Interesting point. Mitch Daniels abandoned the idea of running for president because his wife once left the family for a few months or years (I forget) to live with some other dude. So it wasn’t his evident inadequacy as White House budget director or as Indiana governor that deep-sixed his bid, it was the fact that…

Just send thoughts and prayers, it’s more impactful that way.

That was pretty overtly hostile for Minnesotans

Also abandoned: commas.

I thought this obituary was going to be for someone named Ruth.

Yep, and 1998 was twenty fucking years ago, not 10. What the fuck is that bullshit.

Not exactly on topic, but I feel like 2013 (and 2008, for what it’s worth) WAS yesterday, and I’m just now realizing that was 5 and 10 years ago and is this what middle age is like?

Go Bucks! Fond memories of BW3. I still call it that when I go to the local one in San Jose. Nobody knows what I’m talking about.

The north remembers. And by north, i mean central Ohio.

Some of us still refer to it as BW3's......and remember what the 3rd W is!

If the employer is making a political statement and forcing employees to agree with it or stay quiet, that’s a civil rights issue.

and throw in the fabulous Maya Wiley!!

And Christiane Amanpour.

I reported that tweet and this is what I received

FYI this is not me giving up, just need to rant.

I now know the names of the last 3 FBI directors, the current deputy director, AND the guy he just replaced. 2 years ago, the only FBI agents I knew were Mulder and Scully. This is a problem.

I’m 46, have been driving for 30 years, and I have never owned a new car. Usually I buy something that’s 9-10 years old and drive it for years or until the next one comes along. By that same token, most of the stuff I drive has been over 100k miles when I got it, with just a handful of exceptions.

This idea of values the IT in Chief is pedaling is just a distraction for his base. DJT does not care at all for anyone outside of his own ego, but needs it stroked. He was a CEO, he was the host of a messed up reality show, and now he is President. He needs to feel like a winner, regardless, and now he is in a…
