Most probationary periods I have heard of last 90 days. 3 months. Some might last 6 months but that's pretty rare. ONE YEAR PLUS? I have never heard of that, have you?

As a partisan you always ascribe honorable intentions to those you like and dishonorable intentions to those you don't. You could be wrong. This gives you a breather. A short hiatus. A Sabbatical. Is it possible to kick the partisan habit or are partisans just too addicted and if they don't get their fixes they'll die trying to get that monkey off their backs?

I don't know if other countries' citizens are equally "naive" and become "friendly" without being aware of it. But isn't there some modicum of common sense that should send warning signals to them when they are being "cultivated" by foreign officials? Just like pedophiles "groom" their victims are Americans being cultivated/groomed too often because they are such easy targets, so trusting, childlike and vulnerable? Or are all of then completely aware of what they are doing while they are quite possibly jeopardizing the security of their country? less

Is anyone left standing over there? Or has Trump helped turn it into another SH_T HOLE? or HOUSE?
Facing withering criticism from members of Congress and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the governor of Puerto Rico moved on Sunday to cancel a $300 million contract awarded to a small Montana company to rebuild part of the island’s battered power grid.
While government officials in Washington and San Juan have argued over how a company from Whitefish, Mont., with connections to the secretary of the interior but only two full-time employees secured an emergency contract that requires the work of thousands of people, the majority of Puerto Rico is still without electricity, nearly six weeks after Hurricane Maria knocked down thousands of poles and lines.

Abraham Lincoln was despised by the racists of the day was murdered because ot it. A racist Dem is an oxymoron. The Democratic Party used to be a haven for racists but people can change and the Democratic party did. So are the Republicans proud that they are known as a haven for racist/bigots/WHITE everythings? How many ACLU folks are Republicans? I know there are people of color in that party. What I don't know is WHY since the party prides itself on being a place where blatant racists/bigots can go and feel welcomed. less

That is why the Dems (Charlie Brown) voted to open government. Now if you are a "Peanuts" fan you know that every time Lucy holds the football for Charlie Brown to kick she PROMISES him she won't pull it away but at the very last minute she removes it and he kicks at air and falls down. Well I betcha Lucy won't bring DACA up. He never had any intention of doing so. He just said it and the Dems bought it so they are going to fall on their a** again when it never comes up for a vote. SIGH. Charlie Brown is ever hopeful that Lucy will keep her word. Lucy is ever devious and loves tricking the poor sap again and again and again and again and again. I wish it were otherwise but it ain't! :( less
You make plans. You execute them flawlessly. At the end what you sought and got was not what you thought it would be. It was wanting/inadequate. How often does that occur I wonder?

I relate to them and think of them as "my" people too. They lost 6 million people during the Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis while Armenians just lost 1.5 million people during the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Turks long ago. Some of you know that. So it is with extreme puzzlement that I see a Stephen Miller being an extreme right-wing white racist. Or whatever you want to call him. White supremacist, white nationalist, ALT-RIGHTER. It would be like an African American joining the KKK and participating in lynchings. Bizarre. You become part of the group that destroyed millions of your people. How is that even possible? less

The region was already teetering on the edge, but recent events have only made things worse. And while the mayhem should be apparent to any casual observer, what’s less obvious is Jared Kushner’s role in the chaos.AdvertisementKushner is, of course, the US president’s senior advisor and son-in-law. The 36-year-old is a Harvard graduate who seems to have a hard time filling in forms correctly.He repeatedly failed to mention his meetings with foreign officials on his security clearance and neglected to report to US government officials that he was co-director of a foundation that raised money for Israeli settlements, considered ille... less
