The preferred Plan A is probably to bully and pressure at least 50 of the likely 53 GOP senators into supporting his nominations, to establish dominance over Congress and castrate its role as a check on presidential power while making the notion of “advise and consent” an 18th-century anachronism.

How many people rotated through his cabinet the first term? How many staffers walked away?

This is a loyalty test. A hazing. Get on board and confirm the worst possible choices or be relegated to the trash heap with Cheney and Kinzinger.

Trump’s ego requires that these fools be confirmed but I doubt half of them make it to the midterms.

Do not work more than what is advantageous to you. This is your own limit and can change throughout your career. There will be times when working extra hours may get you to the next level, this is a path you can pursue or walk away from.

When I was just starting off in my career, my mentor told me about Scott as a cautionary tale. Scott was a hard working, and dedicated employee. He started with the company on a factory floor. He was known for always working overtime when it was available, and the first person to call if you needed someone to cover a shift.

The company was investing heavily in IT and people it determined were intelligent enough and dedicated enough to do the job. Scott was brought into a training program, sent to some classes, and pulled from the factory floor to an office job.

Scott maintained his work ethic, even though he was salaried he found value in working extra. He felt he was noticed and that his efforts were appreciated. He was also able to pick up new skills and knowledge much faster than his coworkers because he worked more hours.

Scott never married. He tried dating a few times, but the women he dated didn’t like being second to his career. Scott lived modestly and talked to his parents a few times a month.

Scott was the first one to arrive and the last to leave. The joke around the office was that he had a bed under his desk. He eventually got into gaming, late nights playing started to drag on him. But he was always at his desk before anyone else. Occasionally someone would catch him sleeping at his desk.

One day the police came looking for him. His parents hadn’t been able to reach him. When someone went to his desk, he was asleep, but they couldn’t wake him.

The coroner estimated he had been dead for 3 days. In that chair for 3 days. Coworkers walking by, saying good morning, jokes about not working too late. He had nothing really but that job.

This motherfucker has covered up some shit in his life. This is not far from the pastor telling the pedo he smoothed things over with the victims family and if we pray about it everything will be ok.

Remember, this is the same guy who still claims he doesn’t have a bank account. By my mind that means he’s lied on every disclosure and is likely hiding more than just a few bank accounts and investments.

I swear there are people working in the system that see this as sport. They don’t actually care what the crime is or who it is, they just want to know that someone is going to be killed.

I work for a company that had offices in Russia and has relocated many of those workers to Spain.

And if you look like you could be from the Middle East, so if you are Spanish, Italian, from the Balkans, Latin America or any other place where people aren’t pale as fuck, prepare to be insulted, threatened and sometimes violently attacked in the streets.

When I was 18, over 20 years ago, I spent 3 weeks in Southern Germany. As a white American it was the first time I experienced racism, though mild. I will never forget the look the family I was staying with gave me when I told them my last name was Italian. When the mother asked me, she was hopeful my last name was Spanish and visibly disappointed when I said Italian.

This message was brought to you by Brando. Water’s stupid.

I mean no shock that he would carry out a plan to kill people indiscriminately. What I wonder is if he could get the devices into their hands to carry out this attack, what else have they sold to Hezbollah?

Ruby Bridges is alive and well.

Corn syrup has wrecked ice cream for me. I can’t stand it and actively avoid buying ice cream with it.

I miss the old Bryer’s

Start looking for tripped GFCI outlets.

If there is no power to the switch and the breaker didn’t trip there is likely a switch with GFCI on the mix.

Another possibility could be a bad breaker (assuming you don’t have actual fuses), check this by flipping the breaker off and back on. This could also help to identify other lights/outlets on the circuit. If there is a wiring problem, knowing what other devices are on the circuit could help you track the problem.

While not impossible, it is unlikely that a wire has been severed. It is possible that a wire came loose at another outlet or fixture in the circuit.

If there was a true short, the breaker would be tripped out fuse blown and it would continue to trip.

Problem exists between breaker and wall switch.

I vaped for quite a while. Got a bit addicted to the tinkering and the juice hunting. It can be a fun hobby which probably makes it a bad way to quit if you’re anything like me.

I worked myself down on the nicotine levels until I was at zero.

Relapsed back to cigarettes after not having vaped for a few months due to stress.

Finally stopped cold turkey. Didn’t go back to vaping just decided it was time.

Things that ultimately helped:

• Having a reason to quit that I could remind myself of daily as an affirmation.
• My partner was also quitting, I needed her to stop and needed to be there to support her efforts.

If I was going to do it again, I’d probably look into Fum or something similar. Probably add some nicotine gum at the start to ease the chemical addiction.

They can, they just can’t find anyone with the mental acumen to attend more than 10 weeks of training.

Just because Harris endorsed it doesn’t make it a good idea.

It could actually be a criminal one but the speculation is that the burden of proof is much higher and this was the DA getting it on the books before the election. Nothing prevents them from bringing criminal charges after putting the evidence before a grand jury.

I’d be happy if they just deported him. I mean jail time and heavy fines would be the dream but I’ll take him having to leave the country. Isn’t that what they want us to do with foreigners that commit crimes anyway?

Edit: Reminded this is a civil case so no chance of jail or deportation. Bit of doesn’t hurt to have dreams.

Just to clarify because I had to dig a bit deeper here. The federal prosecutor who struck a deal with Epstein in 2008 was Acosta. Not Barr as I had assumed.

I do find it interesting though that William Barr was counsel at Kirkland & Ellis in 2009. This is the firm that represented Epstein in 2008.

Roo got jacked! Pooh still looks like he hits the honey too much.

My grandfather worked in a lab at a brewery. His job was to sample grain coming in. Rejected grain cars were sent to the cereal factories.

I hate it all. The hats, the flags, the yard signs, etc. But I also love them because I easily know the people I don’t want to be around and will never trust. The only thing more identifying is a badge.
