I dont know but High School Math teacher sounds like an upgrade to me in just about any job, actually. If a High School Math teacher comes in and takes it, weve upgraded. If i know nothing about you, if you can ledge jat jit mattly append the word teacher or librarian to your name, you have already got my vote. That is absolutely true. I spent my morning at ps208 which is on my new favorite cup right here. There it is. There it is. Right there in the shot. And so to start your day with teachers and start your day with students Means Nothing can go wrong after that. And nothing has, right . I havent been paying that much attention to the news.

Kind of appalling. That is the reaction to those comments from the president this morning from republican senator jeff flake, significant for a number of reasons, especially given it was flakes thoughts about judge Brett Kavanaugh that delayed the vote on the president s pick for the Supreme Court. He remains the key swing vote. The new investigation is believed to be almost, if not completely finished, could arrive on capitol hill as soon as today. And that brings more questions. Who will get to see it . How many witnesses will have been interviewed by then . Why is ford at least so far not among them .

In the wake of democrats historic wins in this years midterm elections, we are witnessing tonight a full on assault of democracy by defeated republicans across the country. Theres an old joke about the definition of chutzpah being a man who asks the court for mercy because hes an orphan, something similar is going on. For years theyve used the nonexistent threat of voter fraud as a pretense to make it harder for people to vote.

Interesting. The special counsel occasionally turns up in relevant filings and stuff but it seems like the heb lifting being done by the u. S. Attorney. A few months later, Robert Mueller bruth another indictment against a different set of russians. His indictment of a dozen Russian Military intelligence officers.

New Court Documents set to be unveiled on Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen revealing how much cohen is cooperating and just how much Paul Manafort lied. Five fweetweets from the president on his favorite topics. They put out big news to can distract from other things. Today is a big day for the Mueller Investigation. It is a combination of denial from the president s team, incompetence and fear from some people in the white house. Jobs at 155,000 created for the month of november. Expectations higher. We have been running at a 200,000 jobs a month pace for quite sometime. The uncertainties around u. S. china trade negotiations, the arrest of the cfo of what w huawei.
