For you history buffs who haven’t been following Donaeld the Unready on Twitter.
Make Mercia great again!
…… just cough up $223 million more:

Not that the program isn’t in need of adjustments, but…..
We’ll raise pay accordingly to make up for any pension loss due to change in the program, and won’t ever not continue with pay increases that at least match inflation. Promise.
Teachers are a large, powerful voting bloc in this state and consequently most of our state politicians are unwilling to make necessary changes to TRS.
Maybe they should ask Tom Price for some investment advice.
I guess it’s better that the key was all the way inserted into the bag than on the table, that way no one could make a copy of it from the photograph. Except this is still a huge OpSec nightmare.

Trump’s conspiracy theorist National Security Advisor Flynn now says he can’t remember if he spoke of US sanctions with the Russians in December, when increasingly it seems that he did. It’s casts Pence and Preibus as sycophants in the mold of Spicer and Conway—whatever they hear in the White House is gospel. You can’t fault Pence, because nobody loves the Bible more than his boss. And Priebus had to say something to indicate he’s relevant.
A conspiracy theorist National Security Advisor that can’t remember the subject matter of discussions with Russian officials, when the North Koreans are testing missiles with the stated aim of developing a missile that can reach the US, is a liability if not a threat to national security. No worries, the country is in good hands given that the depth of Steve Bannon’s national security knowledge and experience dwarfs that of the Director of National Security and Joint Chiefs that he replaced on the NSC. Believe me.
Besides, Jason Chaffetz says the House GOP will investigate. That investigation can take its place in the queue after the continuing Clinton investigation, the investigation of the three to five million votes that deprived Trump of a majority, and Russian interference in the elections. It’s all Making America Great Again.
Keep grasping. That old Logan Act meme? Good luck with that. Has anyone ever been convicted under that one? He can talk to the Russian ambassador about anything he likes. Free country n’ all. As far as his not remembering, well he must have gotten that from Hilly, cause she’s said “I don’t recall…” more than any corrupt politician in history. Andddddddd, If you believe one of the other links, she’s also thinking of running again…If Lyndon LaRouche can run from jail, well, I guess she can, too.
If you think Latimer is believable, then I have some nice ocean-front real estate in Utah that you might like to buy.
The standards you represent and advocate for the GOP are amazing. Believe me.
David Bowie Won a Grammy!!!!!
Bruno Mars did a great rendition of ‘Lets Go Crazy” after a shout out to the movie Purple Rain with The Time intro. This 80’s teen was dancing along.
AND this morning Pandora added Prince Radio to it catalog. My Monday is now perfect.
Touche!

Geraldo’s loss is Harvard’s Gain.
One more bit from Geraldo’s story. His quote is perfect. It describes all of this anti-slavery renaming crap perfectly: “intolerant insistence on political correctness is lame.” Pretty soon you libs are gonna insist on editing parts of Gone with the Wind because of some of the phrases and dialog there. It’ll happen sooner than later!
We opened Geraldo’s head. It was empty too.
Whole parts of history get rewritten all the time. Trump sometimes does it on a daily bases. Harvard can call it’s building anything it wants, because IT’S THEIR BUILDING. ‘Gone with the Wind’ once had phrases and dialog changed just after it was published so it would sell better outside the South. Some of the altered print copies are worth more then GWTW 1st additions. That’s a copyrighted work so unless the Mitchell estate allows it, not happening. Even art changes. Parts of the Michelangelo’s the Last Judgment was painted over to cover up male nudes. Cites and places change names all the time.
By the way, I read this and thought of you…

This is a long 6 part read of unemployment in America, but worth the time.

Nooooo, say it ain’t so!!!!

Gladly! CNN is dishonest and literally a dying news organization. And if Socialist, dictatorial POSs like Maduro are calling them “fake news” they be in a major league world of hurt.
Now, Andrew… you really shouldn’t call Hillary a “proven liar”. Decorum must, must be maintained!
Lol! Really? Ok, as part of your therapy, I want you to repeat after me: e-mol- u-ments! Again. Again. Feel better?
Just trying to help. Your side has been totally brutalized on all fronts since the election and I’m just looking out for your heath.
Flynn gone. Kellogg acting. Who gets the gig ultimately?
