Nashville is a magnet for white SJW/PC types, it is following in the footsteps of Denver and Austin. Makes sense for Lamar Alexander to throw a bone to these people.

Exactly how many millions, billions, trillions of dollars would it take for the UN to fix the problem?


A better question:

How much would a solution be worth?

Even better question:

Can you point out an actual problem?

“The December 11, 2013 arrest … of Senator Lamar Alexander’s chief of staff Ryan Loskarn on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography (Azov Films) … represents only the tip of an iceberg which connects Alexander to a network of Tennessee politicians and businessmen associated with child sex abuse.

If true, they'll adapt, I assure you. It's what they do. And we'll adapt better than our enemies.

That does not equal a problem. Change, instability, etc., is not necessarily a negative.

Stalin was a stable leader for the Soviet union, killed millions of of his own people for example.

The climate of the permafrost regions is not very good for mankind but it's pretty darn stable. Instability would benefit mankind if it involved warming.

Change =/= negative

Not shocking. Both Lamar and Susan are old school country club liberal republicans.

Both have the lowest conservative scores of any other GOP senators by Conservative Review. He gets a depressing 17%, and she is worse with 12%!

Interesting comparison Joe Manchin III and Elizabeth Warren each scored an 18%! And six DNC Senators were as conservative or more so than Collins!

Other Republican Senators of note:
John Kennedy LA, Mike Lee UT, and Luther Strange AL 100%
Ted Cruze TX 97%
Benjamin Sasse NE 94%
Rand Paul KY 92%
Tim Scott SC 90%
Marco Rubio 74%
Jeff Flake AZ 53%
Bill Cassidy LA 47%
Mitch McConnell KY 42%
Lindsey Graham SC and John McCain AZ 33% birds of a feather!
Lisa Murkowski AK 22% 3rd worse GOP before Susan and Lamar!


Edit: 22 of the 52 GOP Senators score below 50%!
And only 16 scored a 70% or above!

GOPe rules the Senate. It's not just a McConnell problem!
