I was gonna reply that Hermain Cain was probably the “Black Donald Trump”, but I looked it up and Cain actually had success in his business ventures. He also was only married once.
But he’s always been like this. He had the world’s largest intelligence apparatus at its service, but didn’t believe what they said when it contradicted what his buddies Vlad and MBS told him.
Jesus was a socialist Jew. We had one of those run for President, too, but couldn’t make it past the Democratic primary.
Many Conservatives have been conditioned to stop looking for facts and believe what the TV tells them. Trump admitted as much during the debate. When challenged on the cat thing, he dismissed the reporter’s research and said that he believes it because he saw it on TV. His voters will, too.
Roger Ailes was Nixon’s media consultant during Watergate, and the lesson he learned was that if the media was on Nixon’s side, he could have gotten away with it. Ailes went on to run Fox News. That is no accident.

Isn’t it common knowledge that Netanyahu wants Trump to win? Trump would let him level Gaza and then buy the rubble to build a resort.
Well. Yeah, it all makes sense because the foreign powers who want WWIII the most are all funding him.

Think of someone who makes small crafts and sells them on some online platform. Someone who does this as a business will keep track of their materials costs, and subtract them from their sales cost, only paying taxes on their actual profit.
But the IRS will only let you do this if they determine your intent is to make a profit. If they think you are purposely just selling enough to cover your materials, but using most of the materials for yourself, they can tell you that you never had an actual business in the first place, and that all that deducting of expenses never should have happened.
Because too many people treat politics like a sporting event. You root for your team no matter what, and against the other team. You have to do it this way, because if the other side wins that means your side loses.
So there are too many people who view Trump as “Their Guy”, and are “rooting” for him. Anything they hear that might portray Trump in a negative light (like a criminal trial, for instance) must be the Other Side trying to cheat to win unfairly.
I remind people that Roger Ailes was Nixon’s media consultant, and the lesson he learned from Watergate was that Nixon could have gotten away with it if the media was more sympathetic. He then went on to be the CEO of Fox News. That’s no accident. There is a direct line from Nixon to Trump, and Roger Ailes drew it.
Each sport has different jargon for their officials, and some sports use them differently than others. Some sports (like football) use them all at once. There are some distinctions that tend to run across multiple different sports, not perfectly, but good enough to discuss.
Umpires tend to make binary decisions based strictly on the rulebook. Yes, sometimes there is some Grey area, like whether a batter “swung” or not. But the decisions are often yes/no.
Judges tend to make more subjective decisions, comparing against some sort of ideal rather than a binary decision. In most sports where scores are not accumulated based on goals but assigned by officials based on how well they perform their routine, those officials are judges.
Referees tend to make broader decisions that impact the overall game. They are also more likely to talk directly with coaches on either side, or the spectators.
And there is no perfect analogy. American football does have a “referee” who is the main official, as well as an “umpire” who has set duties, and all the rest are technically judges but enforce things like scrimmage violations and penalties in the secondary. When an announcer says “That’s probably a holding flag” it is because it is thrown by a judge who typically has responsibility for looking for holding. Baseball only has umpires, the one with the most seniority is the “crew chief” and acts sort of like a referee but they don’t call them that.
Maybe Bill O’Frights is Bill O’Reilly’s cousin
As fucked up as the economy is right now, it doesn’t hold a candle to the 70s. People freak about 7% mortgage rates right now, they started there in the 70s and went up to 13%-ish by the time Reagan was elected. The shit show started under Nixon, but people seem to blame Carter. Probably because of the time he had the audacity to ask Americans to turn their thermostats down. (I was just a bit too young for all this, so this is all filtered through what my parents told me.)
Combine that with the Iran hostage crisis, and the fact that Carter was too honest for his own good, and he didn’t stand a chance in 1980 against a charismatic opponent who wasn’t afraid to bend the truth now and then.
I found this link to a good overview of it all. It seems to be part of some course (there is a quiz at the end)

IMHO the most important thing is to always have positive reasons for your desire for a new job. Always present it as moving toward something you want, not as running away from something you don’t want.
You can say that you’ve been working with patients for however many years, and need a change. Everyone gets tired of things after a while, they can’t take anything negative from that. You can also say that you are in the right spot in your career for a transition into a more regular office environment.
You can say that you are detail oriented and like working with data and feel that your nursing background can help you put all that data into context.
As long as you are focused during the interview on how you can use your experience to help that group, you’ll be fine. Good luck!
I find LinkedIn useful, but absolutely refuse to install the app on my phone. I figure it’s enough to give them access to my contacts and resume to monetize, they don’t need my location also.
Whenever I get an email notification that I have a LinkedIn message, I check it the next time I am at my desktop. Then, without fail, after I check it they send me a follow-up email reminding me that “LinkedIn is better on the app!”
That just reinforces the idea that I will never, ever install their app.
From doing some quick reading (instead of work, lol) it sounds like as long as there is a human filling the job as President, when the VP steps in it must be in that Acting capacity. So the President could notify Congress ahead of time that he will be temporarily incapacitated due to a medical procedure, and the VP will act as President for that period of time.
Or, if the President becomes incapacitated without giving that advanced notice, the VP (along with a majority of the President’s cabinet) can notify Congress of that fact, and the the VP can assume the Acting President role. Then the President simply informs Congress when he is better again. If there is any dispute over that between the President and VP, Congress gets to ultimately decide whether the President is still incapable, although it would take a 2/3 vote of both Houses to render him incapable.
There seems to be absolutely no difference in terms of the powers of “Acting President” vs. “Actual President”. However, since the Acting President is normally a temporary role, one would think that they wouldn’t be signing legislation or making appointments unless the President is incapacitated for a long time, since that would piss off their boss.
Dick Cheney just wrote letters to his grandkids while he was Acting President, just to be able to sign them “Acting President”.

You are 100% correct, with the one exception that if Biden dies or resigns today, Harris wouldn’t become Acting President, she would become the actual 47th President, and Trump would have to reprint all of his 45-47 hats.
My experience is that it is entirely on the flight crew to think ahead and “reserve” this space. Sometimes, it’s not really reserved at all, there is just more room for overhead stuff in First Class so they just put your bag there, and then you have to endure the stare of entitled dipshits every time you need to get your bag.
I hope her advice is “Don’t do what I did.”
