after all, we're constantly surprised at the extent of 'bad' we see from these guys (including 'just' repugs.)

but for husbands of his age to call their wives "mother" is not uncommon. It is actually considered respectful. I am actually standing up for other men who say that to their wives from that time. There were men in my family that said that to their wives. It is not something said until they have children hence "mother."

Men that age do not call their wives "mother" - you would need to go back to the year 1875 to find that in common use.

Pence is a weirdo.

And I'm getting really tired of seeing his name in the end credits of movies. Seriously, it ruined both Lego Batman and Wonder Woman for me.

Steve Bannon would probably come in second if he was still a government employee (he probably walks around with his zipper half open and smells of booze, stale sweat and Doritos). So now the godawful creepy Steve Miller gets that #2 spot; he looks like a guy who might have a woman in a pit in his basement who he makes rub lotion on her skin...

I'd meet with Mnuchin in a conference room with pens and chairs and stuff.

Miller? Only with him in a padded room, wearing a self-harm garment, and me on the far side of a reinforced door. If Miller was triggered, he'd chew off a face.
