Clearly, reviewing actual welfare regulations in sanctuary cities is beyond you if you’re still lacking basic comprehension of state-implemented welfare systems.

I believe you should take some grade school civics classes to understand how the electoral college, and government as a whole, functions if that is your perspective.

There is a great deal of self-harm that the journalism industry inflicted throughout this previous election. Through major media outlets outright denouncing Trump, this site listing and relisting every insult they had contrived for Trump, even down to the smash up of news stories where journalists laughed at Trump all…

This is not the case if you look at specific state programs targeted at said illegal populations. Please review laws in states with Sanctuary laws, as well as implementation of the ACA with regard to undocumented signups for more information.

Pretty sure that this is the epitome of exactly what was discussed in the article as contributing to the election loss. Out of touch neoliberalists who chose to ostracize a large voting bloc and suffered the consequences.

Well written and not whiny and apocalyptic like most other stories across the shared platform. Looking forward to reading your stuff, Kyle!

Pretty sure this has everything to do with the educational background and professional (or lack thereof) environment present in that workplace. As the type of person to read and comment on these sites, I’m obviously not a big Trump fan, but that isn’t an issue in a hyper-red state at a professional workplace. In…

From my experiences, I would say standing is respected when it is impacting you as part of a group. For example, if you work under a federal contract, or perhaps advocate on behalf of a particular cause requiring federal funding, you could write to the members of the Appropriations committee as it is relevant.

Discussi…

Your frustration is understandable, however, there is nothing actionable about complaining. It is far better to be looking ahead to who is going to be on the list of supreme court nominees and try to find the best ones. Congressional support for one individual over another may facilitate a better overall process, even…

In the majority of states, photo ID is required for a great many services including attaining replacement social security cards, registering a vehicle, a business, opening some types of bank accounts, and most employment for purposes of establishing identity and tax documentation.

Most states also have exceptionally…

Went to work. Voted in the hour between work ending and the polls closing, went to bed, went to work again. Many of us don’t get time or an option to be not focused on work during a work week - it’s work or you will not be paid/fed/etc. We can, however, whine on blogs during lunch so that’s something. :)

The popular vote is irrelevant as the electoral college is the entity that picks the president. “A majority of Americans” is a statement based off available data sets of voters, “over 50%” is meaningless as you are conflating a defined data set (registered voters) with a much larger data set (total US population of…

Shop around to find the best car insurance. My current premiums for full coverage are about $45/mo for an 8 y/o vehicle. You have to be savvy about working through the various discounts and know what you as a person are eligible for. Do you have multiple cars, homeowners insurance, renters insurance, or a family…

Political harassment at work is something typically covered by corporate policies, you might consider just reporting your harassers to HR as it usually results in more measurable progress and deterrent against harassment depending on the company and level of professionalism. Venting your frustrations to every coworker…

Term limits for POTUS were established specifically due to a true and actual fear of a tyrannical power grab. You have to keep in mind that during WWII the world was experiencing firsthand the massive impacts of multiple military-prone dictators. The 22nd amendment was put in place specifically because having the…

The impeachment method is very murky in its execution, particularly since the rule of law is not applied evenly to public elites. Good examples include the Bill Clinton perjury situation, as well as the blatant mishandling of classified matter by the George W. Bush administration elites and Clinton’s own private…

I really despise this fearmongering tactic. The nonproliferation treaty, the departments of defense and energy, and the barriers regarding the use of WMDs form a massive risk mitigation strategy that has held for much scarier moments in history (Cuban missile crisis, Soviet MIRV development, etc.). Attempting to…

This is definitely the perspective of many individuals I work with that moved away from the rust belt area. Particularly with nearly a decade long war on coal/gas/oil, many people felt the real and lasting impacts of massive recession and unemployment due to explicit targeting of these sectors.

U mad bro? Came here for the pain and misery entertainment, was not disappointed.

In general it is pretty silly to discount an entire sector due to an election. Even if some laws are changed or EPA rules are tinkered with, the fact still remains that there is a massive industry built around RCRA, TSCA, and the SWDA. That’s not going to change just because the presidential election didn’t go the way…
