And lots of Americans still think the South Will Rise Again. Hopefully a public trial with significant evidence will convince or at least totally demoralize them. If not, and they try anything, they’ll end up getting arrested.

At Senate hearing today someone (listened on radio & missed who) straight up said that Russian intelligence will probably use the same tools against senators running in 2018. Hopefully that fear will motivate some.

A what? Like a birthday party performer? I cannot imagine what else a “professional mermaid” could be.

I think you’re right. In constitutional monarchies, the head of state & the head of government are different people. One does the symbolic stuff, the patriotism blah blah and the other handles the administration. In the US system, the President has to do both jobs and rarely (if ever) does them both well.

 What if he got a cameo in the movie?

A few people do make serious bank by being at the top. Where I used to live there was a lady who had the Mary Kay pink Cadillac. I don’t know what her income was like, but yeah. It’s possible, just not by selling crap to your friends on Facebook.

Wow. That’s a huge red flag to me. I retail a small amount of apparel at my actual business, and if one of the distributors suggested that approach I’d tell them to take a hike. I tell them exactly what products I want, in which sizes and colors.

Those things are more multi- level marketing than pure pyramid scheme, like the author pointed out, but yeah - the “make money while being a SAHM” aspect is a big thing for those companies.

Eh, somebody else will be writing it anyway.

DC has plenty of neighborhoods that are mostly black, so I’m guessing the school is a response to the de facto segregation that already exists, rather than the other way around. (I don’t follow DCPS news, so I can’t say for sure.)

And it doesn’t actually mean “poor”, either, it means blue collar lower-middle class.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Probably also because textured soy protein is really cheap, since it’s a byproduct of making soybean oil.

It says 18g protein for the whole bag, and 18g of fat/sugar per serving x 3 = 54g fat/sugar per bag. So it’d be a 3:1:3 ratio.

It’s complete unwillingness to take personal responsibility for what they say and do, and it’s shameful and childish.

Which reminds me, this whole idea that, what, Hillary Clinton could secretly build a network of tunnels under DC to commit human trafficking? Beyond just “why??????”, logistically that’s just absurd. DC is all built out underneath, or totally swampy. They can’t even build a Metro line to Georgetown.

It’d help you now, but when you got older you’d be worse off because of it allowing them to charge seniors so much more.

Well, you can’t take shit away from *your voters* who need it, at least. The GOP is veryh appy to take stuff away from people who don’t vote for them anyway.

A number of countries are doing limited trials of UBI (giving it to a few thousand people for a year or something like that) to see what happens.

Yeah, the autonomous trucks may be available in 5 years, but they won’t instantly replace existing fleets.
