So I’ve apparently been under a rock for a bit but can someone please wake me up from a universe where OLIVER NORTH is the president of the NRA? I had to google it to just be like yup. That Oliver North. How does anyone, even the NRA, think he’s somehow relevant?
Holy hell.
I’m sure this has been covered, please forgive me, but I have been very out of touch lately.
Also, hi!!!

This infuriates me. We have basically made employment law unenforceable unless you're independently wealthy.

On the one hand, I'm glad to see punishment. On the other, this guy's life is ruined. He is never going to be able to pay that off and be able to afford to live. I don't know. I'm not saying he shouldn't pay a fine, but this seems over the top to me. Or I have a full belly and am feeling mellow at the moment. Living in an area that gets impacted by fires every year, I’m actually ok with this. No he may never pay it in full but if he does win a lottery or creates some multimillion dollar company, he’ll still be held liable. We had a similar situation here. I have a coworker who came with in half a mile of losing his house. This was a bit different because it was intentional and the kids dad was a firefighter. It takes years for recovery Like I said, I understand the need for punishment. I just don't know how he's going to be able to afford to live while paying it back. Are there limits on how much they can garnish his wages?

I'm not sure if you guys remember that nut I reported on Twitter who made the joke about McCain dying but he has been removed from Twitter Good! I reported him too when you posted. Twitter: higher standards than the White House.

Hold the phone. These are the same people losing it over Uranium One? "NEW: Top Trump inaugural donor Frank Haney hired Michael Cohen as a consultant. In April, the pair pitched an investment in Haney's nuclear power plant to the Qatari sovereign wealth fund." w/@mrothfeld @aviswanatha t.co/ppcCYk8CoM

The great deal maker, ladies and gentlemen. But he let beef in! Winning! "China’s success partly comes from its ability to stick to a single strategy in trade. Even as Beijing has shown a willingness to talk and make peace offerings in the form of multibillion-dollar import contracts, it has held fast to its refusal to make any commitment for a fixed reduction in its trade gap with the United States. The trade imbalance between the countries has actually widened since Mr. Trump visited Beijing in November and oversaw the signing of import deals on everything from beef to helicopters. Beijing also has not bent on its Made in China 2025 initiative, an industrial modernization program that Washington and American business groups complain forces foreign companies to share their best technology while potentially creating state-sponsored rivals." Trump’s Charm and Threats May Not Be Working on China. Here’s Why. nyti.ms/2IDtbUL

I'm not sure whether Moms would support Bernie bc of his history on gun violence prevention. So conceivably we could be supporting neither candidate.

I’m all for discussing this POS, but can we not with the sweeping generalizations about one area or another being racist? There are racists everywhere, even in the most diverse and seemingly liberal areas. You are right. I am running on pure emotion. I will try more often to stop making sweeping generalizations.

The payments can be stopped after 10 years, as long as he is complying with the other parts of his sentence. www.yahoo.com/news/judge-teen-must-repay-37m-starting-oregon-wildfire-170505180.html

Honestly, y'all, I think the Eagle Creek kid got off pretty light. I have big feelings about people fucking with Oregon, though, so maybe that's just me. we got the smoke from it here, along with the smoke from the CA fires and our own fires, Idaho is a like a vortex for smoke. the fire I talked about that was similar you can still see the scorch marks years later. Natural fires are devastating on their own, when its someone being stupid or flip it makes me even more angry.
