This has been a 'drain the swamp' goal for a while.

Are you fucking kidding me? No one is ever going to trust an alliance with us ever again, no matter who the POTUS is, and they have every right not to. I don't trust us.

I am watching C-SPAN of the phone call this morning and they are showing parts of Trumps rally last night. Tell me what is the point of the Rally? Is it to talk about policy or just an event to let Trump hear himself talk for an hour?
Because it seems like the Staff of the white house send him "out of the house" so they can all get a break from teh crapshoot that is their jobs all day long.
At this point it is just a rally to spread hate and anger with no actual proof for facts. Is this what is for? Its essentially a KKK event to bad mount POC representatives and current and former dually elected officials.
All these people are sheep. They have to facts, just that Donald Trump said it.

Remembering being upset he replaced Rehnquist? And now he's the swing vote. That's a weird.

I think times have forced him to be more neutral in his rulings. If it were a different time I have zero doubt he would vote with the conservative block. But in topsyturvyland hes forced to be the swing.

It being "his" Court plays into it a lot as well. All these decisions are being made by the Roberts' Court.

AOC getting lambasted for *gasp* getting her hair cut and colored using her own money.
As usual, she has good clapbacks.

I looked up what she paid and just laughed out loud. I paid $70 + tip for my last haircut.

How many of the people bitching about it are men who go to SuperCuts and pay $12? There are a lot of extra costs to being female. Sure, she didn't have to color her hair, but if she hadn't, there would be noise about letting herself go. Women can't win this one.

My H goes for a trim once a month for $20 including tip. I get my hair cut every 12-16 weeks for $60. We basically even out unless I'm getting something special done - or he's actually paying more because he's gotten an extra cut in there. Considering most of these d-bags are most likely going several times to her once, they can miss me with this BS.

Yeah, we all know I am in a rural LCOL area, and I pay $100. I was not shocked by her cost.
I wonder what Melania pays.
Fuck the patriarchy.
