I keep a bag of lollipops in the filing cabinet near where they have to be quiet. In the event that it wasn’t a drill or went on for a really long time, everyone is getting something stuck in their mouths. You have no idea how much I hate that I have a plan for that scenario.

I know - it’s one thing for a child to not get how this is awful, but for an adult to have ZERO self awareness that the staff (probably under paid!) literally had zero choice because it could otherwise put their jobs in jeopardy is...really fucking incredible.

“When Ivanka was a kid, she got frustrated because she couldn’t set up a lemonade stand in Trump Tower. ‘We had no such advantages,’ she writes, meaning, in this case, an ordinary home on an ordinary street.”

Fuck the police.

It’s so curious that these conspiracy hunters find themselves - the one time there does seem to be a genuine conspiracy going on - on the wrong side of it and refuse to believe it.

‘cuck’

“Shortly after “alt-right” poster-boy Steve Bannon reportedly called Jared Kushner a “cuck,” signaling an escalating battle in the White House between the “Bannonites” and the “globalists,” Donald Trump bucked his isolationist promises and launched a military strike against the Syrian government”

I hear you. I absolutely take credit for my own success, especially considering where I came from. I worked damned hard to get where I am, while many others around me did not. From that perspective, I mean “lucky” more as “fortunate.” I am very fortunate to have a safety net that others don’t.

I grew up on powdered milk and government cheese and eviction notices as a kid, so I know what it’s like for the answer to this question to be, “I don’t know, a week?” I’m fortunate enough now to have been in the same job long enough to have a 401(k) that I could drain that could buy me some time. Even still, I have…

Pew pew. More missiles!

Pew pew. Look at the missiles.

There was a point several months ago where Trump made some statements which led me to believe he was unaware that there were anti-government Syrian rebels that also weren’t ISIS. So I guess now he knows that.

The “red line” speech still stands as one of my greatest disappointments for the Obama administration, but seeing this gives me, at best, mixed feelings. The utter cynic in me sees this as a means to justify the increased defense budget, as well as a chance to misdirect from the Russia investigation and, in what I can…

From what I understand this sort of action has the potential to piss off Daddy Putin... is this not so? And if so, is this also a reason this action seems surprising?

Trying to deny your kid a thing is the best way to guarantee that they want nothing but that thing.

Because Ivanka has specifically positioned herself as a moderating influence to her father, as the “neutral” advocate for women whose goal is to bring her father around to a “better” position.

This has been my soap box for quite a while now. The two biggest hurdles are that 1) anyone can get a loan for any program & 2) you can’t get rid of the debt through bankruptcy. Since the Fed is giving out money to anyone for any reason and the lenders know they will absolutely be getting their money back, there is…

They should totally rename it that and throw it in his face.

Is he suggesting that’s a bad name? I’d visit the fuck out of that place
