absurd

Another example that we are living in the Theater of the Absurd: Shutting down the government for a wall that Mexico won't pay for, that is really steel slats, now masquerading as a metaphor.

respect

Louis CK is a good reminder that when people with power ask for respect it’s called “civility” and is sacred, but when people without power ask for respect it’s called “political correctness” and is the butt of jokes.

Uncertain if @realDonaldTrump knows that 80% of federal workers do NOT live here in the Washington area; freezing their pay (plus shutdown) hurts voters nationwide. Federal workers in:
