Why are we letting haters take all of the cool stuff?

I quantify a “leader” as someone who has an actual, clear destination in mind but can also convey that to the people who are going to build it (voters, taxpayers). You do that with a detailed plan, but also with conveying the necessity through emotion and inspiration.

I’m curious about behavior over time. They give the very specific 2015 date, and then algorithm tweaks and such after. In looking at anecdotes, does it seem to get better? Have too many people dropped it for any data to be useful?  I’m a data nerd and believe Netflix will one day recommend something I want to see, so…

Salvage 1.

People want a leader. They want to be their best self. Obama got that (“Hope”). For lack of anything, Trump offers simple message (“Build a Wall”) and emotion (hate). Unfortunately, Hilary had some great plans but did not inspire.  Obama did not have the details to make his ideas a reality (he was a centrist who…

I was hoping Queen Latifa.  She’s got the broad shoulders, curves and overall presence to command any scene she’d be in.  Bewitching, she’d chew every scene.  And she can sing.

That larger issue was interesting; identity, community, belonging in a…

Real Question: Does the 14th Amendment defining citizenship for the first time assume the census is for citizen counting?

The two debates, the gerrymandering decisions, Trump daily.... This is the moment where you have to decide: Do I believe in democracy and that the vast majority of Americans are decent people?

It will end, though, at an upper middle class soccer mom. They live in the sweet spot of “justice”.

Trump inherited a pretty good economy and has not fucked it up in any perceptible way, according to data like the Dow, etc. (in part because the adults haven’t let him).

You’re friends with my sister?

My fear is it will crash right about... 2021.  Then we have to listen to Trump, etc. bray about how the (fake) economic success would have continued if....

If the cause of religious people is right, why do they so often use deception?

Why are some people little bitches about swimming in cold water, and others are all like, “The water’s fine”? (I think the latter are lying!!!!)

New Englanders really love to cry, I guess.

Teacher here. In education, the closer you are to the students the more you know about what students can do. So, teacher, principal, superintendent, department of education. And below the highest-ups are a bunch of office folks who make decisions with little or no classroom experience.
