Annie Deighnaugh I recommend watching TRMS's A block from last night. She raises some good questions that perhaps Lev will answer, but I wouldn't count on a full accounting of all this. But here's the deal if I can keep it all straight. Firtash is a genuine russian mobster...drug trafficking, prostitution rings, the whole deal. Putin set up Firtash to become a multi billionaire by allowing him to skim off some cash from every bit of gas sold into Ukraine. Lev was on Firtash's payroll as an "attorney". Firtash is under indictment and fighting extradition to the US for bribery charges. Firtash is hiding out in Vienna. Lev bragged about how he pals around with trump and has influence with the trump administration, including months before her firing, he said Marie Yovanovich was going to go. (Did trump decide this or did Lev or someone else?) Lev was also in on getting the CEO of Naftogaz fired as he brought Ukraine imports of gas from Russia from 98% to 0%...any ideas who was hurt by that decision??? Lev is under arrest for illegal campaign contributions with foreign money going to the RNC and other campaigns including trump's. Lev runs a company called "Fraud Guaranty". (You ...
studio10001 The White House would never ask for forgiveness. They insist that 45 has a right to do whatever he wants in service to the country, using whomever he wants to get it done. What holds the Senate back will be the steady 40% of Americans willing to go with that simple story, rather than the complexity of rule of law. Some much more immediate repercussion would be needed to convince those folks that impeachment was deserved. There are still followers out there claiming that 45 is protecting the constitution - even though the Supreme Court has repeatedly proven otherwise. IMO, the day of reckoning will wait for Election Day - and it may not be the reckoning 60% of the country is hoping for. Make sure you are registered well in advance, and again just before the day - retroactive rule changes are now a thing, so there is no telling what games will be played come voting time.

Annie Deighnaugh TRMS did a nice explanation of rudy and his ukranian buds...and looping in firtash....it's starting to put Mario Puzo to shame. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show ——— (NOTE: _Dmitry Firtash_ is *not* an inconsequential figure in all of this. There is information on him in Craig Unger’s book, _House of Trump House of Putin (c.2018) pages 109-113, 166, 180, 185, 188-189, 234, 269. Much more. In the section of the book, “ Trumps 59 Russia connections“ here’s what it says briefly (and this was ~2017, so there is more recent info out there): “ 18. Dmitry Firtash Ukrainian oligarch who is alleged to have partnered with and is considered a front man for Semion Mogilevich* in ‘opaque intermediary companies That that siphoned off billions of dollars from the Ukraine energy trade. Supporter of the pro-Putin Party of Regions, which backs such policies. Also partnered with Paul Manafort on an abortive deal involving New York’s Drake Hotel. “ Semion Mogilevich — super big shot, RUSSIAN mafia with thick criminal resume. Obviously, well connected to other prominent corrupt figures in USA, Ukraine, RUSSIAN and of course, Putin. “Trump partner Felix Sater was said to be Mog...
“Trumpery", the actual word, hails from the 1400s, via French to English, and - yes - it means "to deceive". The alternate meanings of showy but worthless, gaudy, delusive and shallow are all such excellent adjectives to describe Donald Trump. They all fit him to a "T".
bob_cville > Trump gathers the intelligence and makes a decision. Himself. Like all alpha males do. What's your problem? > Except he didn't gather anything. He spoke to Turkey's dictator and announced his decision. Clearly didn't read the OP, did you? Oh, I know, if Fox didn't say it, it's fake news. > Nice try, but another failed attempt to support a raving lunatic. Actually it seems that Turkey's dictator told Trump what he was going to do and Trump folded like a cheap suit. > A National Security Council member told Newsweek that Trump got "rolled" on Sunday afternoon's call; was "out-negotiated" by his counterpart; and "only endorsed the troop withdraw to make it look like we are getting something—but we are not getting something," the source told Newsweek. "The U.S. national security has entered a state of increased danger for decades to come because the president has no spine and that's the bottom line."
dockside_gw Everything the left has accused Trump of would be dismissed in a court of law as hearsay. They have nothing. They are either too stupid to understand our legal system, . . . I am an attorney and want to inform you and anyone else that thinks hearsay testimony is not admissible in a "court of law" does not know what they are talking about. There are exceptions to the hearsay rule. The exception that applies here is that a "statement against interest" is admissible. Trump's statements are certainly against his interests. Additionally, even if there were no exceptions, Congress is not held to the Rules of Civil or Criminal Procedure since it is not a "court of law." This is one of the first things a law student learns in an Evidence class. Now, who is too stupid to understand our legal system? Just because you hear it on some frw media or read it on Info Wars does not mean it's accurate
Annie Deighnaugh The ICE raid in MS was so awful for so many reasons, but perhaps the most concerning of all is this: The operation was so closely guarded that ICE officials did not even inform the White House before it began, according to Matthew Albence, the agency’s acting director, and other administration officials. Because previous plans for high-profile ICE raids had been disrupted by public disclosure — including tweets from President Trump telegraphing them — the agency this time stealthily streamed 600 agents to Mississippi, many flown from other parts of the country. Source WaPo [bolding mine] How on earth can national intelligence be protected when even a pip-squeak agency like ICE knows not to trust the president with secrets!! And this is the guy who has unaccompanied and unrecorded meetings with putin on a we-don't-know-how-often basis???!!!??? SOS! Oh wait...but hillary's private server...ok, I feel so much better now...

Thank you, maifleur, for this tutorial about the reality of senior living. I know that having a financial advisor and a good consulting firm helped me negotiate my husband's death and my own retirement in arranging my finances. I also know that I'm one of the lucky ones and that others do not have my advantages. One thing in my favor is that PA does not charge state tax on pension withdrawals. That's a nice chunk of money to get back at tax time.
Mimou-GW Someone on the telly just quoted this from Erma Bombeck You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. Erma was a humorist, she died in 1996.
Annie Deighnaugh And here you have it folks. Arnovitz's defenses #2 & #4. #2: minimization...everybody does it...nothing to see here... #4: false equivalence...schiff getting pranked by a comedian vs. trump&co 140 contacts with russian intelligence agents.
Annie Deighnaugh mrskjun, from fec.gov: So yes, it is illegal to accept any contribution or donation of anything of value from a foreign national, like the russians, esp russian operatives and intelligence agents -- which I would think should be obvious to all Americans -- and if it isn't it certainly would be after trump became the rnc candidate and was *warned by the FBI to expect russian contacts of which they were to report any and all to the FBI which they never did*. I would also think it'd be obvious that making use of stolen materials is also a no-no. It is not illegal to pay for opposition research. Note too that the DNC paid Fusion GPS and at no time did they directly pay, hire, or direct the activities of steele who was a subcontractor of Fusion GPS.
6-13-19 numbersjunkie Reading the above comments from the Trumpsters and wondering how they can possibly consider themselves patriotic Americans??? Here is a good twitter thread from David Frum (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1139169758236950528.html): As the president plunges into a sea of what-aboutism, pulling Fox News talking heads after him, let's recall what it is actually about ... (1) ... a crime was committed, a very serious crime: a computer hack. It's no less a burglary for stealing digital rather than physical property. Same crime as Watergate. (2) All the way back in the summer of 2016, everybody knew who committed this crime: Russian military intelligence. Claims that maybe it was an "inside job" etc. were floated in bad faith by untruthful people - but everybody knew, the Trump campaign very much included. (3) When Donald Trump Jr. accepted his famous Trump Tower meeting, he was hoping to receive the proceeds of a crime. He was disappointed in that hope, but that's what he hoped. (4) And when the proceeds of the crime did begin to be posted on the WikiLeaks site later in the summer of 2016 and -devastatingly - less than 1 hour after the reporting of the "Ac...

Annie Deighnaugh Barr is "in Trump's pocket" so Mueller closed up shop? Yes because Mueller *reports to* barr. That's why trump wanted sessions gone...because sessions wouldn't 'unrecuse' himself and wouldn't fire mueller. And knowing it would be met with disdain from many, he purposely waited until the day after election day 2018 to ax sessions. Where have you been? I thought at least that part of the story was well publicized. And then of course, barr waits a whole 'decent' month before executing on trump's plan to shut mueller down...then takes another month leaving his incorrect and biased summary out there to shape the narrative, which clearly trumplicans accepted, repeated and now believe wholeheartedly...no collusion! no collusion! What's more concerning to me is all the evidence that hasn't been included in the mueller report and isn't being turned over to congress now resides in the hands of barr who, given his bent to be trump's personal defense lawyer, could easily make all of that evidence disappear. I hope mueller & co are leaving with lots of little secreted flash drives ——- (((Agree.)))
Annie Deighnaugh manafort wasn't driving the wagon either. (And you better believe that if some guy offered to run my campaign for free, I'd sure dig into it to find out why!) trump was and is with the primary advice coming from the likes of miller and bannon....bannon is very bright and capable as well as evil. And if you think trump isn't still talking to bannon, think again. trump knows enough, like any mafia don, to keep himself one off from the actual action so he can maintain deniability. Why do you think he *never* fired anyone himself...but enlisted others to do the threatening and firing? He never took any direct action himself, but always used a go-between. But just because he didn't do the 'wet work' doesn't mean he's not guilty. (The real kicker was when he was trying to enlist lewandowski to fire sessions and here he didn't even have a job in the government! It's in the Mueller report...read it!) —- ((( True! T knows how to be dirty. Lots of experience in NY & elsewhere — ))) pet
Annie Deighnaugh Trump's NSA during the campaign and after was an actual secretly paid foreign agent and lied about it Well that's a lie. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/10/us/politics/michael-flynn-turkey.html Huh? From your own article: WASHINGTON — The candidate he was advising last fall was running on a platform of America First. The client he was working for last fall was paying him more than $500,000 to put Turkey first. Michael T. Flynn, who went from the campaign trail to the White House as President Trump’s first national security adviser, filed papers this week acknowledging that he worked as a foreign agent last year representing the interests of the Turkish government in a dispute with the United States. [Bolding mine.] And this ridiculousness about the servers. You can cling to that one all you want but it can only be done in denial of the facts in evidence as laid out in detail in the Mueller report, which you'd see if you read it...knowing that the report is just a summary and the specifics behind it I'm sure are available in painful detail. Moreover, trump was in charge of his campaign with a very small staff. As the candidate, it is *his* responsibility t...
heri _ cles Thanks Ziema. I read the FBI's original Petition to Conduct Surveillance on Page that you posted: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/95-carter-page-fisa-documents-foia-release/full/optimized.pdf After reading about 50 redacted pages I was shaking my head, wondering how anyone could believe that the FBI did not have a strong case for probable cause to conduct surveillance on Page. Page was already a suspected Russian asset when he lobbied to become part of trump's campaign as a foreign policy adviser. Page had lived in Russia for several years and traveled there before and during the campaign. When reporters ask DT or his advisers what Page did for the Campaign they got all defensive and basically said that he did nothing. But why then was he hired? And why did he quit as soon as the FBI suspected that he might have been a Russian asset? After all, that is how a spy acts when his cover is blown. You really have to read at least 30 of 40 pages of the redacted Petition at the link above before opining any further on the Page FISA warrant and whether or not the FBI demonstrated probable cause. And of course, we cannot even see what has been redacted. That additiona...
Annie Deighnaugh I think the first tip-offs to the trump investigation had to do with...whether they want to admit it or not...the US monitors russian conversations and for some unexplained reason, people associated with trump kept showing up in the conversations...so they investigated further. They weren't spying on trump...they were spying on people trump's people kept having contact with. ((That’s exactly right. Routine “intercepts” tipped off the FBI that something highly unusual was going on (afoot) with highly placed, connected Russians and MANY people connected with the trump campaign. Very out of the ordinary. Their ears pricked up. pet))
Annie Deighnaugh She presented a list of reasons, and you say they are in the Mueller report. Did he resolve those issues? Bring charges? Last I heard he was closing up shop. Surely he has heard all of you shouting it's a big deal. Walking away seems inconsistent with leaving those issues unresolved. Make sense to you? Yes it makes perfect sense abh because barr is in trump's pocket and is acting as trump's defense lawyer, not the chief attorney for the people of the United States. He has shut down mueller's investigation prematurely and has misled the public so much about what Mueller said that Mueller felt it necessary to put in writing how much it misstated the report. Mueller has done as much as he can to preserve the evidence and testimony against trump for after he is no longer a sitting president, and he laid out a roadmap for congress to follow up -- including a thorough legal argument why it's in congress' purview to do so -- with impeachment for all trump's illegal activities. Why? Because as he has stated several times, *he* can't bring an indictment against a sitting president and rather than charge crimes for which the sitting president can't be indicted and tried wh...
5-29-19 Ziemia(6a) In a May 15 email to U.S. Navy and Air Force officials, a U.S. Indo-Pacific Command official outlined plans for the president’s arrival that he said had resulted from conversations between the White House Military Office and the Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy. In addition to instructions for the proper landing areas for helicopters and preparation for the USS Wasp—where the president was scheduled to speak—the official issued a third directive: “USS John McCain needs to be out of sight.” “Please confirm #3 will be satisfied,” the official wrote. ... Acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan was aware of the concern about the presence of the USS John McCain in Japan and approved measures to ensure it didn’t interfere with the president’s visit, a U.S. official said. ... Mr. Trump arrived in Japan on Saturday and on Tuesday—though still Monday in the U.S.—delivered Memorial Day remarks to troops aboard the USS Wasp, which is stationed along with the USS John McCain at Yokosuka Naval Base, south of Tokyo. Speaking to around 800 military men and women—some of whom wore “Make Aircrew Great Again” patches with a likeness of the president on their jumpsuits—Mr. Trump s...
maddie260 At least tell the whole truth about this ignorant tweet. According to the Alliance for American Manufacturing, the tariffs created or saved 12,700 jobs at a cost of $900,000/job. The number of jobs is still less than it was four years ago, and investors give the industry a thumbs down. This information is available to anyone who cares to google.
Annie Deighnaugh There is a huge difference between the president using the power of his office and the control of the entire federal law enforcement apparatus for his personal and political aims to create dirt on any and all political opponents vs. investigating a president: with over 140 contacts with russians during the campaign, which he and his people all lied about, even to congress, while russia was actively attacking our election to swing it in his favor who tried to stop the investigation into russia's interference in our election at least 10 times and who continues to obstruct justice who actively tried to set up back-channel communications with russia who was doing business in russia while denying it, setting him up for russian kompromat whose NSA, personal lawyer, campaign chair and campaign chair's lawyer, among others, have all been convicted of felonies whose words, behavior and policy choices continue to favor putin and russia even over our own intelligence people who has been found guilty of fraud who violated campaign finance laws whose foundation had to be shut down for what was described as a "shocking pattern of illegal activities" who is in violation of the...
Can someone tell me what Trump's impeachable conduct was? No American worked with Russians to mess with the 2016 election and collusion isn't a crime. cait, the President took an oath to uphold the laws and the Constitution. He broke those laws. Furthermore, something does not need to rise the the level of a "crime" to be impeachable. Our president should be held to a higher standard. He is a co-conspirator in the Campaign finance scheme that Cohen is going to jail for on Monday. Mueller's report found significant evidence of Obstruction of Justice - almost all "legal minds agree the evidence would be indictable if he was not President (including the legal analyst on Fox news). He is currently defying Congressional oversight and instructing others to do the same - more obstruction. Obstruction of Justice does not require there to be an underlying crime. He is acting in his own best interest as far as Russian interference is concerned. He has yet to publicly acknowledge it even exists, and refuses to confront Putin about it. At best, the reason for this is that he's afraid it will make him appear illegitimate. At worst, we can only imagine. I'm sure others can offer up many oth...
jay06 I'm surprised that not many news sites (as well as no committee members) caught Barr's slip when Sen. Durbin questioned him about McGahn possibly appearing before Congress. Durbin asserted that the White House had already waived executive privilege in regard to McGahn because he was allowed to talk to Mueller. Barr replied, "No, we haven't waived his privilege." WE? Waiving privilege would be a Trump decision, not the Justice Department's, so it's obvious with whom Barr has aligned himself in what is supposed to be an independent position.
Annie Deighnaugh putin proof? How about trump siding with putin over our own intelligence agencies on an international stage? How about his talk against montenegro which was part of a russian propaganda effort at the time...or the same thing with poland invading belarus...where did that come from? russia. How about it was putin who suggested the US stop joint military exercises with S. Korea and trump obliged? How about trump delaying and then lifting sanctions on russia? Moreover, he's been obstructing the very investigation into how russia interfered in our election! How about trump doing *nothing* to stop or prevent russian interference in the US elections? How about trump turning over the entire security apparatus of the US embassy in moscow to an ex kgb bud of putin's? How about how trump and the wh have allowed *all meetings with russia* to be first announced by russia so they get the initial messaging and only then the US follow on.
chase_gw You mean other than confronting Putin, advising Trump,instructing the FBI and CIA to pursue aggressively and finally , and most importantly, advising the Gang of Eight that he wanted to go public, something McConnell opposed? Could he have done more, sure , but Trump has done nothing because he loves what the Russian interference did in helping him win.
Hydrogen blistering in Teflon left soaking If you leave a scratched aluminum Teflon coated pan in soapy water, the Teflon will flake off bit by bit. Soap reacts with aluminum to form atomic hydrogen. Atomic hydrogen is a very small atom that actually moves into the aluminum pan's metallic structure where it eventually meets up with another atom of atomic hydrogen. The resultant molecule that forms when the two atoms meet is what we know as molecular hydrogen (or H2 gas). The hydrogen gas thus formed by the combination of the two atoms greatly increases the size of the molecule such that it can no longer move into the metallic structure. It is the accumulation of this hydrogen gas between the Teflon layer and the aluminum layer that actually lifts the Teflon off of the aluminum pan. This phenomenon is known as "hydrogen blistering". This is a corrosion mechanism that large petroleum refineries must deal with in certain operating equipment. Bottom line........If you want your Teflon lined aluminum pans to last longer, do not let them soak is soapy water. The teflon coating will flake off if you do. Iwonder why the pan manufactures don't tell us consumers about this???? Dan
mtnrdredux_gw I am not an expert at this level of detail, but to me, what Cohen described in re "understating" the value of CRE was not fraudulent. In fact, I would call it commonplace. IME, property tax liabilities on CRE work much like they do for homeowners, though they have the added complexity of many different rates based on property type, etc, abatements, exemptions, and phase-ins. And no annual caps on increases, IIRC. A govt tax assessor will establish the market value of the CRE, almost always under the income approach, in order to come up with a taxable base, to which one applies the applicable tax rate. Just like a homeowner, you can contest that assessment. When you do, of course, you are going to try to make arguments that suggest a lower value for your building. Why else bother to contest it? And frankly, assigning a market value to anything is more art than science, and assessors can surely be wrong. If I understood Cohen, he said T would argue with the assessor and use inappropriately low comps to make his case that a building is worth less. Then, when he had to present financial statements, he would use assumptions that made the building worth more. That strik...

❗️catticusmockingbird Ann, you might do a little research before proclaiming that a good thing. You would have much to lose. "Unknown to most Americans, a parallel legal regime allows the president to sidestep many of the constraints that normally apply. The moment the president declares a “national emergency”—a decision that is entirely within his discretion—more than 100 special provisions become available to him. While many of these tee up reasonable responses to genuine emergencies, some appear dangerously suited to a leader bent on amassing or retaining power. For instance, the president can, with the flick of his pen, activate laws allowing him to shut down many kinds of electronic communications inside the United States or freeze Americans’ bank accounts. Other powers are available even without a declaration of emergency, including laws that allow the president to deploy troops inside the country to subdue domestic unrest. This edifice of extraordinary powers has historically rested on the assumption that the president will act in the country’s best interest when using them. With a handful of noteworthy exceptions, this assumption has held up. But what if a president, bac...
chase_gw Actually that was one of his most " remarkable " pressers and not in a good way. I know his supporters will be doing the High Five but they owe it to themselves , their children and the county to do some independent research and apply some clear thinking to what he says. He would consider declaring a state of emergency and building the " wall" by Executive order absent Congressional approval and against the will of the majority . Think about that....really think about that. He is willing to keep the government closed, including departments that have zero to do with this argument, for months. He believes that most of the employees caught in this mess are OK with going without pay because they believe in the cause. That China is paying the US billions in tarriffs ..........that was a real doozie The revised NAFTA deal is a dramatic change from the original deal That the , yet to be approved , revised NAFTA deal will mean that Mexico pays for the wall because no end of companies will open up plants in the US and those American companies and American employees will pay State and Federal taxes . .......yup he said that.

jillinnj All those that complain the MSM is fake news follow the same pattern. They come to a conclusion (for example, Trump is not guilty) with no evidence. They just really want it to be true. They seek information to support their conclusion, as nonsensical as it is. And they claim anything that doesn't support their conclusion is not true. I really don't understand how they got through school. ____

Becca Reese Since there seems to be little hope of finding Trump-Russia collusion, Dems are now focusing on imeaching Trump over essentially what the Justice Department dropped charges against Jon Edwards. I guess any port in a storm, but it will be the height of hypocrisy if the same body which kept secret a slush fund for sexual harassment victim hush money decides to go after Trump for doing the same. {time will tell. If the lies, coverup, and criminality would let up, Mueller could finish. }
bob_cville Putting people down for not understanding the "electoral system" by demonstrating that you apparently don't understand basic logic. If this is true: The majority of those Americans who voted did not vote for Trump, yet he won. Then this is guaranteed to be true: The majority of Americans did not vote for him, yet he won. I could post a formal proof, but I don't think someone who seemingly doesn't understand the basic precepts of logic, would be likely to know the standard symbology of logic. 3 Likes Save 56 minutes ago 12-3-18
Annie Deighnaugh I'm short of time this a.m., but let me try to summarize.

maifleur01 To address floral's comment and perhaps save someone on here problems. You need to check with an attorney to see if this is still applicable in your state. In the US if you are not a spouse unless you sign for care using your own name you are not legally obligated to pay any of another's medical bills. Power of Attorney's will take care of this for non-spousal bills and in some states simply signing the person's name followed by the word "by" then your name. If the person dies and there is an estate those bills should be part of the estate. If there is not enough assets in the estate although pressure will be placed on you to pay the debt in most states you do not have to. If you are a spouse it is assumed the debts are yours.
Annie Deighnaugh Excellent, yet even that thorough summary misses so much else that he's done. He let thousands of people die post hurricane because they were "Puerto Rican" on an island surrounded by water He is already doing damage to the environment by rolling back necessary regulation and gutting the agency in charge including demoting and eliminating scientists who talk about climate change He has taken the US out of the climate change agreement He has defended the Saudis after murdering a US resident journalist by believing them over our own intelligence people He has gutted health care for Americans, making it more expensive and is now in court and has signed executive orders trying to eliminate the protection for pre-existing conditions He has passed a tax cut which the economy doesn't need, benefiting those who don't need it at the expense of those who do.

Lynn He wasn't a democrat when he was calling Obama a Muslim born in Kenya. Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party.
10-24-18 carolb_w_fl_coastal_9b(zone 9/10) I hope people realize that this is happening all around the world. There are mass migrations taking place because of horrendous living conditions, war, brutal regimes, etc., and the countries these people are entering are having the same kind of debates over what to do. The New Colossus By Emma Lazarus, 1883 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" ************************************************************ Animosity vs. hospitality? 1 Like Save 7 minutes ago ----- ------- ------ Good post!
Stan Areted I don't know anyone that wants anyone "lower" than themselves--and I assume you mean income--to have less than they have. The problem is others should not be handed something that others work for. Most everyone I know is well aware that they could lose everything they have--healthy, family, and money--in the blink of an eye. Why wouldn't they want to preserve it? Because some people have more doesn't mean there's less for others--anyone with an able mind and body can make their own decisions and their own success in life. I only wish that people were more motivated to realize their potential--and they never will with liberals screaming "victim" at every political identity group they can. I only wish that others weren't dependent and feeling they were deserving of someone else's hard work rewards. 11-15-18 ------------ Comment--

d_gw He said it twice. Transcript President Trump at rally: "And then we fell in love, okay. No really. He wrote me beautiful letters. And they're great letters. We fell in love." Lesley Stahl: I wanna read you his resume, okay? He presides over a cruel kingdom of repression, gulags, starvation-- reports that he had his half-brother assassinated, slave labor, public executions. This is a guy you love? President Donald Trump: Sure. I know all these things. I mean-- I'm not a baby. I know these things. --------------------------- President Donald Trump: Not so much a wire. I'm usually guarded. And I think I'm guarded anyway. But I'm not saying I trust everybody in the White House. I'm not a baby. It's a tough business. This is a r-- this is a vicious place.

chase_gw Mis , I guess your media sources didn't publish the Boston Globe extensive investigative report a month or so back that proved through interviews and extensive documents that she never used her heritage to get into university or for any of her appointments and jobs. Guess this means Trump owes her $1M dollars...do you think he'll pay?

11-11-18 momj47(7A) They were actually making fun of him. Classless acts of course. So when your Mr. Trump makes fun of someone, do you think he's classy? Trump makes fun of Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford Trump mocks reporter with disability Trump made fun of Rep. Mark Sanford again Trump makes fun of #metoo rape victims and calls Elizabeth Warren a racist slurand the good people of Montana laugh. Have fun in hell folks. I don't think Jesus will forgive you, because even he has limits of decency. People love it when Donald Trump makes fun of journalists Trump jokes about Pence's conservative views President Trump Makes Fun of Past President, Two Senators Donald Trump insults Carly Fiorina's appearance
bry911 To say she's not a "paid protester" is an attempt to mislead Americans about her close relationship with the Soros agenda. This entire idea is a very obvious logical fallacy that Democrats constantly let themselves get dragged into. Just because she is paid by Soros, doesn't mean she is wrong. The supposition that anyone who is paid by Soros is subjugated to his views seems a bit of a stretch to me. It is very likely that she is passionate about her positions and found a job with an organization that promotes those positions. It is also very unlikely that she isn't at all passionate about those positions and is simply acting that way for the money. Personally, I am very passionate about what I teach and the environment I teach it in. I would probably do it for free just to be associated with this college in order to make a difference in the lives of these kids who are our future leaders. If the fact that I don't have to do it for free, and that they actually pay me for it, is a problem for you, well that is your problem, and a rather ridiculous one at that. Even allowing the far fetched idea that she was subjugating her views to his, it doesn't render the point wrong. Sup...
Ziemia(6a) Yes, Soros is messaging as well. And it does signal the base. Just read this (from Trevor Noah) and he nails another part of it. “Trump’s most powerful tool is that he knows how to wield victimhood. He knows how to offer victimhood to the people who have the least claim to it.” #BetweenTheScenes https://t.co/1sRr0EGxc4

Cait 10-7-18 cait1 (Quoting maifleur) He could have simply stated that he did not remember it but apologized for himself and all men who do those things. ---- I don't understand comments like this. Maifleur, perhaps you should apologize for all the things you don't remember and for all the ❓nasty things leftys/feminists have done over the years. ❓Can you now see how ridiculous your opening sentence is or are you still blind to that? re OP (and I read most of it): ❓Too much assuming for me. How can kids who were so drunk they were ping ponging and laughing and loud going down the stairs ❓be stealthy like cats going up the stairs? ❓They would have been more drunk prior to the incident so would have been louder. In our judicial system there must always be the presumption of innocence, not the assumption of guilt. I find this playing with what is anathema to our judicial system a very dangerous game. ---- ❓❓❗️
Ubro: Yes patriciae- because when they do report it is never the right time, method or place, and so therefore they must be lying. Heaven forbid should they have kept their sorrow to themselves for years, then for sure they will be branded as not credible. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Not even the senate will ask for a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of this matter. And if they will not, when doing a job interview, then god help the rest of the injured women out there. Trump's message is clear to women, SHUT THE EF UP.
