When it comes to people think, this is true. But, it couldn't be further from the truth, because when I worked in retail I worked with several older people. I was trained by a 67 year old woman who could barely make ends meet. The stores here are full of 40+ people and I see very few teens. Retail is no longer the industry of teens wanting pocket change.

The ACA will not be repealed, because it's too beneficial to people and there are Republicans in Congress who won't ruin their careers over repeal. No one ever seems to really care about retail jobs, even though they are important and employ millions.

If I'm not mistaken, they don't sell his merchandise anymore, but they still sell Ivanka's things. When I worked there, his ties and shirts never had to be replenished because they never moved. All that aside, he can't save any Macy's stores from closing because their issues cannot be fixed with tax breaks.

Omarosa is yet another untrustworthy person in the White House. This whole mess is so corrupt that you can just visualize the future headlines.

The last time Republicans lost Congress, it was due to ethics issues and shutting down the ethics office makes it easier to cover up any impropriety that might cause problems in 2018.

I preferred the syndicated episodes, the reduced cast seemed to work better. Perhaps we should stop, but considering the bad reality rapidly approaching on the 20th, it's not hard to understand why we are being a little silly. It beats facing the reality, lol.

The syndicated versions. The episode where they were conned by the psychic made me think about how gullible they were.

Speaking of Mama's Family, I think that Vint, Naomi and Bubba would have been conned into voting for Trump, whereas Mama would have been skeptical and voted for Hillary based on being an old woman who might be getting her only chance to vote for a woman. Then again, Naomi might have not voted for Trump since she was sexually harassed at Food Circus and being blamed for receiving obscene phone calls based on how she dressed. I better stop, because I'm about to write a reboot of Mama's Family and this is not the place.

It's worth pondering the notion that Pence might actually be the one to pull the strings in the White House and Trump would only be President in appearance only. Of course, Ivanka and her husband seem to be the ones that are taking on the presidential role, but Pence would be the best option to deal with Congress since he was there for a number of year. The title is what matters most to Trump, that and the potential for financial gain.

They have good reason not to perform. Who wants to kick up in front of a pervert? That loser can get Smirnoff drinking water out a jelly jar, so you know that he'd be eyeing them on stage like a pervert no matter what sort of routine they were doing.

Then maybe they shouldn't have voted for him.

Ted Bundy was called attractive and non-threatening, but we all know that made no difference when he clubbed women over the head. Are you really this damn shallow? (and honestly, the man in the picture isn't even all that. I've seen better doing the homeless count on the street)

Not a big fan of Pence, but he would be a lot less dangerous than Trump from the perspective of nuclear weapons. Trump could actually cause a nuclear winter just because someone didn't smile at him.

Maybe that's what he wants. He's probably under the assumption that he would be spared and be able to rule the world alone.

The one silver lining of this whole mess is that Democrats chances of winning control of Congress in 2018 will be improved. The more negativity that comes out, the better higher Democratic chances go up. Midterms are horrible for the party in control.

The Electoral College votes in a couple of weeks. They need to do the right thing and deny the presidency to Trump.

The maps don't really support Trump supporters making the much. Trump over performed Romney in white areas that are heavily impoverished, whereas he under performed Romney in counties with higher median incomes. Most of the counties that Trump swung were once manufacturing areas. There are plenty of Trump voters who vote for whoever is at the top of the ticket representing the Republican Party and there are those who voted for Trump in hope of change. There are people relying on Obamacare who voted for Trump.

Most Trump supporters definitely aren't making $70,000 a year, at least not the ones that decided the election. Those that do make that amount aren't getting benefits, so a lot of their money goes towards insurance. The problem with Trump supporters is that they want high pay for low maintenance jobs, but that just doesn't happen anymore. These people have started blaming immigration and minorities for their economic troubles, which is exactly what drove this election.

Can't we just hand out the indictments in advance? Because that's what most of these cabinet picks are going to end up getting eventually.

It's hard to say how Stein voters would have voted with the absence of Stein in the race, but there is a chance that some of them would have voted for Clinton even if they had issues with her, just to stop Trump. Anyway, all that is moot since the damage is done.
