And who shows up on schedule for comments 16 and 17 but "After" and "Birth" - go figure - but it's all about the "transparency"

Why are the Democrats doing the silly Cohen BS show while this is going on? Talk about fucked up priorities!

Why was Trump doing a photo op in Vietnam that ended up in a galactic failure...talk about fucked up priorities !

Going to be long humbling 8,000 mile plane ride back to Washington - the 4 & 5D chess player gets check mated - again

Hey what happened to that extreme crisis on the border that needed an executive action - shouldn't Potus have stayed home to see the country thru that crisis and sent Pence to Vietnam ?

Hey what happened to that extreme crisis in Venezuela - shouldn't Potus have stayed home to see the country thru that crisis and sent Pence to Vietnam ?

Hey what happened to that extreme crisis with Iran - shouldn't Potus have stayed home to see the country thru that crisis and sent Pence to Vietnam ?

I'm wondering if this might at some point provide a stock buying opportunity.

Looks like Pakistan is backing down.

How is that "witness tampering?" The info was put out anyway, not withheld if Cohen did not do as anyone asked.

It is an unbelievable stretch to call his jabs at Cohen "witness tampering," but I will agree that anyone with 7 DUIs belongs in jail.

It was? So then who is Cohen's mistress?

Seriously? The info that he had a mistress is already out. By your logic, you must agree the whole Cohen brought before Congress is nothing more than an attempt to extort a sitting President.

Massive TDS on display here

Blushing while referring to another poster is a telltale sign of lying...
Elgatouno says

Yet you
can't tell me whom Cohen's mistress is?

Elgatouno says

Seriously you didn't know that Gaetz was referring to Cohen having a mistress?

Ha Ha..

It's Liberal Projection and MAJOR TDS, here is what witness tampering REALLY looks like:

At least we’ve finally stopped donating billions to Pakistan’s military.
Who the actual fuck thought that was a great idea?

Hircus says

very deep, non-obvious strategies in politics

Doubt it. The simplest explanation is usually correct.
MisterLearnToCode says

Because GOPe don't want it.

If Trump could not push it through with R majorities, he will not be able to do now.
My thinking is that no one wants a WALL! except a substantial part of electorate. That is the reason why Wall was not brought for vote when R's were in majority. Or WALL! is an issue that can be handily used in next elections again. If it is built, need to find another issue to rile up electorate.

Funding Islam not only eliminate enemy but it can turn in reverse and eliminate the sponsor from the roots as well.

That means at least there is one smart man out there who knows what he is doing.

The latest defeat came on Wednesday, as the House debated legislation requiring background checks on all gun sales — a position overwhelmingly favored by Democrats. When Republicans moved to amend the bill to require Immigration and Customs Enforcement be told of any undocumented immigrant who tries to buy a gun, 26 Democrats voted with the GOP. The language was added to the gun bill, spoiling an important Democratic legislative achievement.

Bwahaha. That was the end of that.

I’m pretty sure someone made a comic about Barry as well.

Hero or whore for the deep state: you be the judge.

Was she eating a hamburger in the book?

The $10k SALT limit may not matter to a lot of high-income residents because AMT is greatly eased and the federal tax brackets are a little eased as well. In the past, I have been able to take advantage of exactly 0 in SALT deductions because of AMT; this year I didn't hit AMT and instead paid regular tax, which is computed using more generous brackets.

I ran my income numbers on TurboTax 2018. then I ran my income numbers on TurboTax 2017 (TT 2017 with the data from year 2018) and found that the federal taxes using TurboTax 2018 were lower. i.e.: I saved money under the 2018 tax rules because of more generous tax brackets, the $12k standard deduction, and not hitting the less-severe AMT.

"Spiraling entitlements, unwieldy pension costs, money wasted on high-speed rail, inadequate water storage and delivery, and lax immigration policies" ... yes, these are all devastating long-term problems.

20th century taught us that even a bad system will stay as long as it can until a revolution overthrows it. And that can take a very long time.

Better a comic than a reality show, wouldn't want to get too depressed.

The article says 1/2 the births in California are funded by Medicaid. Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF.org) reports that 60% of non-elderly Medicaid recipients in California are Hispanic.

I read this as that the major increase in population within California is poor and Hispanic. Who is going to keep paying the taxes to support not only these poor, but also the public school teachers, and public servants ? Eventually California is going to be a lot more poor than Mississippi yet it will operate generously like a Blue state as far as state pensions, etc.

As recently as two days ago, Bernie was promising to release 10 years of his tax returns.

Guess he changed his mind:

Go Bernie, please be the Democratic Frontrunner.

I want a Bernie - Bloomberg Fight.

I'm guessing that silicon valley is keeping the whole state afloat. Engineers here that own a shack and make $250k/year are probably paying $40k/year in various taxes to California (in addition to $90k/year to the feds).

We had a similar case back in Soviet Union at a school where I was studying in 1980's. Kid got yelled at by a local Communist functionary, his parents were called (and they probably spanked the kid at home), and it ended right there...seems like a correct punishment for a 12-yr old idiot

Where did the child got his inspiration from ?

Social media ?

Playmates ?

Maybe right at home huh ? Just repeating what is heard at home or at the homes of his parent's friends.

Queens residents have never been known for tolerance of anything that wasn't exactly like them - White Anglo-Saxon Protestants aka WASPs.

As per the rapes the standard response on this forum for the last few years is basically "boys will be boys", and somehow the woman is more at fault than the man and besides most of the rape claims are false anyway so why bother to investigate them.

Saw it in a movie most prob.

Spent any time out in the area now ? 75 to 25% chance or greater it came straight from home. What didn't come from home came from the school and or church.

If you are not a WASP - Queens really is not someplace you want to hang out.

Kakistocracy says

"boys will be boys"

give all boys a CHAIR! especially if they are fucking white males who ALL! are rapists anyway, or rapists-in-training if they have not reached puberty yet

There are plenty of highly paid, useless white collar workers at places like MetLife, Bank of America, etc.

If anything, automation will go for the knowledge workers who pretty much, do the same thing, year after year.

That also applies to people whose work can be easily offshored via telecommuting as was covered in another thread.
