ExiledInIllinois

I do now! Our crew is 13 people. 10 are Trump supporters. Remember, I am blue collar, work swing shift = Deplorable Central.

I pay federal taxes the same as you do. I work for a living... I am hourly. No need to be jealous. You can work construction for the Army... We might be building the Wall together. Actually, we have a job opening for a mechanic now. You should apply.

Trump is holding his breath and stomping his feet. Last time I looked, Congress, the legislature controlled the purse strings, not the executive branch.

And you are going to get blood out of turnip? How exactly are you going to fund a safe, modern society when the low rungs of the socio-economic ladder has a broken back. When it comes to the all-mighty $$$, there is no equality. The $$$ discriminates both ways. Better to piss off the few, harder to fight back with violence. Unless you want to pay more for a gallon of milk, then we can talk. Really? Rich in Ohio... Oh, I mean that 3rdnlng wanna be? He calls Trump stupid? LoL...

I just won the SuperBowl! I am going to Camp Gungy... Where every day is Gugny's birthday and everybody gets enrolled in pottery class! Happy B-Day Gug!!! You deserve a special day, every day!

Why the personal attack? I work for a living? What do you do Rich? Work for the GOP? Oh... It's about paying taxes. Yet, I will answer your question: $.01

Yes. Adam Smith favored progressive taxes. Who the hell else is going to pay (for a safe modern society) and still live comfortably?

Oh cry me a river... Over drama, emotionalize like some Jack Boot gov't thug is taking your life away. I am by far not the first and won't be the last: https://www.adamsmith.org/the-wealth-of-nations/

Clinton Bad!© NEWSFLASH Sparky: Hillary lost. Move on. It's Trump's baby now & no Deplorable Snowflake strawman can help.

I work 40 hours a week. Have 27 years in. Starting out = 4 hours every two weeks. After 3 years = 6 hours every two weeks. After 15 = 8 hours every two weeks... BUT one can't carry over into next year more than 240 hours (6 weeks leave) into next leave year... UNLESS you deploy overseas or are golden tier, parachuted exec, etc... Agency rules... I am hourly, NOT salary. Compensation fluctuates depending on shift differential, holidays, etc... My schedule is compressed into 3 12 hour days/week and one 8 hour every two weeks, that's 80 hours. That's use or lose leave I just take every two week. Make 8 hours, take 8 hours, leave 6 weeks on books. Pay is lower though... Have to kick in 40% for health premium... But time off is nice... Especially today with both spouses working. How else can you be independent, 500 miles away from the nearest relative and raise a family? I am grateful...

Peanuts knows peanuts... And it's twice that... Not the best, but I survived after 30 years without killing myself. It will do.

Like duh! Of course Rudy is pre-emptive: https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c400adbe4b041e98ffaa092/amp “Quite a performance, right?” Lemon said of Giuliani’s debate with Cuomo. “But make no mistake, there is a method to this madness. The president’s attorney, as he always does, laying out the groundwork there for what is to come. So stay tuned to that.” The only true reliable source to anything will be the final report. Like everybody here knows more? You either accept it or you don't.

Keep hope alive Brutha! Reinforcements are on the way to "Camp Gugny." Meanwhile, take a dip in the lake and brush up on the basket weaving. Hang in there! Pottery class @ Camp Gug ain't all bad... Okay, maybe just a little weird:

Hey... It's your Pal that is collaborating with the Rooskies. Nice to see you getting the proper responses nailed down...

29 million is peanuts.

26 is George Bailey? Thanks Frank Capra... That movie script has been written before. PPP sure is Pottersville...

Wow... Ain't this a quinky dink!!! https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pole smoking Pay special attention to definition #3: pole smoking Jeff's favorite thing to do in his spare time. Jeff better stop pole smoking before he hurtssomeone with his butter tooth. by The MadCow June 23, 2004

The rats are jumping! So there was collusion, Rudy just said so: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/giuliani-claims-i-never-said-there-was-no-collusion-in-trump-campaign "Trump previously denied any member of his campaign conspired with Russian officials. In May 2017, Trump flatly stated: "There is no collusion, certainly myself and my campaign." Oops!

How very ungrateful and not patriotic for what your country provides. They are indebted to this country. Their safety, peace, security... of a modern society is provided... And the ability to still be 20x wealthier than the other poor slob.

Too funny: https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c3fec2be4b027c3bbbdef31/amp Pelosi owns Trump, that's how you handle dogs: "One of President Donald Trump’s favorite insult is to compare people to dogs. But “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said Trump’s now in the doghouse himself after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asked to postpone the State of the Union address. “Trump acts like the big dog,” Colbert cracked. “But she won’t let the dog into her House because she knows he’s going to poop everywhere.” https://mobile.twitter.com/colbertlateshow/status/1085713314091479042?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-5121258802721338535.ampproject.net%2F1901081935550%2Fframe.html

Hang in there! Try to work with your creditors... Many are putting notices up on how to obtain a forbearance. They can't get blood out of a stone. Don't let the Basket of Deplorables get you down... They are sad, bitter and jealous... Insecure with their own lives... It's just the way some people are hardwired. Their moral compass is shot. Shallow people, petty people. You'll get your back pay... Gov't is on hook for their share of health premiums and the furloughed haven't kicked in their 40% of the premiums... It will add up fast at 800,00 employees furloughed. It will begin to ripple through economy Trump's inability to make a deal. Until then... Get forbearances in order. Make extra $$$$$$ and try to come out ahead. The Trump Shutdown will cripple Trump in ways his foul mouth and corrupt behavior can't because his Basket of Deplorable Snowflake Base turn a blind eye (see flaws above) to the man's serious transgressions.

Oh you're close! Day after B-day... Let the festivities continue!!!

I can vouch! I saw you shooting up @ tailgate behind the porta-Johns. A few stretches in the bed of my truck too... You looked like a new man. Right back @ it giving @plenzmd1 a run for his money & chicken wings. LoL... And here I thought it was relaxing in the back of the truck that did it!

Or you are in a Republican Bubble. Where was this? Exactly where in Fla...

18 billion is peanuts to replumb the Chicago Area Waterways to stop Asian carp from going into the Lakes. Too bad that's a gov't boondoggle too... Because, just like Migrants in Mexico... There is no real Asian carp "invasion."
