255 is here.

1. There's no Trump silver lining.

If there's a Trump silver lining, it's that the Clintons, who are the people most responsible for moving the Democrats rightward are finally....ah, hell...

2. Obamacare.

3. Obama's Record on Inequality

4. A Good Piece About Prison in Small Towns.

5. There was a mass shooting at a Florida airport.  The obvious result of that should be...

More guns in Florida airports.

6. 

And one more...

That's all for this time...I'll be back next time...if there is a next time...
