I’m not as optimistic as you but I would love it to take down Trump and Pence. Ryan unfortunately is a sweetheart of the R’s. Unless we can turn things blue in 2018 it will be difficult to stop him. I feel like if Ryan is in more R’s would like stick with R’s in 2018. Just a thought.

Ivanka is married though.

That is a lot of assumptions you’re making. How do you know abuse wasn’t involved in their relationship? How do you know she has such a support system? I will not blame her for how she chose to navigate this situation. I am only happy that she can finally move on.

I’m sure he is still bound by national security not to say certain things related to the investigation or other aspects of his job. He would also be dumb to spill those secrets now rather than allowing the investigation to take it’s course. Litigating the situation in public doesn’t achieve conviction or impeachment.

I was under the impression that the school was more secular as opposed to Liberty or some other religiously affiliated school. I understand they are still Catholic and likely attract Catholic families but I didn’t think the faith was so entrenched in their policies. Looks like Pence was runner up to the Prez. I also…

I’m down with Kamala.

The seems an odd way to say this. I don’t believe people typically have spasms of violence. It may have been sudden and unexpected but spasm seems weird here.

And most minimum wage jobs don’t allow for negotiation on salary or benefits. It’s a take it or leave it sort of environment.

I understand that raises are not guaranteed. I went for years without any. What I’m saying is that what I’m earning at my job now would not be equal to what I would have earned ten or twenty years ago. Not because of raises and I understand many jobs haven’t kept up with the cost of living. Minimum wage is the same as…

Good points! I had my heart set on DT losing and running off to start his own TV network, as was rumored, so the rest of us never had to hear him again.

Yes I agree with disparity in salaries by location. In my area $31k isn’t unheard of for many folks with years on a job.

What? Don’t people’s base salaries go up over the years? How is raising minimum wage different from the base salaries increasing for a position?

This is delightful:

This scares the crap out of me. I already couldn’t handle the confined space and being trapped but looking at that I can’t stop thinking about what would happen if the ship was damaged and those people are stuck down there.

Responded to someone else that I’m ok with Impeachment and taking control in 2018. Impeachment, even if started, won’t move quickly. We can hopefully wrangle Pence with 2018. I don’t know that it hurts to get started with Impeachment. Just my two cents.

Oh I think he would say it to a white woman too. I think white man may be the only one qualified to receive a considerate response from him, even if it’s “no comment.”

I thought the whole House is up in 2018.

Oh yeah... conservatives have been trying to drag us back to the Gilded Age for years. Now they have the power to do so.
