  12-03-2018 23:30
  Less than two weeks ago, President Donald Trump came up with a name for congressional Republicans who wouldn’t support higher age limits for any gun purchases: cowards.

  Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., sees his party gone mad (as in bonkers, but as in furious as well). The GOP has adopted the worst possible economic policy – tariffs and rent-seeking (i.e. countries now come begging for exemptions). It has come to admire Vladimir Putin, attack a free press and reflect, at best, indifference to misogyny and racism. I’m talking not only about President Donald Trump but also the millions in the GOP who voted for him and still defend him. Trump – in all h

You focus, Snyder said, on what you can control.It’s the same advice he gives to the Jazz (37-30) locker room, which is on a stretch as hot as any team in the NBA right now and yet are still — still — looking on from the back of a crowded Western Conference play
