Not sure about Pence.  But I bet Melania did...

People have been bailing massively the last few months.  I didn't realize that millions of people were Trump relatives.

For me, I am staying in, going over Niagra Falls in a barrel.  See you at the botto.....om!

Are we tired of winning yet?

If Trump depended on winning to keep breathing, he would be the Blue Orange Guy...  LOL!

Elections ... half win, half lose.  Just stop paying attention to the carnival barker.

If you are referring to the Carthaginian execution of Roman general Marcus Atilius Regulus ... then I am impressed.  Otherwise, how do you know I am not a masochist or acupuncturist?  But I do think you are a sadist perhaps?

You can't get more poor than penniless.  All Americans are penniless, because Americans use a cent, misnamed a penny.  Only the British use a penny (though she isn't what she used to be).

Financial scams are ... scams.  A great many are legal, only a few are sanctioned by law, let alone in actual practice.  White collar crime is ... the true White privilege (not skin color, but class).

It was of temporary advantage, while the Soviet Union threatened, to seem like in common cause with the common man.  But communism never ended, it s timeless.

QuoteGuess who got out of the stock market before Trump started ruining the economy?

Smart choice. My mom left her retirement in stocks, and over the last week alone has lost about $2000.

... Linking the stock market to White House economic policy may prompt the question: How has the stock market performed under the president? A look at the numbers reveals modest gains.

On Jan. 20, 2017, the day Trump took office, the S&P 500 closed at 2,271.31. The index most recently closed at 2,632.56, a gain of 14.73 percent.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a slightly stronger gain, closing at 19,795.06 on Jan. 20, 2017, and closed this week (11/24/18) at 24,285.95, a gain of 20.38 percent.

The Nasdaq has seen the sharpest gain. It closed at 5,555.33 on Jan. 20, 2017, and is now at 6,938.98, a gain of 22.14 percent.

But how the market performs during an administration is not really something a president should discuss. As economist Jason Furman noted in a February report in Politico, presidents "have a limited and very indirect effect on stock markets and even on the economy more broadly."

"Using day-to-day stock market movements as a proxy for expressing this confidence is ... a financial, economic and likely political mistake," Furman wrote.

Name it what you like.  Tyranny is real, and is done by ... everyone.  It is a matter of degree.  Real zero tolerance requires the extermination of the human race .. which is rather ironic, if you think about it.

Diversify (if you have any assets)
Change it as necessary (which means, don't stay pat over decades)
One of the saddest retirement stories, is that of loyal employees dumping all their savings into company stock, and riding it down until final insolvency.

So is this a vast Trump conspiracy against your mother?  Or is it the Resistance who wants to end civilization while Trump is in office?  Or perhaps Putin and Xi have super powers?  aka Commie Avengers?

Actually, I was referring to the Brothers Grimm stories.  That was a favorite way of dispatching people, apparently...  Which (protecting my innocent self) I always assumed was allegorical.  The real ways were much crueler and one's I wouldn't wish on ANYONE!
