Thank you. I’ve had to explain this to my mother and brother multiple times, and they still get swayed by the ads. At least my mom “isn’t going to bother voting anymore” since something like Trump is allowed to happen. Nevermind that she voted for him...maybe a permanent voting abstinence is appropriate punishment.

Yeah, I was thinking that the GOP is using race baiting to try and win the Governorship. All Virginians on the left better get off their ass and vote in this election. You are basically standing up against racism.

I live in the DC burbs (on the MD side), and that ad about sanctuary cities being havens for MS-13 makes me want to throw things at my TV on the daily. (Well, multiple times a day when I watch TV, because #electionseason.) It’s so fucking irresponsible. And horrendous. And wrong.

I really wish people would stop denigrating the Joker like this. The Joker is: highly intelligent, well dressed, thin, and often quite eloquent. Also if we’re talking Dark Knight, Joker’s also smart enough to ditch the sleazy Russian gangster.

Trump is so devoid of anything resembling love, duty, honor or empathy.

Right? He thinks that firing people and not filling appointee posts is reform.

that might be one of the differences in our nations. lets go back and look...

“I’ve lived in a lot of countries where conspiracy theories abound because people feel like they lack self-determination,” a recently retired Foreign Service officer told reporter Jason Zengerle. “And a great many people inside State are now hypothesizing about what the goal of all this is. Why are they firing people

I hope this emergency funding plan by Murray and Alexander goes through. Otherwise, the biggest insurer in the country is going to be Go Fund Me.

In the normal world you would be right, but this Tweet is exactly his gameplan. Blame the Democrats for the death of Obamacare. His base will eat it up. You can show video of him signing the EO all day long. They couldn’t care less.

Right with you. I had no insurance without “Obamacare”. My meds cost over $500 a month.

decent idea but that is a long time in the spotlight and if they don’t pick someone that has a spotless background it could backfire quickly.

I still don’t buy this. He’s an uncontrolled dumpster fire no matter what’s going on. I don’t think it’s strategy, I this its just Trump being Trump.

Read my answer to someone else - I’d RATHER eat a good, nutritious meal at my desk. A half hour of running around while everyone else is to get a greased salt bomb is not my idea of a good time. What bothers me about this entire piece is that it blames the victim of the “new” economy. There are always work arounds but

Well thank goodness you made sure to point out some of us do not have the option. Full time: Exec Assistant and Reception at a small real estate office - there IS no one else. Part time: radio - again, no breaks. So how about an article about how the American people have squandered all of their “worker’s rights” by

“in a fucking “right-to-work” state. If I wasn’t expected to “make up” the time I was taking a lunch break, believe me I’d fucking take it”

^^THIS. The erosion of unions is a bunch of medieval bullshit. The 1% have *all time record profits* and productivity, yet they want more, are greedy f*cks and will ride you to

Came to comments to say this. Third type: those of us who work straight through so we can get home at a reasonable hour and see the kids before bedtime.

I reject the “two kinds” premise with regard to this, because I was a third kind: Perennially late and, as a direct result of that, often working through lunch in order to catch up.

I don’t take a lunch break because my asshole company wants me to stop the clock while I’m lunching, so a “9 to 5" is really either an “8 to 5" or “9 to 6.” I have a family and other parts of my life that I like a lot, lot more than my job, and I have a commute through some of the worst traffic in the country. I grew

Yeah, I’ll leave the patient bleeding in the chair while I go eat leftovers from last night.
