The moon is actually made of barbecued spare ribs.

More than likely, it’s simply damage control from some of accusations in the WP report. His wife got a cushy new job after the election, and I’m sure he’s trying to avoid being thrown under the bus now.

I have a feeling we’ll see the Tim Burtification of Kojima here. Should be interesting, say the least.

And here is a study from the ESA that corroborates the idea that increased wages only increase productivity, motivation, workplace stability, and show a benefit for the economy at large.

That’s why this is all so fucked. The same people who fight tooth and nail against a minimum wage increase are the same groups trying to get people off of food stamps and welfare. This is how that fucking happens.

No, because it goes up to less than a decade ago. This isn’t FROM seven decades ago, but includes seven decades of data. This takes into account things like living in a modern society, automation, and more. Effectively, data shows us that increasing the minimum wage is not only healthy, but also necessary, for a…

Seven decades of data say that isn’t what happens.

White guy here, and I used to get pulled over allllll the time after leaving my girlfriend’s apartment in college (looking super high/drunk) and never once got more than a warning. FYI, I wasn’t actually high, it was just early in the morning and I am not a morning person.

My friends and I are starting a pool on how long he’ll last before either impeachment or resigning for “health reasons.” I have him at a 1 1/2 years into his term.

I think you may be right. Pence would at least be smart enough to realize how toxic the guy is for the whole party at this point.

We could survive Pence. We could fight against Pence, because we at least know what to expect from the fucker. Trump... I don’t know what the fuck to expect from him anymore.

That is fucking terrifying. There is no way in hell his team shouldn’t have met with the Pentagon before Putin.

I am a very salty sailor right now, and probably will be for some time. It seemed appropriate.

I’m gonna give it till maybe a year into his term. He’ll probably want at least one SotU address, and some sort of “victory” to claim. Gutting ACA, curtailing reproductive rights, etc...

Exactly. I’m watching a press conference with the President right now on Facebook, and the comments really show me what his supporters want most from him in regards to LGBT rights and such, whatever he may feel on the subject. His new bosses will do what the fundies want, and he’ll go right along with it, pretty much.

Maybe Trump won’t be able to dodge treason charges.

Yup, I had forgotten about that until today. We are all fools, so why not have a racist jester acting as our nations figurehead?

This is the most frightening quote to me.

I’ve always had a problem with that thinking, too. It’s like having the hospital janitor performing heart surgery. Yeah, you’ll have a fresh set of eyes looking at the problem, but probably won’t make it through the surgery.
