The older generation took a gamble but didn't foresee how much of a variable technology would play in creating a lazy and coddled generation.
Are we discussing Generation X or the Millennials in this statement? Don't millennials work far more and far harder than the generation before them?
Of course you would because you take it as a direct insult to your own personal work ethic rather than as an observation of facts.
Which is why I said, however, that in some ways it's a documented fact, but not all work is created equal.
His tweet habits are embarrassing and his meeting with the heads of media yesterday was slightly disturbing and slightly indicative of some dark times ahead of us.

And in keeping with not electing a person found unfit for office, one would have reason to believe the EC would turn faithless if a chosen candidate started to name bigots and people with conflicts of interest to power while stoking fear in a good-sized chunk of the overall national population. Which is what we're currently seeing.

Sucks to be an outlier, anomaly, or standard deviation when generalizing large groups based on a specific universal qualifier.

His alleged meeting with the Argentinian leader was quite disturbing too. I hope that he is just trying to finish up business before becoming president but it was still in poor taste.
I think we do have a long 4 years ahead of us and we really need to take the good as good and the bad as bad. The media will just hurt their influence by consistently shaming him on every action and not praising him on the action he does good. Think of it like training a dog, negative reinforcement is not a good thing. Sometimes they even enjoy the negative attention.

Man, we really should hound Trump for his "Hope and Change" message he has been pushing then!
Don't get me started.
I've spent the past eight years rolling my eyes at every anti-Obama bumper sticker I've seen and now I'm going to have to spend the next four-to-eight rolling my eyes at every anti-Trump bumper sticker.
And pro-Trump bumper sticker, come to think of it.
Jesus this guy is a *** disaster for everyone.
Oh!!! On this topic! I have a fun anecdote. Give me a few to find a picture.
This house has been on lots of national media and I've seen it on several blogs/etc.
It's feet from the townhouse I rented before I bought my house.

The reaction to trumps decision not to prosecute HRC has been amusing... always a fan of the fox comment sections...

While it would also make a good message to the political elite that they are not above the law, it's not a good idea to prosecute your political opponents.

I ride shotgun about 35% of the time. And I'm pretty hypervigilant;. I notice a lot around me when I drive. It makes up for my obliviousness the rest of the time.
These Tweets from Trump today, regarding the New York Times...
"I canceled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last minute. Not nice"
"Perhaps a new meeting will be set up with the @nytimes. In the meantime they continue to cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone!"
Wouldn't be surprised if we get a "Screw you America, I'm going home" by mid January from him.

I would politely and graciously accept his resignation, thanking him for his time and his hard work in exposing how far we still have to go in coming together as a nation.

I'm gonna need some clarification. Trump isn't a prosecutor. He can try to get the ball rolling, but he doesn't decide if she gets convicted of anything or not.

He leaves the opportunity open the most by standing on the sidelines.
If it starts looking bad Obama will just pardon her (wait I thought she did nothing wrong).

He can decide whether charges are brought from the Justice Department, he can also assign a special prosecutor. Congress can't do either of those things. So if he says its dead, and the FBI has closed the investigation, then its dead.

Should I state it a different way? He won't pursue charges? Is that ok with you that way? Lol... all I was saying was that the reaction on the fox comment section was entertaining... jesus...
I don't get this whole obama will pardon her anyways as the trump administration can't really do anything at all until they actually come into office... how again does obama pardon someone when he's no longer president?

The FBI has closed the email case, they haven't closed the Clinton Foundation investigation.

Obama already did pardon her
How can Obama pardon an "innocent" woman of a crime she hasn't been charged of committing...yet?
