He's a family friend and last time he was in town, to speak at the Tulane med school graduation, I had to fight down the urge to tell him that he looks like a bald Beavis

This whole thing is gold. quote:Eric Trump and his siblings filed amicus-curiae briefs in Trump v. United States, in which the President attempted to have the Twenty-Second Amendment overturned, on the ground that it violated his First Amendment right to campaign for a third term. He lost that case, 9–0, as even the justices most supportive of Trump explained that he really couldn’t do that. lmbo

Mokelumne Trekka posted:so weird to hear optimistic news about the economy on NPR on a regular basis then see charts with 20-30% of millennials living at their parent's house and stuff like this: THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who felt this way and that I was the crazy one. It's like there's this elephant in the room of deepening income inequality, stagnant wages, etc. and yet NPR et al are acting all optimistic about the economy getting better. It's practically willful ignorance from the way the media portrays the economy now.
