The question I want answered is “What changed?” Why is this coming out now? What’s driving Christie to suddenly turn on Trump?

Anytime someone suggest getting rid of the Senate, I like to remind them of the tyranny of the majority.  If California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, & Michigan got together and decided to turn Idaho into the national landfill..there is fuck all anyone could do about it.  Those 9 states…

I seem to remember six-ish years where there was the same party in charge of the White House and the Legislature that would have benefited from a couple extra senators.  They weren’t able to get much done.

China administers certain cities as special administrative districts (Shanghai for one) as separate from their “home” state in order to manage industry & workers separately from others in the state.  I’m sure if it works so well there, it will be something we can model after.

I’ve had the opposite experience.  We were looking for a new car last year, so we did a lot internet searches and “i’m interested” emails.  I couldn’t get dealers to stop emailing me.  I just wanted to ask a couple questions and get an upfront price.  They kept sending up follow ups “are you still interested?”, “we…

Are there any Trump properties in California?  Maybe they denied him a permit so he’s pissy about that.

That’s an example of bad flow. The shit the boss is shoveling is rolling downhill. I agree not every boss understands we’re all not robot; I’ve worked for a few of those. I’m more concerned about the guy who gets sick every couple months, comes in and coughs on everyone, then two weeks latter half the department has a…

I’m of the same mind about movies.  If it will look just as good in my living room in 6 months when I steam it, I won’t pay $8 to see it today.  Superhero movies look worse up close with 4k, they are made to be seen from afar.  It drives my wife nuts I grumble about going to see Cryin’ & Feelings IV with Julia Streep…

Perfect attendance is the sign of mental disorder.  If you think you are that vitally important for your org, you either need to check your ego or the org needs to re-asses its workflow.

Greggggg Williams is the Donald Trump of head coaches.

I like the EVE stories, but I just don’t have the time to play.  It feels good there is something like this out there, but it’s just not my bag, baby.

One of the hallmarks of a good NCO is he can curse for 20 minutes straight without repeating himself or being profane.

So much with this. She’s come off the rails at any number of events. Remember how much shit Marco Rubio got for taking a sip of water? If Pelosi has a senior moment during a very necessary rebuttal of Trumps lack of facts, all anyone’s going to talk about is her speech patterns, not her content.  Part of being a star…

But is it really a lie if you believe it? I think Trump is so disassociated from reality and he has surrounded himself with sycophants who buy into what he says that he doesn’t have a clue what reality on the ground is like for those of us in flyover country. Because he has been running a monolithic organization with…

The EU is not the new US. They are riven with internal issues, 4 players nearly avoided bankruptcy just a few years ago, and one of their major players is negotiating an exit.

I’ve been advocating elected officials can’t work in any lobbying capacity, either a firm or a PR type job in a private corporation, until the same number of years they were a public servant have passed.  If you want to do 20 years in the senate, you have to wait 20 years to lobby any government official.  That should…

If he claims he won, who’s to say he didn’t? He makes facts up all the time, just add this one to the list. He can claim he got what he wanted, whatever it happens to be because he’s the best negotiator and the Dems caved to him.

Anytime a politician wants a new/ expanded program, we should all ask where the money comes from.  I agree a New Green Deal is a good idea, but how do we kick start it?  FDR suspended the gold standard to allow him to print money.  Are we going to borrow or tax more to start the Green Deal?  It’s an important question…
