I’m attending a job fair today and may have to explain the interregnums in my job histories. I just found out about it this week so there wasn’t time to submit resumes earlier to arrange specific interviews. Part of me does not want to work at all, part wants only a part-time position, and part just wants a paycheck.

I’m not convinced that our Lying leader will want to leave when his hitch is up, so there may never be a Interregnum from his leftist oppression.

Based on how the initial interregnum was handled (and actions since),
whether there will be another in 2016 is up for debate ...

I have voiced the same fear in the past, but he’s so unpopular now, even the dems would protest if he tried some bogus martial law ploy.

Even the folks at CNN and NBC will be tired of his lying ass by 2016. (OK, I’m exaggerating a little.)

At least in women’s prison, dropping the soap in the shower isn’t fraught with peril.

I apologise. The idiot reporter (Chris Lansing) is from MSNBC.

They are a little dumber and more polarized on MSNBC, but basically the same thing.

You have to wonder how hilary and fauxcahontus will try to back away from obams during the primary season, expecially when both are so tied to him
