General distaste for Washington. The belief that he wasn't going to do the things he was saying.

if its a household budget and the house includes a lady, women are kinda expected to be seasonal and on trend more than men and if your runnin in even peripherally ~*society~* circles thats a significant social concern for you

if you make 250k net in manhattan with no generational wealth and two kids to feed, you are not even remotely peripheral society, you're middle class at best. 250 is nassau county or jersey money and you shouldn't pretend otherwise

I had to stare at it a little while to figure out what was going on. Like, maybe he was wearing those leather shoes with the white on the sides or something.

My republican congressman who talked to me on the phone just announced he was saying no after he told me he was still undecided :toot: .It's really because he's in a extremely blue state and has lost 10% lead over a democratic challenger every election and last election he was 4 points ahead. HES SHOOK AS HELL

i mean it's obvious at this point but the republicans may not be able to repeal obamacare because of the insane freedom caucus dipshits. like ryan's bill was dogshit that would have hosed over millions of people and these guys think it didn't go far enouigh and if you do win them over with an extreme bill you bleed a bunch of more moderate votes. almost like this was never gonna get done? i dont want trump to succeed anyway but i feel like he should call out all the freedom caucus fuckers by name, label them traitors, and then give out their cell phone numbers like he did to lindsey graham

It's not that Russia is creating these people. Trump and Le pen existed on their own before any of this. It's that they are being given resources by an outside source to amplify their reach and damage.

We should know, the US does the exact same things to countries all the time.

The 1% were fine with money controlling politics as long as it was their money.

My work gives me 1500 free hsabux per year for getting a checkup and this is pretty much the only circumstance that I can imagine them being good for anyone. Republicans touting them as the answer to anything is so absurd, as is the fact that they don't lose the vote of everyone who hears it.

If you will predictably need to spend money on a thing, even if it's not that much, you should have it in your budget. That's sort of the point of a budget.
