“If you can’t afford something (like gas), you should get a better job, or you are too lazy to get up and go to work.”Īnd perhaps, just perhaps, if “trumpdy Dumpty” ? hadn’t rolled back the CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) Standards, you might be driving a vehicle that gets twice the gas mileage of the one you are currently driving and actually would be able to afford gas.
Mike– let me paraphrase a main conservative talking point I think there may have been a few other reasons she was picked– and a few other reasons she got the votes. And of course, came up with all sorts of derogatory nicknames– That’s what misogynistic bullies do–Ī final point, Mike– there are about 15 million black women in America that are constitutionally qualified to be vice president. No– they focused on who she dated 25 years ago. īut republican’s didn’t want to debate about the merits of her career. Harris was certainly more qualified than Palin ( that’s my opinion).

The Globemaster coming to the Vineyard’s airport is a much larger plane than the WC-130 Hercules that made an unscheduled stop in March.
A message left there wasn’t immediately returned Friday afternoon. Air Force C-17 Globemaster is expected to touch down at the airport Friday evening to drop off “logistics equipment for a VIP.” Freeman declined to name the VIP, and referred further questions on the subject to the White House Press Office. While not saying who the equipment is for, Martha’s Vineyard Airport Director Geoff Freeman told The Times that a U.S.
