The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.
Not to change the subject from burritos but when I was earning poverty wages in my 20s I used to go to Subway nearly every day and get a footlong Italian sub for 5 dollars. It was generally the only big meal I would eat in a day.
If I was hungry later at night, I could always swing by McDonald’s and grab a chicken sandwich for a dollar.
All of these people are screaming about “eating at home” but I basically never made meals at home in those days and I was able to get by. You used to be able to survive on low wages without making meals from scratch. If that’s not possible anymore then it’s a sign that our standard of living is declining. That’s a problem. You should care about that.
Anyway, I went to a Subway recently and that same sandwich was 13 dollars. McDonald’s, of course, doesn’t sell anything for a dollar anymore.
It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election.
All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS.
There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.
You are watching in real time as billionaires steal a seat in Congress to punish the sitting congressperson who forced the revelation of their pedophilic tendencies. They are actively working to buy this seat & rob Kentuckians of someone who actually cares about their state.
So funny how roasts have become comedians who genuinely hate each other calling each other out for their moral and ideological failures. Didn’t used to feel that serious.
Am I the only one who remembers a year ago when a bunch of teenagers said we had to cut the funding to like Sesame Street and AIDS prevention because we were on the verge of financial collapse? Did we all just imagine that?
America is so powerful that we're fighting a major war halfway around the world and back at home it's a borderline niche interest to even care about it.
This is a deliberate policy choice to encourage the spread of HIV, because keeping HIV+ people at undetectable viral levels stops the sexual transmission of the virus entirely. Florida is choosing to give people HIV and to allow it to develop into AIDS.
It should scare the shit out of every American that the only guardrail on artificial intelligence is the companies themselves. That has never, ever worked in the history of this country.
