Watch Murder By Lightening. Netflix? Prime? I believe it’s only four episodes. About these two gentlemen.
James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform.
Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics.

Okay. This seems good-at least on the surface. Who does the unsealing and distribution? I can’t do it. Can you? Who takes responsibility for this?

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Agreeing with Rand Paul is sorta scary.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Even though there are those who say, “Russia is dying,” it won’t be long until the world sees a Trump Tower in Russia.
Trump is aligning the USA with Russia, against Europe, just for his personal benefit. That’s not how alliances work.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
