WTF-Beta

The dog ate my homework.

Thanks!

I can't watch her because any freeze frame of her face is a contorted smirk making watching a video of her an exercise in torture.

Politics is the science of power. Schumer abdicated his responsibility to exercise power.

He caved one day after saying he wouldn't cave.

He went on to parrot Republican talking points about, "waste, fraud, and abuse," and to editorialize in the New York Times that Trump was some kind sovereign of the country.

I don't see how any of it was helpful at all.

Sk, is there any type of folding fan men would use in Japan?

I'm buying one.

I know it wouldn't be a good idea to use it in public in Florida.

I'm pretty sure men don't generally use them in the US at all.

The overhaul needed previously (Reagan/ Monyhan) and I believe all previous major overhauls before that, went through the entire legislative process of relevant committees, etc.

Social Security was changed, "saved," and we have a surplus as of today.

It worries me that Congress today doesn't seem very interested in doing its job of legislating.

I'm watching several TV shows in clips on YouTube. You hit Subscribe if you want the clips in your feed. I'm watching maybe five shows, only clips, and nothing in chronological order. Lol.

She annoys me.

A strange thing happened!

My carrier told me to put my SIM in my new unlocked phone.

I did and my service wasn't interrupted but now my phone is telling me I have a new carrier!

I contacted the new carrier today and gave them the details and answered their questions.

The human chat person basically said you don't have an account with us!

I haven't checked the original carrier's app yet.

I'd like to hear if this sounds familiar to anyone and ask for advice please.

The original carrier is pay as you go and set up for automatic payments.

WTF?

I'd like to read the NYT editorial written by the group who says they used to be the actual watchdogs of government agencies and were fired if anyone kindly has the link.

I saw the headline and made a mental note of it but I can't find the link now.

His editorial made me want to vomit.

He is the Senate minority leader. He is as much a part of the government as any other politician in "the government."

He rationalizes his vote and virtually declares Trump a king in only a few sentences.

Here's Trump using the exact rhetoric Schumer used...

I saw Schumer also talking about, "waste, fraud, and abuse."

These programs don't have a lot of waste, fraud, or abuse.

I wish Schumer and Pelosi would resign.

Lemons with an added bonus-- they explode!

Well, the previous administration wasn't fond of free speech, either, with all their "disinformation" and "misinformation" carp.

Actually, I think Biden, or his robotic pen (* snort *), signed a law that was something to do with making it illegal to criticize Israel.

I don't know the details and I could be wrong. But I don't think so.

I posted about this topic on at least a weekly basis for a year and a half.

I'm still following it as much as I possibly can but at some point you have to know when to say when.

My point is that Amendment has been under intensive attack since at least the Obama administration.

It's not good when any office is closed or when staffing is cut. Offices were already being closed and staffing was already too low.

I think the handwriting was on the wall when the mid-century arrangement of the offices was changed to mostly solid "walls" separating the employees from the public with the two talking to each other through holes in clear plastic while passing paperwork and documents through a metal tray under the "window" and over the "shelf."

There are probably too many problems with "DODGE" for me to try to mention them.

Yes, PD is entirely correct on this point.

What a ********.

When you've lost the New Democrats...

Or anywhere, really. Lol.
