"Woods did a breathalyzer test, blew triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he's been charged with DUI...Our DUI investigators came to the scene here. And Mr. Woods did exemplify the signs of impairment." Budensiek said.

Sounds like the prosecution may have a hard time making the case. Refusal to submit to a urine test in Florida can be used against you and Tiger's previous arrest hurts his case but I'm sure Tiger can find a doctor that would testify that he was concussed from the accident and the cops confused those symptoms with intoxication. My guess, plea to reckless driving and avoid a DUI charge like he did after his 2017 arrest. Hopefully this time they will suspend his license. I mean it's not like he can't afford a driver.

-Trump lied and the GOP has sat on their hands.
Are you suggesting a president made a promise they knew was politically unrealistic but promised it anyway?
Now, that's not a way to NOT call Trump a liar. He lied. Period. No point is minimizing it by suggesting he was naive or his heart was in the right place but should have known congress wouldn't go for it, etc.....LOL
but it's not my first time seeing something like that

That's not what I'm suggesting. This wasn't an unfulfilled campaign promise or some nebulous policy statement delivered at the state of the union that can be spun to mean something else or blamed on the opposition party for something not occurring.
It was a clear statement that a fully detailed plan existed and would soon be delivered for Congressional debate. Had his statement been true then I think it may have been politically feasible. Republicans in Congress would have loved to replace Obama's biggest legislative victory with something from their party and I think quite a few Democrats would have been receptive to negotiations had a plan be presented that would actually provide coverage for everyone while lowering deductibles.
Trump lied and the GOP Congress did nothing. Meanwhile the healthcare industry put a lot of long term decisions on hold while we waited to see what the new President was bringing to the table.
Trump is still repeating the lie to this day. The White House even went as far as releasing "The Great Healthcare Plan" earlier this year. Have you read it? It is laughable. It's no plan at all. That plan that we were told was completely formulated and ready to introduce 10 years ago is nothing more than a single page of catchphrases and platitudes so Trump can tell his cult devotees that he delivered something. He will try to blame Democrats for it's failure and some on this site will buy his line despite it not being anywhere close to being draft legislation or even a framework for a comprehensive plan. Meanwhile problems 2 & 3, the GOP lead House and Senate, will continue to take no leadership on the issue and just keep deferring to Trump like they've done for a decade.

If you believe that the mess our healthcare system is in is the fault of the Republicans, you have a very simplistic view of the issues involved. There are many competing interests, the entire political class is just one.

Literally no one thinks that. As I stated above, a single Independent is responsible for us not already having a public option.

While the GOP is not solely responsible, I hope you would at least acknowledge the Party's intransigence on the issue.
They currently hold majorities in both houses of Congress as well as the the White House yet they've offered no alternative to the current system other than raising costs on 22 million Americans by stripping ACA subsidies. It's been more than a decade since Donald Trump promised to deliver a comprehensive plan to replace ACA. It was in January of 2016 when Trump said his plan would provide "insurance for everybody" and "much lower deductibles" was "very much formulated down to the final strokes" and would be announced right after his Secretary of HHS received confirmation. That plan was never introduced and Republicans have spent the past decade doing next to do nothing on the issue.
Trump lied and the GOP has sat on their hands.

When asked what false statements Powell is suspected of making, Deputy US Attorney Andrew Massucco replied "Well, we don't know." Then when asked what evidence the DoJ has to support an investigation into fraud or misconduct, Massucco replied "we do not know at this time."

It appears they are launching a criminal probe for no other reason than Powell disagrees with Trump on lowering interest rates.

Look at fistedp^&&* simping for Trump.

I blocked that account long ago so I don't have to. It has never posted a word worth reading.

Congress should fix this.

Fix what? Are you expecting companies to maintain the existing logins of other companies they acquire in perpetuity?

now Walmart will know everything you view on your Visio TV, likely including DVDs and other video sources?
Is Walmart sharing this personal data with DHS?

Walmart purchased Vizio a few years back so they already have access to your data if you are using a Vizio account.

The government failed to indict her 3 times last year. There have been entire years where the DOJ did not have that many failures. This must be some sort of record.

We've already replaced the job of first lady with an bitter, angry android.

We need to reduce the cost, not just shift them to third and fourth party payers.

Cutting out the expense associated with dealing with the private insurance industry would save US health care providers around half a trillion per year.

We would have had a public option if not for Joe Lieberman.

Biden monetized classified documents that he had no right to access.

Then why hasn't Trump prosecuted him? I mean that's MAGATS big defense for Trump isn't it? Trump must not be guilty of sex trafficking and raping girls despite all of the evidence that has come out that says otherwise Biden would have prosecuted him.

Gregory's victory represents a 20 point swing for the democratic candidate since the last election 17 months ago.

Just buy a luxury vacation for Thomas and he'll change his mind.

Trump should have a sign on his desk that says "The buck stops over there" surrounded by arrows that point every direction except at him.

I'll say the same thing I said when republicans were making a big deal about Elizabeth Warren. American families all have our own mythology of where we come from. Many families have stories of the great-great whatever who was a Cherokee Princess. I know in my own family we were also was told we had a lot of native american and Scotch-Irish immigrants in our background. Turn out from DNA tests we now know the scotch-irish claim is true but you have to to go back 8 generations from my brother and I to find a native american relative. We have far more roots in italy and scandinavia those were never mentioned to us growing up.

I will just note that none of the MAGATS who have bashed Warren over the years have said a peep about Bovino.
If anyone wants a nickname for Bovino kind of like how Trump gave Warren one, I recommend Doublehead, a Cherokee leader who betrayed his own people.

The system gets it wrong - "At least 189 people who were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death have been exonerated since 1973. That is one person exonerated for every 8.2 people who are executed...The quality of counsel had a direct impact on sentencing outcomes. More than 200 death sentences were imposed in Philadelphia, PA in cases in which defendants were represented by poorly trained and underfunded court-appointed counsel. No one represented by the Philadelphia public defender's specialized homicide unit ever was sentenced to death."

The system is geographically biased - "Just 5 counties"Harris, TX; Dallas, TX; Bexar, TX; Tarrant, TX; and Oklahoma, OK"account for more than 1/5 of all executions in the U.S. in the past 50 years...Fewer than 2.4% of all counties in the U.S. (just 75 counties) account for half of all death sentences imposed in state courts in the past 50 years"

The system is racist - "60% of Black defendants who have been executed were sentenced to death for killing white victims. Just 34.4% of executions of African Americans were for killing Black victims."

20 millions of those 'voters' seems t have evaporated

Voter participation was down in all states but 5 in 2024, those being the swing states of PA, MI, WI, GA along with the blue state of RI.

Show your math.
155 million Americans cast ballots in the 2024 Presidential election. 158 million in 2020. That's a difference of 3 million. What's this 20 million you are talking about?

The only mass election fraud that occurred was Trump fraudulently claiming there is mass fraud.

Sometimes you see a photo of someone and you just kind of know they are a sex trafficker.

Fetterman voted for him.

So I correct when I said you'd have to be brain damaged to think Mullin is qualified.

If we are going to toss out the Constitution by allowing someone who attempted to overthrow it and let that person unilaterally declare wars like a king then we might as well start putting him on money. That is what monarchies do.

Trying to make this into some kind of scandal or faux pax.

#17 | Posted by BellRinger

The entire illegal war is a scandal. We aren't a monarchy where the King can just decide to commit the nation to war. The Constitution grants that power solely to Congress. Then again we know MAGATS hate the Constitution which is why you support someone who already tried to overthrow it.

I'm pretty sure the bible says "Thou shalt murder in illegal wars"

Roberts had best be careful. He and his buddies gave Trump immunity so he can assassinate Court justices and its fine as long as he's got enough GOP votes in the Senate to protect him from removal by impeachment.
