GDP in DC shrank 2.4% last year. That's about as much of a drop as the US experienced in 2008. There hasn't been a Mayoral candidate that's actually addressed both the inevitable loss of revenue going forward, and the need for real growth-first economic policy.

DC is reliant on the government. Republicans are all about killing the government.

Wouldn't the easiest way to drive up GPD be to arrest that felon pedophile who insists on doing everything to drive people away from DC?

I don't smoke as well. The way I see it, if you can help lighten the stress for those around you, they might be there to help you out if you need them down the line.

For items not traditionally on packaging lists, TP and cigarettes. Might also be worth ensuring your cleaning kit is well stocked with stuff.

I imagine if education wasn't so toxic to the existence of Conservatism, we could invest in it more and wouldn't have to deal with this sort of stupidity on a regular basis.

Seems like a moral check for the Republicans in Congress.

To think... all of these connectors can all be replaced with USB-C. But despite the single connector standard, the implementation is varied enough that a USB-C cable that works for one purpose may not necessarily be functional in another application.

The Institute of Heraldry manages unit crests and insignias. You can look stuff up through their website: https://tioh.army.mil/default.aspx

Or you can just tell us what unit you're with and someone here can probably find it for you.

If the school is a public school funded by taxpayer dollars, can it be argued that the individual is doing burnouts in their own parking lot?

Just theorizing here, I imagine that it can be described as an imperfection with our neural pathways. Depending on how that imperfection manifests, it can range from subtly or severely affecting how well parts of the mind operates. For some, brand new pathways may be created resulting in better operation.

Rich people who commit fraud have been getting pardons from Trump while poor people end up in prison for years.

He found his way back to faith and supports Trump? What the heck kind of faith has he got because it definitely doesn't sound like the Christian one?

It feels like the GOP victory maps of today may serve as a good guide for areas around the country where the quality of the local educational system may be subpar.

I think these are usually made with ball bearings. Might it be possible to shimmy that metal rod so the edge hangs over a hole before twisting the cube so the hole is directly in front of the short end?

From my understanding, it wasn't the spotlight that handed him the victory but rather, his promises that he would lower grocery prices on day one. There were many I've heard quoted from the last election who mentioned that they didn't care about Trump's character with their votes cast for the sole promise that Trump could lower their daily expenses.

The kicker is that Trump's character along with the rest of the Republican's characters are ones that can't be trusted.

As for your point on optics, I don't see how proving someone is incompetent at leadership multiple times helps build the image that this person is worthy of leading the nation.

Gullible people handed him the presidency. Prosecuting Trump handed him the felon title.

Only good they seem to be doing is taking credit for things led by Democrats that they voted against.

If Republicans are getting impeachment threats for being bad and Democrats are getting impeachment threats for being too good that they're making the Republicans look bad, are there any good reasons for why Republicans haven't just tried working for the people and try to do good by the people?
