It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards.

This illustrates how dumb POTUS is. A $14M mistake that will require even MORE of our tax payer $ to rectify.

I clean actual swimming pools for a living. This will not work. The reflection pool used to act much like a natural body of water with natural filtration. It would (leak) drain through the granite and new water was added. Now it's been
"sealed" with polyurethane and will no longer drain itself and the standing water will grow even MORE algae. With circulation and filtration added, it will no longer be a reflecting pool. Only still water perfectly reflects. It's ruined.

When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
