The Color of Magic. I've started that book so many times, and I enjoy it while reading it, but as soon as I put it down loose all motivation to pick it up again and I move on to other books. No idea why. It's just that my enjoyment does not stick with me once the book is closed. I just don't get hooked and wonder what will happen next.

Ahhh yes. The old "can we do this again, but closer to the midterm elections" play.

Or else what? What motivation does Trump have to suddenly start following court orders?

If only she was in the United States. She could have claimed a religious objection to providing care and would likely still be working as a nurse.

For the crimes of sexual assault of minors I sentence you to be called MISTER Andrew Windsor! You must also downsize your nearly rent free free housing to a mere 5,000+ sqft cottage next to Windsor castle. It pains me to be so harsh to my own brother, but an example must be made. Let this be a warning for all pedophiles throughout the kingdom!

I worry more that they will think "Republicans are so hated that we can stop fighting and still win the midterms. The more Republicans get away with, the better it is for us in the next election."

Guess it depends on what you think signals a strong economy.

If you were upset by Russia hosting the 2018 FIFA World Cup, you should not look up Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Any minute now that trickle down effect is gonna feel like a torrential down poor of cash. Yup. Any minute now.

It'll probably start right after these job creators finish creating jobs for some of those estimated 7+ million unemployed Americans that are actively looking for work.

Be nice because you want to be a nice person.

Work hard because you enjoy the work.

Take on more than you have in the past to extend your capabilities. Never take on "more than you should".

Never do any of these things for the recognition of others. Do these things because you want to do them.

Whoops. Thanks for catching that. Fixed.

Just to putting these in one place.

• Republicans would rather shut down the government than allow affordable health care. (this article)
• Trump is pushing to remove medical bills being exempt from credit reports, making it more difficult for people for people to qualify for credit cards, car loans, and home loans. (ref)
• Following an executive order from Trump, Utah is building a forced labor Internment Camp for the homeless. (ref)

“If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay,” Trump added.

So he admits that he knows how because he's done it for other services.

I mean, she murders puppies. What else would you expect?

Make it a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Clark goes back to his rural childhood farm town for the holidays. Holly, a big city CIA assassin on her first assignment, comes to town under the guise of being a photographer there for their big Christmas festival. Holly struggles to find opportunities to kill this enemy of the state, between the charity work Clark's does for the festival and the seemingly persistent attention he revcieves from his highschool sweetheart, Lana (who looks remarkably similar to Holly in build, complexion and hair color) and her daughter Sarah. So she stages a honey trap to lure him to his demise. With each failed assassination attempt she finds herself falling victim to her own trap and she finds herself falling in love with him. Eventually Holly breaks down and confesses that she's actually there to commit an illegal murder for the government but can't because her newfound love for Clark has made her rethink her career path of state sanctioned murdering people for money. She runs off into the snow, tears running down her face. At the festival Clark is delivering fresh pies to the charity fund raiser booth when he hears the news. Holly's car was pulled from a frozen lake with a body inside. While damage from the wreck makes identification difficult, they are certain it Holly is dead. A forlorn and heartbroken Clark feels lost but then the crowd parts and he sees Holly! They rush into each other's arms. "How?" Clark asks. "I couldn't just leave, they would come after me. The only way out was to fake my death." Holly answers between kisses. "Then who was that in your car?" "Don't worry about it", she says as they kiss. Credits roll as Sarah wonders the crowd searching for her missing mother.
