(8,347 posts)I think in another post someone cited the 130 number when talking about the 9 months of debate it took to get this bill passed

(8,347 posts)Someone cited 9/12 of their salary as 130,000 which is roughly correct. I was then trying to say that if someone was trying to average the number would actually go up as the Speaker makes the highes salary in the legislative branch followed by the President pro temp in the senate then the house and senate majority and minority leaders

No need for me to send a nasty letter.

(11,257 posts)$600 is pretty skimpy in relation to the magnitude of the problem, but she'd rather people get nothing? And killing this bill won't cause McConnell to suddenly cave and offer a more generous deal.

(58,785 posts)I came to observe that there are activists who have a visceral hatred for Israel as though it were the root of all evil, Torres, 32, told The Post. The act of singling out Israel as BDS [the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement] has done is the definition of discrimination.
Torres isn't Jewish, but he is black, Latino, and gay.
