Methinks if you throw tantrums over the anthem to race bait, you should probably learn the words yourself.

How is it that there's not a large, diverse state with a female Democratic Governor? JFC get it together, America I live in IL and would vote Oprah for governor over Bruce Rauner any day of the week. Rauner needs to go. I don't know who I like of the Dems yet though.

Well yes, but I’d rather see Daniel Biss win 😉 I think Pritzker will get the nom. I'm not impressed by him at all. His commercials are obnoxious and he doesn't really say much of substance.

Ivanka tweeting about Oprah and Times Up is so remarkably idiotic.

I think you’re right on the nominee but I’m not following which candidate doesn’t impress you. I haven’t seen much of policy points from Pritzker and I really don’t want it to be a race between billionaires, even though I think that’s what will happen.

I'm not impressed by Pritzker, though none of the candidates seem great. It would be nice to see someone from outside Chicago/the near suburbs put up a fight. I think a lot of people in the rest of the state feel like Chicago gets more than it's share of attention. I'm not convinced a billionaire Chicago dem is going to be able to draw enough support outside the city to get elected.

The Trump administration has decided to go forward with nominating KT McFarland to the ambassadorship in Singapore.
That means the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will get to question her. Publicly. Cory Booker, Chris Murphy and Tim Kaine are on that committee.
Get yo popcorn.

Hi guys! Just want to check in and say hi. I’m at my third long term subbing position of the year so I won’t be around too much. But guys, this class! This teacher I’m with! (I’m subbing in the para position for 4/5 year olds) This school! I love it so much. My kid is so lucky to go here.

Last night I showed H a video that showed up on my newsfeed that was a parody- some song about Trump and Kim Jong Un having buttons. He told me that he thought from that description that it was going to be a rip on Pete the Cat and His 4 Groovy Buttons. He proceeded to do a decent parody of the book and I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.

Morning Everyone! Here is your Tuesday Public Service Announcement Remember your January paycheck must be given to God (i.e. Evangelical ministers) or face going to hell. This message from your local crazy ass religious lady who advises to the president. Trump Spiritual Advisor Wants You To Send Her Up To 1 Month’s Pay Or Face ‘Consequences’I don't know about you but I can't wait to send them my entire months pay so they can tell me that the seed money has grown into riches I may never see or take advantage of. This has been your Tuesday Public Service Announcement. Remember. If your freedoms and values don't line up with ours, we will invade you and make sure they do. 'Merica!

That was a good read. It's not surprising given stories of the Trump's organization's business practices but I am disheartened to read of how morale has dipped so much. It is sad to think of how paranoid everyone must be, especially when the article mentions how some use encyrpted methods of communication for innocent chats with former coworkers.

Ugh. Another reason to be upset about the tax "reform." www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-pfizer-20180108-story.html"The big drug company Pfizer seems intent on being a pace-setter in cranking out the benefits of the tax cut to stakeholders who need them the least. In an announcement over the weekend, Pfizer said it was shutting down its research efforts on treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinsonism. The company didn’t say how much it was spending on the two conditions, but said about 300 researchers will lose their jobs as it redirects its research and development budget elsewhere." Who's really benefiting from this tax cut?
