Longer winter wheat season, what is not to like?

I love how left pretends there is warming when they can’t measure anything accurately or attribute anything correctly.

Maybe it's a serious problem. Or maybe, with the Mueller witch-hunt over, the MSM needs to invent another controversy.

Article references "the panel’s chairman, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.)," so I'm inclined to think that the opposition party is just doing what it does: opposing all things Trump.

Hillary Clinton had top security clearance and the world didn't end. I can't imagine any of the people mentioned in the article being more crooked or irresponsible.

Trump revoked Ex CIA director John Brennan's security, so I think that means he's allowed to give top security clearance to 25 people and he'll still be about at par on the security front.

Tim Aurora says

To the Trumptards, nothing matters except that they are in power.

So, basically, the never-Trumpers in charge of issuing security clearance just delay or deny all requests. This is the way the deep state thwarts the will of the people.

There is no fucking way that Obama would have gotten one if he had to go through the process like a normal person. Same for Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Thanks for reminding us that Adam Schiff needs his Security clearance revoked.

This is going to be a very long summer.

The UAW will most likely walk over new contract talks and the auto makers won't care for the short term since vehicle sales are in the toilet.

The ILWU is getting edgy and not sure yet what some of the other large unions are up to.

Saw a piece this morning that some of the larger hedge funds are "hedging" their portfolios for an impending recession

You thought wrong.

Does Trump Really Want “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”? What Does That Mean?

Trump has always been erratic on immigration. He talked about “comprehensive immigration reform” in the past. He considered introducing such a bill in his first months of office. [Trump says again that he’s open to an immigration reform bill and may mention it in his speech to Congress, by Brian Bennett, Los Angeles Times, February 28, 2017]

But what could he mean by “comprehensive immigration reform” now? Pre-Trump, it meant Amnesty for all illegal immigrants plus a massive increase in legal immigration. Trump became the Republican nominee campaigning against that idea and has always insisted on his opposition to Amnesty. While Trump has occasionally suggested Amnesty for illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors—the so-called Dreamers—in exchange for patriotic immigration reform, he has never proposed legalization for the majority of illegals.

According to some Trump World figures, “comprehensive immigration reform” now means increasing legal immigration without Amnesty. That’s the impression left by a recent op-ed from David Bossie, who was (for a while) a top aide on the Trump 2016 campaign. [An ‘America First’ immigration policy looks like this, Fox News, March 24, 2019]

Bossie asserts that an America First policy should “end the flood of illegal immigration”—while handing out more visas to high-skilled workers. Bossie defends his position by claiming mass immigration benefits the economy. But all of the studies Bossie relies on come from long-time immigration boosters, such as Trump’s chief economist Kevin Hassett:

Man creates physical flip-flops out of Trump's contradictory tweets (and flip-flops). Sells out inventory in less than 30 days.

On September 5, 2017, Sam Morrison started selling his Trump-themed flip-flops through a website called PresidentFlipFlops.com.

Morrison made 1000 pairs of flip-flops. He sold every single pair in less than a month.

Despite his marketing budget of US$0, his flip-flops went viral anyway, getting coverage from major news outlets like MSNBC, HuffPost, Fortune, and the BBC. They also made the rounds on Twitter and Reddit.

Morrison said he donated 10 per cent of every purchase to the American Civil Liberties Union.


The flip flops are permanently sold out.

Not sure if any of the "Trump" flip flops are on EBay or similar sites.

I'm confused do you really give a fuck the boarder was going to be closed. Or is this about Fuck Trump.
Commie Maggots fucking over the Country thwarting our President, then you come running telling WHAT?

What are you trying to say exactly? You want us to flip Blue now, because you have shown us the way how Petty partisan disastrous politics that will destroy our country and negate our middle class, with murderous Wetback thugs?

Yay YOU!

Good luck with the election thingy in 2020.

Trump offers Liberals gold and jewels all the time, and they slap it out of his hands.

Trump asked for a paltry measly 5 billion dollars for the boarder wall. Then agreed the Liberals would give him 1.8.
They couldn't even keep their word on that. So now Trump has 21 billion from the Pentagon budget. Enough for his original Concrete Wall from sea to shining sea.

Trump is holding back from his health care plan to unveil it next Summer during the height of the Election Season.

It's going to suck to be a Commie PIss Stain.

The art of making Leftists squeal.

The sad thing is that Trump has such a hold on his cult that if he he got behind some good health care policy such as allowing a buyin to medicare/public option, allowing medicare to negotiate with big pharma (he ran on this), popular ideas and called it Trumpcare the Republican sycophants in the Senate, even though they are against these ideas, would go along. To keep it simple, 3 or 4 ideas that are popular, that dems could or do support and would really make a difference. Not stupid ideas like selling junk insurance plans or bringing back insurance pools for people with pre-existing conditions, not a huge repeal and replace. That would go a long way to his re-election. He does know that this is a big issue for people, he reads the polls. But he is too obsessed with shitting on the black man's legacy to do anything that is coherent. Sad

And that so called plan, that will be out before the 2020 election, that he will run on. It will be a few pages of rehashed bullshit that he can lie about at his rallies. Which really is all he wants.

Yes, this is prime, as opposed to governing

Elgatouno says

That Trump flip-flops. Apparently Trumpcucks don't mind. Why is that?

Oh I guess we better Trust the race baiting Commies that are openly trying to replace white people and issue an eidcit everyday to be as violent to white people with impunity as they dare. While at the same time issuing dire warnings to white people anything that can be remotely construed as a Hate Crime will be construed as one, and you'll lose everything in an public hostile DOXING and persecution for doing so.

Yep! I better abandon Trump for that, I want to get on that Liberal Brown Asshole Train of Brown people buttfucking and asshole licking. Fuck Trump he's looking out for my best interest. Screw that! I know my lack of rights!

Where do you Clowns fucking get off? Really man!

What's the flip flop? Amazing how an entire article will elude to something without actually saying wtf they mean.

Are we to assume that political realities of not being able to repeal/replace ACA = Trump doesnt want to repeal/replace?

If so, that's simply calling reality a flip flop, which is retarded and #fakenews, again.

Elgatouno says

"going back on your word one step at a time"

How? Please be clear

Oh You better believe it! He absolutely will be talking about and he should!

His rallies are reporting 25 to 38% registered Democrat voters on reverse look up. You register and get prescreened for Trump rallies with your phone and a code that is sent to you. Trump is going to enlighten lots of Democrat Voters about how Liberals have been shitting on and resisting everything he tried to do. They'll believe him because they saw the Trump assault for 24/7 playing out on the Cable News channels, all of them.
Since all they've been fed is lies and bullshit by the Commie Liberals. They'll believe every word Trump says.

Sucks to be a Democrat politician in 2020.

Kak I relocated this post to it's appropriate thread. Hope you don't mind

Thanks - no problem, just tried to pick one this morning.

whose removing the comments and why?

Biden would take sloppy thirds on Whoopi with a cherry on top.

In another news, 22% of Russians do not have indoor plumbing in their residences, and 35% of families can not afford shoes according to Rosstat (Russian statistics agency).

Ceffer says

I don't think you understand how horrible that woman smells. Just look at creepy Joe, leaning as far away as possible.

Trump's second biggest flip flop in the past few days is his change of mind about whether he wants congress to get the full Mueller report. Apparently he has learned what's in it in the interim.

Why doesn't congress just say to the attorney general, please give us the full report so that we don't have to have a series of hearings with members of Muellers team or Mueller himself.

Don’t stop...believing...hold on to that TDS!

That's right. I'm deranged for thinking Trump is not qualified to be POTUS. Keep telling yourselves that.

In an effort to even the playing field Patrick decided to make me a moderator. I do what ever I damn well please. Go cry to Patrick.

@patrick

Is this even close to being true, or just a April Fools Day joke?

Not true. Elgatouno is not a moderator.

I think we need a more in depth investigation...its only been about 2 years and we've only spent several millions of dollars. It's at least worthy of a much more complete investigation such as the one we did on the twin towers.

marcus says

That's right. I'm deranged for thinking Trump is not qualified to be POTUS.

He's been in the job for about 2 years and the USA is still functioning...no world wars, no nuclear bombings. People are doing as well or better than they were doing during the last presidency. What exactly do you mean when you say he's not "qualified"?

komputodo says

I think we need a more in depth investigation...its only been about 2 years and we've only spent several millions of dollars.

I don't think necessarily think we need a more in depth investigation. But maybe we (or Congress) are entitled to find out the results of this one.

By the way, people say the investigation brought in more in fines than what it cost, i.e that it was profitable.

Of course Mueller's team of "17 angry Democrat" are disappointed. Let's see Mueller, himself, give a televised press release on the subject of Barr's summary.

This is a prosecutor's document, not an even-handed news report. By design, it's a one-sided piece to paint the worst possible picture of Trump with respect to Russian collusion so as to be able to go forward and have a trial. If a witness speaks well of Trump, that information doesn't go into the report. If a witness speaks of Trump collusion, that goes into the report without any rebuttal witness testimony (because no rebuttal witness is called).

Elgatouno says

Some members of the special counsel Robert Mueller's team reportedly view their findings as more damaging to President Donald Trump than Attorney General William Barr

Your title is misleading and inaccurate. No one called "bullshit" and all this report amounts to is a pile of bullshit and more rumblings from Democrats, the deep state and NYT grumbling their whole Russia collusion delusion narrative fell apart and they are desperately trying to keep it on life support.

This is a remarkably stupid play on the part of the liberals. If there is any hidden illegal activity at all in Mueller’s report, especially if it relates in anyway to Russia, it’s painfully obvious that Trump will spill the collusion beans on Hillary, Obama, The FBI, and the CIA. None of them have been his friend.

The US has a fine history of colluding with, interfering in, and overthrowing sovereign nations. On Hillary and Obama’s watch we have Libya and Egypt for certain. Syrian activity would be a nightmare. Another big nasty would be if the dynamic duo had involvement with the Ukraine in the revolutionary nastiness brewing in Kiev five years ago between them and the Russian military in the public square (not wearing uniforms).

I almost think this is a trap set by Trump. He knows they refuse to lose here, but if Mueller knew there offsetting hypocrisy, and killed the investigation, then it could be everyone BUT Trump who gets their butts kicked.

???

Oh I can't WAIT.

This is going to be epic.

deepcgi says

Ya think? It's gonna be chock full of stuff Mueller uncovered with 2800 subpeonas that ain't good for the other team, possibly Podesta or the Biden Kids or others.

WASHINGTON — Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.

Some people told some other people that something happened, some people told us. The typical "New Standard" of sourcing.
