> [@](#): > > Schwarzenegger promptly replied via a Twitter video: “Hey Donald. I have a great idea. Why don’t we switch jobs? You take over TV, cause you’re such an expert in ratings. And I take over your job, so that people can finally sleep comfortably again.” It means something that I agree with Arnold here. I would sleep more comfortably with a previously proven failure at governing than the current proven failure at governing. ---

So, it’s not quite the worst-ranked school in the country, just close to the bottom of the barrel! I claim FALSE NEWS on that! It was actually tied with several other schools for 287, so its probably closer to 291 out of 298 😃 ---

He’s pissing me off daily because I’ve lost all faith not only in this country and the people in it, but in my own family who are staunch supporters of him. Because of him, I’m seeing parts of my family that I honestly didn’t think they were capable of and that’s a hard blow to bear. I’ve honestly never felt so helpless and hopeless about the future before and it pisses me off that my only ‘hope’ for the future is that he somehow meets with an untimely demise. ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I just sent this letter to my Representative and Senators: I sent something similar - to my Rep and Senators, to Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, Steny Hoyer and Mike Pence. It ran to three pages of objections to the events of the last few weeks and demands for action. And I informed them that I make a pretty good salary, I am contributing to favorite political causes, I am angry and I vote. Probably sounded bitchy and angry.
