We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
RE the Trump tweet. Please. Life is not one big giant legal opinion. Only Yankees think that way. We are entitled to take account of conversational implication. See below. And RedState is a giant cuckservative festival of principled losers. If you want to know how conservatives lost every battle with the Left for the last 75 years, look no farther than the cuck parade at RedState.
Mike Pence said, "When (Rosenstein) brought the recommendation to the president that the director of the FBI should be removed, President Trump provided the strong and decisive leadership the American people have come to be accustomed from him."
Rosenstein wrote, "The way the Director handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong. As a result, the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has a Director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. Having refused to admit his errors, the Director cannot be expected to implement the necessary corrective actions."
Trump's not lying in that tweet. The lie was the one Trump told after firing Comey, that it was all him and his very good brain that came up with the idea and made the decision to fire Comey. Trump is an egotistical fat-headed blowhard who is incapable of admitting that he doesn't know everything and that some times he might benefit from some advice - he had no idea whether he could or should fire Comey so he sought Rosenstein's opinion but seeking somebody else's opinion makes you look indecisive and unknowledgeable as far as Trump's concerned and he wasn't having any of that. So despite the fact that opening his fat mouth was prelude to jamming his foot in it - the foot in which he'd just shot himself - Trump just had to jump in there and hog all the credit for the action on Comey. And only now is he realizing that - oops - maybe that particular lie wasn't in his best interest. Not that he'll bat an eye at directly contradicting himself on successive days or even in successive sentences, he just says whatever pops into his head at the moment and none of it means anything as far as trying to figure out what he means or what he believes or what he might be planning on doing.
" Why Are So Many Young Voters Falling for Old Socialists?" Because our educational system has failed and history has been altered (we demand you remove everything connected to the Confederacy) and those that love all the isms tell lovely lies to the young and gullible. I have saved a video of women "shopping" in the old Soviet Union that is horrifying. There is little and I mean little food to choose from and if there is something to select the shopper has to smell the product to see if it is still edible. I wonder if any of the Bernie Sanders crowd has viewed any of the delightful lives of those living under such conditions. Send them all to Venezuela including Bernie to get the real experience.
Exactly. Understand the "elegance" of a economic system where everything a consumer could possibly want is provided because of the simple fact that "it is in the providers best interest to get those things that consumers want to the consumer". Walmart doesn't provide a huge variety of inexpensive food and clothing because of government mandate or some cabinet level bureaucrat telling them what to do. They do it for profit and they do it extremely well because that maximizes profit. If it were up to the government to do this it would cost 10 times as much and be fraught with shortages and failures.
The problem comes into this almost perfect and genuinely "elegant" system when ideologues propagandize the "sins" of profit. My god people are getting rich providing consumers with a huge variety of goods and services that
they want! We can't have that. Rich people getting richer. Wouldn't it be better if the government did this for "free"??? And of course the lure of free stuff sucks in the low information voter and ne'er-do-well.
I'm not sure the new leftist owners of FOX are going to allow that kind of talk on their network. It's too American. I love this guy!
I hope Trump is listening. Even more, now that shots have been fired at this Corrupt Congress, I pray they get their collective heads out of their rectums before middle-America decides it's a good idea. They best check themselves before they wreck themselves!
Report: $12.7 Trillion Needed To Meet Paris Climate Accord’s Goal…
"The group predicts $2.8 trillion to be invested in non-renewable energy capacity, like natural gas."
In other words, at least some of the investment is normal business investment. The energy and transportation infrastructure gets replaced every 50 years or so. Updating during the process is reasonable and prudent.
Ann Coulter is right to criticize Trump. Trump is being distracted by the distractions the alt-left is throwing up. Ann wants him to ignore the distractions and do what he promised. She knows how Washington works and right now is the sweet spot for getting legislation and policies passed. Do it Trump!
However Ann's criticism is NOT the criticism the author wants or claims that it is. There are never Trumpers who criticize blindly and simply want him politically dead. gone, never to return even if it requires that they cut off their own nose. This is NOT Ann's criticism, she just want to encourage Trump to ignore the crazies out there.
I feel the same. Appoint good judges. Deport illegals. Get rid of the majority of the regulations imposed in the last 8 to 30 years that are preventing us from having a successful economy. Fire the alt-left activists in government especially in the intelligence community. Prosecute Hillary and investigate Lynch. Return full constitutional rights. Strengthen our military. Balance the budget. Cut taxes. Protect the country from radical Islam.
