I have the TV on all day because I work from home, I can’t stand silence, and I’m addicted to the news.

I’m so confused. Does he have any idea what’s really happening in the world that the rest of us live in? Does he truly believe he’s gotten things done??? Is everyone around him just telling him bullshit to keep him from having crazy breakdowns all day???

As obnoxious as they are, I don’t want them taken out first. I want the government officials who put us in this mess at the top of the list.*

I hope things get better with the heavy load you’re bearing. Sending Kinja hug!

God, I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through all this. Everyone I know (plus me) would be terribly hurt by an ACA repeal. The government has no understanding of people who work hard but still struggle to get by and need social safety nets. The income inequality in our country is INSANE. I finally understand how and…

It’s really fucking pathetic that GOP majority considers it a failure to have the work with the Democrats in a bipartisan way. They want to push through their bills, their way, no input or process followed. It’s been going on ever since Obama became president, and the GOP vowed to make him a one-term president (we all…

Oh, but there are so many more hallmarks you can use... example:

A pencil SKIRT, right?

Does the twin (I think it’s Ashley, the one wearing the long lace sleeves) look really different facially? If it wasn’t them together, posing together as they do, I wouldn’t have known who she was.

Maybe the media can’t, but I, for one, can absolutely deny her class, poise, and patriotism.

Thank you for the update. I wish the news was better!

Making very sad face right now. Things certainly were tense at ATFR show.

Thanks for the links, I had no idea!!

The thing that’s really awful is that McCain doesn’t want to vote for the bill because he objects to the “process” of the senate right now, and wants it to go back to the usual rules and order of writing and passing bills (debates, amendments, etc.). He opposes that the senate is being dictated to do POS POTUS’s…

Yes, I won’t breathe easily until 12:01 am, 10/1. Don’t take your eyes off those motherfuckers for one minute.

I don’t know how all of this can go on. Nothing is affordable anymore.

I work for myself too. My quality of life and stress level have become much better than they used to be, but I make way less $ than I used to, and I work pretty much all the time when I’m home. There’s a trade-off to be sure. I’d be in deep shit if I didn’t have some savings, but that won’t last forever. With the way…

Don’t forget hiring people as “independent contractors” or just under the minimum required hours to make sure they’re not going to be eligible for benefits.

It’s gotten way worse- wages are rising in the top earning tier. It’s all fucked up. I do know what the answer is... BOOTSTRAPS!!!

There’s a great book by Barbara Ehrenreich called “White Collar Slavery” about how since the rise of technology and the ability to connect with the office 24/7, salaried employees, even when paid well, pretty much never leave the office. If you break down salaries to per hour basis, they start falling into the lower…
