You can make a living wage, but nowhere near what he says. And it's HARD work making it a young mans game. You make your money and get out (desk job) before you blow out your knees/back. A lot of trades are like that. (brother and I owned a roofing outfit for over a decade, before closing shop)

Don't expect GOP pols to change until he dies. Because even as a lame duck, he has and will continue to have, sway over the GOP base. This is what happens when you've spent decades cultivating racists and nutter types, as your constituency.

Republican incumbents were wiped out in Whittier, CA amid backlash to ICE activity, as Democrats flipped the mayor’s office and both council seats on the ballot by 30+ point margins. Democrat James Becerra, who has called for a more resistant stance toward ICE, led the sweep.

Something tells me that by the time this is all over with, we're going to need another "reconstruction" type era to restore and strengthen govt in the aftermath of this administration and what Republicans have wrought. They can't govern because they have zero interest in bettering people's lives...

And we can thank the Roberts court for all of this. Because it used to be that a pardon cannot be used for corrupt intentions. And while that is still tech true, in practice the Roberts court has made it all but impossible to even determine (investigate) if corrupt intentions came into play.

They stood up to the "great Satan" and had virtually every talking point of theirs confirmed by us + Israel attacking them calling it a "holy war." And everything we bombed is going to be replaced with the $$ Iran is going to make off the strait traffic. So in their eyes this was probably success.

Yeah that ain't ever going to happen. The WH is likely going to claim executive privilege and that'll tie up any testimony in the court for the remainder of his term, if Dems were to challenge it.

It's crazy.

M4L candidates took over the school board after the COVID-19 pandemic, running on a platform of being anti-vaccine mandates. But then they started doing even dumber shit, like banning books and forbidding faculty from teaching 21st Century history. We have had enough of these games.
