Free Republic

He was stupid. He should have asked for $50,000 and they would have paid as it would have been easier than courts.

He got greedy and got nothing.

Giving women the right to vote has been a disaster. Eventually it will kill the US as we know it. Some say, it already has...

Don’t forget there was also a Great Lakes Triangle. I used to eat this stuff up when I was younger and had the book.

Rand Paul, just doing the democrats work for them. With friends like him, who needs enemies?

Federal troops in a federal district. Seems like a slam dunk case to me.

Easy for you to say, I am 64 and paid into SS for my whole life. I need my money back when I retire next year.

I have said it also. After paying childcare, the lowest earner is typically making less than minimum wage and paying strangers to raise their kids.

They could work part time when the other parent was at home and have more money and more time with their kids.

Some of my coins and collectibles I have started to share on youtube.

This is what non-partisan commissions get you. The democrats will just go around them and get their will anyway, while Republicans look on.

I have no problem with this myself. A lot more of this would stop a lot of problems. Now did it happen like they say is the real question?

I know, I would gladly kill those who murder my family members. And then eat a good meal afterwards and sleep soundly at night. But maybe that’s just me...

Rand Paul is never right. If you find yourself agreeing with him, stop and reaccess.

They are downsizing, but then hit a snag, so they had to go out and hire 250 temps to do the work for now.

I tell people i only stick around to watch it burn. Been here 28 years and I honestly can’t figure out their gameplan.

Well played!

I am 64 and I just refuse to “adapt” to the new way of speaking. I can say no or ignore stupid ideas without insulting them, but if they insist, I will say it’s stupid and won’t work.

If they choose to get upset, then DON’T ask my opinion...

Yes, some men are like this and yes, some women are not, but stereotypes exist for a reason. I am glad my dept has not had many women in it, though I do have a female boss right now, and it can be “troublesome”.

Yes it is. I don’t go to Church to embrace Satan.

Maybe its just me, but the US is not responsible for all of Europe and if it is, they need to start kissing our asses all the time, wherever and whenever we ask.

All the rest of the world is invading Europe except for Russia. Mostly third world countries...

Not supporting Ukraine and reporting actual facts does not mean you are pro Russia.

I feel the same way but I can feel some of their pain.

I do NOT work for the government, but my job recently laid off 3/4 of the work force. As a lead, I was notified that all leads would be taking a pay cut and losing their lead pay.

Fair enough, but instead, they cut my pay by $6.00 an hour and pushed me below starting pay. WTF??? They did this on my 64th birthday. Hard to just go out and get a new job, so I am stuck here as literally the lowest paid person in the company.

Now my only goal is to make it to April. If they let me go then, I can draw 6 months of unemployment, then go to Social Security and Medicare.

Jan 31, they will be furloughed again, as the democrats will go full nuclear during the regular election season. Expect the next shutdown to last months longer, perhaps all the way to election time.
