I decided a year ago not to donate to Democrats anymore. I see that was the right choice.

It's a pity
It's a crying shame
Who pulled you down again?
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily inside

Important distinction
This is neither here nor there, but the distinction between a FSA and a HSA is actually pretty monumental — FSAs are use-it-or-lose-it, HSAs are not — and I don't think we actually know which one Trump(/Rick Scott/Bill Cassidy) is talking about in his new concepts of a plan

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Let’s go to the airport and see if my aunt’s plane from Atlanta is going to arrive!

I’m very glad Dawn has decided after six years to focus on people who love her, instead of people who don’t. It’s an excellent idea. One I’ve followed most of my life as well. Welcome to adulthood.

To him, defunding SNAP is about creating a bargaining tool and punishing Democrats.
It’s about him.

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable.
Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.
