... so is the kid recent, or old enough that had stopped being your every day? 'Cause if it's the former and you didn't know this was coming, welcome to your new life for the next good handful of months

_{incidentally, also the reason parental leave for parents of new children rarely actually costs a company much. Those first few months the worker's going to be completely useless anyway :V}

Kinda surprised you haven't seen one before. TV ads about it are something approaching common, though I guess in retrospect I don't think I've seen any 'net ads for applicable medications...

... also, for what it's worth, it's somewhat contagious. So it's a possible fun time not just for the ladies.

not actually fun mind you but still

Hey, the question is still a fair one. "Favorites" doesn't necessarily entail you're particularly favored, just most favored. Perhaps sithrak intends to make your infinite torment marginally less infinite than everything else's.

... it's also rather likely that pre-mass media/internet political history isn't the most stellar at predicting present day trends, heh. Not sure I'd put much weight behind history based attempts at identifying modern political patterns. Particularly any based in material that originated back before data gathering really started taking off.

If everything Trump does ended up not doing anything, I think we'll be able to count this Administration as pretty damn good. Government that governs least and all that.

... I'd disagree fairly strongly. It'd certainly be less bad and gods know I'd prefer it over most of what this administration will try to do, but the governs least thing is the exact bullshit that got us the current GOP in the first place, and a fucked government that has no choice but to drop any balls that come at us is precisely what things like the Freedom Caucus want our population to get screwed over by.

A paralyzed executive and/or legislative branch in the face of the various challenges and issues our country, and the Fed in particular, have on the table is only good in the sense that what the party in power would do would be worse than even that bad of a scenario. Which is to say there's nothing good about it, just less things bad. Let's not call the smaller disaster a good bargain.

The government that governs best governs best. Least is very conditional to the specific issue it's addressing. Get that was probably tongue in cheek to some degree, but gods fuck we could do with throwing that line of sentiment out of the public zeitgeist.

Mnuchin is a quistling to our coming robot overlords.

Why hasn't anyone hire me to write headlines yet?

Because there's no t.

Yeah, know it hasn't. Conflict of interest has been a mostly low-key backdrop to things since...well, the campaign started, and somewhat moreso since the actual presidency went active and trump became as squirrelly as ever regarding divesting connection to his businesses.

And they did, but it was contingent on the whole using that experience to benefit the american public thing, from what I recall. Well aware that it was massively goddamn stupid for people to believe that line of bullshit, but y'might as well hold folks to it.

POTUS don't get to be a businessman anymore

also that's not a businessman helping his business, that's a politician fucking everyone to enrich his personal coffers

small difference :V
