I know that in your mind..you must be thinking you've made a smart, intellectual argument. But in reality it only comes across as dumb, uninformed and written by kid with one hand downs his pants.
One thing I will say, the pay gap thing is very misleading, and it is in part for one simple reason.
Women do not do, will not do, many of the hyper dangerous, very high paying working class jobs. This acts to skew figures significantly more than they are (not denying a pay gap, just that it isn't actually as big as people claim due to it being an apples and oranges comparison).
Women, for example, do not become loggers, the most dangerous job on the planet. They do not become fishermen in some of the very lucrative markets. They do not become, or rarely become under water welders. These are jobs, and not the only jobs of this kind, that men do almost exclusively, and they are all EXTREMELY lucrative working class jobs. A crab fisherman can make a hundred grand in a few months. Underwater welders can retire after a decade on the job if they don't piss their money away. Loggers can make in excess of 100,000 dollars a year if they are their own boss/contractor.
On the flip side, jobs that women gravitate towards in numbers larger than men : Nurses, Teachers, are low paid, with pay parity a given.
Bingo, and if the various governments really was interested in shrinking the pay gap, they would pay these professions more. Nurses for example are shamefully underpaid considering the nature and stress of their job
The 24 hours newscycle wasn't there during the 90s.
Political coverage of Obama was pretty constant up until the shutdown in 2011, if anything the constant fearmongering and paranoia from Fox was even more than what we have currently, but it reverted to a degree of normalcy after that, until the Cheeto arrived.
I sometimes eat slices of pizza this way too, I feel so dirty now.
There's a difference between political coverage in the old sense, which was basically just the political news media trying to come up with something to argue about, and the Thunderdome we find ourselves in now. Under Obama the talking heads would be rehashing a comment from 2 months earlier and trying to find new ways to pretend it was relevant. Now we have the President doing things multiple times a week that would have filled a 6 month cycle under any previous president.
This is truly unprecedented in every way.
Everything he does is so weird.You should. I bet you drink water like this too..

In other news; Fat Joe disses Trump in his new track. I didn't know Fat Joe was still alive..
He did the same thing with bottled water. So weird.

Anyhow, I wonder how long before people start requesting that meetings with him must be transcribed and/or recorded? There seems to be polarizing opposite recollections of every single meeting he has. Sessions should just carry a voice recorder since he never recollects a thing. He needs to take the dementia test trump just took.
Yes, but difficult for someone to prove you did recollect.It's been said before but it can't be said enough. If Session can't recall anything then he is either mentally unfit for office or he's lying. Am I right in thinking that in these hearings you've sworn under oath to tell the truth?
Yes, but difficult for someone to prove you did recollect.
Then they should remove him from office given that it's pretty important that someone in his position is able to recollect simple things.
It's blatantly obvious what he's doing. He knows the system.Then they should remove him from office given that it's pretty important that someone in his position is able to recollect simple things.

I agree but chances of that are 0Of course, and there should be a punishment for that.

If this prick hadn't been born into wealth he probably would have end up homeless. Seems incapable of doing basic things properly, wouldn't last 5 minutes in a regular job.
So an "informed" Trump supporter put me in my place apparently, first he started of calling me a "liberal whiney snowflake" and told me how much America is winning right now, failed to back up any of his claims until he showed me this doozy http://dennismichaellynch.com/trump-staffer-puts-out-list-of-presidents-accomplishments-2017/ < which basically just repeats itself over and over again in different wording, guess they can't tell the difference when being played.

I’m sorry, but the jobs market is basic supply and demand, when lots of people are capable of doing those jobs, they’ll inevitably be paid less.Bingo, and if the various governments really was interested in shrinking the pay gap, they would pay these professions more.

Presumably Morgan will be giving Trump the full fawning and sycophantic Micheal Aspel-style "This is you're Life" treatment.
