Dana, once - years ago - I acted as an in-house trainer on the computer system. I wrote up little instruction sheets as needed and shared them. One of the staff copied hers and shared them with her father; he'd reached the point where he was on a first-name basis with his computer's tech support people.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Our wings are not tired.
Seemingly the DHS secretary decided to go out to eat (ironically at a Mexican restaurant) and was driven out by protesters standing around changing "shame, shame".
As a general rule I let recognized people dine out without annoying them; I'd make an exception for people that take kids away from parents and keep them in cages.

I don't know how people keep working for Trump. How could it be worth it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, I think if your policy is forcibly separating asylum seeking parents from their asylum seeking infants, I see no moral issue with a crowd of protesters forcibly separating you from your enchiladas.

The white house is now having enough trouble finding people who will work there that they had a booth at a job fair on Capitol Hill (I saw one suggestion that they're afraid the pay they'd receive wouldn't cover future legal bills).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone just asked the Washington Post restaurant critic about this in his live chat, and his main comment was, "Why would she go to such a crappy restaurant?" Which I appreciate for staying on-topic.

I've not seen her but deVos shows up regularly at the salon in the bottom of our building in Georgetown. My one coworker has seen her 2x and struggles with the best response. Imo, the ol' double flipper's meaning is pretty effective at getting your point across.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
According to NYT and the Guardian Trump is signing an executive order today to keep families detained together.
No word about reuniting the children already stolen and warehoused.

um ... I really hope it's not true, but I've read some reports that they aren't tracking which kids came with which parent(s), making reuniting them difficult if not impossible
And a number of people have raised questions about where the girls and very young children are - the photos that were released by DHS are all of boys and adults. I fear the worst.
