Yawn...wake me when something actually happens. Honestly you've cried wolf so many times I wouldn't even believe you...you'd definitely need to provide a legitimate source.

I'm still waiting for something to actually happen...

Will anyone wait for something to actually happen before declaring the 700th end for Trump?
I've never seen so many people hellbent on a President Pence before...be careful what you guys wish for.

I find your willful ignorance of our constitutional crisis/traitor president to be embarrassing and offensive. You should stick to what you're best at: Yelling at kids to get off your lawn.
I find your equal ignorance of the last administration embarrassing and offensive not to mention how you act here.

Your personal situation is your reality.
For sure, and there are factors beyond who is president such as age, career choices, and things like that which impact individual situations far more than politics or economies. I'm probably slightly older than you, but probably got a later start on my actual career as I was semi-homeless when I should have been in college. I didn't get my associates degree until I was 40. I also fully admit that I did better than most would have in my circumstances. Some of that was luck, some of that was personal choices, some of it was surrounding myself with the right people instead of the wrong ones, but it certainly could have gone the other direction for me too. There's a reason I am hard on people that don't do things to make their circumstances better, and that's personal experience. Doesn't mean I'm better than anyone; doesn't mean I am some sort of genius. I just know from experience that if you make better life choices you can get yourself out of most difficult situations. Not all. But most. People make bad choices without any regard for the consequences, then blame everyone else for their failures and expect the rest of us to bail them out. Short-term I have no issue with bailing people out; it's the habitual people that make no effort to better their situation I have no regard for.

I'm about 5 times better off than I was in the Clinton era, and I liked Bill for the most part.
I can tell you if you're good at what you do and with unemployment being what it is, it's hard to go too long without a job unless you're not really trying. That can and will change, but man if you have skills that are valued in the new economy (especially technology), you're golden.

Dumb. As far as I'm concerned, she got the worst punishment she could get in 2016. There's nothing to be gained from this other than political posturing.

You've looked so foolish over the years and you seem like a good guy outside of this, so I hate seeing you do this to yourself over and over again.
Boo hoo hoo! You guys are getting a bit much. You banned Mitch, now you're taking personal shots against me. Maybe take aq look at yourselves instead. People disagree with you. Guess what, that's life. That's Planet Earth.
Mitch got himself banned, and I believe he did it on purpose because he knew it was wrong but couldn't stop himself. I'm certainly not attacking you, I'm asking you to slow down so you're not wrong again. Eventually you'll be right...wait for it to happen before making proclamations.
