The same way he quantifies a 2-3% raise for service members as 10%. The same way he quantifies laughable approval ratings as overwhelming support. The same way he quantifies losing the popular vote as a landslide win. The same way he quantifies self-inflicted tarriffs devastating the agricultural sector to the point…

What President Trump wants or doesn’t want regarding the budget is irrelevant - it is Congress, and only Congress, that controls the purse. The previously agreed to budget (before Fox News got to Trump) can be passed by this Congress or the next Congress without acquiescing to Trump - all it needs to pass is a mere…

How does he even quantify this shit?

Even more than the wall, even more than the casual cruelty, even more than the lying, this is what Trump’s base craves and demands: Retribution.

Do the Dems realize that most of the people not getting paid are Democrats?

When I did restaurant and retail work I ALWAYS worked on the holidays. Better money, and I didn’t have to deal with my shit relatives. Customers always seemed nicer too.

My kid came down with a fever last night and we were out of town.

Until it says “JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!” on it in giant, angry letters I will continue to be offended.

“Starbucks appears to be striving for a lukewarm medium”

I’m still waiting for my Star of David cups, Starbucks. How are Jewish people supposed to inform everyone else that we are Jewish and also drink coffee??

While they don’t technically need phones, you’ll be kneecapping their chances at a healthy social life. And yes, I’m fully aware of how that sounds, but the genie is out of the bottle and it’s not going back in. The phone is the medium through which young people primarily interact these days.

When *I* was a kid, you had to pick up the old Konica and buy some 35 mm film and have a friend take nudes FOR you. Then you’d have to go down to the pharmacy or photo hut and drop your film into an envelope with all your info on it.
