"No, I'm not going to pledge that," Blanche told NBC's "Meet the Press" after Kristen Welker asked whether DOJ would "always act independently" of the White House.

Blanche said "yes, of course" Trump should have a voice in individual prosecution decisions.

"The president of the United States, the elected president of the United States, says something to me," he said.

"And I'm supposed to say to you, 'I would say no.' I mean, that's not the way it works."

Ft Hood is an amazing place... I was there visiting while in college; a mile at least of tanks all in a row pointing towards the street we were on.

Also, there was a Jethro Tull cover band playing at the servicemen's bar.

This is a 4 min video, and the rest of the text is under the video in about 4 short paragraphs.

(the video is actually tornadoes in flatlands... which I think may be to convey the message: ""Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.".

The US is a democratic republic headed towards being an Authoritarian Corrupt Capitalist society like China, just hiding behind democracy rather than communism.

Since you haven't a clue, let's give you one; prior to Reaganism and Supply Side Economics, companies paid a Living Wage and welfare entitlements weren't so necessary; people could afford healthcare, homes, and education.

Your perspective is rather weird for a supposed Bernie supporter turned Trump Obfuscator.

Social Democracies are usually prosperous, happy democracies; even businesses and commercial interests do well.

Authoritarian hell holes like Russia, China, NK, and others with Socialist or Communist facades hiding Crony Capitalist governments are thrilled to see Trumpublicans turning America into the same kind of Authoritarian hell hole.

A distinction sans any difference; just another lame Whataboutism that changes nothing I said.... Trump is bankrupting the country more and faster than ever.

But I do have confidence that someday you'll learn how to make an argument to the point made rather post an attempted distraction that merely highlights the fact that you have no argument at all to what was said; merely a sad deflection.

We should just call it what it is, the Epstein Distraction War.

A couple of years after Woodstock, I had a Penn State Hwy Patrol officer in that wide brimmed hat and black leather high-boots stop my 18 wheeler on the side of one of their mountains... one of the first I'd ever seen.

He stopped me for a bad tail light, but he seemed to get a kick out of telling me that they usually found boys from Texas in trucks down the side of of that mountain.

Great sense of humor.

Trump is Bankrupting the American Casino just like he did all his Casinos... so how is that surprising?

I was taking my Draft physical and listening to Country Joe sing about my friends coming home in a box.

'Nam was a war for the MIC to get rich on Gov Defense Contracts... so, nothing much has changed all the way to Iran now.

Jorma is still alive and kicking (ok, barely) with his ytube channel.

"The magical thinking sold to the American people was that giving tax cuts to the rich would improve the lives of the majority. Laffer's theory provided a foundation for supply-side economics and was illustrated by the Laffer Curve, which he famously drew on a paper napkin for then-White House Chief of Staff Dick Cheney in the 1970s.

If the notion that cutting taxes increases revenue seems counterintuitive, there's a good reason: It's not supported by research. When that idea becomes the basis for government policy, it can have disastrous consequences."

"Key Takeaways
Supply-side economics asserts that tax cuts and deregulation spur growth by enriching businesses.

Critics argue supply-side policies disproportionately benefit the wealthy and exacerbate inequality.

Historical data shows tax cuts don't consistently lead to job creation or investment boosts.

Evidence suggests supply-side economics doesn't guarantee stronger economic growth or higher tax revenue.

The theory lacks evidence that tax cuts pay for themselves through increased revenue."

1Nut Math excludes the FACT that immigration in this country has for decades been a net plus for the US Economy.

"The fiscal picture

Immigrants are a fiscal boon to the U.S. In a new report released by the Cato Institute, the authors update a model created by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine the impacts of immigrants on the U.S. government's budget.

Their findings are clear:

In each year from 1994 to 2023, across all levels of government, immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits.

This resulted in a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 U.S. dollars over that period, including savings on interest payments on the national debt."
