Retirement
(That's actual number of calendar days. It's a whole lot less if you remove weekends and holidays. And even less than that if you calculate the actual number of days I have to come into the office!)
This WHOLE DEAL has gotten "out of hand" much more than it should have! Trumpers don't get their way and they cry FOUL! and death threats start to happen against the operatives they don't like. Why is it that death threats always seem to be received by many who align with Democrats. in the vast majority of situations? Like the guy who was hosting Ms. Clinton's server in his closet. In the Internet World, the vast majority of those communicaitons can be easily tracked, as I understand it. BTAIM. More continuations of Republicans acting like spoiled brats during the Obama Presidency, it seems. The Republicans had 8 full years of total control during the GWBush administration, but then got all bratty when they couldn't have their way after Obama was elected President, an observation. NOT getting anything passed except obstructions to everything.
It seems like a few death threats have been received by operatives which Trump appointed, but nothing like what the Democrat-aligned operatives have.
Yes, American CAN be greater than it is now, BUT ONLY if we all work together to make it so. One party "trying" as the other party continually obstructs, as Republicans have been for over a decade, only slows progress of the nation.
By obsefrvation, in so many ways, Republicans and their "tactics" have resulted for the vast majority of the current ills this nation faces…including themselves.
They have made Abortion one of their rallying points of focus. Do anything possible to have another human life on this planet, but after they arrive, very little help to ensure they thrive as strongly as they should. So are they really pandering to a particular demographic group (ethnicity and reilgion)?
The governors who are spending their taxpayers' money to bus asylum seekers to NYC are really doing them a favor. Getting them to a place they can get good jobs, pay sales taxes, and have a better life than they ever could in TX or AZ. Putting them in a locale where local entrepreneurs can use their skills to build a better economy up there, too. Yep, Democratic states where things will be better for all, with those talented immigrants being there. Where the immigrants can enjoy the American Dream to its fullest.
Historically, Republicans get the country into "messes" and Democrats get us dug out of them. Cycle repeat. As Republicans claim just the opposite! Like when Obama dug us out of the economic hole that GWBush got us into. Everything they claimed he was doing would not work, but when it did, they claimed "It would have been quicker if WE had done it." So…why didn't THEY do it to start with?
The idea of a hospital boat in Federal waters is a great idea, but the cost of transportation can still be an issue. Expecially as the civil penalties of the TX Trigger Law can still be enforced/acted upon for the enablers of transportation to the ship.
Over the past month or so, several of the larger counties in TX have resolved, through their County Judges and such, to put any legal proceedings against abortion providers/operatives "on the back burner" or not to enforce them within their county. As some legislators are now promising legislation which will allow the County Judge of ANOTHER COUNTY to prosecute those violations. Seemingly, if they can't get their way one way, they'll try another way instead!
As the "Party of Individual Freedom" has clearly evolved into "The Ultimate Control Party" by observation. Yet they can't see this happening OR admit that it is. Just as Trump has proven just how many voters did NOT learn very much in their high school American History and Government classes!!! IF they had, they would have known, up front, that much of what Trump claimed he could do/was going to do, he DID NOT have the power to do, period. Guess that's why fact-checkers discovered that 63% of the time, when Trump talked, it was to say things which were not accurate/correct/truthful? And he got elected anyway!
