Perception is reality.
If the conservative base sees it as a "win", well then, to them it is, regardless of the various (judicial) outcomes...

YesYNot says

This is a win for Mercer, but not for Trump or his voters.

errc says

Must be nice to live in lala land

It's nice yes, but the traffic can be just awful!

You're saying he gave up, this isn't even the 100 day mark yet. You are so callously petty it's the only transparency left in the Left.

I'd say without even looking at other comments that the "win" was in not repealing--it would have been entirely on the republicans for better or worse and probably worse. It was foolish to try that quickly anyway. Something that took over a year to work out would have needed at least that length of time to replace in any cogent fashion.

Libs lose another state seat, Libs still hemorrhaging seats to our movement.

"He will only get done what the Liberal coalition of Obama's George Soros money will allow him to do."

wtf? He is a Republican President with a Republican majority House, a Republican majority Senate, soon to be a Republican majority Supreme Court. How the hell does the liberal coalition of Soros have any power?

Are you being coy or you really that ignorant to the reality in Washington right now?
Trump is being sabotaged by McCain, Ryan, Grahm and quite a few other RINO's.
Who are working in close tandem with the Liberals. Noticed the Democrats kept their mouth shut while brother Paul Ryan tried to do all of their dirty work.
I think it's hilarious that Trump then blamed the Democrats for the failure. And the American voter agrees. Priceless!!!!

"Are you being coy or you really that ignorant to the reality in Washington right now? Trump is being sabotaged by McCain, Ryan, Grahm and quite a few other RINO's."

No, he is being sabotaged by the Freedom Caucus. The most anti-establishment wing of the Republican party. He is being done in by the ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT. How ironic is that?

"Noticed the Democrats kept their mouth shut while brother Paul Ryan tried to do all of their dirty work."

You're delusional. Paul Ryan tried to pass another bill that would enrich the 1%. Just like Trump's own tax plan. It was exactly what Trump wanted.

"I think it's hilarious that Trump then blamed the Democrats for the failure. And the American voter agrees. Priceless!!!!"

bwahahahaha. The American voter has placed blame exactly where it belongs--on Trump. His approval rating is the worst ever for a President at this point in his term. It is beyond crappy. It's historically bad.

Yup I'll take a Trump Hitler over the Establishment Stalin.

We'll see wont we. The view from here is the Liberals and the RINOs are the grotesque monsters here. You guys really live n a bubble.
People are not as reactive toward Trump as they were, they are being repulsed by the Deep State for sure. They might not have swallowed the Red Pill but they are Woke, make no mistake they Woke. The future elections will be a who's who of novice candidates, the career politician is the walking dead until 2018 when they get the Memo.
I don't know what to tell ya, that is the next eventuality. I would like to ponder what Trump will get done between now and 2018. But we all know everyone in Washington DC took Micheal Moore plea to heart to resist the President of the United States.

You Bastards have no earthly idea how terrifying that is to EVERY voter, that still believes in America. You guys are the ones that would shoot them in the head and dump them in the lime pit if you don't get your way. I think everyone in the world has seen your movie before.

Just remember the guy that screams "Hitler" the loudest, is fucking Hitler.

Any consequence of Trump / EPA for ARLP?

Good question, I've been wondering why ARLP isn't making me any money lately.

I see mostly "buy" or "strong buy" ratings...yet, it keeps dropping...So far I have been buying on every $ down move. Although, yesterdays 4.5% down opening I missed.

I don't quite get whats not to like about a 50% surprise earnings company with a 8.3% (as of today) dividend.

Tim Aurora says

We will not let a dictator come to power

He was kept pretty well in check this week. It's really just phony hysteria.

So you claim he's hitler and a dictator fascist threat to our civilization with his despotic ways. Aaaand then the next week you complain that he can't get anything done because he's following the constitution and people in other branches of government are opposing him.
If Trump is a dictator, he's the weakest one ever!
Ya'all need to get your "narrative" straight. The one you're running with doesn't make a lick of sense and is getting awful Neilson ratings.

That's fine but I wasn't referring to TPB in any way. He's a bit nuttier than I can deal with on most of his posts. That isn't to say that he's always wrong, but just unreliable and I wasn't referring to anything he's said. Just the OMG LITERALLY HITLER trash I've seen from Patnet's resident Leftists like you.

So they are trying to justify their dirty deeds.

Straw Man says

No Hillary in WH is a win in itself.

Yes!

This seems to be true:

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez has launched a major overhaul of the party's organization, which has been stung by recent crises — and the DNC has requested resignation letters from all current staffers.

But it doesn't matter. The DNC will continue to lose as long as its sole focus is identity politics.

Working class people are all equally in need of representation, but the DNC destroys their ability to get that representation by dividing them by race, gender, religion, and bizarre sexual preferences. And they do it over and over.

NPR is about nothing but division most of the time. It normally takes about 10 seconds from turning it on until they deliberately divide people by one of the above categories by praising anyone except straight white men.

May they lose, and lose, and lose again until they get back to their roots as representing the working class and not dividing it just because George Soros wants them to.

It's ambiguous. Does sounds like they were spying on Trump's team, but it's not completely clear.

Very interesting that there is no mention of Farkas in news.google.com, but there is in, say, news.bing.com

Google is clearly censoring things for partisan reasons, further destroying their credibility.

Trump just needs to wait his turn to use the same resources to spy on his future Democratic opponents. Fair is fair.

Whatever happened to dogpile.com?

I just looked at their ticker symbol BCOR, and it's been steaming of late. I kinda forgot it existed until Patrick comment on google vs bing

I'm a Democrat!
I'm a Republican!
That makes you both ASSHOLES!

Ever since Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) initiated its dividend in March 2012, the tech giant has increased its dividend every year in March or April. With the company recently adopting the practice of announcing its annual dividend increase alongside its fiscal-second quarter results, Apple should announce its dividend increase for 2017 next month. Here's a close look at Apple's dividend, as well as an overview of what investors should expect from this year's increase. Consistent increases Apple's dividend increases have been very consistent and predictable.

Well, if he's active, informed, and smart, then Trump might as well suck his cock and do what he says, right?

All Farkas is saying is that she thinks that Trump will try to bury the intelligence we have gathered, and will try to cut off the source of intelligence. So, she told people in Congress to seek out the information before Trump had a chance to hide it. She didn't say how they got the intel, and didn't say that Obama had anything to do with it. She also said: I talked with my former colleagues and found that they were also trying to get information to the Hill. She then referred to this as leaking. If the order came from above, she wouldn't have had to talk to her colleagues to figure it out. She is saying that they are doing the leaking (whistle blowing) independently.

She certainly didn't say that Trump was spied on. She also didn't disparage Kislyak, so the compliment she gave him earlier doesn't contradict this and doesn't mean that he is going to be good to the US.

Any investing tips to play this range-bound (manipulated) market ?

Buy low, and sell high. Works every time!!!

Ironman says

Who was her boss, who did she work for?

Obama was in charge, but he wasn't responsible for every leak. If you blame Obama for every action in the government while he was in charge, you should likewise blame Trump for every leak since Jan 20. After all, he is in charge, right?

Ironman says

...." The Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff dealing with Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we would not longer have access to that intelligence."

What does your crystal ball tell you about how they know what they know. Farkas doesn't tell you, so I want to know what you see through your tongue in Trump's ass glasses. My interpretation is that if Trump finds out their methods for producing information on the Russian operation that ended up crossing paths with Trump's associates, he will shut down those operations to sabotage the investigation. That is an opinion about Trump's behavior. It is not an admission of her own behavior.

Apple

lol

All i do is win, win, win no matter what

and there we are bitching and its up 4.2%

I'm guessing that any replacements will be just as corrupt/

You know there's another side to the whole Obama wiretapped Trump thing.
The fact they wiretapped him and didn't find anything to hang him with.
He was probably boasting to who ever he was talking to, how he killed them on CNN in every phone call he made.

Trump is just an O.G. Prankster.

Ironman says

intelligence between Trump and the Russians..

If you are saying that they heard conversations between Trump and Russians, no one has ever denied that. They were listening to the Russians. Trump kept calling the fucking Russians, so the feds heard him speak. What's so hard to understand about that.

PCGyver says

Please let us know at what point in the video she admitted that they were spying on trump.

Ironman says

Try listening again around the 25 second mark

I did. Interesting that Ironman is now posting threads about intelligence that exists confiming Trumps people conspiring with Russians about the U.S. Presidential election. THank you sir, well done. Keep up the good work.

Dr. Evelyn Fuckass. Heh heh. Fuckass.
