Shame, shame. A pox on both Houses - and parties. $1.3 trillion. Busts budget caps. 2200 pages, with just hours to try to read it.
FYI- The 2200+ page, budget-busting Omnibus has been printing for two hours in my office and still isn’t done.
Well here it is, all 2,232 budget-busting pages. The House already started votes on it. The Senate is expected to soon. No one has read it. Congress is broken...

I came to say Happy #Festivus to my friend Elizabeth Warren. Cant find her.
You’ll be surprised to learn I have some grievances with people in Washington, fellow members and others. It’s time to talk about them now, because it’s the holiday season.
Let’s start with POTUS I like the President, I honestly do. I know people don’t believe me. But the man seems to have a problem keeping staff around him. But they solved the problem. I went to the White House the other day and there were at least 14 ppl in Mick Mulvaney masks.

GOOD MORNING! Welcome to everyone’s favorite holiday, #Festivus!
I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them!
I’m going to start out with a grievance against the entire foreign policy establishment of Washington DC, who 2 years ago were swearing that Donald Trump was going to start multiple nuclear wars or something.

The President indicates that Saudi Arabia is the lesser two evils compared to Iran and so the US won’t punish Saudi Arabia for the brutal killing and dismemberment of a dissident journalist in their consulate. I disagree.
We should, at the very least, NOT reward Saudi Arabia with our sophisticated armaments that they in turn use to bomb civilians.
I’m pretty sure this statement is Saudi Arabia First, not America First. I’m also pretty sure John Bolton wrote it.

Now read this...
The Clinton Foundation “began acting as an agent of foreign governments ‘early in its life’ and throughout its existence. As such, the foundation should’ve registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act),” he said. “Ultimately, the Foundation and
its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax-exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 (c)2.”
Doyle, who was also outlining a litany of violations by the foundation, noted that currently there are approximately 1.75 million nonprofits in the United States that annually generate nearly 2 trillion dollars, which is 9 percent of the U.S. GDP.

It's a sign of how much of a strongman ruler Trump is that "moderate Republican" these days means "Republican who disagrees with Trump some of the time". Extremists like Nikki Haley and Paul Ryan are "moderates" because they push back against him sometimes.
I imagine Nikki Haley's tenure has been even less comfortable than usual since she published a response to the Anonymous Op-Ed where her defense of Trump included saying she doesn't agree with him on everything.
Even if Trump understood why that was strategically the right move, it had to gall him to have his most visible "defender" implying that he's fallible.

Let's talk about the basic natures of the planets! What do I mean by that and how is this helpful? Let's find out!
When we're talking about a planet's "basic nature" we're talking about what is essentially that planet's core theme. Robert Schmidt created a list of basic natures for each planet that is one or two words.
While seemingly really short, these words capture the essence of each planet and are the source of the majority of meanings, significations, and associations for each of the planets. It isn't everything, but it's deep.

#FYI "reverse racism" is itself a racist term... and an oxymoron. #justSaying
To reverse something is to back up, change to opposite direction, take it all back, 180° turn around... If your jail sentance has been reversed, you're getting out.
Of course this subliminally implies that only 'pale skinned' folks r racist, so if they experience racism, it's "reverse racism." That concept itself is racist.

Racism is racism. Period.
Racism is ugly. Period.
End of discussion.

The reverse prefix is pure 🐂💩.

#FYI: I don't address Mental Health & Suicide to be inspirational. I won't fill your head with sunshine & daisies because the reality of living with mental illness & suicide, especially the aftermath of surviving an attempt or losing someone by suicide, is painful & ugly.
You can look for the silver all you want, spout off & cling to platitudes like they are the only thing holding you together but what good does it do if you are unwilling to confront the stark reality of mental illness & suicide & be 100% honest that you don't have all the answers
Am I saying it is all doom and gloom? Hell no because you have good days, bad days....you have moments that motivate you to fight harder..that motivate you to keep pushing through, that motivate you to at very least keep your heart beating, to keep breathing
