Seems pretty clear Burr and Tillis (and other congressional Republicans) disagree with decision to leave Afghanistan, but focusing now on the "how" of withdrawal, which is much more visceral at the moment given images coming out. #ncpol

We knew this a year ago, but it's still hard to swallow. Hopefully we can dedicate the settlement money to effective treatment options.

Yeah, I mean, no. This is Dallas laying the groundwork for even more gerrymandering, I'd rather read a "See Spot Run!" book...

On that tiresome note, here's your Onion:
