At a 2010 U.S. Navy symposium, then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said “a Ford-class carrier plus its full complement of the latest aircraft would represent potentially $15 billion to $20 billion worth of hardware at risk.”

I’ve got a much better idea. We don’t leave, we kick them out. See those blue states on the Eastern seaboard? How many of them actually *fought* to establish this country in the first place?

Ever work in rehab? Everyone deserves a chance. A lot of people can turn their shit around. But if you continue trying to help someone who doesn’t *want* your help, they will do nothing but drag you down with them.

Losing defense contractors would be much more detrimental to a state like Texas, which has only a small handful of industries, than it would be to something like California that has a pretty wide net across multiple sectors of technology, industry, entertainment, agriculture, tourism, and import/export.

I would have gone with something much darker- Have her not find out until near the end of the movie, and then she’s so angry that she kills him.

Oh, goodie- I get to throw a grenade into the discussion.

Jesus fuck.

While we’ve been distracted by Trump’s insane ramblings, the Republicans in congress have been quietly staging a coup- Passing small procedural changes that allow them to do things like lower any government employee’s salary to a dollar a year, and sell of public property without oversight.

I’ve said this before, and I guess I’m just going to have to keep repeating it.

Oh, my god- It’s like... EVERY OTHER RETAIL JOB.

We will always have elections.

I am legitimately scared for her.

People forget just how affectionate and charming narcissists can be in the early stages of a relationship.

You know, despite the amount of severe damage it will do to myself and my loved ones, when this administration eliminates Social Security I’m going to have a really good laugh at the boomers and red states who finally realize just what it is that they voted for.

I am legitimately scared for her.

Almost won the election against possibly the single worst candidate in American history. The Democrats should have been able to run a half-eaten ham sandwich and been leading by a 30 point margin.

It’s worse than that. Clinton built most of her campaign on “we can’t let Trump win”, while Trump built his on “we’re going to bring back the jobs”. It doesn’t matter that it was bullshit, people believed it because they needed to believe the jobs would come back.

The problem is that someone speaking against Wells Fargo isn’t exactly credible when have JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley among their top 10 campaign contributors.

It does actually compute in a strategic sense.

Well, there’s the emails reprinted by the New York Times, which essentially showed that the DNC had already presumed Clinton as the eventual nominee, despite their having supposed to remain neutral. There’s significant evidence that while they may not have sabotaged Sanders per se, they never actually considered him…
