I’ve rewatched the ad at least three times to try and figure out why some folks are angry with it and I’m at a loss.  All I see here is: Be a better human. Set a better example. Encouraging strength of character and integrity over typical “machismo”.

on my way home i saw two men kiss goodbye and then hold hands, both looking in the opposite direction, and then slowly walk away from each other till their hands broke apart but kept their arms reaching out behind them as they separated and now Im left to process that without discussion they part that dramatically every time one of them has to go the grocery store and the other one to the post office 

Trump threatens years-long shutdown, national emergency if he doesn’t get wall funding

fromacomrade

President Donald Trump once again unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding, threatening press conference, this time following his White House meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse causing the government shutdown.

In a long, meandering briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.

“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“

When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”

Trump also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of national emergency over border security to build it without congressional approval.

“I could do it if I wanted,” Trump said.

If y’all are curious as to why I get so militant about the politics well it may or may not have something to do with the fact that the president of America is a wild man who believes things he himself made up and who talks about dissolving his own government and installing himself as a dictator as if it ain’t no big deal.

“I could do it if I wanted” indeed.  Those words probably gonna haunt my dreams tonight ngl

The safety net for furloughed employees is a strong border? Is Mexico going to pay their wages like they’re going to pay for the wall?

Those employees include hospital staff, emergency services, and other staff of critical support structures. This is going to kill people, if it hasn’t already.

Impeach the bastard.

LOCK HIM UP

TSA screeners are working without pay and some are not doing their jobs properly. A growing number are involved in an informal sick out, causing longer lines.

We already have a shortage of air traffic controllers. One in five are eligible for retirement. If a significant number of them choose to retire rather than stick out the shutdown, we will have a long term problem, especially as the new apprentices in training are also likely to quit.

They have also furloughed all aviation safety inspectors, although they’re being called in without pay as needed.

Tl;dr - if you don’t have to fly right now, don’t.

Other effects: Affordable housing contracts are not being renewed. Nobody has been turned out onto the streets yet, but landlords are cutting back on maintenance.

If the shutdown passes January 20, while food stamp recipients will get money for February (early), they may not get it for March.

FEMA will not have funding after January 31. Some people are still waiting for roof repairs they now won’t get.

The Coast Guard has almost no money left, which, oh! That affects border security. Hey, drug smugglers? All ya need to do is get in a boat. It will also affect safety.

Tl;dr - yes, people are going to die, and we may have a major air disaster. Or another terrorist attack. And more drugs getting into the country.

Yet, 75% of Republicans still support the wall…over American lives.

FDA is stopping inspections on a lot of food types, when we’re already having people sick and dying over lettuce. The FDA workers that are still working are doing so without pay.

Manufacture crisis > declare emergency > seize power = dictatorship

Forgiveness is the first step you have to take to begin healing.

like. really look at how katara’s eyes look when she’s facing aang. She will never forgive yon rha and she resents aang’s unwillingness to open his mind to what she needed for closure. if she didn’t have any resentment, she would have just like. acceptance on her face. calm acceptance of “i will never forgive him because he doesn’t deserve it. i accept that.” naw. part of that is for aang.

and then enter the eyebrows when she looks at zuko. wtf is up with girl’s eyEBROWS. somE SHIT WENT DOWN off camera. she flings herself at him enough to knock him a little off balance and gives him a body flush hug, which isn’t all that surprising after seeing her wear his clothes which is a tropey trope trope TROPE that i liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive for.  and it looks like she’s holding his left hand with her right when they walk away.
