Agreed. Might as well be a spent .22 case.

The paid family leave is very brief ... and then the kid is off to day care anyways. I don't see the benefit to society. Perhaps Ivanka is building a resume' for a future political career?>>33027

>Maybe these new ideas aren't perfect

They aren't new ideas. They were a puzzle piece in Nazi Germany and they are a puzzle piece in the Soviet Union and they are a puzzle piece in pretty much EVERY modern socialist country. Ivanka is beautiful, but her last name is Kushner.

Women are equal to men in the legal sense and, with allowances for divergent interests, experiences and perspectives, in the intellectual sense. But equal is not the same as superior. There is a reason why short men don't have the same luck with women as short women do with men. That reality points to an innate difference between the sexes.

>>33040

Should we then send him around to fix all the shitholes the Dems have created? One by one? Would that actually "fix" the problem or just put a bandaid on it? The way that he fixes Baltimore (etc, etc) is by getting the people of those citadels of communism to "throw the bums out" of office.

If Trump "fixes" a city, all he does is take away the penalty for voting stupid.

>>33058

David only had the power that was accorded to him by the gullible and short-sighted.

>>33065

Nancy doesn't mind it when the great Elijah Cummings goes off on a white man. He's racist. She's racist. Both hate white people.

My oldest son is sole breadwinner for a stay-at-home family. Unfortunately, his wife is a slob who complains about having to raise a single daughter and ordering food delivered from restaurants. She DOES spend her time on FB complaining about being a single parent when she is not dying her hair fuschia. I don't know if she's aware of it, but she's temporary.

I was a single, custodial, Dad of two sons and breadwinner. I lived with my parents during the divorce and for about a year afterward. Getting child care was a BEAST once we left there, but time spent teaching my boys how to pee and take showers, how good a fresh green bean tastes straight from the bush, to pick up their toys and at least try new food, about telling the truth and lying and loyalty and how to ride a bicycle and WHY Daddy is Daddy was never a chore ... it was actually the highlight of a hard-scrabble life. I worked insane hours on the Conductor's extra list for the railroad and would walk through the door just whupped. But seeing my boys light up and even knock me over in their rush to hug me made slogging through torrential downpours and blizzards and spending the night waiting for a light two miles into the darkness to change color just fall away.

If you love your kids, the only real struggle is with the outside world. In a two parent, single breadwinner family, one parent slays the dragon and the other cooks it.

I DO wish people would stop referring to trans people as if they were their pretend sex. Paige is not a transgender woman ... he's a transgender man.

>There’s been no pay raise for 11 years. You’ve got to maintain two households.”

And their constituents have, through the incompetence of their elected officials, experienced actual wage reductions AND the ravages of inflation / depreciation.

>>33115

So was he. Do you see the eye of Horus in it? It's there.

>>33124

Compromise can accomplish great things. It can also allow evil a place at the table. Compromise is NOT the holy grail. "Bi-partisan" is only a good thing insofar as he can crowd evil out.

But it seldom does.

>>33189

Sharpton knows where it is. That's what got him on that plane ...

Interdasting (to me)

>>33317

Noted that the speaker just before Trump hammered the word "democracy" and "democratic" as our form of government. The 22 men in the House of Burgesses were there to establish a republican form of government.

>>33315

The term "audit" means nothing in particular. There are specific sorts of audits, but without those adjectives you might as well be doing a Scientology "audit".

>>33274

And if the mother does not breastfeed? Can we oblige her to return to work since that benefit to society at large is not materializing?

As a father with a stay-at-home wife, I STILL ended up warming bottles of pumped milk through the night to feed the child (one at the time) "Suzy Rollover" didn't want to wake up to nurse.

While Ivanka is jetting all over the US for her pet projects, who is tending the kids?

>>33195

Posse commitatus doesn't apply during insurrection. And there is no need to hold back for a declared terrorist organization.

Not declared yet? What do you want to bet that the paperwork is already prepared and simply waiting for the signature?

>>33266

When I was a Jehovah's Witness, the story was told of being waved through a checkpoint by the President of a Latin American country with relief supplies after a major mudslide. The ARC was stopped and forced to unload their truck for inspection because of a reputation for arms smuggling.

So, while that story is anecdotal (details were dropped for the sake of brevity), if true, then that would explain having a shit ton of cash "off the books".

Remember that an audit only includes assets and liabilities entered on to the books.

>>33269

Thanks. Both sons grew up (somehow!) into very decent men; intelligent, hardworking and very caring toward their own children. Neither one is on their first marriage, so they have an idea how hard it can be to hold a marriage together when your partner wants to go. One rose to the top of tech support for a CADCAM company and the other left the USMC as a corporal. Both are skilled tradesmen today: one heads a lathe department for a largish corporation using the software he had the source code for and the other heads the maintenance department for a specialty manufacturer of wooden walls. And no, he isn't in charge of the mops. ;-) The Marine is a skilled marksman and his brother, new to the sport, is showing a LOT of promise. I handed my AR-10 to the Marine and his first 5 rounds out of it were touching. I think that's pretty decent. His brother's first 30 5.56 rounds would fit under the palm of my hand ... so there is hope for him, too.

There's more ... a lot more ... but suffice it to say that the hardest job I'll ever attempt turned out to also be the most rewarding.

>>33373

Don't forget "HoneyBadgers Anonymous" for Trump. ;-)

I used to write the headlines for a blog I also wrote the text for. I only had about 11 viewers out of 18 relatives, but I'm pleased to note that I only lost 9 of them.

(Many of) the people who believed that shit then, believe it still.

Just mildly disturbing. WHY would Pelosi visit AFRICOM? That delegation is not to be trusted.

Training, I guess. /Sarc

Well south of the Mexican border.

Yeah, they got rid of the Chink. Never DID have a brown or black.

But WE are the racists. How are they going to elect a black trans woman if they don't RUN a black trans woman?

Sorry. Forgot about Kamal-toe.

I guess that if you want to trust Quinnipac polls you can. Worked out well in 2016, right?

I liked AOC telling the other guy how he would treat her. Got news, bitch, that ain't how it works. You lied about the water. That makes you a liar and not an honorable woman.

The CC-NC-4.0 licenses only apply to work that is otherwise not copyright protected. IE: original to yourself or in the public domain. If you slap some words on an illustration that is PD, you can apply the CC-NC license to the whole thing. But if you add words to someone else's image ... well, don't ... that's borrowing trouble. There is lots of PD stuff out there. Anything the gov does is PD. Any of the old woodcuts and such are PD. Books over (ISTR) 70 years old.

The target plane winked out (upper left, red, then blue). Then the refueler winked in. The trace is NOT for the refueler.

It's not even projection. They have racist cornea implants and actually believe that everything they see is racist.

That, of course, only works as long as they stay away from mirrors.

I worked for the railroad and delivered coal to Eloise a couple times (Conrail, Wayne, MI ... there is a tower were we had a diamond with the C&O). Poopy, quiet place. Nice grounds, but not enough of them for as many people as they had locked away.

>>33588

Seems like a post just isn't complete without a typo. Sigh. "WHERE we had a diamond."

>>33607

Probably. But stay packed, loaded and frosty.

Nah ... the intends to finish up where Obama left off and deliver the US to the Global Communist Party.

Not being a pedant. We know what he said, but "what q meant" is seldom straight forward.

If he meant Alpha Centauri, that's one thing. But if he meant Sol, that's quite another. Might he be signalling that, despite the vastness of space, there was other, roughly human, life within our own solar system? There is at least some reason to believe that we are already sharing this planet with others we would consider "alien". The small people of Borneo and the even shorter people of Irish legend are two examples. There is "a problem" with the south pole that dates back to at least WW2.

So, not being a pedant, just latching on to what might turn out to be a major hint ... or yet another blind alley.

>>33646

Our sun is the nearest star. There would seem to be no life on it, but at least one of the planets in its orbit has signs of life -- Terra.

I'm sorry you are annoyed, but I did nothing to cause that.

1) you called me an asshole

2) then you asked me for an explanation.

Here's an explanation from an asshole: you cannot assume anything about what Q posts and you must read it EXACTLY as written ... no presumptions on your part.

>>33672

>No dead man switch

Good points, all. I'd wondered about that earlier, but had lost track of it.
