Speaking of crazies who will believe anything a loony says:

"There aren't enough 'good jobs' to go around,"

Don't despair, Trump is going to bring all those high paying jobs back. He said so. He alone can do this...

In the process of running the numbers, he said, "We discovered that 63% of all jobs that were created since 1990 were low-wage, low-hour jobs. That was a pretty stunning statistic."

To calculate the index's value, the researchers split up the jobs created every month into those that pay above average and those that pay below average, and then divide one figure into the other. An index value below 100 means there are more lower-paying jobs relative to higher-paying jobs; a value above 100 means the opposite.

This month, the index is just over 80, meaning there are 80 high-paying jobs for every 100 low-paying jobs. That's a stark drop from 1990, when there were 94 high-paying jobs for every 100 low-paying jobs.

"There aren't enough 'good jobs' to go around," the Brookings Institution proclaimed earlier this month, when it released a report that found 44% of all workers are low-wage workers. These workers make a median pay of just $18,000 a year.

Tucker Carlson blew everybody's mind last week when he said the U.S. should favor Russia over Ukraine - there was so much outcry he tried to walk back his comments at the end of the show, claiming he was joking. But then on his show last night, he went to the well again:

Tucker Carlson: "I should say for the record that I’m totally opposed to these sanctions [on Russia] - and I don’t think we should be at war with Russia and I think we should take the side of Russia if we have to choose between Russia and Ukraine."

More mind-blowing has ensued, but there's no walk-backs this time. State TV is now echoing Trump's Putin-love and there's no denying it.

This immediately after from the former ambassador to Russia:

@McFaul

What? @TuckerCarlson thinks it is ok for Russia to annex Ukrainian territory and then we should side with Russia ? Wow. Just wow. Missing Reagan. Missing real conservative Republicans. Missing Churchill. Scared of appeasers.

Watched that Hannity fella for exactly 30 seconds for the 1st time last night while channel surfing. How the hell does that dude on TV? If he can have a show so could hedge. And that's scary.

I got a survey request from our local Representative Brad Wenstrup in regards to Medicare for All.

I'm not sure how he got my name, but this is a passive aggressive approach

The Committee for a Responsible Budget released a preliminary analysis on the various options Americans have to finance a one-size-fits-all health care plan. Take the following short survey to share your thoughts on these proposed payment plans.

What would you support to pay for a government controlled "Medicare-for-All" plan?
-Impose a 32 percent payroll tax
-Establish a 25 percent income surtax
-Enact a 42 percent value-added tax (VAT)
-Require a mandatory public premium averaging $7,500 per capita – the equivalent of $12,000 per individual currently on private insurance-
-More than doubling all individual and corporate income tax rates
-Reduce non-health federal spending by 90 percent
-More than double the national debt to 205 percent of the economy
-A combination of approaches
-We can't afford Medicare for All
-Other

Devin told Hannity in a halting, tortured way that he didn't recall conversations with Lev Parnas. "I'll have to..check my phone records." I guess he'll be suing AT&T now, because we can all see those records. Perfect phone logs, to use the current vernacular.

Such a fucking baby. Maybe he'll get home early enough to testify like he said he would.

always a good idea to mock the most powerful man in the world who also happens to retaliate against people he has grudges against.

Gabbard does it for me in a non-political sort of way...

Harris went down as a useless nobody... and Gabbard will be Sanders' VP.
