    Well, strictly speaking, I guess it depends on how far from the bottom the object is tied.

    I would think this would be news that would make everyone happy, actually. Spicer has been one of the most cringe-worthy press secretaries to grace the podium in a long time. He won't be missed, except perhaps by masochists.

  16. Trump isn't usually one to let go of past insults.

    I am convinced that a REALLY WELL CHOREOGRAPHED session of platitudes, complements, and offers of "winning" would cause Trump to ignore past grievances. Case in point: China used to be evil. Then Xi Jinping spent several days making nice with Trump, including seemingly agreeing to help with North Korea. (opportunity for "winning") Then China was not evil. Said Trump: "Why would I criticize China? They are helping us with our North Korean problem."

    Seconded. I've been with credit unions for 20 years, and never regretted it. Choose one with a branch that's convenient to you, and it will be great.

    The one consideration is that the credit unions are not generally nationwide. You may pay a small fee to use an out-of-town ATM when you travel. So, if you travel a lot, this could be a consideration for you. Most credit unions are part of ATM networks anyway, and so it can still be a non-issue. If you don't travel much, then you don't need to worry about it.
