$8,700 a month after just 5 years? No wonder they are so out of touch with everyday people many of whom will have nothing but Social Security when they retire. And yes these retired Congress people will also get that on top of their monthly annuity.

If I were the Indiana legislators I would read the tea leaves because Trump's power is waning every day as he ratchets up the threats. Right now as a Republican being anything but MAGA might actually get you elected.

I have never seen a company yet that by getting bigger provided a better situation for customers or employees. The only thing it generated was more massive profits through a lack of competition for those at the top.

The best part of this was the phrase he used, "carried the weight for the rest of us". Obama as someone who was never in the military showed how much respect you can show a veteran by recognizing that fact. He acknowledged it for all of us.

The GOP willing to "debate" ACA subsidies means absolutely nothing. They will not allow the subsidies to go forward as they should. The Democrats are smart to just set tight and watch the Republicans either do something stupid like eliminating the filibuster or implode. Either way they win.

I don't think the framers like myself ever thought that we would ever have a President who is so insecure, narcissistic, and emotionally immature who behaves like a petulant child in office.

If there is one group that I have no sympathy for when it comes to prices going up it is not the wealthy. F**k em. Maybe if they actually paid the taxes as they should the rest of us would have better lives and a better country. After all how many yachts or mansions does one person need?

Yes special teams are important but good luck trying to change your fortunes by picking such low hanging fruit to change your situation.

It is hard to have much respect for the office of the President when the occupant has so little.

(3) I also did not appreciate his bringing up the issue of the assailant's relationship with a "transgender" as if that somehow fueled his anger

(2) that hopefull they would be from another state or another country as if that somehow would allow his "state" to demonize others. That concern was certainly misplaced. What exactly is "one of us" supposed to represent? These are heinous acts and stand outside the rigors of being normal is all.
