I worked as a contractor for the DoD for about 8 years. You could have entire conversations in acronyms.

The one thing that most economists agree on is that a President has VERY LITTLE effect on the economy. But it doesn’t stop all blame and praise from going to them.

So, you’re saying the current administration and most of the Republicans in Congress should be fired then.

So, I was heading to the airport and going through security during the speech. Got to the gate to hear “and God bless the USA.” I did, however, get to see the whole Democratic response. Can I just pretend Joe Kennedy is president and that was the State of the Union?

I hear that’s a good way to avoid sharks.

Haha, my exact thought upon reading that line was “I’d rather not.”

You mean like Kevin Zeitler? Or should we go back a couple of years and give them Alex Mack and Mitchell Schwartz to go with Thomas? We’ve tried that. The QB needs to be above SOME kind of Mendoza line. Hoyer is the closest we came, but SOMEBODY had to see how my namesake could do.

If Florida is America’s wang, wouldn’t the panhandle be America’s grundle? I always though of Jersey as the armpit, underneath Maine’s Nazi saluting arm.

My grandparents and my aunt and uncle each spent about 15-20 years as missionaries in Haiti. They spent most of the time in not particularly nice parts of the country. My three cousins, however, went to school in Port-au-Prince, which actually has some very nice areas. My cousin married a Haitian man, who was accepted…

I also love that we have the quote from the ICE Director saying that California is putting politics ahead of safety right before the quote implying that he’s putting politics ahead of safety. As a Californian, I’m just gonna say, they better bring their big boy pants to this one.

Um, what? “Only” 20% thought about quitting, so the other 80% obviously resent her? That’s quite the leap in logic.

Didn’t you just describe the modern American Dream?

So, I’m aware that Eleanor is a young woman on the internet, and not a young man in a video, but I think this CLEARLY requires a months long fraud investigation!

If things an excited kid on TV states are THAT important and taken literally, well, I guess we should all like turtles, too.

Isn’t this also a major concern? It wasn’t mentioned in the article, but Netflix just upped their fees (ostensibly “to add more of what you like to watch”). Is there any thought that this fee hike isn’t to feed the kitty to pay Comcast’s bribes? And shouldn’t we be expecting this from all streaming services? Even if…

Admittedly, I work from home these days, so I may not be the best work shit apologist, anymore. But when I’m back up visiting our offices, we have a number of single room bathrooms, where you get the whole room to yourself. Great way to kill a half hour on your phone.

I mean, if there’s a Statue of Liberty...

But then you don’t get paid to poop.

GET OUT OF MY BRAIN! This was the EXACT post I was planning, even down to the age!

And now I see you already said what I just replied as well. The best part is, Immaculate Conception became a dogma in 1854, back when the US was lighting the keg of gunpowder vis a vis slavery.
