The DUmpster / Well, my husband just got laid off

Well, my husband just got laid off

with two weeks' notice. He's one of 500 people being let go.

In some ways it's a mixed blessing. The job is so high-stress that I've worried he could have a heart attack. He works late nights, weekends, holidays. Last night he worked past 4 a.m. At least he's been able to work from home in recent years. Last year he couldn't even take time off for a vacation.

His employer contracts with the federal government. He has a top secret security clearance and manages databases for two US government agencies. When there's a government shutdown, his job is mission-critical so he has to keep working. He's been there about 13 years as a senior Oracle DBA. He was planning to retire after he turns 70 this fall.

Well, I just needed to let off some steam. Thanks for reading.

Sounds as as if you're bragging to the other DUmmies about this that your husband is high skilled and the rest of the DUmmies are on social security or disability. 🤔

Hilariously, that's become my 5-year-old grandson's go-to response for everything he doesn't want to do.

Me:  Eat your dinner or you won't get any dessert.
Grandson:  Grandpa, you're a monster.

Me:  It's late.  Put away your toys away and get ready for bed.
Grandson:  Grandpa, you're a monster.

That's the mentality of your typical DU'er.  A bunch of 60-, 70- and 80-year-old adults who debate at the level of a 5-year-old.  Maybe I'll teach him the word "Nazi" and see if he calls his mother a Nazi when she tells him it's time to take a bath.  I'd find that pretty funny, but I doubt my wife and daughter would appreciate my attempt to expand his vocabulary.

With it being in the City of Walnut, my guess is that it was Chinese human smuggling operations

There are a couple of large mosaics in Walnut.

This is common sense, of course, but common sense is lost on Democrats.

Voter ID is overwhelmingly popular and agreed upon by a significant majority in the country, regardless of party or race as has been well documented.

Requiring a ID to vote makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

Not necessarily.

It's just that THIS piece of common sense is overridden by a competing piece of "common sense" rattling around in the heads of Dim'Rats and DUmp'Rats alike:

Trump has torn down @ least 1/3 of the White House and has used the rubble and soil to re-
contour public golf courses in D.C.. Trump is doing the same kind of shit job to the Kennedy
Center of Preforming Arts (Caroline Kennedy and the rest of the family are fighting back)
and he has plans to crap up the National Mall with some kind of arch too. These are National
Treasures and are not his property to **** with. He is a monster.

He is a monster?! For renovating things?

"The Voter Registration Act requires states to try to keep their voter rolls clean..."

This is common sense, of course, but common sense is lost on Democrats.

The only 'burning to the ground' I saw in America, was democrats burning down democrat run cities, like saint paul and minneapolis.

But that was described as 'mostly peaceful'.
