Unfortunately those jobs in health care are about as secure as a polar bear on a shrinking ice floe. My son works for the IT department of a hospital and they've been shedding jobs like a dog shakes off water because the Paul Ryan and the Republicans' attacks on healthcare.
"Some people are ebulliently optimistic that the abomination is coming undone and may soon be at an end.
But I would caution that this is a moment pregnant with calamity.
The man we see unraveling before our eyes still retains the power of the presidency until such time as he doesn’t, and that time of termination is by no means assured.
Trump is now a wounded animal, desperate and dangerous. Survival is an overwhelming, instinctual impulse, and one should put nothing beyond a being who is bent on ensuring it.
Banking on an easy impeachment or resignation or a shiny set of handcuffs is incredibly tempting for those drained and depressed by Trump’s unabated absurdities, perversions of truth and facts and assaults on custom, normalcy and civility.
But banking on this is, at this point, premature. I share the yearning. A case for removal can most definitely be made and has merit. But there remain untold steps between plausibility and probability. Expectations must be managed so that hopes aren’t dashed if the mark isn’t immediately met."
Yeah. I get home and what is the first thing I see on the Tribune web site? For the first time, I am wondering whether impeachment might be a real possibility.

Nope, still doing something wrong. As carefully as I copy the link it still goes to a 404 error.

ReplyDeleteThanks, puddle. Sure wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong!
DeleteWhere are you copying the Url *from*? I just copy from the address box at the top of the page. (one click to highlight, right click, select copy)
DeleteI'm copy it from the same place, but by hand, not by the mouse click.
DeleteWhy not try the mouse click copy? Might could work for you--and hellalot easier, in any case.
