thank you for this. i forget just how biased the material i read can be sometimes and can make things seem so much worse. not that trump isn’t a fucking disaster, but this was giving me a rage stroke. glad to know it is a normal thing for president’s to do and not trump thinking he is king.

Yeah, but still — this angle about it being some kind of weird national holiday that we have never seen before was just bunk. We can’t just change it to “We don’t like the name” and pretend that was what it was about.

Thank you for the link. Obama’s was about us as a people coming together. Trump’s came off as jingoistic and I think we’ve all had enough of that.

Nah, it sounds weird at first, because the headlines are playing it up like it’s a national holiday, but it is actually a normal tradition. Presidents name their inauguration days. Obama did it, too.

that’s a good question. Would be good to know its a fair comparison.

Sure, but at least they’ll be well protected from grizzly attacks.

The idea of school children having to possibly go through nuclear fallout drills in 2017 has really forced the point of how bad we’ve failed them

Dude. It’s so bad here. I feel your pain but IT’S SO BAD HERE.

Pick after pick have shown themselves to know literally nothing about the jobs or fields they’re about to take over.

Bowie as Elrond!

It sounds like Comcast needs to have training done by the local power company on safe working conditions in all weather situations and the local, state and federal regulations on blocking traffic.

I am certain that no lineman would have gone up in the bucket truck with the way the road closure was setup. They don’t…

David, thanks for staying on top of this and keeping us frustrated TDI owners informed. Your coverage is the best I’ve seen.
