If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

True story: he spoke at my HS graduation. (Jill was a teacher at my public HS.) it was 98 degrees and humid. 2 ppl passed out.

He kept going.

A coworker was convinced the stupid Santa thing was actually Santa like 3 years ago, not a skinny drunk guy in 1967.

There was a time, not so long ago in fact, when I had empathy.

Now? LOL at these people. LOf'nL.

CONSTANTLY. All day, everyday. You know the last time I thought about transgender people or genitals in public bathrooms?

Never.

Personally, I'd be leery to live in a house that actuaries deem uninsurable (In other words, a very high percentage chance of being destroyed.)

But that's just me.

Yeah, the article gives zero reason to think he voted for Trump.

If this is "almost chaotic," I wonder what kind of chaos he's seen in his life.

my wife and I refer to our sons as "crumbums" and now I feel a little bad about that.

there's this very weird situation created wherein ppl like me & my wife catch ourselves saying, "we're lucky our son has this particular genetic syndrome/disability b/c it's so much easier to get services/SSI, etc." and then realize that no, that doesn't really make us lucky, lol. (We have to lol!)

All true, thanks.

As for people who think it's easy to game the system, I can only give my experience: it is not. At all. The sheer amount of paperwork and in-person visits and reporting required is unreal. Signed,

Nepo babies gotta stick together I guess.

Anyway, "I'm the same type of leader at Trump" should disqualify her from any chance of anything anyway.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

read a thing the other day that I loved: The profit driven media "loved" the campaign, love the insanity, etc., as it got clicks and views.

But now there is a large % of us who have just said screw it and those views and clicks are disappearing fast. Good. Assholes.

it's so counterintuitive, but it works. It has been a revelation for my wife.

lol. I wonder if it's still there. IIRC, it was in the short hallway to the bathrooms too, which is even funnier.
