Brandon Victor Dixon spoke vice president to vice president to Mike Pence last Friday night. Dixon plays Aaron Burr in the Broadway hit “Hamilton”. In real life Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel.

Pence was in the audience. Unarmed.

At the curtain call Dixon thanked Pence for coming to the show. Then offered some advice about the diverse people in America:

quote:

“…who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us . . . or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us.”

He was polite but it was maybe a little condescending. A NY Post editorial said, “The words were perfectly respectful — but the implication was downright rude.”

Pence didn’t seem to mind. He said he wasn’t offended and that Trump meant it when he promised to be president of all the people.

Some good came of Dixon’s lecture. I brushed up on my history. You’ve probably heard that some Democrats aren’t happy about the electoral college. But if you haven’t perused Federalist 68 lately, you might not have noticed that the electoral college was pretty much Hamilton’s baby.

Ok, I only know that because I saw it on Newsbusters.

I hate it for two reasons (so far)

1. I hate Rose
2. There are actually important things in the world to comment/critique/satirize and this shriveled bell-end uses it to draw a lazy, lovely cartoon that no one but grandpa thinks is amusing.

gently caress off and have your eventual heart attack, Rose.

There's a tiny, tiny bright side of working Thanksgiving, holiday pay. Time and a half wasn't worth it though in retail.

But double time, cooking at a hospital? And I can spend one of my PLT days for it to be triple pay? Hell yeah I'll volunteer.

Fun fact: at least in my state, you need to have been with a company for six months before they're required to give you holiday pay. If some kid takes your order at the counter on the way to Christmas at grandma's, there's a pretty good chance he's doing it for flat minimum wage!

Yeah a lot of places don't do holiday pay, like where I work (a movie theater).

America!

Quick, thread, you can nail these Trumps. Who drew these? I'll give you three: Top left is Bagley, top right is Sheneman, and top middle is actually a drawing of Beavis

Like every other labor law in existence there's always a loophole and businesses abuse it every way that they possibly can.

But basically the point I was trying to make is that if you don't think Christmas starting in October is a real problem for people that has a meaningful impact on their lives, I envy you never having had to work a lovely service sector job.

As someone who works at a McJob, the fact that the insanity of holiday shopping encroaches ever further onto holidays where I want to spend time with my family is infuriating. Last year my girlfriend had to leave Thanksgiving dinner at like 4:00 because the retail outlet she work at was opening for their Black Friday sales at 6:00 PM on Thursday, in the middle of Thanksgiving.

This poo poo makes my blood boil, and I'm glad that even people like JRRRose are calling it out because making people work lovely customer service jobs in the middle of holidays is loving awful and Christmas is by far the worst offender.

I don't advise looking at this one too long. The perspective is off just enough to slowly drive you mad.

As I understand it, albeit mostly from secondhand summaries, the point of the recount is to reinforce and reaffirm voting checks and standards, and is not in any way an attempt at (or expectation for) overturned outcome.
