I wonder which came first: Senator Rand's vote or the results from Senator Rand's test.

In an ironic twist:

Given the toilet paper supply, this could be good news for increased newspaper subscriptions.

It's one thing to be an insignificant blowhard expounding on one's opinions at some obscure venue; it's quite another to be all that but from the bully pulpit of the presidency.

President Trump's recent comments on the coronavirus are deservedly being taken to task as inherently reckless and dangerous and any efforts to apologize/minimize his recent comments were justifiably exposed for what they are: partisan pandering.

"Seems to be a lot of privilege in the world of Hillery, I know for a fact if my computer or records were subpoenaed, and I destroyed the content of that computer or records I would be going to prison. But not HRC, she is above all those pesky laws we mere mortals have to obey.

Yeah!

If only there were months of investigations, and hours of testimony, and a Republican that hated HRC in charge of the Executive Branch, and a Congress controlled by the GOP, and a stacked "constructionist" Supreme Court, and a Justice Department that said "how high" whenever that Executive Branch said "jump", and ..., and ..., and...

Oh Lordy! That ship has SO sailed that it has been lost at sea, found, de-commissioned, sunk, salvaged, re-furbished, run aground on the rocks, re-floated, and sunk again.

OK, for old times sake, I'll bite ONE more time: Just what privilege does HRC have?
- No enemies?
- Unlimited political power?
- Bottomless supply of $$$
- A secret military that actually controls the entire world.
- The Illuminati on speed dial?
- Knowledge of all the Free Mason handshakes?
- Geronimo's skull in her purse?
- The Bilderberg Group paying obsequious homage?

How DOES she do it and keep it all a secret???
No doubt her power is so extensive that she actually won the 2016 election and placed Donald Trump in the White House to throw everyone off her scent!

This "if only" charade has gone on for so long that I've developed an allergy to popcorn, thank you very little!

Even if by some trans-dimensional miracle (and the Second Coming is put on hold!), the GOP finally "nails" HRC, there will always be the question:

WTF took you so long?

Remember all the whining about a year ago as the Federal Reserve was making small increases to their interest rate?
It seems their efforts provides them with some room to decrease their interest rate today.

Which means donations to the organization would be tax deductible. As such, this reduces the amount of collected tax revenue. In other words: there ain't no free lunch.

So?

Albert Einstein's first job was being a clerk at the Swiss Patent Office (and he was lucky to get that as he was unable to secure a teaching position after graduating from Zurich Polytechnic!).

AOC majored in International Relations and Economics at Boston University and graduated cum laude. She also interned for Senator Ted Kennedy's section on foreign affairs and immigration while attending Boston University.

Congrats!
You now have something in common with Senator Cruz.

Or ask FDR, who appointed a communist dupe, Henry Wallace, as his VP.

So now you're saying it DOES matter who is the VP?

Yeah, we knew that already. Thanks for affirming it, though.

"Yeah, whatever. The VP is a reasonable choice. Just ask Joe Biden.

This completely ignores the point JOHNNY_HOTSAUCE was making in #1.

Just ask Teddy Roosevelt.

I can appreciate that it strains credulity to consider that President Trump conducts himself according to anything resembling "a plan". That said, I was just tossing out a speculation that seemed to fit his seeming recent chaos. Maybe labelling it a "strategy" is being a bit too generous. However, IMHO, I believe President Trump (by hook or crook) fully intends to expand the authority of the Executive Branch and especially to do so by weakening the Judicial Branch and Legislative Branches. He has always swooned to the Siren call of Power and now that he is within 'earshot', there is essentially nothing to rein him in.

For those who are mystified by President Trump's recent "dabblings" in legal issues, one interpretation might help clarify what he is doing:

President Trump is asserting the Executive Branch's power over the Judicial Branch. The one thing that is consistent is his repeated erosion of the authority of (and confidence in) the Judicial Branch. What lately might seem to be erratic, even capricious, actions by the President are actually very strategic and carefully planned efforts to reduce the Judicial Branch's role as part of the government's system of checks and balances. This only leaves the Legislative Branch to fulfill that role. Sen. McConnell has essentially stymied the effectiveness of the Legislative Branch for the past dozen or so years. Watch for bizarre finagling by the Executive Branch if Sen. McConnell loses that power after the November 2020 elections. Of course, it won't be anything obviously blatant as it more likely will be framed in terms of "for the public good" (* cough *).

I'm just waiting for the complaints about all the time/money wasted in this investigation/prosecution effort from the usual suspects!
