My comment was half snark, half concern that all his sniffles during the debates and behavior that lead to the assumption of coke are real. And no, I don't take it personally.
Honestly, I hope you're right. It is kind of scary to think that the man with the nuclear football (ok, we all know that there's some other dude at Mar A Lago who actually has the football and he's willing to pose for selfies, but whatever...) is using coke.
And especially on something as pointless as the military buildup he bloviates about. I mean, jesus christ, didn't we learn from the last republican administration mega military buildup that it was a waste of money? All that shit that Reagan cranked up the deficit to buy just got wasted in lying Bush's Iraq war v 2.0 the Kill Saddam Edition.
Unlike you, I was appalled at the grandstanding of the new widow of the navy seal. You could see the stress of it all on her. Previously, the seal's father snubbed Trump because he thought his son died in vain. I do have to agree though that I preferred Trump's TelePrompTer speech over his usual off the cuff blabbering. I was not uplifted by it however. He said what he thought people wanted to hear. When in reality he is working in the unprecedented buildup of the military, scheduling the elimination of the EPA and Consumer Protection agencies and looking at ways to cut COLAs for seniors... just to name a few things that will not benefit individuals.
It's funny you say that. Here in Florida we have no state income tax. However there is a large hotel tax, and when people come from out of state to visit they comment on the toll roads and how expensive they are. The revenue raising is shifted to those who use these services. It actually makes for an interesting concept, unless you are the one who has to use to toll roads to get to work.
Our school district raised our minimum wage and raised my salary quite a bit over the last 2 years. It used to be that the majority of our site staff working with kids needed food, housing and medical assistance programs. I was totally unable to make payments on my student loans at what I used to make. Now our new minimum wage for the district is $12 and we are keeping more of our site staff, pretty hard to keep someone in a 15 hour a week job for long with less than that. They are also making changes for people like bus drivers so over the summer they work more by good scheduling, that doesn't cost anything but keeps us drivers.
