    In all seriousness, 5-6 advertisers cannot carry a network.

    I've been in Don Young's office, it is covered wall to wall with his many hunting trophies and armament, including
    an eight-foot standing bear just inside the front door. It's a taxidermy museum.

    It's more than what have you done for us lately here, though. She did hold the party together and stood up to Trump in ways no others could have the past term.

    Sorry for the deep dive from 20 pages ago, but this goes to a epistemological wrinkle that the Republicans have exploited in bad faith for 25 years and that Trump's neuroses cause him to hammer on indefinitely.

    The problem is that "lie" and "liar" are terms that are both subjective and objective terms. If I tell you the Packers won Super Bowl XXXII, is that a "lie" or just a mistake? Because if I "lied," I'm a "liar," and that's a value judgement on your part.

    Trump exploits this every time he makes an outlandish statement. If you call him a liar, you're "unfair" and "biased" because you're making a value judgement, but if you don't take a stand, he gets a freebie.

    I don't know how I remember this (maybe a class in my polisci minor), but it was a well-known fact that Don Young's (deceased first) wife REFUSED to eat farm-raised salmon.
