That depends. If people go to vote in 2018 and Congress switches sides, it wouldn’t surprise me to see hearings reopened (or opened in some cases) and ultimately Trump impeached and a lot of his administration charged as well. If they don’t, then I expect we’re all rightfully and truly screwed.

It’s probably fair to say that a Hawii (R) is a little to the left of a West Virginia (D) now.

It may be as simple as she doesn’t have strong feelings on that issue, and so toted the party line. That’s sort of what the point of parties is. You have a platform, and, if you’re a representative, you vote the platform when it isn’t something you believe in fighting. That’s why parties have Whips. I think she was…

I showed that trick to someone who basically lived on rice and chicken. He’d make up a bunch of it on Monday and take it to work all week and by the end of the week, he was basically eating dried, hot, rice. He was amazed at what a difference it made.

I’ve told that story to my (GOP) senator and congressional rep (as well as the democratic senator in my state, but I have just a ton of faith in him). I got back, from the senator, a lovely email telling me about how the GOP plans will help open up choices by repealing the ACA. Totally missed the point. My useless rep…

Creamy peanut butter, grape jelly, and a little coconut milk are a base of a truly amazing wing sauce.

You seem to believe that people fundamentally opposed to government can be trusted to govern. How naive.

I read a lot of left-ish sites back in the day and they were pissed Obama didn’t start at single payer to make the GOP bargain. Instead, he took the Heritage Foundation’s health plan, which the GOP had long backed, and said, “Fine. Here’s what you’ve all wanted for years.” And the GOP couldn’t take yes for an answer.…

Corporations are people, too, right? Therefore, they can be assholes (and look, so many of them are!)

My son was born with a congenital heart defect. Nothing we did caused it. Nothing genetic caused it. Apparently, it wasn’t environmental. 5 different doctors explained to us, very patiently, that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it, and nothing we did caused it. It’s just a crap roll of the dice.

Since the teacher didn’t know what it meant, I’m betting that they thought it could have been some sort of racial slur or something like that. Communication with parents isn’t a big deal here. The teacher is just saying, “I don’t know what this means, so you might want to talk to your kid and make sure you do.” If she…

Married, quite happily, for almost 20 years, with a 3 year old son. She digs me even with the sadly square and formal tie (and even digs that I’m not turning on the boyish rakish charm, ‘cause she likes her geek). But I will pass this advice on to my son in about 16 years or so. That’s going in the“Dad has randomly…

When I wear a tie, it’s almost always because I’m in a business setting (or, maybe, something like a wedding or funeral) and so being from accounting is probably a feature, but I accept that for some, a four in hand has a boyish, rakish, charm that is appropriate.

Personally, if I have a tie, I go for a half Windsor. A four in hand always looks crooked to me (even in that picture you provided, it looks like it’s poking off to the left). A half Windsor is even. I’ll grant it’s a little harder than a 4 in hand to tie, but I find I get better results. To each their own. But I…

I have no special knowledge of the situation. Just what my own powers of observation can glean. But if a fashion model wife isn’t making sure that you look good, then I have trouble understanding why. She obviously knows how to dress so you don’t look like a bum. So either he just isn’t listening, or she isn’t trying…

I wear a tie about 3 times a year, if that. I know how to tie 3 different tie knots, how to use a tie clip, and to never use scotch tape to hold it down. But then, I don’t own crappy ties with the stitching failing them (or if I do, I don’t wear them).

How low the tie goes also depends a little on the knot. A Windsor will chew up a good 3 inches more than a four in hand, “Look, Mom, I just tied my first tie” mess that he’s got going on there.

I feel like this look is a subtle revenge on her part. “You treat me like shit, but I’ll make sure you look like it...”

Exactly. I’ll even bet that he keeps his ties pre-tied, hanging from a hook. He slips it on and tightens, because he got some abomination that approximates a knot and doesn’t want to lose it (but it’s not something that would shorten his absurdly long clown tie, like a half or full Windsor).

I really don’t think he’s trying to keep the tie from flying away. I think it’s because his shitty Trump Brand tie’s seam is failing, and so he’s trying to keep that from showing.
