No, The Grownups Won’t Save Us Or Trump. It’s Dubya deja vu all over again.
Sussex County Population Grows As Retirees Storm the Beaches. More ‘takers’ than ‘givers’ in that group. And we won’t even means-test that senior citizen discount.
Aide to BHL Charged With DUI. He’s also a Dover councilman. Says he’s gonna fight the charges. I can’t let this go w/o citing his weasel words:
“This, however, has been a truly eye opening experience and an even larger learning experience,” he added. “Throughout the campaign trail, I promised to serve my constituents with dignity and integrity. I vow to continue to serve in that exact manner. I ask for your continued support while this difficult situation is resolved.”
Jared Kushner Speaks: Hear his voice as he talks about, wait for it, ‘Dumbo Heights’. Kinda nasally and monotone. Some guy with a hint of a Russian accent introduces him.
Activists Investigating Ivanka Trump’s Chinese Shoe Factory Go Missing. 2 missing, a third arrested. The Trumps are scum.
Why Won’t Anyone Work For Me? Scores of positions unfilled as qualified candidates decline to work at White House.
The mug shot looks just like the guy’s regular publicity shot. Amazing!
Unfortunately, those moving to Sussex are mostly tax refugee republicans. Anytime they hear tax increase, no matter how reasonable, think back to their $5000+ property tax bill from the state they came from.
Personal note: Moderators for The Guardian removed a comment that I wrote calling Cory Doctorow “aggressively stupid” and wishing he would just go away. How wrong was I to write that?
Trump announced that he’s pulling the US out of the Paris climate accords, claiming that they block the development of “clean coal”, “transfers coal jobs out of the United States,” and that “we’ll be at grave risk of brownouts and blackouts, our businesses will come to a halt in many cases” under the deal.
He also says “So we’re getting out but we’ll start to negotiate and we’ll see if we can make a deal that’s fair.” And “As someone who cares deeply about the environment, as I do, I cannot in good conscience support a deal which harms the United States, which it does.”
America keeps winning with this guy, lol
