Being prepared, my friend, requires going within and connecting to our Creator to self-evolve ourselves beyond our mammalian pack-oriented, alpha-dog dynamics in order to transform our competitive societies into truly cooperative societies beyond all our ethnic, form of religion, sexual orientation and identification…

He doesn’t want a deal. This is all just smoke and mirrors. Since Reagan’s time, Republicans have been trying to create a Federal Government “small enough to drown in a bathtub.” Apparently eroding the entity that can stand up to big donors and major corporation slowly has not been quick enough for the republicans.…

I dunno. I find the news of the last few days particularly chilling. We should look beyond the surface and see that a horrifying triangle has been built over the last few months that has the potential to shut all of us out of the functioning of government. The unholy triad is headed by Mitch McConnell, who is…

6. You keep publicly insulting the people you’re negotiating with.

King should be upset. Racism and bigotry is the core value of the Republican Party. It is beyond hypocritical for Republicans to pretend otherwise. After 2012 the Republicans had a choice which way they could go as a party. There was a report that warned them of the coming death spiral if they didn’t do a better job…

Liz Cheney–you can’t put her in the category of ever being a conservative again

6. You insult those you make a deal with.
7. You lie about just about everything.
8. You don’t care about relationships and will do it again in a heartbeat.

Hey Dad...want some company?

“I did all the shit I said to do in my book, and that I used to do to my contractors, customers, and investors when they objected to my stiffing them, except the Democrats in Congress don’t run a small business I can directly threaten and bankrupt. Do they? No? Shit. That was my main play.

As much as Trump needs to own all this shit and it’s his fault, the dude that is escaping way too much of the blame is Mitch McConnell, he has bills sitting right in front of him passed by the House and passed by the Senate previously, that they could vote on and end it right now, but instead of actually doing his job…

Let’s get Donnie in to the federal institution that can give him the help and protection that he needs and justice demands.

“We are getting crushed!” Mr. Trump told his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, after watching some recent coverage of the shutdown, according to one person familiar with the conversation. “Why can’t we get a deal?”

“Why can’t we get a deal?” -

I don’t even have anything snarky to say about this. It’s all just too damn disgusting.

“Once he was released from our custody, he was under the domain of ICE. Where they take him is their process,” Kent County Undersheriff Chuck DeWitt told NBC. “Our procedures were followed.”

Shut ICE down. Revert to the old pre-2001 paradigm. And impeach Trump.

You know what they say about Marine veterans. They all look alike.

Under the Hatch Act, federal employees while on duty/on federal property cannot engage in partisan political activity (among other restrictions). Generally speaking, you can’t say anything for or against someone running for office. However, you can speak for or against a specific issue. So in broadest terms, while at…

Um, stupid question, but is this allowed?

It sounds like Average Anna has a pretty good time until she gets married and has kids.  That was obviously her mistake.
