I like the area, far western New York.
Alfred was a disappointment when I visited in August.
Please encourage me further.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

"But addiction experts say that while many of the measures will help incrementally, the investment remains meager and scattershot compared with what is needed, and with what the government spent to stem the tide of AIDS-related deaths in the 1990s."

"Some addiction specialists worry that the bill’s expansion of inpatient care will eclipse the importance of longer-term outpatient programs that focus on medication-assisted treatment, which researchers consider the gold standard for treating opioid addiction. Many residential programs for opioid addiction still don’t offer such treatment as part of their protocol, and the bill does nothing to address that."

Turn off the craving, then taper the drug dosage. 

Drugs are not good things of themselves.

There has been nothing else on the radio.

The accusers seem an honorable group.

The conclusion of the Republican majority on the Judiciary committee
has been reached.

A defeat in the full Senate is possible.
Let us have the information.

Things have changed.
Most of the people are different.

The Republican party needed a black face replacement:

Appointing Thomas was an error and a defeat.

Donald Trump has no moral legitimacy.

The Senate all volunteered.
Even the Republicans volunteered for the Republican party.

The scrum of the press is part of the job. 
Democracy is messy.

Fair enough.

Firing Rod Rosenstein would percipitate the Mueller investigation.
Trump must refrain to maintain the semblance of a Republican majority.

I do not believe Trump on politics.
