”It happened: After a day of pressure, the Department of Veterans Affairs has reversed course and announced that it would pay veterans the full amount of benefits they are due under the Forever GI Bill.”
This is good news.

The world according to dimwit donnie...
“Oh, I get it! I am a very good developer, happily living my life, when I see our Country going in the wrong direction (to put it mildly). Against all odds, I decide to run for President & continue to run my business-very legal & very cool, talked about it on the campaign trail...
Lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in Russia. Put up zero money, zero guarantees and didn’t do the project. Witch Hunt!“
He signed a letter of intent so I’m pretty sure that is not “lightly” looking to build in Russia.

”As the story swirls of Michael Cohen’s guilty plea and how it further implicates Donald Trump in the #TrumpRussia scandal, one GOP source tells me to “keep an eye on Mike Pence.” What did the @vp know and when did he know it? It’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out.”
Anyone who thinks Pence didn’t know what was going on are kidding themselves.

I'm currently teaching Animal Farm to my high schoolers and then saw a headline about some spin Giuliani threw out there and I realized Giuliani and Sanders are both Squealer. Trump is Napoleon and the pigs and the dogs are many (if not most) people in the GOP. Republicans who blindly go along are the sheep. Boxer and clover are all the people who thought trump would cover them and he throws them under the bus. The rest of us are the animals and/or Benjamin. ive been saying this for 2 years 4legs good 2 legs bad But when pigs walk in 2 legs 4 legs good 2 legs better Etc etc etc I think there are a lot of Boxers out there. I hope they have a light bulb moment & wake up before they find themselves in a trailer in the way to the glue factory. But somehow I don’t think so

Very good developer? 6 bankruptcies, a guy died in his building from lack of smoke alarms, his casinos failed, his university failed.....ummm...yeah, not. Isn't also ILLEGAL for him to run his businesses while president? He is nucking futs

The line of succession only comes into play when they are removed simultaneously. If VP resigns or gets removed first the POTUS appoints a new VP with Senate approval. If POTUS resigns first then VP becomes new POTUS & appoints a new VP with senate approval. That is why Agnew resigned first Nixon appointed Ford with senate approval then he resigned & Ford became president. Ford just happened to be house minority leader? before he was appointed? In this current situation I wish we could depend upon the line of succession. But unfortunately we can not. Whom ever is POTUS at the time can appoint literally anyone with senate approval. It could be bad considering the current spineless senate

Something a bit lighter, but also very serious! Thinking New Mexico is another country, marriage bureau clerk asks NM man for passportClerk also complimented man on how well he spoke English By Kimberly L. Wright | November 30, 2018 at 11:16 AM EST - Updated November 30 at 11:42 AM (RNN) - A bureaucrat with a shaky understanding of geography briefly hindered a couple applying for a marriage license. The clerk didn’t believe the man was a U.S. citizen because he came from New Mexico. Gavin Clarkson and his then-bride-to-be went to the District of Columbia Courts Marriage Bureau to apply for a marriage license on Nov. 20, the Las Cruces Sun News reported. The clerk wouldn’t accept the New Mexico man’s driver’s license as valid identification, saying he would need to provide a passport.“She thought New Mexico was a foreign country,” he told the Las Cruces Sun News. “All the couples behind us waiting in line were laughing.” When Clarkson objected, the clerk’s supervisor backed up the clerk’s insistence that the “foreign” man needed a passport. Eventually, the clerk learned that New Mexico was indeed a state and no passport was needed. Clarkson said before the confusion was cleared up, the clerk also complimented him on how well he spoke English. ** Clarkson, a recent candidate for New Mexico secretary of state, briefly served as deputy assistant secretary for policy and economic development at the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He said he is also an enrolled member of the Choctaw nation. *** www.wbtv.com/2018/11/30/thinking-new-mexico-is-another-country-marriage-bureau-clerk-asks-nm-man-passport/A tweet within the article: With two of the nation's most important research facilities (Sandia Labs and Los Alamos) located in New Mexico, just goes to show that we have cheated recent generations from learning civics and geography.

It could be bad considering the current spineless senate If Trump resigns/is removed/sends himself into a lethal rage fit aneurysm, then Pence will be President...BUT a new VP would require a 2/3 Senate approval vote. The Republicans don’t have enough votes to force anything and if Pence is implicated it is possible a vote could be stalled long enough until he resigns or is removed. This is of course assuming that whatever legal hoops hat have to be jumped through take until after Jan 1 and Pelosi takes over as Speaker. Which knowing how the wheels of justice move is a possibility I’m not holding my breath in hopes of President Pelosi, but I am thinking that with this week’s news it is more of a possibility than I would have thought this time last week.

Poor New Mexico has always had these problems. Their car tags actually say New Mexico USA rather than just plain New Mexico, to stymie midwestern/east coast cops that pull them over, thinking it’s a foreign car and driver.

I’ve always been concerned about Pence being 46. He is just as creepy as 45, just in another way. And I’m worried that the Republicans would see him as a credible president and back him. Hoping he goes down too.

See, Nixon/Agnew could see thevwriting on the wall and were in touch with actual reality so the transition went smoothly. Agnew stepped aside Nixon was smart & astute enough to pick a VP who was well liked by many. Trump has no contact whatsoever with actual reality and I can’t imagine him resigning. Pence seems to think he’s clean and I can’t imagine him resigning. The Senate has no spine and can not agree on hardly anything WITH thier majority, so I picture a very messy 2 years until we can elect someone else. IF there is proof of collusion and the election was affected what does that mean exactly? Like if he isn’t really a valid president?
