If Reps were able to do what they want to do, there is no war we would have ever "lost". Make no mistake, it's not the Reps losing wars, it's the Dems constantly diminishing our abilities in war to the point of crippling our military. Not to say that's a bad thing because we've all seen how out of control any military can get when left unchecked, but Dems truly need to start adding "because Dems are preventing them from doing what it takes to win a war" after every headline like this. Being the cause of why someone can't do something and then gloating about that person not doing it is just absurdly stupid.

I don't see the problem with investigating a politically motivated attack on a duly elected President. Comey and McCabe for jail.

How many indictments?
How many found guilty?

So politically motivated...

And THIS ^^ is what sour grapes look like cuz Muleman fizzled.

No, you are what sour grapes look like.

It sounds like the Grand Jury declined to Indict but the DOJ moved forward anyway. That would be Sour Grapes leading to a Political Indictment.

Actually, according to the Time's "Correction", the only new "evidence" is unconfirmed double hearsay (maybe triple) from some anonymous source who heard it from Stier (who refused to talk to reporters to confirm the story) who then told it to the authors of this book who then never spoke to the alleged victim, who it turns out doesn't remember this ever happening.

So you are okay with the 25 witnesses that were not interviewed?

May or may not be admissible in Court. But it certain is sufficient for investigations and determinations of those investigations.

ROC, you are a lawyer. You know damn well "hearsay" and "double hearsay" are used as the basis in most investigations by law enforcement. You also know there are a plethera of exceptions that would have admitted many of these statements into a trial court.

Just be honest: The investigation was a shame. You don't have to speculate to its outcome if there was an investigation.

This is what I mean about hypocrisy I posted in the other thread. This country wouldn't be a country at all if Dems ran things. When America responds to an attack without waiting for all of the red tape to be figured out first, then Libs attack America saying we are trying to be the world's police and all we are doing is creating more enemies. When America doesn't go in guns blazing, the Dems say we are slaves to the other nations. Considering we have decades of proof, you can't even argue this.

#11 | POSTED BY HUMTAKE

Responding to an attack without waiting for all the Red Tape...? You find those WMDs in Iraq yet? A little more Red Tape might have been nice there.

I don't remember any Libs saying we are slaves to other nations. Ever. But you said you have proof, so lets see it. And I don't mean some random guy. I want proof that liberals as a whole said we are slaves to other nations for not invading.

If Trump attacks Iran, oil prices will sky rocket even more.

Who benefits? The Saudis for one.

We lost our greatest asset in Russia thanks to Trump.

Republicans, please defend this. I can't wait to hear it.

You hardly ever do that.

Of course you dont. You dont care about someone else's freedoms they hold dear.

WTF is wrong with you?

Should I care about your freedom to drive as fast as you want or drive as drunk as you want?

Should I care about your freedom to steal whatever you want or not pay taxes?

Should I care about your freedom to own a nuclear bomb?

Freedoms have limits. You don't NEED an AR-15 for anything including home protection.

As a cop friend of mine said, the best weapon to protect your home is a shotgun. Everyone knows the sound of a shotgun when you rack it and everyone goes white when they hear it.

That said, I don't think taking AR-15s is the answer or will solve anything. I like mine. But if the government demands I give it up, I will.

Again, where's the Tea-Party crowd when you need them?

2 million people.

That's 3 times more soldiers than we lost in all the wars we've fought since 1900.

It's more people than North Dakota, Wyoming and Vermont combined.

14 states in the country don't even have 2 million people.

With average health care spending at approximately $11,000 per person in the US, that represents $22,000,000,000. That's billion in case you can't count zeros.

So yeah, I'd say it's pretty god damn newsworthy.

It's at 27,200 this morning.

It's about where it was in mid-January, 2018.

Accounting for inflation, we are STILL down from that time.

But its counting on a Trade Deal. That fails, watch for a 1,500 point drop.

You are counting chickens before they hatch.

I only post hard-core Satanism on mine. That's why it's still up.

The Satanists are actually pretty great people. They don't actually worship Satan so much as they oppose organized religion telling people what to do and how to live. Their pretty "take care of your community" and "let bygones be bygones."

Cute comparison to Hezbollah since they get taken down constantly. But go ahead and let me know what happens. I look forward to your whining about being targeted for being conservative.

Maybe Yang has a point?

The economy is growing syc. How do you and your experts explain that?
#21 | POSTED BY SNIPER

I honestly can't tell if you are joking or you are just that dumb???

The recession starts in corners of the economy at first and then starts expanding. You don't see loses in every state or sector at once. It starts in certain sectors and certain geographic areas before the entire economy swings into a recession.

And that's precisely what we are seeing. Certain states and certain industries are seeing losses.

Jesus, you act like the entire economy just stops and says "Recession Time!".

Go back to your cartoons.

"Forest fires are part of the natural cycle of a forest. It clears the canopy to let more grass and food stuffs for animals, they free up nutrients in the soil and clear up accumulated wind fall and brush. Fires are important to the health of a forest. "
That's Ecology 101, Actual Science, which most of the environmental extremists have never taken and know nothing about.

#8 | POSTED BY NULLIFIDIAN

So when I take gasoline and light up the tree in your backyard, that's just Ecology 101?

No, dummy. Man can certainly affect the number of forest fires and their damage either through direct causes or climate change.

For instance, the Amazon doesn't get forest fires. Virtually ALL fires there are man-made.

Let me get this straight...

You are picking out ONE county and saying it represents the country?

Do we talk about how the suburban portion of the entire district shifted left?

Or how the district slide 10 points left in the election from 2016?

Again, proving my point that homelessness only comes out when a Republican is President.

#4 | POSTED BY ANDREAMACKRIS

We are talking about increases. Of course California will have the most homeless. It's not insanely hot in most areas and doesn't get insanely cold. It has huge metropolitan areas close together. They offer the most social services. And housing is expensive when so many people are living on top of each other.

If California didn't have these things, the homeless would scatter to other states or be able to afford housing.

That said, we are talking about the CAUSE of the increase in homelessness. That's literally what your article is talking about.

You just want to ignore that the increase is bigger in other Red states and pretend its liberalism that's the problem.

This is actually a really bad idea. It actually allows moderates to distance themselves from Bernie Sanders and others on the far left. A moderate winning the primaries is the OPPOSITE of what Trump needs.

Once again, this story is so stupid that it is hard to believe that it is a real thing. Quick question for you, does Trump benefit more from:
A.) Economy grows at 3% and real estate gains 10% (which would be the case as we have the highest rate of any industrial country currently), or
B.) Trump gains $850K from a 25bp drop in the fed rate?
Serious question. Now, I know most of you are poor and have a limited understanding of the economy outside of whatever nonsense MSNBC is spouting - but the answer is obvious.
I should also note that the ECB - that is the European version of the FED for your unwashed Dem voters - is basically holding rates at 0% which is driving interest rates negative. For Trump, he is doing the smart thing. With $20T in debt at a 2.5% (2018), that is $500B in each year just wasted on interest. If Trump were to get the FED to buy back the outstanding debt yielding 2.5% (pay market price and not call the debt), then re-issue long-dated bonds at 1% for 10 or 20 years, he would save $300B/year - that can buy a lot of free stuff the Dems love.
But, it seems like you would rather pay that $300B/year to the elites buying the Gov. debt (Goldman Sachs, Blackrock, etc) rather than actually have that money to spend on actual programs.
Again, your TDS is to the point that you are just embarrassing yourselves.

Speaking of stupid...

"A.) Economy grows at 3% and real estate gains 10% (which would be the case as we have the highest rate of any industrial country currently), or
B.) Trump gains $850K from a 25bp drop in the fed rate?"

First, are you saying (b) means (a) can't happen? Because that's admitting Trump is an idiot and the Fed should ignore him.
Second, (b) doesn't mean (a) can't or won't happen. In fact, Trump thinks (b) will help (a) happen...even though he claims (a) will happen anyway and no recession is coming.
Third, no idea where you are getting 10% real estate gains when the average is about 3% in the US.
Fourth, GDP growth doesn't necessarily mean Trump is making more money.

I'm not poor. I'm rather rich. And you're an idiot.

Bull Crap.

China is importing from other sources and exporting to other sources. Their trade surplus has actually improved. They are losing some money but it isn't seriously hurting them at this point.
