That would probably genuinely be a good spin in response to the approval numbers his staff faked.

Weird to go from “I don’t understand the problem” to “what should we do about it” only to end up with “actually just don’t say anything here” but ok.

I think we all know that those names were in extremely poor taste and would likely preclude us from running for office if it ever got out. But I’m not sure why it’s coming up now unless people are gonna get banned for it or be forced to apologize for it or something.

Are you raging at me just to rage at someone? I’ve been incredibly consistent, and you still haven’t really said what you think we should do about it, but ok.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

my buddy went to tulane when JP Lossman was the QB of the team, and he went to Buffalo and played for like a second

he called me after the draft laughing his rear end off

oh, also:


quote:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday announced a major reversal of the US' longstanding policy on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, rejecting a 1978 State Department legal opinion that deemed the settlements "inconsistent with international law."

The announcement, which breaks with international law and consensus, is the latest in a string of hardline, pro-Israeli moves that are likely to inflame tensions between the Trump administration and Palestinians and widen the divide between the Trump administration and traditional US allies in Europe.
"After carefully studying all sides of the legal debate, this administration agrees with President Reagan: the establishment of Israeli civilian settlements in the West Bank is not, per se, inconsistent with international law," Pompeo said, citing President Ronald Reagan's 1981 assessment that the settlements were not "inherently illegal."

If he holds the country hostage and says drop the impeachment or no budget that’s an impeachable offense right?

In another installment of "Trump just does whatever," apparently I'm now a recipient of the National Medal of Arts:

quote:

President Donald J. Trump will present the 2019 National Medals of Arts in conjunction with the National Humanities Medals on Thursday, November 21, 2019, in the White House at 6:00 PM EST.

Mary Anne Carter, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, said, “The talent, dedication, and creativity of these recipients have made an enduring mark on the arts in America and they now join a remarkable group of others honored over the past decades. The National Endowment for the Arts congratulates them on this honor.”

The official citations for the 2019 National Medal of Arts recipients are:

Alison Krauss for making extraordinary contributions to American music. Blending bluegrass, folk, gospel, and country into a unique style, she has entertained and enriched the souls of millions.

Sharon Percy Rockefeller for being a renowned champion of the arts, generous supporter of charity, and a pioneer of new ideas and approaches in the field of public policy.

The Musicians of the United States Military for personifying excellence in music and service to country. From concert halls to war zones, these extraordinary patriots have inspired and uplifted their fellow Americans over generations with their incredible courage and breathtaking musical talent.

Jon Voight for his exceptional capacity as an actor to portray deeply complex characters. Captivating audiences, he has given us insights into the richness of the human mind and heart.

Usually, the National Endowment for the Arts works with the National Council on the Arts to come up with a list of nominees to recommend to the President. Trump didn't hand out any awards his first two years in office, and this year he blew the NEA off and came up with his own list of things that he likes, namely rich people, troops, Jon Voight and I guess he figures his voters must love Alison Krauss or something.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Receiving an award for the arts from a man who skips to the fight scenes in Bloodsport has to break some kind of irony barrier that the universe had installed in reality.

quote:

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

That “take effect” part is important from what I understand?

edit: it’s something like the previous continuing resolution sets congressional pay to 0 when it expires so it can’t do that unless it runs across an election or something like that?

the best part is a federal court will never hear a case about it because they’re closed in a shutdown and it’s moot after the shutdown is over
