Trump, for all his faults, is our only representation outside of the two-identical-party system.

You guys got the government you deserved. All the way Republican. This is 2001 all over again!

The lefties are going to rue the day they picked the Russian conspiracy. They are increasingly sounding like bgamall4- no wonder he does not post-he is normal now-he can just go talk to a crowd of lefties and be perfectly normal.

When Will Trump Host Toddler T-Ball Games Like the Last Retarded GOP President, George W Bush?

I'm surprised he hasn't already. It's a great opportunity to grab that sweet, succulent MILF pussy.

Trump is too busy grabbing middle aged white guys buy the pussy. They seem to respond best to it.

Stick to your knitting, Trump and Trumpkins

Trump could only sponsor, he couldn't make the T-ball team.

Maybe they realize the people don't care what they think.

• a person may be employed as a computer programmer and may use information technology skills and knowledge to help an enterprise achieve its goals in the course of his or her job is not sufficient to establish the position as a specialty occupation. Thus, a petitioner may not rely solely on the Handbook to meet its burden when seeking to sponsor a beneficiary for a computer programmer position. Instead, a petitioner must provide other evidence to establish that the particular position is one in a specialty occupation as defined by 8 CFR 214.2(h)(4)(ii) that also meets one of the criteria at
• Accordingly, USCIS officers must also review the LCA to ensure the wage level designated by the petitioner corresponds to the proffered position. If a petitioner designates a position as a Level I, entry-level position, for example, such an assertion will likely contradict a claim that the proffered position is particularly complex, specialized, or unique compared to other positions within the same occupation.
• Officers are also reminded that USCIS does not bear the burden of establishing that a particular position does not qualify as a specialty occupation. Instead, the petitioner bears the burden of establishing eligibility for the benefit sought. Section 291 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1361. Accordingly, USCIS officers may not approve a petition based on inconclusive statements from the Handbook about the entry-level requirements for a given occupation. Rather, the petitioner bears the burden to submit probative evidence from objective and authoritative sources that the proffered position qualifies as an H-1B specialty occupation.

The noose is just starting to tighten on Obama admin. Trump is a master.

Ironman says

If that was the case, why hasn't he been given immunity yet?

Jesus Christ. He's referring to the fact that both Trump and Flynn are on video stating that people who ask for immunity are guilty. They repeated it gleefully when they were talking about somebody else. Now, that Flynn has asked for immunity, they are singing a different tune. That's what Tim was talking about.

This narrative is about providing your team with something to be excited about. You click all of the links trying to find some evidence to prove your side of the story correct. It's generating lots of revenue for the blogs.

Rice has some 'splaining to do, but the real story remains Trump and the investigation of potential deals with Russia.

Should this focus strictly on FAMILY LAW reform, or is it worth broadening the scope a bit to include Men's Rights issues like false rape accusations going unprosecuted?

> Most petitions in California consist of people signing at supermarkets but I think we can invent an entirely new distribution system via YouTube, Reddit, 4chan, and other alternative media. Petition pages can be mailed or possibly even emailed for a single signature. However due to apathy among California voters, NOW is the time because the signature requirements have never been lower.

Firsthand experience with these. Make no mistake, we'll get about 85,000 signatures through single send-ins and volunteer gatherers. That means 1/2 million PAID signatures needed.

Reality: It will take $1M to get on the ballot, and several more if/when we do.

That is like 1 year of what Charlie sheen used to pay in child support. i think you can get it!

After 8 months of investigations-there is no proof. However it appears the President spied on his political opponent-this is dangerous terrirtory.

Ironman says

Yes, that's the ONLY reason why someone would ask for immunity, because they're guilty... right?

No. Of course there are other reasons to ask for immunity. Thanks for admitting that Trump and Flynn were lying throughout the campaign. Please attend some ESL classes or something to try to improve your comprehension.

Are you really this ignorant, or do you just misinterpret everything to troll people? Some models are good, but produce a bad output, because someone puts garbage into the model. You could have perfect data as an input, and you would produce garbage output, because your logic circuit is fried.

lostand confused says

I love how you extended that same logic to Hillary. I also love how you demand proof (100%?) that Trump did something wrong, yet are happy to hang Obama on appearances (whatever that qualifies as such) in the next sentence.

Of course, the United States never interferes in the politics of sovereign nations. After all, we are the good guys!

YesYNot says

With Hilalry we actually got documents-aka the smoking gun-from wikileaks. With Trump where are the docs??????

Many oBama folks are actually saying there is no evidence of collusion, plenty of leaks-but where is the documents/leaks that shows the collusion????????????????

Tim Aurora says

Susan Rice not only didn’t do anything wrong, she did exactly what we would expect of a national security adviser.

What!? A national security official asking for information from a security council and White House sources? Unheard of!

(Psssst! Don't tell Trump he can do this! When he finds out he can request all this stuff as the President, and the implications building against him and his administration, well ... he will be able to defend himself from what is coming more ... SHHHHhhhhhh. Quiet!)

Get the leakers!
How dare Susan try and defend our government!

You guys are mistaking the legal system for some kind of common sense.

I read an account about a lawyer who left family law, because he said the divorce bar gets together every year for no other ostensible purpose except to make the proceedings more needlessly complicated, expensive, interminable, and adversarial.

Why would they take any measures that would make gouging the marital estate less difficult and arbitrary? Accusing men of molesting children is pretty much standard operating procedure in order to increase the acrimoniousness of the proceedings. Lawyers have a license to libel and slander, it's the way they get the ball rolling, and they are never really punished, the consequences fall on their clients while they walk away with the dough.

No need to sugarcoat it here, you can speak freely

Tim Aurora says

Trump was not Obama's opponent. No information was ever provided to Hillary.

Obama made it personal on the campaign and made it about his legacy. A sitting President spying on the opposition party is terrible. As for Hillary--Farkas....

The problem wasn't The DNC rigging the primary against Bernie, the problem was Wikileaks exposing it

Wait hold on a minute, I'm getting a Putin mind control communiqué... "he said suck his ass."

Rew says

Get the leakers!

Obama did, without mercy. James Risen, anyone?

Still waiting for evidence, and a definition of "Hacked an Election". I'd like to know what that means.

Also, a great way to get proof would have the FBI and/or Volunteer Cybersecurity Experts with no financial incentive, examine the DNC Server. Why is the DNC not cooperating?

Until the DNC fully cooperates, I figure they are just keeping the issue alive indefinitely and avoiding attempts to find conclusive evidence one way or another, for political purposes.

PCGyver says

Why is that so hard for you to accept?

Do you think he really doesn't get it or he's pulling our chain? If it's option A, the elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Or maybe it's like a Trump building, where the top floor number is an exaggeration, and there are really 12 less floors than advertised.

OK. Flynn said probably, and I didn't recall that. Trump wasn't so courteous at the time. What's Flynn saying now? Well, we all know he broke the statutes, because he's already admitted as much be filing correct paperwork after the fact. They are both singing a different tune about immunity now regardless of Flynn's more cautious use of the word probably.

Feman, despite this small win on your part, your posts are still illogical gibberish.

President Trump says many things, and he would benefit from an advisor who can remind him of when he got it right:

"Let [ISIL/Daesh] and Syria fight. And let Russia, they're in Syria already, let them fight [ISIL/Daesh.] Let Russia take care of [ISIL/Daesh]. How many places can we be?
***
Assad, to me, looks better than the other side and, you know, this has happened before. We back a certain side and that side turns out to be a total catastrophe. Russia likes Assad seemingly a lot. Let them worry about [ISIL/Daesh]. Let them fight it out."

We have Democrats, the deep state, and many on the left in an incoherent coalition demanding endless war in the middle east, and the spread of Islam, which is a formula for even more violence and mass surveillance. When you see a cat and a mouse running toward each other in the dark, you can infer that the mouse is likely being manipulated by toxoplasma gondii. When you see identitarian liberals embracing endless war, Islam, and mass surveillance, you can infer that the left have been hypnotized to disagree with President Trump even when he's right.

Dan8267 says

It's conservatives who oppose such reforms, particularly those on the left.

left and conservatives are the opposite. Yeah Dan, way to go get yourself confused.

I thought curious2 did give a specific answer.

FortWayne says

left and conservatives are the opposite. Yeah Dan, way to go get yourself confused.

Hardly. The left and the right are just different conservative tribes. They still hold the same tenets like using the state to enforce a culture onto the general population. See Leftists and Social Justice Warriors are Conservatives for details. I'll draw you a picture to make it easy for you to understand.

Liberals are orthogonal to the left-right line, and politics has more than one dimension. The conservative right has more in common with the conservative left, communism, and Islamsim than any of those things have in common with liberalism. We liberals reject all conservative tribes regardless of your culture. Meanwhile, each of you conservative tribes fight each other and call each other liberals. An Islamist would call a right-wing conservative like you a liberal. So too would a communist living living in the 1960s Soviet Union.

If you are still confused, Fort Wayne, then let me know and I'll see if I can dumb it down even more with sock puppets.

Yes, I got this:

Let Russia deal with it.

Meanwhile, Europe pays the price ... and so does Russia.
Didn't they just have a train go boom?

Ironman says

My posts will then make a lot more sense.

Your posts have failed logic. It goes beyond problem that you are dealing with alternative facts.

Send a dozen of cruise missiles taking out whatever assets are most valuable for Assad. And one or two into his residence, of course. Just on general principle that use of chemical weapons should be punished. This is what Obama should've done the very first time the "red line" was crossed.

Obama continually pushed for ceasefires from Russia and Assad. With that gone the happy-fun-time weapons are back.

New shift from us is a mass deployment of ground troops to train up Syrian nationals to fight IS.

If it's me, I cruise missile me some responsible air bases. But I likely do it after pulling in some DDGs and other naval assets, and telling Putin and Assad, "do it again and we take further steps, which include strikes, against those responsible."

Similar play with China and N Korea. "We don't want to deploymisdile defense systems. We don't want to preemptively strike. How can you help us?"

But Trump is a big zero in diplomacy.

Rew says

If it's me...we take

Those would be acts of war by the United States against Syria, a country that has not even threatened us with acts of war in a very long time, maybe since the Barbary Wars ~200 years ago. (Some accuse Syria of involvement in Pan Am Flight 103, but America decided to blame Kadaffy, and besides the DEA had reportedly a role in weakening security on that flight, so that may have inhibited investigation.)

I propose a new rule regarding wars against countries that have neither attacked us nor threatened to do so. If people want to get involved in yet another foreign war, then let them pledge personally to pay for it and to serve in it. If corporations and foreign governments want it, then let them pledge money too. KSA and Turkey have been arming and financing "anyone who would fight against Assad," including al-Qaeda. The sum pledged and deposited becomes the total budget for the war proposal, and the Senate can decide whether to declare it. If the Senate declares it, then the President as commander-in-chief can decide whether to fight it, with the stipulation that the TOTAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE will be strictly limited to the budget and volunteers pledged personally by supporters. No borrowing, no conscription, and no tax increases for unnecessary wars.

That might shut up some of the sadists who get their rocks off by blasting other human beings apart and seeing the blood on TV.

YesYNot says

Nonsense.

Zero evidence of trump/russia collusion.

Compare that to proof of felony leaking, as well as unmasking ... Only confused fools think Trump/Russia is the real story.

I'm with curious, NOTHING (without arming the rebels) is the right policy here. Not criticizing Obummer for doing nothing (he got that right IMO even though he shouldn't have made the red line comment in the first place), but for arming the rebels.

You think people like them who have no ability to keep their wealth, have an ability to make wealth? No, they are doomed to perennial failure because the lack what it takes to be successful. Don't blame the capitalist system for the lack of common sense most people have.

Ehh, wealth can happen, so can poverty, illness, you feel wealthy, good for you: Start showing it instead of using it as a club to beat people. Make a difference.

Wealth doesn't just happen. It is created. Same goes for poverty. If you can't make it in America, try making it in Venezuela. Illness happens, you got something right.
Lazy Welfare recipients who are able bodied deserve to be criticized. You want to congratulate them?
