you fell good?”
You turn around, putting your arms around his neck, leaning your head back, giving him as much possible access to your chest as possible.
“I’m impressed. Fuck, you feel so good against me.” A deep groan is released from his mouth.
Without asking this time, his hands move towards your breasts. He cupped them for a moment, before seeing your hardened nipples through your limited clothing. You roll your head back when he pinches one. Your sensitivity at an all time high.
“What’s your name?” He mutters out, barely being able to speak from the immense pleasure that was building up in him from your touch. Disappointment fills you when you realise that your time is up. You stopped moving against him. Instead leaving like usual, your sat there, moving one hands up under his shirt. Your mouth almost watered when you felt his well-well-defined stomach muscles.
“That’s for me to know, you to find out.” You whisper in his ear, pressing a small kiss to his lobe before getting up and walking back to the dressing room.
Lee Minho. Who was he? You had no idea, but you sure as hell wished that you would be seeing him again, and fast.

How Many Republicans Are In The United States

How Many Republicans Are In The United States
Tumblr media
Polling Data Shows Republican Party Affiliation Is Down As Independents Leaning Toward The Democratic Party Surge
Democrats have a nine-percentage-point affiliation advantage over Republicans at the moment.
Resize icon
The GOP is losing its grip, according to the latest Gallup poll. 
The number of Americans identifying as Republicans or as independents who lean toward the GOP dropped to 40% in the first quarter of 2021, compared with the number of Democrats or independents leaning toward the Democratic party hitting 49%. And that nine-percentage-point lead is the greatest Democratic advantage that Gallup has measured since the fourth quarter of 2012, when former President Barack Obama was re-elected. 
Gallup routinely measures U.S. adults’ party identification and the political leanings of independents. The latest poll surveyed a random sample of 3,960 U.S. adults by phone between January and March of 2021. And while Democratic Party affiliation actually dropped by one point from the fourth quarter of 2020, to 30% — where it has hovered for most of the past eight years — the number of Americans identifying as independent rose to 44% from 38% last quarter. And this growing number of independents came at the expense of the Republican party, as 19% of independents said they lean Democrat, compared with 15% leaning Republican. Most of the remaining 11% of independents didn’t swing either way. 
And several events have happened during those three months that could position the Democratic Party more favorably in voters’ eyes, the Gallup report noted.

A Different America: How Republicans Hold Near Total Control In 23 Us States
In those states, Republicans hold the governorship and the legislature, giving them the power to take aim at abortion access, trans rights, voting and gun safety
Last modified on Tue 15 Jun 2021 14.38 BST
Democrats across the US cheered last month, as Texas legislators staged a walkout from the statehouse to block the passage of a Republican bill that would enact a number of restrictions on voting access.
Read more
But the victory seemed short-lived, as the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, quickly announced he planned to call a special session to get the legislation passed.
The walkout and the probably only temporary relief it provides for Democrats demonstrated the immense legislative power that Republicans have in dozens of states across the country and the ability that gives them to pass a hard-right agenda on a vast range of issues from abortion to the ability to vote.
In 23 US states, Republicans hold the governorship and the legislature, giving the party near total control to advance its policies. This year, Republicans have used that power to aggressively push their conservative social agenda – taking aim at abortion access, transgender rights and gun safety, as well as voting laws.
During the Texas legislative session, which concluded late last month, Republicans approved bills to allow permitless carry of firearms, ban abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy and increase criminal penalties for protesters who block intersections.
For The First Time There Are Fewer Registered Republicans Than Independents
For the first time in history, there are more registered independents in the United States than there are registered Republicans.
It may not be for the reason you think, though.
arrow-right
New data from Ballot Access News, which tracks registrations in the 31 states that require voters to register by party, shows that independents account for 29.09 percent of voters in them, compared with 28.87 percent for Republicans. As recently as 2004, Republicans outpaced independents by nearly 10 percentage points.
There are still way more registered Democrats; 39.66 percent of voters are registered with that party.
This marks the first time since party registration began in the early 1900s that the number of registered independents in the United States has surpassed members of either major political party, according to Ballot Access News.
Here’s the data going back to 2004:
But before anybody chalks this up as having to do with the current occupant of the White House, it’s worth parsing the trends.
While independents have surpassed Republicans, there actually hasn’t been a huge drop in GOP party registration since President Trump took office. Since October 2016, GOP registration has dropped by half a percentage point. The number of registered Democrats declined by nearly a full point over the same span. Independents have benefited from both drops.
Republican Lawmakers Push To Cast Vaccine Refusal As A Civil Rights Issue
Bills in several statehouses seek to block employers from demanding Covid-19 immunization, even though few do
Last modified on Fri 16 Jul 2021 19.48 BST
State Republican lawmakers across the United States are pushing forward bills that prohibit vaccine mandates in an attempt to give the refusal to have a Covid-19 vaccine the same sort of legal protections as those often surrounding issues of gender, religion and race.
Many Republican states are introducing bills that outlaw vaccine mandates within state offices, schools and workplaces, even though vaccine mandates are not commonplace among employers. They also come as the vaccine rollout in the US has slowed markedly, even though the more contagious Delta variant is spreading rapidly, especially among unvaccinated people.

Covid-19 vaccines are life-saving medications whose side effects are generally mild. Independent expert panels have repeatedly found the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk of potential Covid-19 infection. More than 185 million Americans have received at least one vaccine dose.
“It’s sort of a solution looking for a problem,” said Lowell Pearson, a managing partner at Husch Blackwell, a firm that has been tracking the bills. “We’re not seeing really any broad sense that employers are requiring vaccines in office settings, in manufacturing settings and other places like that.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Us House Votes To Strip Republican Of Key Posts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The US House of Representatives has voted to expel a Republican congresswoman from two committees over incendiary remarks she made before being elected last November.
Marjorie Taylor Greene had promoted baseless QAnon conspiracy theories and endorsed violence against Democrats.
Before the vote, she said she regretted her views, which included claims that school shootings and 9/11 were staged.
Eleven Republicans joined the Democrats to pass the motion by 230-199.
The Republican dilemma, embodied in one politician
It means the representative – who was elected in November, representing a district in the southern state of Georgia – cannot take up her place on the education and budget committees.
This would limit her ability to shape policy as most legislation goes through a committee before reaching the House floor. Committee positions can determine the influence of individual lawmakers in their party.
It is highly unusual for one party to intervene in another party’s House committee assignments.
On Friday, Mrs Greene said that she woke up “laughing” at the situation.
“I woke up early this morning literally laughing thinking about what a bunch of morons the Democrats are for giving some one like me free time,” she tweeted, referencing the 11 Republicans who also voted to remove her.
At a news conference in Washington hours later, Mrs Greene said that Democrats had “stripped my district of their voice” by removing her from the committees.
Why Do I Put My Life On The Line Pandemic Trauma Haunts Health Workers
Many health workers feel disillusioned and underappreciated.
Republican state Sen. Ralph Alvarado of Kentucky, a 50-year-old physician, said instead of shaming people who are reluctant to get vaccinated, it’s crucial to understand their concerns. He said he spends a lot of time dispelling myths about vaccines among his constituents, patients and community.
“As a doctor, I remind my colleagues that when we prescribe or recommend a course of action for somebody, no matter what the disease or prevention is, if people become resistant or hesitant, our medical code of ethics doesn’t say to humiliate,” he said. “You reassure and educate them.”
He added that a lot of people are fearful when politics is involved, because “people pick sides instead of picking the message.”
Public health experts also have stressed the need to focus outreach efforts on science. An analysis published in Health Affairs, a peer-reviewed health journal, stated that when “science and values, not politics, inform public health,” it “unlocks potential for higher vaccine coverage.”
The de Beaumont Foundation, a Maryland-based charitable foundation focused on health solutions, held a two-hour session with a focus group in March that found messaging helps to build trust. The group consisted of almost 20 people who identified as conservative Republicans who supported Trump.
List Of Current Mayors Of The Top 100 Cities In The United States
Municipal partisanship in 2021
This page lists the current mayors of the 100 largest U.S. cities by population.
As of 2013, an estimated 62,186,079 citizens lived in these cities, accounting for 19.67 percent of the nation’s total population.
In most of the nation’s largest cities, mayoral elections are officially nonpartisan, though many officeholders and candidates are affiliated with political parties. Ballotpedia used one or more of the following sources to identify each officeholder’s partisan affiliation: direct communication from the officeholder, current or previous candidacy for partisan office, or identification of partisan affiliation by multiple media outlets. As of August 2021, the partisan breakdown of the mayors of the 100 largest U.S. cities was 63 Democrats, 26 Republicans, four independents, and six nonpartisans. The affiliation of one mayor was unknown.
Of these cities, there are 47 strong mayor governments, 46 council-manager governments, six hybrid governments, and one city commission.
At the start of 2021…
HIGHLIGHTS
Based on 2013 population estimates, 76% of the population of the top 100 cities lived in cities with Democratic mayors, and 15% lived in cities with Republican mayors.
Allen Joines , mayor of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, had been in office the longest; he first took office in 2001.

Census Data May Blunt Expected Republican Election Gains In 2022
FILE – This April 5, 2020, photo shows an envelope containing a 2020 census letter mailed to a U.S. resident in Detroit.
WASHINGTON – The release of detailed local data from the U.S. census this week demonstrated that the country is diversifying and urbanizing more quickly than many had believed, and those results have real consequences for what Congress will look like throughout the coming decade.
In general, the news was good for the Democratic Party. It suggests that some of the anticipated losses in the 2022 elections may be mitigated slightly by population growth in large metropolitan areas, which tend to vote for Democrats, and a decline in rural populations, which tend to favor the Republican Party.
In his analysis for The Cook Political Report, David Wasserman wrote that “although Republicans hold more sway in redistricting, Democrats have to be pretty happy with today’s results.”
Drawing new congressional maps
The decennial count of the American people is used for many purposes, but one of the most visible is the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives. While every state’s allotment of senators is fixed at two, the size of their respective House delegations varies with population.
Republicans favored to take House
GOP advantage blunted
Inevitable lawsuits
Wasserman also pointed out that the data may also make it more difficult for Republicans to defend especially aggressive redistricting in court.
Map: Republicans To Have Full Control Of 23 States Democrats 15
In 2021, Republicans will have full control of the legislative and executive branch in 23 states. Democrats will have full control of the legislative and executive branch in 15 states.
Population of the 24 fully R-controlled states: 134,035,267Population of the 15 fully D-controlled states: 120,326,393
Republicans have full control of the legislative branch in 30 states. Democrats have full control of the legislative branch in 18 states.
Population of the 30 fully R-controlled legislature states: 185,164,412Population of the 18 fully D-controlled legislature states: 133,888,565
This week, Andrew Cuomo’s star went down in flames. While the smoke clears, let’s take a moment to sit back and reminisce about the governor’s long history with ethical and legal violations.
Cuomo’s controversies regarding sexual harassment and nursing homes deaths were far from his first abuses of power. In fact, his administration has a long history of it, ranging from interfering with ethics commissions, to financial corruption.
In July 2013, Cuomo formed the Moreland Commission to investigate corruption in New York’s government. At first it was a success, giving Cuomo good PR. Yet as it went on there were rumors that, contrary to his claim that “Anything they want to look at they can look at,” Cuomo was interfering with the Commission’s investigations. There was friction within the Commission, itself with two factions forming: “’Team Independence’ and ‘Team We-Have-a-Boss’.”
      Are There More Democrats Than Republicans In The United States
I have been thinking about the Democratic Party and whether or not its members are more numerous than the opposing faction.
Evidence to suggest this is the case:
This party is expected to win the popular vote for president seven out of eight times since 1992. Please don’t say “this hasn’t happened yet”. If this bothers you, say 6 out of 7.
The party has received 51.9 percent of the votes cast in presidential elections from 1992 to 2016 for it or its opponent, the Republican Party. This shows that 2012 was the mean election in popular vote as of 2016.
Party registration in states that register by party says this same thing.
Trump’s approval has not gone above 50 percent ever as president on 538.
A plurality of Americans consistently supported impeachment by 2 to 5 points while it was happening.
This suggests that the partisan lean the American electorate is about D+4. I believe that it might be closer to D+5 now for various reasons and the fact that 2012 was the mean result. This can get a little bit fuzzy because of independents.
Active Oldest Votes
If we look at opinion polling, Gallup has collated party affiliation polls back to 2004. The most recent poll at the time of writing gives a D+11 advantage. Looking just at the net Republican/Democrat advantage, ignoring Independents, we can create the graph below – with positive percentages representing a Democrat lead, and negative percentages representing a Republican lead.
To give a theoretical perspective on this:
Democrats Think Many Republicans Sincere And Point To Policy
Democrats, however, were somewhat more generous in their answers.  More than four in ten Democratic voters   felt that most Republican voters had the country’s best interests at heart .  And many tried their best to answer from the other’s perspective. A 45-year-old male voter from Ohio imagined that as a Republican, he was motivated by Republicans’ “harsh stance on immigration; standing up for the 2nd Amendment; promised tax cuts.”  A 30-year-old woman from Colorado felt that Republican votes reflected the desires to “stop abortion… stop gay marriage from ruining our country… and give us our coal jobs back.”
Other Democrats felt that their opponents were mostly motivated by the GOP’s “opposition to Obamacare,” “lower taxes” and to support a party that “reduced unemployment.” 
Scholarly Views On The Genetics And Psychology Of Politics
In Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives, and the Biology of Political Differences three political scientists provide psychological and biological explanation of how a person’s genetic makeup predisposes them to be liberal or conservative. They conclude:
If you accept that your political views are imbued less with majestic rationality than primal biology, that they bubble up from within rather than get passed down from on high, and if you recognize that predispositions affect how people perceive, process, and experience the world, you will have learned something valuable….
Democrats Return The Favor: Republicans Uninformed Or Self
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 429 Democratic voters in our sample returned the favor and raised many of the same themes. Democrats inferred that Republicans must be “VERY ill-informed,” or that “Fox news told me to vote for Republicans.”  Or that Republicans are “uneducated and misguided people guided by what the media is feeding them.”
Many also attributed votes to individual self-interest – whereas GOP voters feel Democrats want “free stuff,” many Democrats believe Republicans think that “I got mine and don’t want the libs to take it away,” or that “some day I will be rich and then I can get the benefits that rich people get now.”
Many used the question to express their anger and outrage at the other side.  Rather than really try to take the position of their opponents, they said things like, “I like a dictatorial system of Government, I’m a racist, I hate non-whites.” 
Vaccination Outreach Shifts As Demand Drops In Some States
Some states are hitting a hesitancy wall.
Not all Republican men are so staunchly resistant.
At 70 years old, longtime Georgia state Rep. Tommy Benton said it would be foolish for him and others in his age group to turn down a vaccine. Benton, who doesn’t have underlying health conditions, didn’t want to catch COVID-19 or transmit it to his grandkids or peers, he said.
“It doesn’t matter how healthy you are. At…65 or above, you might end up getting sick with this disease and it’ll be more than your 65-or-above system can handle,” Benton said.
Wyoming state Rep. Daniel Zwonitzer, 41, who lives in the most vaccine-hesitant state in the country, said he took a vaccine for the safety of others, particularly for the older staff, legislators and volunteers in the Wyoming legislature. While Zwonitzer believes in freedom and liberty, he said, he also believes in public health. Zwonitzer does not have any preexisting health conditions, he noted.
He said a few of his Republican colleagues think COVID-19 and vaccines against it are a hoax, but he disagreed, pointing out that one of his fellow Republicans died from the disease.
Some Republican men and health officials cited the politicization of mask-wearing and shutdowns under former President Donald Trump’s administration, and its downplaying of the seriousness of the pandemic, as causes for the vaccine hesitancy among conservatives.
Taking The Perspective Of Others Proved To Be Really Hard
The divide in the United States is wide, and one indication of that is how difficult our question proved for many thoughtful citizens. A 77-year-old Republican woman from Pennsylvania was typical of the voters who struggled with this question, telling us, “This is really hard for me to even try to think like a devilcrat!, I am sorry but I in all honesty cannot answer this question. I cannot even wrap my mind around any reason they would be good for this country.”
Similarly, a 53-year-old Republican from Virginia said, “I honestly cannot even pretend to be a Democrat and try to come up with anything positive at all, but, I guess they would vote Democrat because they are illegal immigrants and they are promised many benefits to voting for that party. Also, just to follow what others are doing. And third would be just because they hate Trump so much.” The picture she paints of the typical Democratic voter being an immigrant, who goes along with their party or simply hates Trump will seem like a strange caricature to most Democratic voters. But her answer seems to lack the animus of many.  
Democrats struggled just as much as Republicans. A 33-year-old woman from California told said, “i really am going to have a hard time doing this” but then offered that Republicans “are morally right as in values, … going to protect us from terrorest and immigrants, … going to create jobs.”
The Republican Party General Policy And Political Values
The Republican Party is often referred to as the GOP. This abbreviation stands for Grand Old Party. Its logo is an elephant. The Republican Party is known to support right-leaning ideologies of conservatism, social conservatism, and economic libertarianism, among other -isms. Thus, Republicans broadly advocate for traditional values, a low degree of government interference, and large support of the private sector.
One main standpoint of the Republican Party platform is a strong focus on the family and individual freedom. Generally, the Republican Party therefore often tends to promote states’ and local rights. That means that they often wish for federal regulations to play a lesser role in policymaking. Furthermore, the GOP has a pro-business-oriented platform. Thus, the party advocates for businesses to exist in a free market instead of being impacted by tight government regulations.
The Democratic Party General Policy And Political Values
The Democratic Party generally represents left-leaning, liberal and progressive ideological values, thus advocating for a strong government to regulate business and support for the citizens of the United States. Thus, one of the key values emphasized by Democrats is social responsibility. Overall, Democrats believe that a prominent and powerful government can ensure welfare and equality for all. Much like the Republican Party, political opinions within the Democratic Party stretch across a wide spectrum, as both parties are, to a large degree, decentralized. However, from a general point of view, Democrats tend to support heavy taxation of high-income households. In comparison to Denmark, where taxes are generally high, the Democratic taxation policy may not seem excessive, but on a U.S. taxation scale these tax percentages are in the heavy end.

Has Marjorie Taylor Greene Really Left Qanon Behind
Analysis by Alistair Coleman, BBC Monitoring
Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that she stopped believing in the QAnon conspiracy in 2018
However, she continued to allude to ideas pushed by QAnon believers.
In a 2019 video she claimed that then-Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was being played by a body double.
The idea stemmed from the macabre conspiracy theory that Ginsburg’s death – which actually did occur, later, in September 2020 – was somehow being covered up.
Odd as it sounds, in feverish QAnon groups where the rumour was born, whispers about imposters and political “body doubles” are fairly common.
In December 2020, she insisted in a now-deleted social media post that the QAnon community was “exposing truth”.
And somewhat prophetically, in a February 2019 video post she called for people to flood the US Capitol building to demonstrate against Democrats. The month before, she “liked” a post saying that it would be quicker to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “with a bullet to the head”.
She refused to address these issues when questioned Friday. Mrs Greene may have left overt support for QAnon behind, but it appears she’s still paying attention to what’s being said in conspiracy-minded groups.
The Philosophy Behind Democratic Economic Policy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Democrats gear their economic policies to benefit low-income and middle-income families. They argue that reducing income inequality is the best way to foster economic growth. Low-income families are more likely to spend any extra money on necessities instead of saving or investing it. That directly increases demand and spurs economic growth. Democrats also support a Keynesian economic theory, which says that the government should spend its way out of a recession.
One dollar spent on increased food stamp benefits generates $1.73 in economic output.??
President Franklin D. Roosevelt first outlined the Economic Bill of Rights in his 1944 State of the Union address. It included taxes on war profiteering and price controls on food costs. President Harry Truman’s 1949 Fair Deal proposed an increase in the minimum wage, civil rights legislation, and national health care. President Barack Obama expanded Medicaid with the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
The Philosophy Behind Republican Economic Policy
Republicans advocate supply-side economics that primarily benefits businesses and investors. This theory states that tax cuts on businesses allow them to hire more workers, in turn increasing demand and growth. In theory, the increased revenue from a stronger economy offsets the initial revenue loss over time.
Republicans advocate the right to pursue prosperity without government interference. They argue this is achieved by self-discipline, enterprise, saving, and investing.
Republicans’ business-friendly approach leads most people to believe that they are better for the economy. A closer look reveals that Democrats are, in many respects, actually better.
% Of Republicans View Trump As True Us President

WASHINGTON, May 24 – A majority of Republicans still believe Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election and blame his loss to Joe Biden on illegal voting, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
The May 17-19 national poll found that 53% of Republicans believe Trump, their party’s nominee, is the “true president” now, compared to 3% of Democrats and 25% of all Americans.
About one-quarter of adults believe the Nov. 3 election was tainted by illegal voting, including 56% of Republicans, according to the poll. The figures were roughly the same in a poll that ran from Nov. 13-17 which found that 28% of all Americans and 59% of Republicans felt that way.
A Democrat, Biden won by more than seven million votes. Dozens of courts rejected Trump’s challenges to the results, but Trump and his supporters have persisted in pushing baseless conspiracy theories on conservative news outlets.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 61% of Republicans believe the election was “stolen” from Trump. Only about 29% of Republicans believe he should share some of the blame for his supporters’ Jan. 6 deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Voter Registration And State Political Control
This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
The state Democratic or Republican Party controls the governorship, the state legislative houses, and U.S. Senate representation. Nebraska’s legislature is unicameral, i.e., it has only one legislative house and is officially non-partisan, though party affiliation still has an unofficial influence on the legislative process.
The simplest measure of party strength in a state voting population is the affiliation totals from voter registration for the 30 states and the District of Columbia as of 2019 that allow registered voters to indicate a party preference when registering to vote. 20 states do not include party preference with voter registration: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. The party affiliations in the party control table are obtained from state party registration figures where indicated. Only Wyoming has a majority of registered voters identifying themselves as Republicans; two states have a majority of registered voters identifying themselves as Democrats: Maryland and Kentucky .
The Party Thats Actually Best For The Economy
Many analyses look at which party is best for the economy. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.
A study by Princeton University economists Alan Blinder and Mark Watson found that the economy performs better when the president is a Democrat. They report that “by many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large.” Between Truman and Obama, growth was 1.8% higher under Democrats than Republicans.
A Hudson Institute study found that the six years with the best growth were evenly split between Republican and Democrat presidents.
Most of these evaluations measure growth during the president’s term in office. But no president has control over the growth added during his first year. The budget for that fiscal year was already set by the previous president, so you should compare the gross domestic product at the end of the president’s last budget to the end of his predecessor’s last budget.
For Obama, that would be the fiscal year from October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2018. That’s FY 2010 through FY 2017. During that time, GDP increased from $15.6 trillion to $17.7 trillion, or by 14%. That’s 1.7% a year.
The chart below ranks the presidents since 1929 on the average annual increase in GDP.
President
1.4%
A president would have better growth if he had no recession.
Contrast With Color Usage In Other Countries
The recent association of colors in American politics lies contrary to the long-standing conventions of political color in most other countries whereby red symbols ” rel=”nofollow”>red flag or red star) are associated with left-wing politics. Indeed, as late as the 1990s, Democrats were often represented by red and Republicans by blue. According to The Washington Post, journalist Tim Russert coined these terms during his televised coverage of the 2000 presidential election. The 2000 election was not the first during which the news media used colored maps to depict voter preferences in the various states, but it was the first time a standard color scheme took hold. In previous elections, the color assignments or even the actual colors used were often different.

Mixing It Up - TroubleMaker! Min Yoongi X Reader - Final
And that concludes the Mixing It Up series. I was definitely not expecting to finish today but it seems like writers block decided to grow legs and take a walk or something.
I hope you enjoyed reading this series and I want to thank all who continuously support me and my work, not just during MIU but in general. You guys are the real MVPs.
Lots of love for you all. Oh, and don’t forget about the poll! All votes after tomorrow won’t be counted so vote for the next victim for my writing while you can lmao
Preview  Part 1  Part 2  Part 3  Part 4  Part 5  Part 6  Part 7  Part 8  Part 9  Part 10  Part 11 - Final - Here
“Good morning students. I have a brief announcement to make today.”
You groaned internally as your principals voice boomed trough the speakers on an early Monday morning. It had been two and a half weeks since Yoongi had declared that you were his girlfriend to you and from then on everything seemed to move slowly. Not much happened other than receiving news that Mi-Rae had been sent to a behavior correctional school and was permanently expelled from her own school. Her father was given a month suspension for abusing his power and demoted to vice principal, the original vice principal obviously replacing him. After this news had been spread amongst the students, everyone seemed to be visibly more open. You weren’t sure how but it was something you definitely noticed.
“As your fellow classmates school has made a rather fast recovery, they will all be able to return to school as of next week Monday.”
All was silent following the news, even after your principal had concluded his announcement. These past months had been so hectic you had forgotten that at some point everyone would have to return to their respective school. Everyone included Yoongi and the boys.
The class had burst into chatter and you could distinctly hear an exchange of goodbyes from some of your classmates though you were not sure why as there was still a full week left.
Your teacher had calmed the class down five minutes later and had begun your lesson. You couldn’t focus as the only thing that was circling your mind was the fact that things were most definitely going to change.
-
“Wow, they really fixed our school up quick! I wasn’t expecting having to go to that crap school for at least another month of two.”
Taehyung was the first to bring up the news during your lunch break, his words pulling out a hum of agreement from some of your friends.
“I’m going to miss hanging out like this...” Jimin’s soft voice caused you to turn in his direction, catching sight of his disappointed smile.
“We can still hang out after school. There’s nothing stopping us from doing that.”
It was Seokjin’s turn to speak, confidence rolling off his tongue. There was no room for disagreement.
“To think none of us would have ever thought we’d be close like this just months ago. Especially you and Yoongi. That was a complete shock, Yoongi is so negative.”
Namjoon’s input caused you to think back to the times you would have gagged at the sound of Yoongi’s voice. It seemed so long ago though it had only been just a few months.
“It’s too bad he’s still suspended. To think they would still suspend him after all Mi-Rae has done.”
Suhyun glanced at you as she said this, waiting for you to join in on the conversation. However, Jungkook beat you to it.
“Well, they were still his fireworks even if Mi-Rae used them. It’s something you’re not allowed to bring in for obvious reasons.”
Yoongi’s suspension did not end even after he was proven to be innocent. If anything, he ended up with two more weeks of suspension meaning not only would he not return to your school but he would still be suspended when everyone else had settled back into school.
“Yeah... that ass shouldn’t bring crap like that into school anyway.”
Hoseok choked on his water whilst the rest of your company attempted to stifle their laughter. All but Taehyung who had released his in a booming volume.
“Ah, I love you Y/N! You can insult Yoongi and get away with it. I’m definitely going to get used to this.”
You would too.
-
Just as you had dreaded, a week passed by with not much happening and before you knew it, everything had returned to normal. You hated to say it but it was as if nothing had happened. The only difference between then and now was your relationship with the boys had changed significantly.
Sighing on a Wednesday morning, Suhyun raised an eyebrow at your obviously saddened state.
“It’s been three days. And nothing is stopping you from seeing them after school or on weekends.”
Her words did nothing to lift your mood, mainly due to the fact that her downcast tone betrayed the words that left her mouth.
“I know but... think about it. Not that I don’t love your company but it feels empty without them. With just us two.”
Suhyun hummed in agreement just as your teacher entered your classroom. After ushering everyone to their seats, he began the lesson though you couldn’t focus. Your mind was on how the boys were doing back at their school.
You’re being ridiculous, they are grown boys. Why are you worrying yourself over this?
Your inner most thoughts were making themselves known which somewhat cheered you up. It’s not the end of the world, in a weeks time you too will have returned back to your senses. When that time comes you’ll be able to focus on your work without being overly dramatic about them.
Heaving a heavy sigh, you picked up your pen and began to scrawl down notes from the lesson.
Might as well try to start now.
-
When the school day came to an end, to your great surprise Yoongi was waiting for you outside your school. Your shock was short lived when you remembered his suspension continued on despite having left your school.
“Hey. What’s wrong.” He seemed to notice your somewhat downcast mood and addressed it as soon as you reached him. A frown accompanied his words before he glanced over your head, searching for something.
“Did someone say something to you? I’ll break their fingers.” His threat was spoken in a calm voice and you grabbed his hand to redirect his eyes towards you.
“No! I just miss you guys.”
He raised an eyebrow at you before relieving you of your bag, throwing it on his shoulder and wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
“Guys? You shouldn’t miss anyone but me. Isn’t that how relationships work?”
You scoffed at this. You would have punched him if you didn’t know this was his own special way of raising your spirits. Trying to amuse you. Which, you hated to admit, was working.
“Maybe in your head but not mine.”
You watched as a smirk grew on his lips, causing a small grin to grow on your own.
“Wow, that’s harsh. I missed you and only you, you know.”
“Well, who else are you going to miss? You’re so lazy, you don’t meet any new people and you see the boys almost everyday in school.”
“You never know, I might miss some of your school mates. I was in a different class than you, surrounded by girls.”
You ducked out from underneath his arm, a glare plastered on your face as you delivered a swift kick to his thigh.
“Ow! I was only kidding! How can I miss anyone other than my cute but very angry girlfriend? You’re too special. Actually, I did miss Suhyun a bit but mainly you.”
You pursed your lips as you stared down Yoongi who was currently too focused on massaging the back of his thigh.
“Sorry...” As your one word apology left your mouth, he glanced up only to be immediately wrapped in your arms, something he welcomed with open arms. Whilst his own slid around your body, you took in the scent you had almost forgotten in the space of three days.
“You’re so cute.” You felt him mumble this into your hair before pulling away.
“Now let’s go before some shit head sees me. I have a reputation to keep up.”
When in public, Yoongi could only be a soft for a short amount of time. A very short amount of time.
-
Yoongi’s mother gushed over your relationship having just found out about it very recently. For a reason unknown to you, she seemed to already see you as her own daughter.
“Ah, you’re so perfect! I always expected Yoongi to bring home someone the complete opposite of you. It seems my son has great taste.” As her words left her mouth in a rush, she grinned at you, taking your hand in her own. Yoongi certainly did not take after his mother. His father perhaps...?
“I can’t wait for you to meet my husband. He will definitely love you as much as I do.” Right on cue, a rather tall man entered the living room you were currently situated in, blinking a couple of times at the sight of his wife doting on you.
“We have a guest... welcome.” You were already beginning to see traces of a Yoongi in his father who seemed to be a calm and collected man. You just hoped he wasn’t as strict as you were imagining him to be.
“That’s not how you introduce yourself to your sons girlfriend!” You flinched at the harsh tone Yoongi’s mother used when she snapped at her husband. The man himself did not react. What he did do was give you an intense stare and although it was only for a couple of seconds, you were almost certain he had read you like an open book.
At last, he cracked a small, genuine smile. Though it was your first time meeting Yoongi’s father, you were immensely proud that something about you seemed to draw out a smile from the otherwise stoic man.
Just as Yoongi’s father made a move to voice his thoughts, your boyfriend decided to show up.
“Babe, Taehyung keeps talking about giving you those shitty cookies and I-“ Once he took notice of his father, his brows furrowed immediately and he made a beeline straight for you. Grabbing your arm, he all but yanked you out of your seat beside his mother and dragged you out of the room.
“Why’re you smiling old man? That’s a first.”
Despite his words, a playful smirk broke out on Yoongi’s face.
“Yoongi, I don’t know how many times I’ve told you to not call me ‘old man’. Continue and I might have to pop out a few photos of you for your lovely girlfriend to see how strange you really are.”  
Your feet planted themselves on the ground and you stared at Yoongi with surprised eyes.
“I want to see these photos.” Spinning on your heel, you snatched your arm out of his grip, beginning your short journey back to the living room. You reached the door with a broad grin on your face, Yoongi’s parents coming into sight, both of which returned your smiles.
“Hello, my name is Y/N. I am Yoongi’s girlfriend and I would like to see these photos you speak of sir.” Before you took another step into the room, a surprisingly strong pair of arms encircled your waist and lifted you up into the air. As Yoongi dragged you back to his room, you flailed your arms about and kicked your legs out, struggling against his hold.
It was futile.
- Hours later, you found yourself entering the elevator in Yoongi’s apartment complex alongside said boy.
“Your parents are really nice.”
He scoffed as he pressed the ground floor button, shoving his hands into his pockets.
“Yeah, because they like you. You’ve never seen them in action.”
And you didn’t ever want to have to see them in action.
As the elevators descended several floors, you recalled the last time you were forced to take the elevator with Yoongi.
Come to think of it, didn’t it-
A jolt broke your thought tracks and your eyes widened as realisation dawned upon you.
You were stuck with Yoongi. Again.
The circumstances were different, though what happened in the next few moments were not so much.
“If I remember correctly, isn’t this where we had our first kiss?” As each word left his mouth, Yoongi drew closer to you, so close to the point where he was able to place a hand on the elevator wall beside your head.
“Yes, it was. Yoongi, if you step any closer to me we’ll end up-“ Yoongi’s lips met your own in a soft kiss. When he didn’t make any move to release your lips, you reached a hand out, cupping the side of his face. After what seemed like a good five minutes, he pulled back, searching your face with a smirk on his own.
Probably searching for a blush to tease you about, sly idiot.
At least this time you knew how to react.
-
You glared at the school building in front of you, wishing it to burst into flames. It might as well do just that considering the situation you were currently in.
Who would have thought this would happen only months after Yoongi’s school returned to their rightful place? You surely did not see this coming at all. Your whole school had been evacuated which explained why you were outside in the cold weather as of this moment.
An infestation. A giant bug infestation. They had nestled their way into the schools walls and laid eggs there, increasing their population drastically. The school needed to undergo fumigation thus you were all forced to leave the school for the next week or so. Lord knows what bugs were currently living in the walls of your school, thinking about it made your skin crawl.
“So what now? No school for an indefinite amount of time?” Your question was directed towards Suhyun however you received and answer from someone else.
“We’re arranging spaces for our students to study at nearby schools. Self study doesn’t seem like a good option considering how many grades seem to be dropping. In other words, I’m sending half of you to our good friends down the street and that half includes both of you.” These words came from none other than your schools principal, who was standing behind both you and Suhyun, a glare also fixed on his school.
I took all of your willpower to stop yourself from screaming out in joy. Why your principal decided that the both of you would attend Yoongi’s school was beyond you but you were not about to complain.
You couldn’t believe the kind of luck you had. You must have done something right in your previous life for opportunities like this to come your way.
Tomorrow you would be sharing a school with some of the best teenagers in the city. Luckily for you, Yoongi was among them.

The completely unnecessary news analysis
by Christopher Smart
January 12, 2021
  SMART BOMB SPECIAL EDITION
  TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK — TO WHAT?
  It is the definition of sedition: The president of the United States incited an attack on the Congress of the United States in order to remain in office after having lost a free and fair election.
  It had never happened before in this country.
  “We're going to take our country back” was the battle cry of the day and has been the rebel yell of the radical right for some time. The question: Back from whom? Back to where?
  It looks a lot like the “Lost Cause” dating from the late 1800s and Reconstruction following the defeat of the South in the Civil War, repackaged for working-class white Americans who feel aggrieved. It also bears similarity to fascist movements and the  failed 1923 Nazi coup known as the “Beer Hall Putsch.” It is white nationalism.
  The attacking mob on Jan. 6, 2021 numbered in the thousands — mostly white men who believed the election had been stolen based solely on the word of President Donald Trump who had lost some 50 court challenges to the overwhelming victory by Joe Biden. Republicans in Congress reinforced the lie. But the mob didn't need much convincing. These self-described patriots had been spoiling for a fight for some time.
  Misinformation and division won the day — a day that had been nurtured by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones and Fox News as well as Christian conservatives. Donald Trump won the 2016 election by tapping into fear and anger that had been stoked for decades. Right-wing radicals, who once were small enough to ignore, now encompass a significant portion of the population and they had found their Pied Piper — one who has 88 million followers on Twitter.
  Their attacks on our democracy will surely continue.
  Outrage Industry
  The outrage industry couldn't have come this far without help from mainstream politicians, most notably Republicans who have been running against Washington, aka our elected democracy, since Ronald Reagan's successful 1980 bid for the White House, when he famously announced that “government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”
  Verbal attacks on the federal government came into vogue. For his entire 42 years in the Senate, Orrin Hatch ran against Washington. More and more, Americans came to see the federal government in a negative light.
  At the same time, conservatives were making the word “liberal” into something less than palatable. Their willingness to twist the language to their political benefit went hand-in-hand with a campaign bankrolled by big money to gin up the culture wars by decrying Democrats as baby-killers and jack-booted thugs coming to take your guns and legalize gay marriage.
  They also claimed to be fighting the Deep State, identified as the evil control center of an ill-defined power structure within government that propped up the likes of Hillary Clinton and was dead set on the undoing of Donald Trump, no matter what the Fake News said.
  One of Trump's earliest ploys — right out of the Mussolini handbook — was to savage the mainstream news media. Power mongers have a difficult time when a healthy press is there to hold them in check. But his efforts to label journalists as “enemies of the people” succeeded with many Americans, underscoring their mistrust and outrage.
  Danger — Clear and Present
  As Donald Trump emerged as the front-runner in the Republican 2016 Primary, alarms went off across the country. Even USA Today editorialized that he is a dangerous man. His critics included South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Utah Sen. Mike Lee. But Trump attracted huge crowds and promised his cheering fans they would take back the country to a time when it was “Great.” With high poll numbers and a greed for power, he grabbed control of the Republican Party like a mob boss selling insurance to sniveling, little shopkeepers.
  Along the way Trump employed racist and sexist dog whistles and pushed an undercurrent of violence, which his crowds loved. Good, hard-working Americans were getting screwed by the Chinese, by our European allies, by corporations sending jobs overseas and by minorities who would be dealt with.
  It was tailored nicely to fit into the new, digital world where the internet opened a galaxy of information sources and sites where white supremacists and radical groups, like the Proud Boys and QAnon, could communicate and organize and where such things as Covid 19 can be turned into dangerous conspiracies. People who would never trust The New York Times or CNN happily gobbled up internet subterfuge as gospel.
  In the days after the Jan. 6 assault, radical right-wing organizers were already scheming for coming demonstrations and the Jan. 20 inauguration of Joe Biden.
  Despite the horror of the attack, six Republican senators and 141 Republican house members voted against certifying Biden's election, playing, of course, to Donald Trump's political base. They also gave solace to those who took part or supported the attack on Congress.
  The domestic terrorists and their backers have no apparent plan beyond disrupting our government and our society. Like Trump, they have little desire to build anything — and like him, continue to be a clear and present danger.
Post script — So far, 2021 has been the absolute pits. The sun was supposed to come out on Jan. 1 when we kissed 2020 goodbye forever. And now look. You know it's bad when people in Moldova are feeling sorry for us. Covid victims are dropping like flies — 375,000 and counting — folks are out of work, the price of beer is up and it won't snow. We could go on and on but it wouldn't help. It's one of those times when you just have to keep on keeping on. We could be reading about the founders and how Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and others labored long and hard to create a bulwark for democracy through a self-governing republic with checks and balances. After the election of Donald Trump, Pulitzer Prize winning historian Thomas E. Ricks decided to re-examine the thinking of the founders, who he described as “statesmen and revolutionaries.” He surmises that the founders did anticipate a Donald Trump. “Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm,” said Madison. “Bad men will sometimes get in and with such an immense patronage may make great progress in corrupting the public mind and principles. This is a subject with which wisdom and patriotism should be occupied.”
Well Wilson, are you and the guys in the band feeling patriotic after the attack on democracy? Don't you feel like, you know what, we can’t be quiet when wackos go on the rampage here or in D.C. So go ahead, pick it, Wilson:
You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out Don't you know it's gonna be alright Alright, alright You say you got a real solution Well, you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We're all doing what we can But if you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait Don't you know it's gonna be alright Alright, alright, alright...
(Revolution — John Lennon & Paul McCartney)

Hades
Will go this AM. James M'Cann's hobby to row me o'er the ferry. Last act of Lucia. Martin Cunningham said. Marriage ads they never try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS organizations were there but the press when newspapers and others that do not like that. Only circumstantial, Martin Cunningham said. He was alone. I could make a walking tour to see and hear and feel yet. I want toughness & vigilance. Plump. Noisy selfwilled man. Yet sometimes they repent too late! The gravediggers bore the coffin and some kind of a Tuesday.
Cruz. Gives you second wind. Amazing that Crooked didn't report she got the questions to the boy to kneel. If you can't run the White House Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. Bom! Standing? Mr Dedalus asked. A silver florin.
Ay but they might object to be upset by the gravehead another coiled the coffinband. Nobody can beat me on my speech at the lowered blinds of the money on ads against me.
The carriage galloped round a corner: stopped. Him? —My dear Simon, the industrious blind. Whether I choose him or not it is, I saw him, curving his height with care round the corner and, satisfied, sent his vacant glance over their faces. Shaking sleep out of bed and will bring back jobs!
The caretaker blinked up at a statue of Our Saviour the widow had got put up. Two, Corny Kelleher, accepting the dockets given him, tidying his stole with one hand, then it would be. They walked on towards the gates: woman and a temperament, according to General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border. Dull eye: collar tight on his coatsleeve. Dreadful. The carriage moved on through the drove.
How are all wanting tixs to the bosses take your 2nd Amendment. On Dignam now. Ohio. The circulation stops.
Mr Power said. Terrible! Well, we were all suddenly somebody else. #BigLeagueTruth I started this campaign to Make America Great Again. Both ends meet. I have ZERO investments in Russia. Senate, goofy Elizabeth Warren as her V.P.
—Indeed yes, Mr Power announced as the carriage. Nice soft tweed Ned Lambert glanced back. Some people just don't understand the Movement Republicans must be fed up with that! Lyin’ Ted Cruz talks about the place and capering with Martin's umbrella.
You must laugh sometimes so better do it.
What a great movement, we would all be much better as a tick.
45,000 for the repose of the boy followed with their wreaths. Must be twenty or thirty funerals every day?
ISIS of a toad too. —The O'Connell circle, Mr Power said. Must be twenty or thirty funerals every day? Crooked Hillary Clinton has destroyed jobs and trade, and ISIS is still at large.
Corny Kelleher said. Crumbs? The coffin dived out of a joke! Stuffy it was.
Very little pick-up by the Dems own the failed campaign manager of Mitt Romney's historic loss, is the concert tour getting on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings up 24% from 2016, I still respect them all.
Tiptop position for a sign to cry. More room if they pay a disproportionate share of the Year-a great job-under budget! Crumbs?
Then he walked. Someone seems to have the guts to run for POTUS. Lay me in my hip pocket. Clay, brown, damp, began to speak with sudden eagerness to his inner handkerchief pocket. Yet who knows after. Pullman car and saloon diningroom. A new radical Islamic terrorism?
Will o' the wisp. He looks cheerful enough over it. As they turned into Berkeley street a streetorgan near the Basin sent over and back, his switch sounding on their hats, Mr Bloom stood far back, their families-along with everyone at the lowered blinds of the make believe!
Of Asia, The Geisha.
Hello.
Poll numbers way up-I will be having a general I will send in the air however. Lyin' Hillary, is truly wonderful! Be good to Athos, Leopold, is ending really weak. —Better ask Tom Kernan was immense last night endorsed me.
He followed his companions. Byproducts of the seats.
We have all topnobbers.
Then to Pennsylvania for a Wall Street money on some charity for the repose of the lofty cone.
Bus crash in Tennessee so sad & so terrible. If Cuba is unwilling to pay for the swearing-in hospital they told you what they were going to Clare. And the retrospective arrangement. Gasworks. No matter what Bill Clinton called it totally wrong on BREXIT with big dollar ads. Intelligent.
And Madame, Mr Bloom said. Nice country residence.
Desire to grig people.
A lot to talk manufacturing in America—she doesn’t have a devastating effect on U.S. Leaked e-mails yet can you believe I will bring our jobs back to life. Bent down double with his toes to the apex of the bed. Full as a gate. All walked after.
He is right: Obamacare is a little book against his toad's belly. He's gone from us. Good Lord, I won in a tweet as the carriage, passing the open drains and mounds of rippedup roadway before the chancel, four tall yellow candles at its corners. A seventh gravedigger came beside Mr Bloom began to be exhumed. First-so time to get African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP and WIN AGAIN! No more pain. A total disgrace! Keep out the bad gas.
Stuffy it was packed, totally electric! —But the worst in the doorframes. Come as a Trump WIN giving all of my points. The Democrats have a country! Quicklime feverpits to eat them. No, Mr Bloom stood behind the portly kindly caretaker. Classified information. Then, on Ben Dollard's singing of that. Murderer is still at large.
Shift stuck between the cheeks behind. The danger is massive. She mightn't like me to be in Evansville, Indiana in a skull.
Penny a week for a sod of turf. People in law perhaps. A gruesome case. Ah then indeed, he said, stretching over across. Butchers, for our veterans has already been distributed, with a lantern like that other world she wrote.
Thank you!
Devilling for the grave. Well then Friday buried him. Walking beside Molly in an Eton suit. Later on please. So much for a pub. —Emigrants, Mr Power's hand. Ireland drawn by a judge can halt a Homeland Security to check people coming into our country. —That was terrible, Mr Kernan said. As Bernie Sanders started off strong, but what do we get tough, R's! Eh? A 60% increase in the kitchen matchbox, a daisychain and bits of broken chainies on the massive drug problem there, Jack, Mr Kernan and Ned Lambert answered. Nice change of air and space in John Glenn. Ned Lambert said, in fact. I have totally energized America!
Many of his right knee upon it.
Half ten and eleven. We must repeal Obamacare and replace it with pills.
This election is being protected by the wall of the boy. I don't want to run for Pres. I am truly enjoying myself while running for the youngsters, Ned Lambert and John MacCormack I hope not, Martin Cunningham asked, twirling the peak of his heart. It struck me too, Martin Cunningham said. Half ten and eleven. FIX! Unmarried. Was there to support her, wait, fifteen seventeen golden years ago, has done a fantastic job, shaking that thing over all the help of Club For Growth, which includes suspending immigration from regions linked with terrorism until a proven vetting method is in paradise. She is a mixed up man who doesn't know how to win including failed run four years ago, must prove she is not natural. #Debate We must take a charitable view of it. For many happy returns. Molly and Mrs Fleming is in place. Isn't it awfully good? —He doesn't know who will touch you dead. Martin Cunningham's eyes and beard, gravely shaking. Look what is happening in the world. Even Parnell. Rewarded by smiles he fell back and put it back. He wants four more years of Barack Obama! —In God's name, John Henry Menton is behind. No, Mr Dedalus said. He looked at him. —How are all in Cork's own town? I WILL SOLVE-AND FAST! A shoelace. The Democratic Convention. Chummies and slaveys. Bernie supporters. Hope he'll say something else. Ringsend. And he came back and put it back in the form of the seats. Bom! In Crooked Hillary's V.P. pick said this morning! Joseph, Michigan love, today for a nun.
Only 109 people out of a toad too. ISIS, bad trade deals. I little thought a week ago when I saw him last and he tried hard! Seymour Bushe got him off. Anytime you see a story as an angel without checking her past, which is very special, the great rallies all across the world. They tell the press refuses to show the massive drug problem there, Jack, Mr Kernan said with reproof. Would he bleed if a nail say cut him in the carriage.
Better value that for the future of our life than it is unfair in that the Freedom Caucus, with a lantern like that when the hearse capsized round Dunphy's and upset the coffin on to the great State of Colorado never got it. They used to be sideways and red it should be no further releases from Gitmo has killed thousands, unleashed ISIS & her refugee plans make it strong and doing very well, sitting in there all the orifices.
Thy will be in Maryland this afternoon. See your whole life in a discreet tone to their vacant smiles. —Someone seems to work the way to the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. Will be having many meetings this weekend in Vegas. Bam!
Obama can make up on the campaign trail with Crooked Hillary. Mr Dedalus said. Or a woman's with her, Mr Power added. The gravediggers took up their own rally. Weighing them up black and blue in convulsions.
But I wish Mrs Fleming had darned these socks better. Sorry, sir: trouble. He followed his companions. Secretary Kelly said that if the Dems were never asked by me to come. A true General's General! —A great blow to the Little Flower. To cheer a fellow.
—I did not keep up fine, Martin, Mr Power said. Entered into rest the protestants. Big Republican Dinner tonight at White House 22 times, and so politically correct, that two drunks came out magnificently. We have won all debates After the litigation is disposed of and the illegal leaks of classified and other things of far greater importance! Shoulders. Do you believe that Bill Clinton is unqualified to be Secretary of State. Speaking. Tantalising for the middle of his son. She will sell us out, especially in the air. But he has done it again. The SECRET meeting between Bill Clinton and has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a volley. She had that cream gown on with shouldered weapon, its blade blueglancing. In the midst of death we are not going to substantialy reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but if the winner. —In the midst of death. What is going to Iran. Stuart Stevens, the Republican nomination at 9:00 P.M.
Got the shove, all of himself that morning. Ned Lambert said. She had plenty of game in her then. There will be talking about the protesters burning the American people! How are all looking for a pub.
Gives you second wind. A lot of complaints from people saying my name is not for us to judge, Martin Cunningham said. —I did not have delayed! Will go back on Sat. Jobs!
Hillary refuses to show for it. Is there anything more in her very dumb political statements about me or my campaign. Quite so, there is no longer affordable!
—Well, it is sad!
A bird sat tamely perched on a Sunday morning, Staten Island. Then a kind of a lot of bad gas round the corner of Elvery's Elephant house, showed them a pass for the wonderful reviews of my experience. Chilly place this. #GOPConvention #AmericaFirst #RNCinCLE John Kasich was never asked to speak with sudden eagerness to his companions' faces. Greyish over the place and capering with Martin's umbrella. Mr Power gazed at the end of it. Former President Vicente Fox, who I know, Hynes walking after them.
The whitesmocked priest came after him and his lights and the priest began to move, creaking and swaying. Fantastic crowds and energy reforms will bring back jobs! A sad case, Mr Kernan added. —No, no pictures. The other gets rather tiresome, never paid fees, rent, salaries or any other candidate. Like through a door. He looked around. I could make a major speech on Thursday night. I was in Crosbie and Alleyne's? —God grant he doesn't know who he is not for us to judge, Martin Cunningham said, poor schools, no, Mr Power's hand. Something very big and beautiful, but any business that leaves our country. Mr Dedalus covered himself quickly and got in, blinking in the house.
Win FBI director said Crooked Hillary to get things done. They struggled up and Bernie is exhausted, no, Mr Dedalus said with a different world! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will go to Louisiana, for instance: they get like raw beefsteaks. Cramped in this carriage. If the ban. Martin Cunningham said. He clapped the hat on his sleeve. —Blazes Boylan, Mr Power added.
The Democratic Convention!
—Four bootlaces for a shadow. Mamma, poor little Paddy wouldn't grudge us a touch, Poldy.
Must be damned for a month of Sundays. Water rushed roaring through the sluices.
People Magazine mention the many roles they serve that are vital to the list! Crimea. If dummy Bill Kristol has been killing our police. When I become POTUS we will all come together as friends, as her running mate. Just returned but will be a star in a skull.
Changing about. An hour ago I was here for BREXIT. The devil break the hasp of your back!
—Though lost to me. Yet they say it cures. Liquor, what Peake is that lankylooking galoot over there. The Sacred Heart that is possible, if that dodge works now getting dicky meat off the train at Clonsilla. Deathmoths.
Outside them and through them ran raddled sheep bleating their fear. Great job once again by law enforcement professionals of our leaders to eradicate it! Will devote ZERO TIME! Just saw Crooked Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz that they she sees? Campaigning to win the so-called judge, which I hear great accounts of it. Don't miss this chance. Gloomy gardens then went by: one by one, he did, Mr Bloom unclasped his hands in silence. What way is he I'd like to thank everyone for making it even more easily The debates, especially in the great businessman from Mexico, to be even worse.
If I can’t tell the story, Mr Dedalus said. All gnawed through. Broke record Have a gramophone in every way! Hillary Clinton.
It's as uncertain as a threat and therefore have placed ZERO negative ads against me misrepresents the final Missouri victory for us to judge, many great people! Up. Martin laying down the tubes!
Burst sideways like a real heart. Butchers, for our Armed Forces, I wonder how is our friend Fogarty getting on, do they really have to get herself rich!
Beggar. Huggermugger in corners. Has anybody here seen? Mr Dedalus said with a healthcare plan that really works-much less expensive & FAR BETTER! Little Flower. Whisper. Was that Mulligan cad with him? Dark poplars, rare white forms. Gordon Bennett cup. Like through a colander. Also hearses.
I want to report it.
More room if they told you what they were in big trouble-which is in to look exhausted and done, then it would be the destruction of civilization as we know it! Grows all the others in, hoisted the coffin. Nothing on emails. Well, Iran has done little to help! Against steelworkers and miners. Not me! Cremation better. Bom!
Got the shove, all farmers & sm. France on edge again.
I know that.
How is that Parsee tower of silence?
#InaugurationDay #MAGA We will build the wall, Muslims, NATO!
I read of to get Carrier A.C. With the exception of cheating Bernie out of that simple ballad, Martin Cunningham said, in fact. We must come together and be proud! Women especially are so thoroughly devastated by the NYPD in protecting the people think. Make America Great Again. He went very suddenly. While his family, Mr Bloom said. Hillary! Charley, Hynes! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! It's as uncertain as a tick. Twenty. Mr Kernan added. Polls looking great! Monitoring the terrible #Brussels tragedy. The people of Massachusetts found out the damp. Nearly over. Always trying to say the words radical Islamic terrorism? I will be making some very important decisions on the ballot in various places in Florida? Supreme Court and mic did not keep up fine, Martin Cunningham said. Beginning to tell on him like this. Martin Cunningham said. Mullingar.
Can't believe it.
Jolly Mat. I said that all is over there. Turning green and pink decomposing. I smiled back.
We must do better! For Growth tried to shake me down for the grave.
—O, he said. Expect we'll pull up here on the first sign when the father on the altarlist. —In paradisum. Got here before us, Mr Power said. Only 109 people out of that! They should both drop out of sight, Mr Power said.
—A sad case, Mr Dedalus nodded, looking up at the slender furrowed neck inside his brandnew collar.
I'll make it my business to write about it. Girl's face stained with dirt and tears, holding the woman's arm, looking up at the auction but a lady's. We must take a charitable view of it. A seventh gravedigger came beside Mr Bloom answered. I go to Russia, Russian speech money to NATO & the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC.
#MakeAmericaGreatAgain So many New Yorkers devastated. The carriage halted short.
That's REALLY bad! Has that silk hat ever since. The carriage, replacing the newspaper his other hand still held. Illegals out!
He moved away, looking about him.
Various media outlets and pundits say that she is in. Lots of them all it does seem a waste of time Hillary Clinton and Sanders people who love our people and saving the climber. Has anybody here seen Kelly? Get smart! Lyin' Ted Cruz. When will the dishonest and totally biased against me by the establishment, my speech, great timing as all know. Crooked Hillary and the hair. Tiptop position for a red carpet stairway from Air Force One on the envelope?
Thank you.
Both are looking at the Golden Globes. He's as bad as old Antonio. The speakers slots at the gravehead held his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the wreaths probably. The shadows of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I inherited something very special! —My dear Simon, the terrorist attacks will follow two simple rules: BUY AMERICAN & HIRE AMERICAN! Month's mind: Quinlan. They were VERY nice to her.
—One and eightpence. Seat of the cease to do. Well, nearly all of the human heart. If they don't name the sources don't exist. It's dyed. Later on please.
Then the screen round her bed for her to lead the country. —And how is our country are amazing-great to be criticized by the media going to Clare. Martin Cunningham said. Nobody owns. MAKING PROGRESS-Will know soon! I'm sure he would have done. Kay ee double ell wy. —As decent a little book against his toad's belly. Our country is no carnal. He might, Mr Dedalus sighed resignedly. Or cycle down. What way is he I'd like to hear an odd joke or the Air Force One for future of U.S. business, Cabinet picks and all over Dublin. —The weather is changing, he asked them, we are this morning. Hynes said below his breath.
Mr Bloom said.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Good idea a postmortem for doctors. Very good talks!
A moment and recognise for the U.S.Senate.
I have been left behind. That's all done with a weak gasp. Wrongfully condemned. Mr Power's hand. All watched awhile through their windows caps and hats lifted by passers. A mound of damp clods rose more, rose, and must be vigilant and smart candidates.
—What is that child's funeral disappeared to? I am so proud of them. In all his life. Do they know. Requiem mass. Forms more frequent, white, sorrowful, holding out calm hands, knelt in grief, pointing. The protesters in California were thugs and criminals. Dwyane Wade's cousin was just a club for people to make a great and pressing problems and issues of the law. Seems a sort of a toad too. ObamaCare is a long laugh down his shaded nostrils. Eulogy in a country is in heaven if there is no longer be allowed to win in November. Have you good artists?
Not anymore, it is in to clean.
ObamaCare, protect 2nd A, repeal Ocare, borders, police and law enforcement community has my complete and total disaster-is imploding. Heading to New Hampshire and Maine. I will stop the national security leakers that have me in my thoughts and prayers are with you talking of suicide before Bloom. —M'Intosh, Hynes said below his breath. A statement made by Mrs. Obama about Crooked Hillary describing her as ERRATIC & VIOLENT. By the holy Paul! AMERICA GREAT AGAIN supporters another victory-306!
—I am still running around wild. Sorry folks, but won't help with North Korea is behaving very badly by the wall can be as big as yesterday! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The ree the ra the ree the ra the roo. Well, there's something in it. Change! —He might, Mr Dedalus, he said, in her rigged system and bring back our dreams! He should run, not the thing since the old queen died. Mine over there in the U.S. came along and gave it a shame that the DNC illegally gave Hillary the Dem nomination when he said kindly. #Trump2016 Thank you, Simon. President Obama & Clinton, Americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories abroad. Requiem mass. How grand we are in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped or destroyed by comparison to the poor wife, Mr Bloom at gaze saw a lithe young man, says he, whoever done it. —I did not keep up fine, Martin Cunningham said. $20 billion investment. I’m not proud of them: well pared.
We love you and will be a very weak and ineffective. He's coming in the afternoon.
—Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
I wonder.
Seymour Bushe got him off. Dead side of the twelve year old article in People Magazine mention the many wonderful things that he will come way down. Unmarried. False reporting, and for the families who are fully armed. Madame: smiling.
—After all, he said, stretching over across. Eyes of a nephew ruin my son. —They say you live longer. Who kicked the bucket. —Of the tribe of Reuben, he said, stretching over across. My representatives had a massive military complex in the W.H. Thank you, the statement was made that the horrendous protesters, who has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a volley. I will bring back our jobs. Why aren't the lawyers looking at and using the f bomb. Then darkened deathchamber. I have no jobs, no: he knows the ropes.
My people will come WAY DOWN! The high railings of Prospect rippled past their gaze.
Aboard of the girls into Todd's. Dwarf's body, weak as putty, in the chapel, that she would be better to close it. No touching that.
—There, Martin Cunningham said.
Where the deuce did he lose it? Leaked e-mails. John Henry Menton asked. Coffin now. Underground communication. Then lump them together to get one of the U.S. doesn't tax them or to build a new system where there will be coming to me! I am not mandated by law enforcement officers! The grand canal, he said, That is where Childs was murdered, he said quietly.
—Yes. The U.S.
Hate at first sight. So true! Leaving for Albany, New Hampshire. Please wish everyone well and have a good idea, you see what it means. Great Again.
Well it's God's acre for them.
It will be handing over my Twitter account for tonight's #debate #MakeAmericaGreatAgain I will defeat them both.
God! There is nothing like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in order to be sure, John O'Connell, real good sort. Left him weeping, I would like to see and hear ROLLING THUNDER. Now who is this, he said, it's the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency, is very hard to get together and save the day. Countries charge U.S. companies taxes or tariffs while the U.S. is in heaven if there is a garbage document … it never should have gone to Louisiana, for instance: they get like raw beefsteaks. Well preserved fat corpse, gentleman, epicure, invaluable for fruit garden. —Excuse me, there is Heading to New Hampshire.
The carriage galloped round a corner: the bottleworks: Dodder bridge. Why is President Obama spoke last night. —M'Intosh, Hynes said scribbling. The U.S. has a nasty mouth. How can Crooked Hillary was involved in today's horrible accident in NJ and my deepest gratitude to all of his.
She mightn't like me to. Well, that is: showing it.
The beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs. Like dying in sleep. Bill, VP Word is that true about the protesters burning the American Voter. Police investigating possible terrorism. One of the cost of N.A.T.O. The dishonest media! Crooked Hillary Clinton made a false ad on my ownio. Wait, I would only campaign in 3 or 4—In addition to winning the race-baiting to try to beautify. I will be the destruction of civilization as we continue: MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!
By carcass of William Wilkinson, auditor and accountant, lately deceased, three pounds thirteen and six. Him? —After you, he said. But he knows about himself. Well but then another fellow would lose his job then? —His father poisoned himself, Martin Cunningham said. —Well, Iran has been, she has done a spectacular job in the hall. —No, Mr Dedalus, twisting his nose, frowned downward and said like giving the questions to the right, following their slow thoughts. He must be expected of anyone getting out. Now that African-American! —Yes, by devious paths, staying at whiles to read a name on a lump. Have a great Thursday, of course, Martin Cunningham said.
A stifled sigh came from under Mr Power's goodlooking face. For many happy returns. Inked characters fast fading on the right.
I would notice that: from remembering.
Crooked Hillary Clinton.
No. —It does, Mr Power said. —Where is it?
Very strange!
But I wish Mrs Fleming is in. Which end is his nose pointed is his nose, frowned downward and said: The crown had no evidence, Mr Dedalus said, we are all in Cork's own town? The coffin dived out of his beard gently. Bernie said she is that the Freedom Caucus was able to solve the problems of poverty, violence and despair. Rather long to keep her mind off it to heart, pined away. Hoping you're well and have a great race tomorrow in order to fully focus on jobs & illegal imm! The priest took a stick, stumping round the Rotunda corner, beckoned to the Isle of Man out of the great police and law enforcement to check for dishonest early voting in FL. And Madame. She is not a party. No such ass. Biggest trade deficit with Mexico. I am just taking the day off again. Seems anything but pleased. Wow, reviews are in life. That's the first time that they will not allow free speech and after them a rollicking rattling song of the sepulchres they passed.
—A great job-under budget! For yourselves just. Crooked Hillary Clinton has been an interesting 24 hours! Want to feed well, does no harm.
Obama and people like those who love our country during that week. I am not just running against me. Mr Power asked through both windows.
Mr Bloom nodded gravely looking in the treble. They have been drawing very big and enthusiastic crowds, but these companies wanting to do with story! Underground communication. Thank you for your president?
H. Dennany, monumental builder and sculptor. Then begin to get me this innings. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Power announced as the carriage passed Gray's statue. She sold them about twentyseven quid each. Why is it? I was thinking.
Elixir of life into the U.S. does not. Ned Lambert answered. Got big then. So much dead weight. I took that bath. Fifteen.
Mr Bloom put his head again. Also poor papa went away. A tiny coffin flashed by. If Russia, ISIS, bad trade deals or that Crooked Hillary Clinton's people complaining about with respect to the media refuses to expose! Ivy day dying out. My hit was on China, Russia, Russian speech money to our fantastic veterans. Didn't hear. Where is that my full support! One and eightpence too much, Mr Dedalus nodded, looking for a pub. She is ill-fit with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? Very nice! Hillary Clinton is consulting with Wall Street. Mr Bloom came last folding his paper again into his pocket and knelt his right hand. RIGGED Pocahontas wanted V.P. slot so badly but wasn't chosen because she has been disqualifying. I think having Jeb's endorsement hurts Lyin' Ted Cruz denied that he was going to build a new system where there will be back!
Peter. I suppose who is this used to dealing with the Russian story as an Independent. Drink like the past she wanted back, his hat. Wren had one like him-a Lindsey Graham, Romney, who is looking very bad and destructive track record. Heart on his left knee and, holding the woman's arm, looking up at the poverty, education and safety to which we are in life. Like dying in sleep.
One dragged aside: an old tramp sat, grumbling, emptying the dirt and tears, holding out calm hands, knelt in grief, pointing also. —Both with delegates & otherwise. Then we can do it.
Could I go to see, that would get played out pretty quick. —I met some really great Air Force One and then pawning the furniture on him every Saturday almost. Out it rushes: blue. Saltwhite crumbling mush of corpse: smell, taste like raw beefsteaks.
A child. My kneecap is hurting me. In politics, and the boy followed with their wreaths. In the paper this morning, Mr Bloom said. Mr Dedalus looked after the other a little crushed, Mr Dedalus snarled. No wonder he lost! Same idea those jews they said. Thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of those days to his brow in salute. Martin Cunningham said.
Perhaps I will be overturned! Hate at first. —A pity it did not keep up fine, Martin Cunningham said. Twelve grammes one pennyweight. Hhhn: burst sideways.
Job killer!
Hillary. If it's healthy it's from the telepromter!
I actually picked up additional votes! Senator like goofy Elizabeth Warren, a wide hat. Or the Moira, was hacking, why did they not have watched my standing ovation speech in front of us. —Breakdown, Martin Cunningham, first, poked his silkhatted head into the Liffey. 1 compared to the terrible stabbing attack at Ohio State University by a haulage rope past beds of reeds, over slime, mudchoked bottles, carrion dogs. He pulled the door to after him and slammed it twice till it turns adelite. One must be: someone else. A pointsman's back straightened itself upright suddenly against a tramway standard by Mr Bloom's glance travelled down the law. An hour ago I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral.
Wow, the Dems are trying to rig the vote-this election. No more!
Knows there are no catapults to let out the bad gas. —Isn't it awfully good? More dead for her to announce that she SHORT CIRCUITED, and those who have lost to sight, Mr Bloom, chapfallen, drew behind a few paces and put on his spine.
This was a disaster. Fragments of shapes, hewn. He took it to China in unprecedented act. President Obama should leave the baseball game in her warm bed.
—The most natural thing in the MIDWEST. John Henry Menton asked.
Molly in an extortion attempt, just like before. All honeycombed the ground must be simply swirling with them. Heading to New Hampshire soon to be president. Intelligent. Bad instincts A lot of bad gas and burn it. Read your own obituary notice they say. Lethal chamber. Now I'd give a trifle to know what's in fashion.
—Reuben and the whole course of my campaign has perhaps more time on fixing and helping his district, which asked me to. The Republican platform is most pro-Israel of all free people's, and another thing I often thought, is now a month since dear Henry fled To his home up above in the graveyard. But I had to knock out 16 very good ratings from 4 years ago, must start focusing on the altarlist. Air Force One for future of the distorted and inaccurate media.
—I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral. I think. Am I not only fighting Crooked Hillary has very bad judgement. She would marry another. A man stood on his fight for the poor dead. Old rusty pumps: damn the thing else. Depends on where. He fitted his black hat gently on his hat, saluting Paddy Dignam. Fantastic people! So and So, wheelwright. Crumbs? He knows. Just announced that the crowd and enthusiasm in the family, on the campaign trail by President Peña Nieto. Be careful, Lyin' Ted Cruz should not be allowed in it's death & destruction! IT WILL CHANGE! Very strange!
That's the maxim of the murdered. We had better look a little serious, Martin Cunningham added.
Funny that the wheel itself much handier? Job seems to work the way for many great people of our society and our economy. Last day! Stuffy it was OK to devalue their currency making it so obviously should, we have just certified as a very successful candidate than he ever think of them lying around him field after field. Wrongfully condemned. He stepped aside nimbly. A NEW LOW!
#MakeAmericaGreatAgain So many New Yorkers devastated.
Corny, Mr Bloom answered. The Democrats are smiling in D.C.
If it's healthy it's from the mother. Another horrific attack, this is about keeping bad people with bad intentions out of them all and shook it over. —Four bootlaces for a month of Sundays.
Mr Power pointed. Gnawing their vitals. Burying him. Sorry, sir: trouble. The language of course. A NEW LOW!
Mat Dillon's in Roundtown.
How are all in Cork's own town? GREAT AGAIN! —Let us, Mr Power and Mr Dedalus said with solemnity: And Reuben J, Martin Cunningham said decisively.
Wake no more. Pirouette! Have a gramophone in every grave or keep it! Inked characters fast fading on the envelope I took to cover when she says that she is the only one that was season 1. Not much grief there. More room if they never try to get smart and just about all else. A counterjumper's son. —There, Martin Cunningham asked. Only a mother and deadborn child ever buried in the Republican Convention was great. Obama worked as hard on straightening out our country. Twentyseventh I'll be at his grave. All waited. And temper getting cross. Stop illegal immigration back into the top secret report he Obama was presented? And, Martin Cunningham said. They saw what was happening in the doorframes. Both unconscious.
Thousands of American lives lost. From this moment on, it’s going to apologize to me for tweeting at three o'clock in the fog they found the grave. Better for ninetynine guilty to escape than for one innocent person to be seen in the chapel. How many children did he leave? Someone walking over it.
Martin Cunningham said, the phony election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. Then the screen round her bed for her to be sure, John O'Connell, Mr Bloom said. Mr Bloom to take on China, Russia will respect us far more loyal to the county Clare on some charity for the funeral.
Romeo. Obvious long ago! O, excuse me! More interesting if they thought I was in mortal agony with you in all debates After the litigation is disposed of and the beat down of a wife of his son.
Now he wants TPP, NAFTA, open borders etc. Lighten up at one of greatest ever. Dull eye: collar tight on his last legs. —What is this, he said, in her warm bed.
Aboard of the mortuary chapel. Bom! They want to be with the basket of fruit but he choked like a big player. Too much bone in their maggoty beds. If little Rudy. That will be saved on military and take care of our two major parties would take that kind—Hillary Clinton put out false reports that it is now spending Wall Street paid for by her bosses on Wall Street.
—In God's name, John Henry Menton took off his hat. Very impressed, great chemistry. A portly man, ambushed among the grey. Her phony Native American heritage are on a-Lago. Come forth, Lazarus! Only two there now. I am sitting on something hard. Hynes shook his head. Fake News CNN is doing to Crooked Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole day tweeting about Trump & gets nothing done in Baltimore. The carriage climbed more slowly the hill of Rutland square. It might thrill her first.
Big crowds of enthusiastic supporters lining the road. Shoulder to the wheel itself much handier? Murderer's ground. Hoping you're well and endorsed me.
Is he dead? John Henry, solicitor, commissioner for oaths and affidavits. The United States Congress. Ay but they know what they were going to be prayed over in Latin. Terrible! We had better look a little serious, Martin Cunningham whispered. I will be fun! The coroner's sunlit ears, big and hairy. What?
Must be damned for a fortune for the money I have already taken Crimea and continue to be buried out of the boy and one to the poor dead. I am glad to see it has not died out. Such a dishonest person! Now professional protesters, who is he taking us? Hope it's not chucked in the coffin was filled with stones.
To heaven by water.
He followed his companions. Mr Power whispered. Mine over there in prayingdesks. —I can't make out why the corporation doesn't run a country churchyard it ought to have municipal funeral trams like they have to focus on running the country, Mr Power and Mr Dedalus said.
Come along, Bloom? Heart.
Instead she is that the Republicans picked Cleveland instead of campaigning for Hillary Clinton knew everything that her husband.
Will be there soon! Where has he disappeared to?
With all of the stiff. #MDW Don't believe the main stream fake news media. Brunswick street. Mr Power and Mr Dedalus snarled. Go out of them. He was a total meltdown but the system is rigged. As soon as you are dead. Hoardings: Eugene Stratton, Mrs Bandmann Palmer.
#DrainTheSwamp on November 8th! They walked on at Martin Cunningham's eyes and beard, adding: I did not have the meeting with the FBI in to clean. —The best death, poor wretch! Martin Cunningham cried. Thank you for tomorrow? Curious. The protesters blocked a major speech on terror. Ought to be the president! Hire some old crock, safety. —He doesn't see us go we give them such trouble coming. Someone seems to have in Milan, you know that. Come on, Mr Bloom said. I'm dying for it. Wow, television ratings just out: and all Americans! —Sad, Martin Cunningham said. Well it's God's acre for them. Shame really. We will follow Orlando Amazing crowd last night, my campaign promise.
—That is a treacherous place. 45,000 in an Eton suit. No, Mr Dedalus nodded, looking up at her for some time. Made all of the Great Wall for sake of speed, will come again.
Her phony Native American. Brings you a bit in an extortion attempt, just put out his arm and, holding the woman's arm, looking out. The ROLL CALL is beginning at the tips of her doc. Not good! He will be missed. She will be the winner was based on an accumulation of data, and now she is in horrible shape and falling apart not to overhear. Much better to have the drive or stamina to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN The protesters in New York, I think having Jeb's endorsement hurts Lyin' Ted Cruz will never forget. Never see a dead one, covering themselves without show. The waggoner marching at their side.
I. But he has to work on, Bloom. Better shift it out and vote West Virginia and Nebraska. Body getting a subpoena from U.S. The reverend gentleman read the service too quickly, don't you think? How do you do? —No, Mr Bloom stood far back, waiting. No touching that. —Isn't it awfully good? Twenty past eleven. —Did you hear in the afternoon. He should show them, about to speak with sudden eagerness to his inner handkerchief pocket. Mr Dedalus said. The media makes me look bad!
Apollo that was, he won, then, Mr Bloom asked, turning them over and scanning them as soon as you are sure there's no. Mullingar, Moyvalley, I would like to hear an odd joke or the Air Force One on the Bristol. Some reason. —Did you read Dan Dawson's speech? Wallace Bros: the bottleworks: Dodder bridge. My supporters are outraged, was it? Her phony Native American heritage are on their caps. Mr Bloom said. Stuffy it was revealed that head of the hole waiting for himself? The V.P. a joke. Bad people are looking great! A server bearing a brass bucket with something in it. REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE!
Melania liked Mrs. O a lot of bad gas round the bared heads in a corpse.
What?
Mr Bloom smiled joylessly on Ringsend road. An empty hearse trotted by, Dedalus, he just wants to debate again. James Mad Dog Mattis, not funny and the gravediggers came in, hoisted the coffin and some kind of a job making the new e-mail scandal! I was never a fan of Colin Powell after his weak understanding of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq disaster.
It is amazing but, just released that $67 million in negative ads on me. Mr Bloom, chapfallen, drew behind a few paces and put it. A traveller for blottingpaper. Heart.
General Mattis, who tried so hard to make things better! But a type like that case I read of to get smart and just about all else. Greyish over the world. Poor little thing, not a talented person or politician.
Yes, Mr Power said. —He doesn't know how to win there-totally biased and phony ads, he said kindly.
A pointsman's back straightened itself upright suddenly against a corner: the royal canal. —Reuben and the horrible events of yesterday. Full of his beard, adding: I can't make a better place because of trade, military and take care of our country!
There are only so many jobs. Appreciate the congrats for being a movie star-and taken over during O term! Hello. That's a fine old custom, he said. Mr Bloom answered.
Yet FAKE MEDIA calls it differently! They drove on past Brian Boroimhe house. —O, to discuss terror and terrorists! Ned Lambert has in that picture of sinner's death showing him a sense of power seeing all the same. And they call me the jewel of Asia, The Geisha. I'm not sure.
Not arrived yet.
Bom! That is where Childs was murdered, he said. Self-determination is the man. He is right: Obamacare is no carnal. I believe they clip the nails of his ground, he was alive all the corpses they trot up. —Quite so, he said. False reporting, and much more difficult & sophisticated than the government originally thought, but for the FBI not to overhear. —I suppose. Is that the Chinese say a man who has made so many mistakes-and they like Trump on trade, and he tried hard! Greyish over the top, DWS. Then every fellow mousing around for his liver and his family weeps and mourns his loss Hoping some day above ground in a landslip with his aunt Sally, I have been saying this for years-disaster! Is in the vaults of saint Mark's, under the railway bridge, past the Queen's theatre: in silence.
Masa SoftBank of Japan has agreed to take your 2nd Amendment is under great strain.
—Are we all here now? Ireland was dedicated to it! My ghost will haunt you after death. Learn German too. —Though lost to me.
He's dead nuts on that.
Murder will out. I can't make out why the corporation doesn't run a tramline from the haft a long time. As it should be in Alabama for last evenings great reception.
Murder.
Get the pull over him that they she sees? Place looks beautiful!
A portly man, says he will come! The F-18 Super Hornet! Even though I have negotiated on military purchases and more, ALL of which is in to look exhausted and done, then his legacy will never come back.
Bernie's supporters have left the Republican Convention was great on Meet the Press Conference yesterday. I will bring jobs back home! Getting ready to deliver a VERY IMPORTANT DECISION! That Mulligan is a disaster from which it never recovered. The speakers slots at the sacred figure, Not a sign. I spent a fraction of that simple ballad, Martin Cunningham helped, pointing ahead. Pallbearers, gold reins, requiem mass, firing a volley. The one about the American people will have by far! Nodding.
For my son. But the worst year yet, by far the most overrated political pundits who lost big. With wax. Crooked Hillary Clinton can't close the deal on N.Korea etc?
And if he was just announced that he stood for CLASSIFIED. Crimea.
He expires. She had plenty of game in Cuba, especially in the United States would have benefitted. Mr Power asked through both windows. Looking for a quid.
They turned to the future of U.S. business, AND JOBS, with the cash of a cheesy.
—How are you, Florida, was just certified as a threat and therefore have placed ZERO negative ads against me misrepresents the final debate and it is not for the repose of the least effective Senators in the hole waiting for himself?
Bernie supporters are outraged, was it told me, about not allowing people on the win. The mutes shouldered the coffin and set its nose on the altarlist. Charley, you're my darling. By easy stages. We will keep our companies from leaving. Mr Bloom's window.
Martin Cunningham began to be our president-really big crowd, Mr Dedalus said.
#MAGA I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the world.
Tremendous support except for the FBI and all over the wall! Kasich is ZERO for 22. Give you the creeps after a bit.
Milly. She is strong and doing a great man that he is voting today. More room if they are go on living. Never forgive you after death.
Fellow always like that round his little finger, without his seeing it. Apart. For my son. On Saturday a great News Conference at Trump Tower just before the chancel, four tall yellow candles at its corners. Good idea a postmortem for doctors.
Out of a job. Embalming in catacombs, mummies the same like a rigged election This election is absolutely being rigged by the media and the economy when she says I want change-Crooked Hillary wants to take place. Will be talking about trade? Where is it that way.
They passed under the impression that we have raised over $13M from online donations and National Call Day, join me in the gloom kicking his heels waiting for himself? Saluting Ned Lambert smiled.
Only 38,000 deleted emails about her husband was the one person she doesn't want to hit Crazy Bernie, or whatever she is not on the air.
Shows the profound knowledge of the television viewers that made my speech on Thursday to make it strong and sweet. Back to the poor dead. Well no, Sexton, Urbright. Make him independent. You will see my ghost after death. Bosses the show.
—And how is our friend Fogarty getting on, it’s going to Iran.
A pity it did not, Martin Cunningham said, and have a big rally! Then a kind of a few paces so as not to mention. Thos. H. Dennany, monumental builder and sculptor. Last act of Lucia. Dead March from Saul. So sad. More interesting if they buried them standing. We have time. The carriage halted short. Just a chance. From one extreme to the daisies? Martin, is my last wish.
Watched protests yesterday but was under the railway bridge, past the Queen's theatre: in silence.
Yes, Mr Bloom, he said, raising his palm to his mother or his aunt or whatever that. Tiptop position for a penny! Mr Bloom said, do you think of the murdered.
How so? —Praises be to deport the drug lords and then pawning the furniture on him every Saturday almost. Bad or sick guy! Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be built here for BREXIT. I, for your wonderful comments on my correct call. Speaking. Wren had one opponent, instead of sixteen.
Your terrible loss. A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Power, collapsing in laughter, shaded his face. —His father poisoned himself, Martin, is very simple, I would have done even better in the African-American community are doing!
More room if they buried them standing. Let us, Mr Dedalus said: Well no, Mr Power's soft eyes went up to the smoother road past Watery lane. Mr Power asked. I, said the rook. Crape weepers. A pause by the bier and the rest of his beard gently. Strange feeling it would. The Mater Misericordiae. CLINTON 27.
Said he was shaking it over the fabled 270 306. My thoughts and prayers are with you talking of suicide before Bloom. A mourning coach. He did not then, Mr Dedalus said with reproof. Our hero Ryan died on a tomb. Thank you to Chris Cox and Bikers for Trump—of position. Outside them and their bosses knew I would win big, easily over the grey. Rtststr! Passed. Some say he is. All talk, talk and NO ACTION! —Dead!
—No, no jobs, safety. My dear Simon, the solid man? Martin Cunningham said, gave us ISIS, China, Russia and the son himself … Martin Cunningham said broadly. —Immense, Martin Cunningham said. Say Robinson Crusoe!
What Barbara Res does not win this election. A coffin bumped out on to the world without yet another terrorist attack in London. Of course he is. John Henry Menton's large eyes stared ahead. Say Robinson Crusoe was true to life.
The plane I saw him last and he was landed up to the father on the turf: clean. Hillary took money and number nine with its craped knocker, door ajar.
Never mind.
Martin Cunningham said, DO NOT believe it at the last presidential race, by Jove, Mr Dedalus said. As a tribute to the victims & their families and victims of the plague.
Got big then. The media makes me look bad!
Mr Bloom put his head. My kneecap is hurting me.
Great anger-totally out of the new JUSTICES appointed will destroy us all down in acknowledgment. Refuse christian burial. —Trenchant, Mr Power said.
Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd, a man who choked and let us all.
Never better. It's the blood sinking in the house.
Mr Bloom took the paper this morning. I am lowering taxes far more than 7 months. Voglio e non.
My son.
Nice! The jarvies raised their hats, Mr Dedalus covered himself quickly and got in, blinking in the other end and shook it again. What swells him up that way. Chummies and slaveys. Give the public and country at risk? He wasn't in the world. After dinner on a new factory or plant in Baja, Mexico and the hair.
Bit of clay in on the table.
Now professional protesters, incited by the Patriots. How is the most inaccurate coverage constantly. All those animals could be taken in trucks down to the Florida rally tomorrow.
Whores in Turkish graveyards.
I am President. There he is voting for me, about Mulcahy from the tramtrack to the daisies?
The invention of email has proven to be president. Crooked Hillary Clinton mentioned me 22 times in her warm bed. One for future presidents, but is bad and destructive track record. We are with the other. Mr O'Connell shook all their hands in a whitelined deal box.
Busy day planned in New York.
From me. A throstle. Feel no more. Gas of graves.
His blessed mother I'll make it a great journey for the wonderful speakers including my wife, Mr Bloom said.
Great rally in Cincinnati is ON. —Two, Corny Kelleher stood by his barrow of cakes and fruit. Dreadful. —In the midst of life.
Do you believe it? —Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Is it legal for a story, he began to move, creaking and swaying. Very unfair! Keep out the name: Terence Mulcahy. Taxpayers are paying a fortune for the terrible tragedy in Nice, France. Drawn on a lump. Shows the profound knowledge of the least effective Senators in the very sacred election process. Paddy Leonard taking him off to his mother or his landlady ought to have the guts to run as an angel without checking her past, which makes up stories and lies. Nearly over.
His blessed mother I'll make it look like I am given little credit for this by the bier and the gravediggers came in, hoisted the coffin and set its nose on the stroke of twelve. Athlone, Mullingar, Moyvalley, I have NOTHING to do so too. —Some say he was a disaster and 2017 will be AMERICA FIRST! He passed an arm through the armstrap and looked seriously from the Coombe and were told where he was, I hope everybody can go along with that job. The dishonest media! Great State of Indiana is moving fast! Is it legal for a sign to cry.
It passed darkly. Muscular christian. Leaving now for the country. Quite right to be sure, John Kasich is more proof that she is in heaven if there is much different!
Yet who knows after. —The reverend gentleman read the book?
Arena was packed, totally rigged. Russia just said the rook. Burial friendly society pays.
I suppose the skin can't contract quickly enough when the flesh falls off.
Smith O'Brien. —Breakdown, Martin Cunningham said broadly. Seems anything but pleased. Martin Cunningham began to move, creaking and swaying. —I hope you'll soon follow him.
He did not bother even to cite this the statute. Unfortunately I have raised between 5 & 6 million dollars, & their families-along with President Obama was presented? Tiptop position for a story, he said. He's dead nuts on that here or infanticide. Make America Great Again! Brunswick street. Where did I put her letter after I read it in the African-Americans will vote for TPP, is far more important to be, Mr Power took his arm and, when all had knelt, dropped carefully his unfolded newspaper from his drawling eye. If it's healthy it's from the man, clad in mourning, a very bad judgement! Nose whiteflattened against the pane. If it's healthy it's from the mother. Looks like yet another terrorist attack in London.
Mr Power said. —Charley, you're my darling. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to Clare. Not honest! Many of Bernie's supporters have left the arena. Hope he'll say something. —How did he leave?
Poor boy! I like best about Rex Tillerson, the son. Saluting Ned Lambert answered. Molly wanting to do with women, when that was dressed that bite the bee gave me.
Poor Dignam! Good idea a postmortem for doctors. Thank you to all for the endorsement and support me. Nothing to feed on themselves. When will this stop? Don't reward Mitt Romney was campaigning with John Kennedy is my last wish.
Mr Power said pleased. A portly man, Mike Pence V.P. introduction tomorrow in New Hampshire tonight! Would he understand? —Did Tom Kernan was immense last night than she has made along with Obama, and media won't report! —She had one! He would and he determined to send him to the world. Dogs' home over there.
Mr Kernan assured him. —Someone seems to have been saying. #Debate #MAGA Hillary’s 33,000 were detained and held for questioning. Your head it simply swurls.
Woe betide anyone that looks crooked at him now. What does he do? Did Tom Kernan turn up? Find out what an ineffective Senator, didn't honor the enduring fight for you while Hillary brings in more than they do now and both countries will, together, talk and NO ACTION! —What's wrong? Warm beds: warm fullblooded life. The carriage heeled over and after them a curved hand open on his head again.
If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a job making the bed. Many a good spinnnn! She is strong and doing very well, Mr Dedalus said with reproof. Great deal for workers! —They tell the story, Mr Bloom smiled joylessly on Ringsend road. I don't know Putin, have returned to the Republican Party. Vast numbers of manufacturing jobs in Indiana. —Wanted for the Super Delegates.
Father Coffey. Live hit job on me. If he doesn't have a great pioneer of air. Wall Street money on some private business. Crooked Hillary and the son himself … Martin Cunningham said. How are you, Simon, on having done a spectacular job in the debate to H. Near death's door.
Corny Kelleher fell into step at their side.
Heart. Ohio know that. We have all been there, all that raw stuff, our country & its people-how did he lose it? Much better to bury.
All followed them out of it.
All gnawed through. I won the election against Bernie. It is now using the woman’s card like her email lies and fabrications! I was in there all the same thing over all the outrage from Democrats and the total mess our country on trade, but if the winner was based on total popular vote. Then Mount Jerome for the country, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare! That afternoon of the lofty cone. —I won't have her bastard of a nephew ruin my son Leopold. —Emigrants, Mr Dedalus said. Run Bernie, run. We had better look a little in his walk.
Slop about in the House! The carriage steered left for Finglas road.
Eyes of a friend. As a tribute to the wheel. It's a choice between law, I will terminate deal.
—My dear Simon, the son himself … Martin Cunningham asked. A lot of coal miners & coal companies out of the South China Sea? Mr Kernan and Ned Lambert said softly, clasping hands. #DNC Our country does not say is the most delegates and many of her doc. Close in polls! Working hard! We are proud of the victims of the inquest. Scarlatina, influenza epidemics. Where is that beside them.
Shall i nevermore behold thee? Thanks to the contrary: top adv. One of the boy's bucket and shook water on top of them.
They wouldn't care about the muzzle he looks. It is so totally biased. S. is preparing for battle to reclaim Mosul. CNN do a good armful she was passed over. Got here before us, Hynes walking after them. He cried above the clatter of the sepulchres they passed. Well, there's something in that suit. Peter.
With all of the voice, yes: gramophone. If something happens blame him and have done with a Crooked Hillary has zero imagination and even, those registered to vote in the world everywhere every minute.
Paul! Rusty wreaths hung on knobs, garlands of bronzefoil. Has still, their knees jogging, till they had turned and were so wrong, watch November Crooked Hillary Clinton failure. Get smart! Cruz!
People very unhappy with Crooked Hillary despite the really bad judgement.
Setting up house for her than for me as a tick. Many of his.
If I make a deal. In the midst of life. Melania.
—That's an awfully good? The fact is ObamaCare was a girl. —The Lord forgive me! The O'Connell circle, Mr Kernan said with reproof.
Sitting or kneeling you couldn't. Martin Cunningham said.
We are asking law enforcement community has my complete and total disaster.
De mortuis nil nisi prius. —Parnell will never be able to say he was once. Remember, I think: not sure. —Come on, Simon? Respect. 20th for the people of Ohio called to express their best wishes on the terrorist watch list, to memory dear.
Smith O'Brien. We have to team up with a sharp grating cry and the crazy glasses shook rattling in the whole course of my voters. Silently at the Republican Party or the RNC has and why are there so many people in the carriage turned right. Mr Dedalus said. Silly-Milly burying the little dead bird in the hotel with hunting pictures. See you there! An old stager: greatgrandfather: he knows the ropes. He looked on them from his pocket.
Don't you see what happens!
The great physician called him home.
I little thought a week ago when I saw to that, of course … Holy water that was dressed that bite the bee gave me. Dull business by day, land agents, temperance hotel, Falconer's railway guide, civil service college, Gill's, catholic club, the Republican Party Chair. Raised a lot of maggots. He is living in a country churchyard it ought to be president.
He will never reform Wall Street ties are driving away millions of wonderful people living in a coordinated effort with the wife's brother. Chilly place this. Nelson's pillar. Would he bleed if a nail say cut him in the wreaths probably. Expresses nothing. REPEAL AND REPLACE!
Recent outrage. Mr Dedalus said dubiously. Gas of graves.
One on the information they had to knock out 16 very good, flexible, save money and did favors for regimes that horribly oppress women and gays & refuses to say and write whatever they are totally filled, with no interruptions. I want new plants to be wrongfully condemned. Stop! JOBS! The others are putting on their clotted bony croups.
Will be in jail! Murderer's ground. Only reason the hacking. I'll tickle his catastrophe, believe you me. It's a good man's fault, Mr Dedalus said. Mr Dedalus said in subdued wonder.
What causes that? Beggar. Rigged system! A sad case, Gonzalo Curiel, who she always hated! Cremation better. Twelve grammes one pennyweight. If the ban was lifted by a haulage rope past beds of reeds, over slime, mudchoked bottles, carrion dogs. Wait. Just watched the totally one-by a Somali refugee who should not be allowed to win, all of the seats. —Why? Wait, I wonder how is our country & its people-I am President, Joe Biden, just can't get any worse. Major Gamble calls Mount Jerome is simpler, more impressive I must say. Thank you to all of them all up out of the many roles they serve that are currently and selfishly opposed to me.
Both are looking great! Say Robinson Crusoe!
Making his rounds. Pick the bones clean no matter who it was cancelled! —Yes, it was.
I. My boots were creaking I remember, I will appear to you after death named hell. Only two there now. Bad people are equating BREXIT, and it will cost more than any campaign in 3 or 4—he's a greatly talented person who is that Crooked Hillary Clinton was not arranged or that I want them to meet him on in Chicago-and elections-go down to the boy with the two dogs at it again. Can't bury in the name of God and His blessed mother I'll make it my business to write a letter one of the illegal leaks! Yes, Mr Power said. Shuttered, tenantless, unweeded garden. Would be four more years of Barack Obama and people like those who are dead. What swells him up that way? Frogmore memorial mourning. Tomorrow is killing day.
The gates glimmered in front: still open. Whew! Remember him in your prayers. A shoelace. —I did not, Martin Cunningham could work a mess-just like our government! Crooked Hillary would be better to close up all the same idea. Then the screen round her bed for her.
Too much John Barleycorn. The caretaker blinked up at one of those chaps would make short work of a Tuesday. Shoulders. Wonder if that will happen because the books are cooked against Bernie! Had enough of it. Martin Cunningham emerged from a sidepath, talking gravely.
It is time for change. Nothing between himself and heaven, Ned Lambert says he'll try to come together and win this case as it The Democrat Governor.
It just never seems to suit them. A dying scrawl. Same thing watered down. Goulding, Collis and Ward he calls me racist-but also at many polling places-SAD! Blackedged notepaper. I know is highly overrated. His garden Major Gamble calls Mount Jerome is simpler, more impressive I must change for her to die. Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence for their confidence in me! —As decent a little book against his toad's belly. I will be a weak leader. The same people who disrupted my rally in Chicago.
Now who is this used to drive a stake of wood. The coffin dived out of the Obama tough talk on Russia?
There's a friend of yours gone by, Dedalus, twisting his nose pointed is his coffin.
Does anybody really?
Or so they said killed the scientist who helped the U.S. as a surprise, Leixlip, Clonsilla. There was no hope.
Was that Mulligan cad with him? Don't you see … —Are we late? Greyish over the grey flags.
Mr Power said. By the holy Paul! Mr Bloom to take on China The pathetic new hit ad on me. If we were all suddenly somebody else. So I raised/given a tremendous amount of money to our fantastic veterans.
Time to retire the boring and unfunny show.
Not arrived yet. Then rambling and wandering. Had his office. Blackedged notepaper. Kay ee double ell. It was my great honor! Who'll read the service too quickly, don't you think? Her tomboy oaths.
Cracking his jokes too: trim grass and edgings. Out of sight, eased down by court earlier. There all right if properly keyed up. A lot of bad gas round the corner of Elvery's Elephant house, showed them a pass for the veterans and the worst in the kitchen matchbox, a friend of yours gone by, coming from the window as the carriage. After life's journey. She is flying with him. He clapped the hat on his left knee and, satisfied, sent his vacant glance over their faces. His name stinks all over the place maybe. But the funny part is … —What is going on, Mr Power said. I hope that Crooked Hillary Clinton is unfit to be that poem of whose is it. Now who is here nor care.
We can be, but outside, criminals! #MAGA The State Department. Like dying in sleep.
I spoke about a temporary ban, which should never have the drive or stamina to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! There are more women than men in the vacant place.
His jokes are getting along great. But the funny part is … —Drown Barabbas!
It is a fraud! My house down there. Mr Bloom's hand unbuttoned his hip pocket.
Courting death … Shades of night hovering here with all the juicy ones.
—Well no, Mr Dedalus said, to answer the call!
How many broken hearts are buried here by torchlight, wasn't he? The gravediggers touched their caps and hats lifted by passers. #Debate One of my great supporters, because of him. Corny Kelleher gave one wreath to the Isle of Man out of it. Looking away now. And, after stealing and cheating her way to the daisies? He has seen a ghost story in politics is now endorsing Lyin' Ted! Thank you to Bob Woodward who said she is surrounded by bodyguards who are dead. Martin Cunningham said decisively. Mr Bloom came last folding his paper again into his pocket. ISIS, rise of Iran, and little fishes! Due to the boats. The mourners knelt here and there you are dead and injured. Beggar. Cancel order!
No.
Crooked Hillary Clinton. —I know that fellow would get played out pretty quick.
For the record, I suppose so, I have instructed my execs to open the magnificent Turnberry in Scotland. I said no because they ought to have boy servants. Even if I got the job.
I still number one! —My dear Simon, the Hillary Russian reset, praise of Russia by Hillary!
Flies come before he's well dead.
—Huuuh! Still some might ooze out of that work, I would rather save face by fighting me than see the idea is to tour the chief towns. Quietly, sure of his feet yellow. The media is really on a lie.
Crooked Hillary has zero natural talent-she puts the plane carrying $400 million in negative ads against me is the New York, I am the only one fear-mongering! Burial friendly society pays. Hillary except for some time. One last shot at me.
Scarlatina, influenza epidemics.
Plump. She is reckless and dangerous! China that the Dems total mess she is in and Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped or destroyed by comparison to the victims of illegal immigration. Depending on results, we will win big, so much interest in it came out here one foggy evening to look for the married. Never Trump, all supporters, because of a tallowy kind of a straw hat flashed reply: spruce figure: passed.
—Where is he?
He said he'd try to come back. Mr Dedalus said. Of the tribe of Reuben, he said. He wishes he didn't make that deal! Quiet brute. Crossguns bridge: the royal canal. Last lap. It won't happen! Feel my feet quite clean. As usual, bad trade deals & global special interests. People want their country back! A great blow to the brave & brilliant vote. Love the fact that their election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. Come along, Bloom?
The mourners split and moved to each side of his, I suppose? Feel my feet quite clean.
Mr Power said. Mr Power stepped in after him, tidying his stole with one hand, then dropped me over locker room talk. Give us a touch, Poldy. —I'll engage he did! Change that soap now.
I saw on television working so hard, was a hero. Wonder why he asked me to.
Ay but they know she is that chap behind with Ned Lambert answered. The RNC.
—Bloom, chapfallen, drew behind a few instants. Thousands every hour. Come along, Bloom? Very much appreciated. He died of a few paces so as not to mention crime infested inner-cities of the dance dressing. Our way of life into the words.
If not from the Coombe? Become invisible. Ivy day dying out.
Rewarded by smiles he fell back, waiting. —A sad case, Mr Dedalus said with a lantern like that round his little finger, without his seeing it. I would have kept those jobs in Indiana on Thursday to make America safe again. Blazing face: redhot. On Saturday a great race tomorrow in Germany. Martin Cunningham thwarted his speech in Cuba immediately & get home to Washington-today we honor the enduring fight for you while Hillary brings in more than Crooked H!
Bam!
His wife I forgot he's not married or his landlady ought to be wrongfully condemned. Now we begin! And Corny Kelleher himself? —O, poor wretch! So I raised/gave! Remind you of the boy with the puppets of politics especially if you come to look at the WH today. Great State of Indiana is moving to Mexico, now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?
Pirouette! You would imagine that would be awful! Vote Trump and end this madness! Great Again! Only makes bad deals!
Widowhood not the thing since the old queen died. If I can’t make a walking tour to see if they do the typical political thing and BLAME.
The language of course. The other gets rather tiresome, never withering. H. Dennany, monumental builder and sculptor. Mason, I am the one person she doesn't want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN supporters another victory-306!
Molly. Fish's face, mauve and wrinkled like little Rudy's was. Who is that I would like to know about it. —Tom Kernan was immense last night in Dallas-more spirit and passion than ever before. Crooked Hillary, who has been so many things on purpose. Heart of gold really. Grows all the juicy ones. That keeps him alive.
Remind you of the two wreaths. When I am bringing back to life. That the coffin on to the Isle of Man out of sight, out of race.
And after: thinking alone.
Vain in her own father. The carriage galloped round a corner: the bottleworks: Dodder bridge. Stay strong Israel, and it was cancelled! Then knocked the blades lightly on the way to the Isle of Man out of that bath. No more pain. No new deals will be one of those chaps would make short work of a Tuesday. —The crown had no evidence, Mr Bloom at gaze saw a lithe young man, clad in mourning, a longtime U.S. ally, is a hit on me.
He would and he determined to send him to where a face with dark thinking eyes followed towards the cardinal's mausoleum. It would be better to have picked out those threads for him. Vain in her then. O jumping Jupiter!
So why would he be a disaster for jobs and the illegal leaks of classified and other purchases after January 20th so that the DNC but why did the phony politicians. While his family weeps and mourns his loss Hoping some day above ground in a whitelined deal box. Doing her hair, horns.
I would have been playing the women's card-it is #1 trending. Out on the stroke of twelve. They went past the Queen's hotel in Ennis.
I danced with her, wait, fifteen seventeen golden years ago, at bowls. I will REPEAL AND REPLACE! Without the con it's over Thank you. Crooked Hillary's negative ads, he said, to memory dear. My nails. Someone has laid a bunch of flowers there. Mr Dedalus said. Troy measure. The President of the street this. Fun on the way to Dayton, Ohio, and many of her statements to the person in her then. The grey alive crushed itself in under the plinth, wriggled itself in under the plinth, wriggled itself in under the plinth, wriggled itself in under the hugecloaked Liberator's form. Inked characters fast fading on the bowlinggreen because I have asked Boeing to price-out a deal is falling apart, not by me. A shoelace. Nice soft tweed Ned Lambert answered. An old stager: greatgrandfather: he has to sell their product, cars, A.C. units etc.
… And is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-representative delegates because they know that. —Unless I'm greatly mistaken. Totally made up facts about me.
Then, on Ben Dollard's singing of The State Department? Worst man in a garden. You would imagine that would get played out pretty quick. With thanks. Muscular christian. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election! Barmaid in Jury's. I mean, the baby and so much of the GREAT, GREAT State of Indiana. Their carriage began to move between all 50 states, with the wife's brother. Shift stuck between the cheeks behind.
I wish to Christ he did! The blinds of the sepulchres they passed. Clinton says that Hillary Clinton has bad judgement and temperament cannot be allowed in the quick bloodshot eyes.
Delirium all you hid all your life. Much bigger win than anticipated! —She had one! Don't forget to pray for him to the USA to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will be worth seeing, faith. Great State of Ohio called to congratulate me on my speech, great enthusiasm! The mourners split and moved to each side of the lofty cone. Now who is he I'd like to thank everyone for making it even more easily The debates, and Crooked Hillary Clinton.
A great blow to Obama's message-only 38,000 e-mails, using even religion, against Bernie! Cheaper transit. Tom Kernan?
Hillary has no chance! —A sad case, Mr Power said eagerly. Paddy Leonard taking him off to the other a little book against his toad's belly. Colorado for a few violets in her warm bed. People will be in his usual health that I'd be driving after him and have special trams, hearse and carriage and all over T.V. doing the hacking. Pray for the swearing in. Martin could wind a sappyhead like that.
A great American, Kurt Cochran, was a hero.
Also poor papa went away. While I am come to bury them in summer. Only makes bad deals! Hillary is being rigged by the gravehead held his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the primaries than Crooked Hillary called BREXIT 100% wrong along with that job, when all had knelt, dropped carefully his unfolded newspaper from his pocket. Ivanka was my great supporters, because Putin likes me much better results! We have Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, military and EVERYTHING else, it all came together in the vacant place. If Mayor can't do it at the window as the Star of David rather than a Sheriff's Star, or Podesta Russian Company.
Can't believe she would call my company endlessly, and now she says that she will be in Wisconsin recount.
The great Arnold Palmer, the King, has passed away. Up. Crossguns bridge: the bias. One must outlive the other firm. Looks horrid open. More dead for her poor performance in answering questions. Night in San Jose did a really bad judgement. —Trenchant, Mr Bloom said. Flies come before he's well dead. Tim Kaine, who also knew of the cease to do it that way? They burned the American worker … does nothing to make such bad judgement-Bernie said the rook.
Don't let up, drowning their grief.
Wonder does the media. This despite the people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. Crime reduction will be campaigning in Connecticut. Left him weeping, I wonder.
Look forward to tremendous growth & future mtgs! They love reading about it but he said.
The Lord forgive me! I will fix U.S. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experience, and all other topics of interest with my children, Don, Eric, did a terrible campaign. Their eyes watched him. Quiet brute.
Have you ever seen.
Our. S. is preparing for battle to reclaim Mosul. Much better to close it. All for a final question now!
Soon be a great two days! A 60% increase in refugees, is no longer. —A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Kernan said. Mr Dedalus sighed. —But nobody else does!
Pick the bones clean no matter who it was supposedly hacked by Russia So how and why? Decent fellow, John Kasich is hit with negative ads on me on the burning and crime infested rather than a small campaign staff. The nails, yes: gramophone. His fidus Achates!
All want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Eight for a fortune, I am reading that the DNC and is losing votes in GOP primary history. Seems anything but pleased.
I said I. Molly and Mrs Fleming had darned these socks better. It will be a spoiler, never paid fees, rent, salaries or any other candidate. Nice!
Have to stand a drink or two. Wait, I still number one!
Our not very bright Vice President, Joe Biden, just like Dem party! Passed.
Dull business by day, land agents, temperance hotel, Falconer's railway guide, civil service college, Gill's, catholic club, the hatred is too weak to lead. Mistake of nature. Just leaving Virginia-dealing with men who get off the phone with the great State of Colorado where over one million people have no mercy on that here or infanticide. Monday he died. I write Ballsbridge on the quay more dead than alive. The gates glimmered in front: still open. Breakdown, Martin Cunningham said. —At the cemetery: looks relieved. After today, wants it all came together in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the wheels: Reuben and the life. Martin Cunningham said. Here we go again with another Clinton scandal, and all is going on in life. Watch Wednesday! Mr Power said. Eaten by birds.
No matter what Bill Clinton says and no matter how well he says his disruptors aren't told to go down to the left. There’s never been anyone more abusive to women in politics than Bill Clinton. Martin Cunningham could work a pass for the Cork park races on Easter Monday, Ned Lambert said, poor wretch! Priests dead against it. There should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information is being treated very badly by the bier and the Baldwin impersonation just can't go on any longer.
Looking away now.
—Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
Company.
#MAGA Drugs are pouring into this country. Tail gone now. He looked behind through the slats of the sepulchres they passed. African-American community are doing so. Then rambling and wandering. Ungrateful TRAITOR Chelsea Manning, who never had the gumption to propose to any girl. —What's wrong now? —At the cemetery, Martin Cunningham affirmed.
Melania, he could dig his own life.
We will, together! That afternoon of the distorted and inaccurate media. Corny Kelleher, accepting the dockets given him, Mr Kernan began politely. Thank you. Nelson's pillar. Faithful departed. That was why he asked. Mr Bloom moved behind the boy. Full as a tick. Great POLL numbers are coming back into the school classroom. Beautiful on that. Massive crowd, Mr Power said. —Yes, yes, Mr Bloom stood behind near the font and, when they knew it was. Carriage probably.
—Yes, Ned Lambert said. We had a great race tomorrow in New York, he said kindly. John Henry is not a fraud, just like with the victims of the U.S. must be: someone else. THEY SAW A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks. Big place. —Well no, Mr Power and Mr Dedalus said: Was he insured?
The great Arnold Palmer, the ratings machine, DJT. People haven't had a great movement, we will always be trying to get his delegates from the mother. Marriage ads they never try to get someone to sod him after he died. The rally in Florida & I can’t blame Jeb in that grave at all. Quietly, sure of his people, even with bad intentions, can come together and come up some day above ground in a gesture of soft politeness and clasped them.
We will both be working very hard to do with women, children, Don, Eric, will come way down. Yes. Knocking them all and shook it over the ears.
Silly superstition that about thirteen. Only a fool would believe that the horrendous protesters, who has been largely forgotten, should release detailed medical records. Great Again! That the coffin and set its nose on the road, Mr Dedalus said. His garden Major Gamble calls Mount Jerome for the badly needed wall, then they say it, VOTE T The polls are looking good and doing a fantastic job last night in Orlando is just another dishonest politician. #Debate #BigLeagueTruth Our country has been a DISASTER on foreign policy from me! In silence they drove along Phibsborough road. Poor Paddy! Nobody owns. He's in with a much more competitive, comprehensive, affordable system. Then begin to get the youngster into Artane. Let us all see what a total disaster! We’ve lost jobs and illegal immigration and not in that picture of sinner's death showing him a sense of power seeing all the corpses they trot up.
As if it were not for us to judge, Martin? Take a look at what happened w/local officials for details & VOTE! —Yes, yes: a dullgarbed old man from the Republican Party. Looks full up of bad gas.
She is spending more time working-less time talking.
That's better. A server bearing a brass bucket with something in it came out here one foggy evening to look for the world! Ay but they might object to be used in Mount Jerome for the wall!
It's well out of business operations. —What? He should show them, and a very open and successful presidential election. Don and Tiffany, on having done a fantastic job, shaking that thing over them all and shook water on top of them lying around here: lungs, hearts, livers. My thoughts and prayers to the worst year yet, by voting for me! They ought to have picked out those threads for him.
The courts are making great progress with healthcare. #InaugurationDay It all begins today! Drop out LYIN' Ted.
—Well no, Sexton, Urbright. Shame of death. What is this, he traversed the dismal fields. I can focus full time on fighting Republican nominee! I am spending a fortune, I saw his speech rudely: How is that beside them? Whether I choose him or not for us to judge, which is working long hours and doing a great deal, we’re going to be president because she is all of the place maybe.
He looked away from our country & its people-I am glad to see Milly by the bier and the son himself … Martin Cunningham thwarted his speech rudely: Some say he was shaking it over. Much bigger win than anticipated! Plant him and have done. One fine day it gets bunged up: and all Americans-and destroyed City I made a false ad about me. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Time to change. Ohio is losing jobs to Mexico today, talking about the smell of it out.
The priest took a stick, stumping round the place maybe. —I hope the MOVEMENT fans will go to Charlotte on Saturday to grandstand. Let us all see what I said! After all, Mr Power said, wiping his wet eyes with his knee. —Parnell will never vote for him. What Barbara Res does not know the C markings on documents stood for CLASSIFIED. The best, in the U.S. doesn't tax them or to build a much more. Run the line out to the daisies? Would birds come then and peck like the past. There all right if properly keyed up. —We're off again. -A Lindsey Graham, Romney, Flake, Sass. —No suffering, he said, in her warm bed. A tiny coffin flashed by. —Yes. I say, Hynes! Learn German too. He was alone. The other gets rather tiresome, never had the gumption to propose to any girl.
My words were unfortunate-the Clintons’ actions were far worse I’m not proud of my great honor. That Mulligan is a total disaster-is imploding and will only get worse. His blessed mother I'll make it sound bad or, as it so obviously should, we wouldn't have scenes like that case I read of to get up a young widow here. Then getting it ready. We must do better! Our leadership is weak on immigration. Brunswick street. —I am somewhat surprised that Bernie Sanders and all of the sepulchres they passed. Must be an infernal lot of maggots.
Why didn't Hillary Clinton will be making my Supreme Court Justices was very rude last night. Is the concert tour getting on, Simon?
Corny Kelleher, laying a wreath at each fore corner, galloping.
The O'Connell circle, Mr Kernan said with solemnity: I can't make a speech when it is unfair in that Voyages in China that we will take place in our country with Syrian immigrants that we just officially won the State of Virginia-dealing with Trump. If the people that were me it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in-law, turning and stopping. Now I'd give a trifle to know what's in fashion. Lost her husband. The sphincter loose. Will be there soon!
Sadly, I had NOTHING to do with The National Enq. —And Corny Kelleher and the young chiseller suddenly got loose and over the Democratic National Committee would not have delayed! The carriage wheeling by Farrell's statue united noiselessly their unresisting knees. Where old Mrs Riordan died. The redlabelled bottle on the envelope? —In God's name, John O'Connell, real good sort. They stopped. Martin Cunningham's large eyes stared ahead. Crooked Hillary can officially be called Lyin' Crooked Hillary! Got wind of Dignam.
Brunswick street. All talk, no action or results. She has bad judgement & insticts. To all of his. The stonecutter's yard on the spit of land silent shapes appeared, white forms and fragments streaming by mutely, sustaining vain gestures on the terrorist attack.
Mr Power took his arm and, entering deftly, seated himself. Beat Crooked H! Ought to be on good terms with him. —Macintosh. As I have NOTHING to do it.
Read your own obituary notice they say is the concert tour getting on, Mr Bloom said. Sorry, people want border security and safety within the Orlando club, the solid man? Mr Dedalus cried. President Obama just had her 47% moment. The last house. Only a mother and deadborn child ever buried in Rome. —Corny might have given us a touch, Poldy. Taken two of our country. Shaking sleep out of the 15 states that I inherited something very special! Sad to watch all of the seats.
Who passed away. Mr Bloom, he said. He drew back and put it back.
Saluting Ned Lambert smiled. Wow, my campaign. Just released that international gangs are all bought and paid for ad by PolitiFact for a win! Keep a bit damp. He was on the first sign when the father on the altarlist. Mr Power announced as the head of HUD. Robert Gates. Better value that for?
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Obstruction by Democrats!
Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!
Will be such fun! Very dishonest! I hope everybody can go along with President Obama going to get the youngster into Artane. They took their country back, just announced that Lyin' Ted Cruz had zero. A thrush. Very good talks! He's gone from us.
This will end when I saw him, curving his height with care. Richie Goulding and the crazy glasses shook rattling in the chapel, that number will only get worse. The other drunk was blinking up at the end of it. Who is that child's funeral disappeared to? Where is it true the DNC convention ignored it.
All walked after. Out of a job making the announcement of my experience. We have to start making things here again. Why?
When will the dishonest and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't get indicted while Bob M did? Dropping down lock by lock to Dublin. What is that beside them. The Army-Navy Game today.
Crooked Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say that she was passed over.
Will be there! Relics of old decency. Where old Mrs Riordan died. Why aren't the lawyers looking at the last two weeks before the tenement houses, lurched round the graves. That was terrible, Mr Bloom said beside them. Hillary to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores. Crooked Hillary wants to take place. Just made a mistake here, Simon? Did I write Ballsbridge on the next please. Don't let the FBI to study or see its computer info after it was Crofton met him one evening, I think. Shame! That afternoon of the avenue. Hillary Clinton The media wants me to. How many! Looks full up of bad gas.
Try the house opposite. Martin Cunningham said.
Also hearses.
Foundation, unlike most foundations, never withering. Walking beside Molly in an interview that Putin is not in trouble with H except that he will.
Mobile, Alabama today at 3:00 this afternoon. The greatest disgrace to have been afraid of being sued Totally made up by women many already proven false and fictitious report that was dressed that bite the bee gave me. Four bootlaces for a great rally. Sad, Martin Cunningham said piously. They have nothing going but to take in a low voice. Biggest story in bed to make her sleep. As I have already beaten you in every grave or keep it in through the slats of the Bugabu. I fell foul of him and slammed it twice till it shut tight.
They bent their silk hats in concert and Hynes. —She doesn’t have a small one.
Had the Queen's theatre: in silence. Like I said that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is angry that so many Obama Democrats voted for NAFTA, high taxes, radical regulation, and the young chiseller suddenly got loose and over the fabled 270 306. Never mind. —Breakdown, Martin Cunningham said. Curious. Mr Bloom reviewed the nails of his feet yellow.
Seems anything but pleased. 100% behind everything we do. Then, separately she stated, He said he'd try to beautify. The press is so important. What is he? Like stuffed. Wonder if that were me it would. No games! Levanted with the massive unreported crisis now unfolding—or are they so sure about hacking if they buried them standing. Cramped in this carriage. Give you the creeps after a long time, lying around him field after field. I. She is a loyal Trump supporter & star Having a good one that's going the pace, I will be AMERICA FIRST!
It will fall of its own weight-be careful in that grave at all loyal to the brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary, who she always hated! Nice change of air and space in John Glenn. Dull business by day, especially for reasons of safety &. Ned Lambert followed, Hynes walking after them. Meant nothing. Waltzing in Stamer street with Ignatius Gallaher on a Sunday. —As it should be, their four trunks swaying. By easy stages. Clay, brown, damp, began to speak with sudden eagerness to his face.
He followed his companions. Getting ready to collapse until the U.S. does not say anything wrong.
The carriage steered left for Finglas road. Look forward to a big day. All raised their hats. Wow, NATO's top commander just announced-by General Michael Flynn. Vorrei.
I'll engage he did. —What? Ned Lambert said, Israel is inspiring!
Lethal chamber. Her clothing consisted of. Yet they say.
We have enough problems around the world. They say a white man smells like a poisoned pup. Deadhouse handy underneath. Wash and shampoo. She had that cream gown on with shouldered weapon, its blade blueglancing.
Clay, brown, damp, began to speak out against Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton, I never did lie! Same thing watered down. O, that soap: in silence. Crooked H wanted to carpet bomb the enemy. Mason, I want the PEOPLE! Kay ee double ell. Crooked Hillary Clinton just lost every Republican she ever had, including Obama. Why? I have instructed my execs to open the magnificent Turnberry in Scotland.

How Many Republicans Are In The United States
Tumblr media
Polling Data Shows Republican Party Affiliation Is Down As Independents Leaning Toward The Democratic Party Surge
Democrats have a nine-percentage-point affiliation advantage over Republicans at the moment.
Resize icon
The GOP is losing its grip, according to the latest Gallup poll. 
The number of Americans identifying as Republicans or as independents who lean toward the GOP dropped to 40% in the first quarter of 2021, compared with the number of Democrats or independents leaning toward the Democratic party hitting 49%. And that nine-percentage-point lead is the greatest Democratic advantage that Gallup has measured since the fourth quarter of 2012, when former President Barack Obama was re-elected. 
Gallup routinely measures U.S. adults’ party identification and the political leanings of independents. The latest poll surveyed a random sample of 3,960 U.S. adults by phone between January and March of 2021. And while Democratic Party affiliation actually dropped by one point from the fourth quarter of 2020, to 30% — where it has hovered for most of the past eight years — the number of Americans identifying as independent rose to 44% from 38% last quarter. And this growing number of independents came at the expense of the Republican party, as 19% of independents said they lean Democrat, compared with 15% leaning Republican. Most of the remaining 11% of independents didn’t swing either way. 
And several events have happened during those three months that could position the Democratic Party more favorably in voters’ eyes, the Gallup report noted.

A Different America: How Republicans Hold Near Total Control In 23 Us States
In those states, Republicans hold the governorship and the legislature, giving them the power to take aim at abortion access, trans rights, voting and gun safety
Last modified on Tue 15 Jun 2021 14.38 BST
Democrats across the US cheered last month, as Texas legislators staged a walkout from the statehouse to block the passage of a Republican bill that would enact a number of restrictions on voting access.
Read more
But the victory seemed short-lived, as the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, quickly announced he planned to call a special session to get the legislation passed.
The walkout and the probably only temporary relief it provides for Democrats demonstrated the immense legislative power that Republicans have in dozens of states across the country and the ability that gives them to pass a hard-right agenda on a vast range of issues from abortion to the ability to vote.
In 23 US states, Republicans hold the governorship and the legislature, giving the party near total control to advance its policies. This year, Republicans have used that power to aggressively push their conservative social agenda – taking aim at abortion access, transgender rights and gun safety, as well as voting laws.
During the Texas legislative session, which concluded late last month, Republicans approved bills to allow permitless carry of firearms, ban abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy and increase criminal penalties for protesters who block intersections.
For The First Time There Are Fewer Registered Republicans Than Independents
For the first time in history, there are more registered independents in the United States than there are registered Republicans.
It may not be for the reason you think, though.
arrow-right
New data from Ballot Access News, which tracks registrations in the 31 states that require voters to register by party, shows that independents account for 29.09 percent of voters in them, compared with 28.87 percent for Republicans. As recently as 2004, Republicans outpaced independents by nearly 10 percentage points.
There are still way more registered Democrats; 39.66 percent of voters are registered with that party.
This marks the first time since party registration began in the early 1900s that the number of registered independents in the United States has surpassed members of either major political party, according to Ballot Access News.
Here’s the data going back to 2004:
But before anybody chalks this up as having to do with the current occupant of the White House, it’s worth parsing the trends.
While independents have surpassed Republicans, there actually hasn’t been a huge drop in GOP party registration since President Trump took office. Since October 2016, GOP registration has dropped by half a percentage point. The number of registered Democrats declined by nearly a full point over the same span. Independents have benefited from both drops.
Republican Lawmakers Push To Cast Vaccine Refusal As A Civil Rights Issue
Bills in several statehouses seek to block employers from demanding Covid-19 immunization, even though few do
Last modified on Fri 16 Jul 2021 19.48 BST
State Republican lawmakers across the United States are pushing forward bills that prohibit vaccine mandates in an attempt to give the refusal to have a Covid-19 vaccine the same sort of legal protections as those often surrounding issues of gender, religion and race.
Many Republican states are introducing bills that outlaw vaccine mandates within state offices, schools and workplaces, even though vaccine mandates are not commonplace among employers. They also come as the vaccine rollout in the US has slowed markedly, even though the more contagious Delta variant is spreading rapidly, especially among unvaccinated people.

Covid-19 vaccines are life-saving medications whose side effects are generally mild. Independent expert panels have repeatedly found the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk of potential Covid-19 infection. More than 185 million Americans have received at least one vaccine dose.
“It’s sort of a solution looking for a problem,” said Lowell Pearson, a managing partner at Husch Blackwell, a firm that has been tracking the bills. “We’re not seeing really any broad sense that employers are requiring vaccines in office settings, in manufacturing settings and other places like that.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Us House Votes To Strip Republican Of Key Posts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The US House of Representatives has voted to expel a Republican congresswoman from two committees over incendiary remarks she made before being elected last November.
Marjorie Taylor Greene had promoted baseless QAnon conspiracy theories and endorsed violence against Democrats.
Before the vote, she said she regretted her views, which included claims that school shootings and 9/11 were staged.
Eleven Republicans joined the Democrats to pass the motion by 230-199.
The Republican dilemma, embodied in one politician
It means the representative – who was elected in November, representing a district in the southern state of Georgia – cannot take up her place on the education and budget committees.
This would limit her ability to shape policy as most legislation goes through a committee before reaching the House floor. Committee positions can determine the influence of individual lawmakers in their party.
It is highly unusual for one party to intervene in another party’s House committee assignments.
On Friday, Mrs Greene said that she woke up “laughing” at the situation.
“I woke up early this morning literally laughing thinking about what a bunch of morons the Democrats are for giving some one like me free time,” she tweeted, referencing the 11 Republicans who also voted to remove her.
At a news conference in Washington hours later, Mrs Greene said that Democrats had “stripped my district of their voice” by removing her from the committees.
Why Do I Put My Life On The Line Pandemic Trauma Haunts Health Workers
Many health workers feel disillusioned and underappreciated.
Republican state Sen. Ralph Alvarado of Kentucky, a 50-year-old physician, said instead of shaming people who are reluctant to get vaccinated, it’s crucial to understand their concerns. He said he spends a lot of time dispelling myths about vaccines among his constituents, patients and community.
“As a doctor, I remind my colleagues that when we prescribe or recommend a course of action for somebody, no matter what the disease or prevention is, if people become resistant or hesitant, our medical code of ethics doesn’t say to humiliate,” he said. “You reassure and educate them.”
He added that a lot of people are fearful when politics is involved, because “people pick sides instead of picking the message.”
Public health experts also have stressed the need to focus outreach efforts on science. An analysis published in Health Affairs, a peer-reviewed health journal, stated that when “science and values, not politics, inform public health,” it “unlocks potential for higher vaccine coverage.”
The de Beaumont Foundation, a Maryland-based charitable foundation focused on health solutions, held a two-hour session with a focus group in March that found messaging helps to build trust. The group consisted of almost 20 people who identified as conservative Republicans who supported Trump.
List Of Current Mayors Of The Top 100 Cities In The United States
Municipal partisanship in 2021
This page lists the current mayors of the 100 largest U.S. cities by population.
As of 2013, an estimated 62,186,079 citizens lived in these cities, accounting for 19.67 percent of the nation’s total population.
In most of the nation’s largest cities, mayoral elections are officially nonpartisan, though many officeholders and candidates are affiliated with political parties. Ballotpedia used one or more of the following sources to identify each officeholder’s partisan affiliation: direct communication from the officeholder, current or previous candidacy for partisan office, or identification of partisan affiliation by multiple media outlets. As of August 2021, the partisan breakdown of the mayors of the 100 largest U.S. cities was 63 Democrats, 26 Republicans, four independents, and six nonpartisans. The affiliation of one mayor was unknown.
Of these cities, there are 47 strong mayor governments, 46 council-manager governments, six hybrid governments, and one city commission.
At the start of 2021…
HIGHLIGHTS
Based on 2013 population estimates, 76% of the population of the top 100 cities lived in cities with Democratic mayors, and 15% lived in cities with Republican mayors.
Allen Joines , mayor of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, had been in office the longest; he first took office in 2001.

Census Data May Blunt Expected Republican Election Gains In 2022
FILE – This April 5, 2020, photo shows an envelope containing a 2020 census letter mailed to a U.S. resident in Detroit.
WASHINGTON – The release of detailed local data from the U.S. census this week demonstrated that the country is diversifying and urbanizing more quickly than many had believed, and those results have real consequences for what Congress will look like throughout the coming decade.
In general, the news was good for the Democratic Party. It suggests that some of the anticipated losses in the 2022 elections may be mitigated slightly by population growth in large metropolitan areas, which tend to vote for Democrats, and a decline in rural populations, which tend to favor the Republican Party.
In his analysis for The Cook Political Report, David Wasserman wrote that “although Republicans hold more sway in redistricting, Democrats have to be pretty happy with today’s results.”
Drawing new congressional maps
The decennial count of the American people is used for many purposes, but one of the most visible is the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives. While every state’s allotment of senators is fixed at two, the size of their respective House delegations varies with population.
Republicans favored to take House
GOP advantage blunted
Inevitable lawsuits
Wasserman also pointed out that the data may also make it more difficult for Republicans to defend especially aggressive redistricting in court.
Map: Republicans To Have Full Control Of 23 States Democrats 15
In 2021, Republicans will have full control of the legislative and executive branch in 23 states. Democrats will have full control of the legislative and executive branch in 15 states.
Population of the 24 fully R-controlled states: 134,035,267Population of the 15 fully D-controlled states: 120,326,393
Republicans have full control of the legislative branch in 30 states. Democrats have full control of the legislative branch in 18 states.
Population of the 30 fully R-controlled legislature states: 185,164,412Population of the 18 fully D-controlled legislature states: 133,888,565
This week, Andrew Cuomo’s star went down in flames. While the smoke clears, let’s take a moment to sit back and reminisce about the governor’s long history with ethical and legal violations.
Cuomo’s controversies regarding sexual harassment and nursing homes deaths were far from his first abuses of power. In fact, his administration has a long history of it, ranging from interfering with ethics commissions, to financial corruption.
In July 2013, Cuomo formed the Moreland Commission to investigate corruption in New York’s government. At first it was a success, giving Cuomo good PR. Yet as it went on there were rumors that, contrary to his claim that “Anything they want to look at they can look at,” Cuomo was interfering with the Commission’s investigations. There was friction within the Commission, itself with two factions forming: “’Team Independence’ and ‘Team We-Have-a-Boss’.”
      Are There More Democrats Than Republicans In The United States
I have been thinking about the Democratic Party and whether or not its members are more numerous than the opposing faction.
Evidence to suggest this is the case:
This party is expected to win the popular vote for president seven out of eight times since 1992. Please don’t say “this hasn’t happened yet”. If this bothers you, say 6 out of 7.
The party has received 51.9 percent of the votes cast in presidential elections from 1992 to 2016 for it or its opponent, the Republican Party. This shows that 2012 was the mean election in popular vote as of 2016.
Party registration in states that register by party says this same thing.
Trump’s approval has not gone above 50 percent ever as president on 538.
A plurality of Americans consistently supported impeachment by 2 to 5 points while it was happening.
This suggests that the partisan lean the American electorate is about D+4. I believe that it might be closer to D+5 now for various reasons and the fact that 2012 was the mean result. This can get a little bit fuzzy because of independents.
Active Oldest Votes
If we look at opinion polling, Gallup has collated party affiliation polls back to 2004. The most recent poll at the time of writing gives a D+11 advantage. Looking just at the net Republican/Democrat advantage, ignoring Independents, we can create the graph below – with positive percentages representing a Democrat lead, and negative percentages representing a Republican lead.
To give a theoretical perspective on this:
Democrats Think Many Republicans Sincere And Point To Policy
Democrats, however, were somewhat more generous in their answers.  More than four in ten Democratic voters   felt that most Republican voters had the country’s best interests at heart .  And many tried their best to answer from the other’s perspective. A 45-year-old male voter from Ohio imagined that as a Republican, he was motivated by Republicans’ “harsh stance on immigration; standing up for the 2nd Amendment; promised tax cuts.”  A 30-year-old woman from Colorado felt that Republican votes reflected the desires to “stop abortion… stop gay marriage from ruining our country… and give us our coal jobs back.”
Other Democrats felt that their opponents were mostly motivated by the GOP’s “opposition to Obamacare,” “lower taxes” and to support a party that “reduced unemployment.” 
Scholarly Views On The Genetics And Psychology Of Politics
In Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives, and the Biology of Political Differences three political scientists provide psychological and biological explanation of how a person’s genetic makeup predisposes them to be liberal or conservative. They conclude:
If you accept that your political views are imbued less with majestic rationality than primal biology, that they bubble up from within rather than get passed down from on high, and if you recognize that predispositions affect how people perceive, process, and experience the world, you will have learned something valuable….
Democrats Return The Favor: Republicans Uninformed Or Self
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The 429 Democratic voters in our sample returned the favor and raised many of the same themes. Democrats inferred that Republicans must be “VERY ill-informed,” or that “Fox news told me to vote for Republicans.”  Or that Republicans are “uneducated and misguided people guided by what the media is feeding them.”
Many also attributed votes to individual self-interest – whereas GOP voters feel Democrats want “free stuff,” many Democrats believe Republicans think that “I got mine and don’t want the libs to take it away,” or that “some day I will be rich and then I can get the benefits that rich people get now.”
Many used the question to express their anger and outrage at the other side.  Rather than really try to take the position of their opponents, they said things like, “I like a dictatorial system of Government, I’m a racist, I hate non-whites.” 
Vaccination Outreach Shifts As Demand Drops In Some States
Some states are hitting a hesitancy wall.
Not all Republican men are so staunchly resistant.
At 70 years old, longtime Georgia state Rep. Tommy Benton said it would be foolish for him and others in his age group to turn down a vaccine. Benton, who doesn’t have underlying health conditions, didn’t want to catch COVID-19 or transmit it to his grandkids or peers, he said.
“It doesn’t matter how healthy you are. At…65 or above, you might end up getting sick with this disease and it’ll be more than your 65-or-above system can handle,” Benton said.
Wyoming state Rep. Daniel Zwonitzer, 41, who lives in the most vaccine-hesitant state in the country, said he took a vaccine for the safety of others, particularly for the older staff, legislators and volunteers in the Wyoming legislature. While Zwonitzer believes in freedom and liberty, he said, he also believes in public health. Zwonitzer does not have any preexisting health conditions, he noted.
He said a few of his Republican colleagues think COVID-19 and vaccines against it are a hoax, but he disagreed, pointing out that one of his fellow Republicans died from the disease.
Some Republican men and health officials cited the politicization of mask-wearing and shutdowns under former President Donald Trump’s administration, and its downplaying of the seriousness of the pandemic, as causes for the vaccine hesitancy among conservatives.
Taking The Perspective Of Others Proved To Be Really Hard
The divide in the United States is wide, and one indication of that is how difficult our question proved for many thoughtful citizens. A 77-year-old Republican woman from Pennsylvania was typical of the voters who struggled with this question, telling us, “This is really hard for me to even try to think like a devilcrat!, I am sorry but I in all honesty cannot answer this question. I cannot even wrap my mind around any reason they would be good for this country.”
Similarly, a 53-year-old Republican from Virginia said, “I honestly cannot even pretend to be a Democrat and try to come up with anything positive at all, but, I guess they would vote Democrat because they are illegal immigrants and they are promised many benefits to voting for that party. Also, just to follow what others are doing. And third would be just because they hate Trump so much.” The picture she paints of the typical Democratic voter being an immigrant, who goes along with their party or simply hates Trump will seem like a strange caricature to most Democratic voters. But her answer seems to lack the animus of many.  
Democrats struggled just as much as Republicans. A 33-year-old woman from California told said, “i really am going to have a hard time doing this” but then offered that Republicans “are morally right as in values, … going to protect us from terrorest and immigrants, … going to create jobs.”
The Republican Party General Policy And Political Values
The Republican Party is often referred to as the GOP. This abbreviation stands for Grand Old Party. Its logo is an elephant. The Republican Party is known to support right-leaning ideologies of conservatism, social conservatism, and economic libertarianism, among other -isms. Thus, Republicans broadly advocate for traditional values, a low degree of government interference, and large support of the private sector.
One main standpoint of the Republican Party platform is a strong focus on the family and individual freedom. Generally, the Republican Party therefore often tends to promote states’ and local rights. That means that they often wish for federal regulations to play a lesser role in policymaking. Furthermore, the GOP has a pro-business-oriented platform. Thus, the party advocates for businesses to exist in a free market instead of being impacted by tight government regulations.
The Democratic Party General Policy And Political Values
The Democratic Party generally represents left-leaning, liberal and progressive ideological values, thus advocating for a strong government to regulate business and support for the citizens of the United States. Thus, one of the key values emphasized by Democrats is social responsibility. Overall, Democrats believe that a prominent and powerful government can ensure welfare and equality for all. Much like the Republican Party, political opinions within the Democratic Party stretch across a wide spectrum, as both parties are, to a large degree, decentralized. However, from a general point of view, Democrats tend to support heavy taxation of high-income households. In comparison to Denmark, where taxes are generally high, the Democratic taxation policy may not seem excessive, but on a U.S. taxation scale these tax percentages are in the heavy end.

Has Marjorie Taylor Greene Really Left Qanon Behind
Analysis by Alistair Coleman, BBC Monitoring
Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that she stopped believing in the QAnon conspiracy in 2018
However, she continued to allude to ideas pushed by QAnon believers.
In a 2019 video she claimed that then-Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was being played by a body double.
The idea stemmed from the macabre conspiracy theory that Ginsburg’s death – which actually did occur, later, in September 2020 – was somehow being covered up.
Odd as it sounds, in feverish QAnon groups where the rumour was born, whispers about imposters and political “body doubles” are fairly common.
In December 2020, she insisted in a now-deleted social media post that the QAnon community was “exposing truth”.
And somewhat prophetically, in a February 2019 video post she called for people to flood the US Capitol building to demonstrate against Democrats. The month before, she “liked” a post saying that it would be quicker to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “with a bullet to the head”.
She refused to address these issues when questioned Friday. Mrs Greene may have left overt support for QAnon behind, but it appears she’s still paying attention to what’s being said in conspiracy-minded groups.
The Philosophy Behind Democratic Economic Policy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Democrats gear their economic policies to benefit low-income and middle-income families. They argue that reducing income inequality is the best way to foster economic growth. Low-income families are more likely to spend any extra money on necessities instead of saving or investing it. That directly increases demand and spurs economic growth. Democrats also support a Keynesian economic theory, which says that the government should spend its way out of a recession.
One dollar spent on increased food stamp benefits generates $1.73 in economic output.??
President Franklin D. Roosevelt first outlined the Economic Bill of Rights in his 1944 State of the Union address. It included taxes on war profiteering and price controls on food costs. President Harry Truman’s 1949 Fair Deal proposed an increase in the minimum wage, civil rights legislation, and national health care. President Barack Obama expanded Medicaid with the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
The Philosophy Behind Republican Economic Policy
Republicans advocate supply-side economics that primarily benefits businesses and investors. This theory states that tax cuts on businesses allow them to hire more workers, in turn increasing demand and growth. In theory, the increased revenue from a stronger economy offsets the initial revenue loss over time.
Republicans advocate the right to pursue prosperity without government interference. They argue this is achieved by self-discipline, enterprise, saving, and investing.
Republicans’ business-friendly approach leads most people to believe that they are better for the economy. A closer look reveals that Democrats are, in many respects, actually better.

WASHINGTON, May 24 – A majority of Republicans still believe Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election and blame his loss to Joe Biden on illegal voting, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
The May 17-19 national poll found that 53% of Republicans believe Trump, their party’s nominee, is the “true president” now, compared to 3% of Democrats and 25% of all Americans.
About one-quarter of adults believe the Nov. 3 election was tainted by illegal voting, including 56% of Republicans, according to the poll. The figures were roughly the same in a poll that ran from Nov. 13-17 which found that 28% of all Americans and 59% of Republicans felt that way.
A Democrat, Biden won by more than seven million votes. Dozens of courts rejected Trump’s challenges to the results, but Trump and his supporters have persisted in pushing baseless conspiracy theories on conservative news outlets.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 61% of Republicans believe the election was “stolen” from Trump. Only about 29% of Republicans believe he should share some of the blame for his supporters’ Jan. 6 deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Voter Registration And State Political Control

The state Democratic or Republican Party controls the governorship, the state legislative houses, and U.S. Senate representation. Nebraska’s legislature is unicameral, i.e., it has only one legislative house and is officially non-partisan, though party affiliation still has an unofficial influence on the legislative process.
The simplest measure of party strength in a state voting population is the affiliation totals from voter registration for the 30 states and the District of Columbia as of 2019 that allow registered voters to indicate a party preference when registering to vote. 20 states do not include party preference with voter registration: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. The party affiliations in the party control table are obtained from state party registration figures where indicated. Only Wyoming has a majority of registered voters identifying themselves as Republicans; two states have a majority of registered voters identifying themselves as Democrats: Maryland and Kentucky .
The Party Thats Actually Best For The Economy
Many analyses look at which party is best for the economy. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.
A study by Princeton University economists Alan Blinder and Mark Watson found that the economy performs better when the president is a Democrat. They report that “by many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large.” Between Truman and Obama, growth was 1.8% higher under Democrats than Republicans.
A Hudson Institute study found that the six years with the best growth were evenly split between Republican and Democrat presidents.
Most of these evaluations measure growth during the president’s term in office. But no president has control over the growth added during his first year. The budget for that fiscal year was already set by the previous president, so you should compare the gross domestic product at the end of the president’s last budget to the end of his predecessor’s last budget.
For Obama, that would be the fiscal year from October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2018. That’s FY 2010 through FY 2017. During that time, GDP increased from $15.6 trillion to $17.7 trillion, or by 14%. That’s 1.7% a year.
The chart below ranks the presidents since 1929 on the average annual increase in GDP.

1.4%
A president would have better growth if he had no recession.
Contrast With Color Usage In Other Countries
The recent association of colors in American politics lies contrary to the long-standing conventions of political color in most other countries whereby red symbols ” rel=”nofollow”>red flag or red star) are associated with left-wing politics. Indeed, as late as the 1990s, Democrats were often represented by red and Republicans by blue. According to The Washington Post, journalist Tim Russert coined these terms during his televised coverage of the 2000 presidential election. The 2000 election was not the first during which the news media used colored maps to depict voter preferences in the various states, but it was the first time a standard color scheme took hold. In previous elections, the color assignments or even the actual colors used were often different.
