What happened is horrible and extremely sad. But, based on what’s been reported, there were a number of witnesses and there hasn’t been any indication (yet) that the driver did anything wrong.

St. Anselm, a private religious college that employs the founder of the Free State Project in a key leadership position, released a poll that had Bolduc up by 1 point.

Trump lost NH in both 2016 and 2020, so his election wasn’t our fault.

I’m looking forward to 8 days from now when I can once again forget that Don Bolduc exists.

This question is impossible to answer because it’s totally based on your personal preferences. Do you want a rural lifestyle with a lower cost of living and easy access to outdoor recreation? Or do you want to live in a larger community with more access to services, shopping, night life/social life, and a more temperate climate?

If the former, pick Bethlehem. If the latter, pick Charlottesville.

Because everybody recognizes that he’s going to lose by more than 10 points and no National GOP or PAC money is flowing into his campaign to pay for ads.

The 2010 election was the “tea party” wave and Obama’s first midterm. Anybody with a R next to their name (except Christine “I’m not a witch” O’Donnell) won that year.

In 2016, Ayotte played Hokey Pokey with the Trump supporters and the never Trump republicans…so both sides of her base ended up distrusting her. She was in a no win situation, though. If she had gone full Trump, she wouldn’t have won. If she had gone full never Trump, she wouldn’t have won.

His first thought when asked a open-ended question about “racial issues” is to start talking about crime. I wonder why that could be. Hmm…

Q: “General Bolduc, where do you stand on racial issues?”

A: “Thank you for that question. I was in the military for 33 and a half years, and dealt with everything from violations to felonies…”

Apparently, the general believes racial issues = crime.

Hey, are you impugning the journalistic integrity of…checks notes…California Refugee? Mr. Refugee clearly did a lot of research on this article including taking a screenshot of the Conservation Commission members from the town website.

The Republican PAC sees Herschel Walker and Dr. Oz as better bets than Don Bolduc.

I mean, they’re right. Don Bolduc is batshit crazy. But, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when Herschel Walker and Dr. Oz are viable Senate candidates.

RCP polling average has Hassan up by 5.4% and Republican internal polling may show a wider gap. So, the PAC is deploying these funds to places like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona…all of which are closer Senate races (according to polling) than NH.

I’m looking forward to Winter Rewind and 5nd/Senno trying to spin this as a good thing for Bolduc. Their mental gymnastics should be entertaining.

The infrastructure bill is actually having significant benefits. Dozens of local bridge projects around the state have been advanced. Also, large projects that were underfunded and languishing are now fully funded and have advanced to the engineering phase. Some communities are even receiving direct federal grants. For instance, Manchester just got awarded a $25 million grant from the infrastructure bill to make improvements throughout the City, including reconstructing the Queen City Ave/Cilley/Willow Street interchange.

I’ll take your word for it, as it sounds like you know more about the House’s parliamentary procedures than I do. My knowledge of Executive Session outcomes is limited to ITL, OTP, or OTP with Amendment. But, it sounds like there may be different outcomes for bills referred for interim study.

I don’t know anything about this bill, but according to the General Court docket, whatever version of the bill that’s coming out of Interim Study is scheduled for Executive Session on 10/18/22 at 1:30 PM. The bill won’t actually be dead unless they ITL it on the 18th.

Tom Steyer started this trend a few years ago and now it’s never going to end. Fuck you, Tom Steyer.

Congratulations! Beautiful setting for a wedding. All the best to you and your bride.

I turned it on this week. I live at 1,900 feet elevation and turned it on after the 3rd consecutive morning of hard frost.

You have real life experience dating liberal women?

I defended you elsewhere in this thread, and I do think that some of your comments are articulate and reasonable. But, saying stuff like this seems like an attempt to provoke people and the downvotes are justified. The world is more nuanced than this, and surely you realize that.

FWIW, I don’t think you deserve many of the downvotes you get. There are people here who are definitely trolls who say stuff just to provoke a reaction, but you’ve never struck me as one of those people. I probably don’t personally agree with 80% of your comments, but don’t downvote you just because I may disagree. The world becomes boring when people all have the same opinions.

Personally, I don’t really care about marijuana, but this should have been done a long time ago…and we shouldn’t be wasting federal resources enforcing marijuana as a Class 1 drug.

The first clause of the law is an umbrella that covers a lot of things (essentially the enforcement of any personal obligation), including contracts and open accounts. The second clause of the law deals with libel and slander.
