		<description>obama is no longer president so it&#039;s not really relevant to him, but i think it&#039;s a great idea to add school transcripts to the things it&#039;s expected for a president to show. donald should do so right away. he&#039;s willing to do that, right? umm... right? no?

		<description>[163] Patrick:

If you have TameperMonkey for Chrome installed, I have a script that allows you to collapse Michale&#039;s, umm, excessively exuberant posts into one liners. You can still expand and see his posts if you wish; it just removes the visual clutter when Michale is on a roll such as today, when his comments are 35% of the total. 

You can see an example of how that works at:

http://chasbrown.com/cwWeedBlocker/cwExample.html

from a day when he was even more loquacious than usual, at 62% of all comments.

TamperMonkey is a ChromeExtension; you might want to google it first to see if it&#039;s something up your alley.</description>

Holy moley, I must have struck  a nerve.  Do your worst Don.  You have a talent for it, and it&#039;s easier than doing your homework.  It&#039;s troll  season again at CW.com, but it will pass and I have blocking software.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The problem is, I don&#039;t care how bad it offends Kick&#039;s and paula&#039;s sense of justice, it just simply is not nor never could be, illegal. After all, it contravenes the 1st amend, for gawdsake!&lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;ve left a lot out. After all, it wasn&#039;t one event, where everyone said, &quot;let&#039;s collude now&quot; - it doesn&#039;t work that way. There were multiple instances of Trump guys in contact with Russians that were only divulged under penalty of jail. That&#039;s what we know about.

&lt;i&gt;He hides his tax returns because they would reveal him for the phony blowhard he is, I&#039;m betting. But that should be his right!&lt;/i&gt;

Actually, though, it&#039;s not. Very clear federal law grants the Congress the right to see it.</description>

Yeah, some rich folks &quot;squander&quot; a some of their money, but that represents your (and my) personal value judgement.

		<description>Actually, there WAS &quot;Russia Collusion&quot;, if you choose to consider an (unfulfilled) offer of derogaory info (aka &quot;dirt&quot;) on Hillary to Junior from the Russian lawyer, and if you include Trump&#039;s public plea/exhortation to them to hack the (highly embarrassing) Dem e-mails.

The problem is, I don&#039;t care how bad it offends Kick&#039;s and paula&#039;s sense of justice, it just simply is not nor never could be, illegal.  After all, it contravenes the 1st amend, for gawdsake!</description>

ANd yet, Mueller is assisting Barr in the redactions to make the report legally able to be released...

&lt;I&gt;They are being suppressed - what is Barr hiding from everybody?&lt;/I&gt;

You asked the same question of Trump vis a vis Russia collusion..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;WHAT IS TRUMP HIDING??&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Turns out he was hiding nothing.. The fact is there WAS no Russia Collusion..

This is simply more of the same Trump/America hatred..

Nothing more..</description>

We&#039;ve been told by him and his numbnuts that it completely clears him.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Not true, rich people&#039;s savings get invested, meaning the $ get spent, just not on the necessities of life (food, shelter, etc.), but rather on factories, equipment, infrastructure, etc.&lt;/i&gt;

And fine art, at inflated prices, because there is more money chasing Picassos than potatoes.

How, exactly, do two multimillionaires bidding up the price of an apartment in a city add to the economy? They are taking wealth from productive, fast moving parts of the economy and socking it away in stationary, non-productive parts of the economy (no matter how much you pay for a Van Gogh, he ain&#039;t producing any new ones).

Asset price inflation of low volume goods (luxury yachts, city center apartments, fine art, etc.) drains wealth from the economy. Only the rich can afford to waste money outbidding each other for these goods - and they swap the money between themselves (almost by definition, if you own a Van Gogh, you are wealthy).

Putting money into the hands of people who use it to purchase manufactured goods increases production.</description>

		<description>People who tout UBI as &quot;economic stimulus&quot; (meaning something that would add to GDP, making us all better off) simply aren&#039;t living in the real world.

Their rationale boils down to the erroneous concept that the money rich people earn gets socked away in their mattresses, because there is only so much one person can consume.

Not true, rich people&#039;s savings get invested, meaning the $ get spent, just not on the necessities of life (food, shelter, etc.), but rather on factories, equipment, infrastructure, etc.

Taxing their savings away and transferring it to the unemployed would not increase GDP at all, only change the mix of what it gets spent on.</description>

Re: Technology displacing workers.

Every single technological advancement since the industrial revolution has &quot;displaced workers&quot;, thereby creating unemployment.

Henry Ford put gazillions of people out of work,  teamsters, harness makers, tannery workers. farriere, wheel wrights, wagon wrights, hay growers, etc etc.  Do we need to go back to horse &amp; buggy days?

Technological progress has always CREATED jobs far in excess of jobs obsoleted.  Why will it suddenly be different this time?

You have no idea what the results and effects of UBI would turn out to be.  These things are highly vulnerable to the law of unintended consequences.

What the world needs is Universal Basic Production, where every able-bodied person contributes.  That would CREATE universal basic income, right?</description>

		<description>What are looking for?  Height?  Weight? Girth? Shoe size?....something below the belt maybe? 

It&#039;s politico slang for a donation that doesn&#039;t have to be itemized in a political campaign&#039;s Federal Report.  $200 or less.  

&quot;We&quot; might decide to &quot;catch up&quot; with &quot;you&quot; if &quot;you&quot;  would stop repeating your patter and provide an organizational plan detailing how &quot;One Demand&quot; is going to work - from start up to mature organization.  Who will run it...how it will be funded...why a politician should fear it...how a politician and his or her payed consultants might game it? Mostly I want to know &quot;Why YOU?!&quot; A detailed resume. You have been stuck in place for a long time.  Maybe a better hobby or career path is worth considering.  Otherwise, man up and take yer lumps. Nobody is forcing you to post.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;A Universal Basic Income at this level would permanently grow the economy by 12.56 to 13.10 percent—or about $2.5 trillion by 2025—and it would increase the labor force by 4.5 to 4.7 million people.&lt;/I&gt;

In other words, the Democrat Party is the Party of Free Stuff, including money..

Which basically means, Democrats are trying to buy people&#039;s votes...

Like I said, you Democrats have moved so far Left you can&#039;t even SEE the Center anymore..

By all means..  Continue your Leftward jaunt...  Tell everyone how you want to make America into Venezuela... 

Trump landslide will be the result...</description>

And, because you can&#039;t address the question, you have to move the goal posts..

		<description>[117] Michale 

&quot;And yet Democrats have not forwarded ANY legislation.. All they are interesting in is bringing down Trump.&quot;

AGAIN, NOT TRUE.

Just a partial list of legislation that House Democrats have passed so far:

Violence Against Women Act

Voting Rights Expansion and H.R. 1

Gun Control Background Check Bill

And that&#039;s just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Ready to take back or correct what you said and eat some much deserved crow now Michale?</description>

&quot;Provide economic security to those UNWILLING to work..&quot;

What about those unable to work and technology change? What happens when millions of jobs are eliminated like truck driving when self driving cars and artificial intelligence becomes a reality by 2030 in less than 15 years?

Technology is quickly displacing a large number of workers, and the pace will only increase as automation and other forms of artificial intelligence become more advanced. One third of American workers will lose their jobs to automation by 2030 according to McKinsey.  This has the potential to destabilize our economy and society if unaddressed. 

A solution that has been proposed is the Universal Basic Income, ‘The Freedom Dividend,’ of $1,000/month, $12,000 a year for every American adult over the age of 18. This is independent of one’s work status or any other factor. This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.

A Universal Basic Income at this level would permanently grow the economy by 12.56 to 13.10 percent—or about $2.5 trillion by 2025—and it would increase the labor force by 4.5 to 4.7 million people. 

Universal Basic Income, or UBI, is a version of Social Security where all citizens receive a set amount of money per month independent of their work status or income. Everyone from a hedge fund billionaire in New York to an impoverished single mom in West Virginia would receive a monthly check of $1,000. If someone is working as a waitress or construction worker making $18,000, he or she would essentially be making $30,000. UBI eliminates the disincentive to work that most people find troubling about traditional welfare programs – if you work you could actually start saving and get ahead.</description>

&quot;That&#039;s the actual text of the REVISED version.. The initial version had all the things I pointed to but had to be changed when public outcry and ridicule forced the change..

So, once again.. You are wrong..&quot;

Bullshit. You are so FULL of it Michale. It is NOT the REVISED version. It is the ORIGINAL version as introduced into CONGRESS.

Show me the original version then as you CLAIM it. I double dare you! It should be easy enough for you to find and post IF IT WERE TRUE.</description>

First, a hearty Welcome Back!!!!

According to the NY Times (April 2, 2019) 88% of donations to the Sanders campaign in the previous six weeks were less than $200.

According to the Open Secrets website the percentage of individual donations less than $200 have been closer to 75% during the years 2013-2018.  Less than 2% of donations during this period came from PACs. 

That said, I stand behind the spirit of your sheesh....and add some exasperated drumming of fingers.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The last and not the best hope of sane Democratic contenders is that very tired old plough-horse Joe Biden. With all his malapropisms and foolish ideas, the amiable survivor whose first run for the White House failed 31 years ago because he was caught plagiarizing from one of Britain’s most unsuccessful opposition leaders, Neil Kinnock, is at least not a terrifying radical. And now, he is being sandbagged because he allegedly touched two or more women many years ago, perfectly legally, with no discreditable intent, out of affection with no claimed sexual aspect. It is to this unimaginable depth of idiocy that the American Left’s pursuit of victimhood to be lionized and avenged, and its lust to degrade the straight, adult, white male has descended.&lt;/B&gt;

Heh..... 

&lt;B&gt;&quot;It&#039;s funny cuz it&#039;s true.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Also a good take on the crop of Democrat nominees...

If things continue to move further Left, as it looks like they will do, President Trump is going to win a second term in a landslide hitherto undreamt of since Reagan and 1984..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The press too will have certain biases, and not only because they’re 30 and 40 years younger than you and would like to see their careers associated with the rise of someone their age. Their bias is also toward drama, as you well know—toward pathos, and the end of something. They love that almost as much as the beginning of something. They can’t wait to write their Lion in Winter stories. “The Long Goodbye.” “The Last Campaign.” “Biden faltered for just a moment when a white-haired woman put her hand to his face and said, ‘I remember you from ’88, Joe. We all do, and we love you.”

And that is apart from those young reporters who consider themselves culture cops, and who enjoy beating people like you with the nightstick of their wokeness.
&lt;/B&gt;

That&#039;s a nice turn of the phrase..

&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;consider themselves culture cops, and who enjoy beating people like you with the nightstick of their wokeness.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt;

That describes PERFECTLY today&#039;s Democrat Party...

Everything is a shiny new club, a PR-24 or an ASP, with which to beat their political opponents over the head with..

They don&#039;t care about the issue... It&#039;s the beat-down that is it&#039;s own reward...

		<description>&lt;B&gt;If Biden Runs, They’ll Tear Him Up
The old Democratic Party was warm, like him. The new one rising is colder, less human and divisive.

Don’t do it, Joe.

Don’t run for president. It won’t work, you won’t get the nomination, your loss will cause pain and not only for you.

And your defeat will be worse than sudden, it will be poignant.

Right now operatives for the other candidates are trying to scare you out of jumping in. We all know that what you intended as warmth is now received as a boundary violation. You addressed this in a video that was crisp and friendly: You never meant to cause discomfort, you intend to change your ways.

But it’s not going away. It will linger, and more will come.

Democratic operatives do not fear you will win the nomination—they think you’re too old, your time has passed, you’re not where the energy of the base is, or the money. But they do not want you taking up oxygen the next six to 10 months as you sink in the polls. And they don’t want you swooping in to claim the middle lane. Others already have a stake there, or mean to.

In the past you were never really slimed and reviled by your party; you were mostly teased and patronized. But if you get in the race this time, it will be different. They will show none of the old respect for you, your vice presidency or your past fealty to the cause. And you are in the habit of receiving respect. Soon the topic will turn, in depth, to Anita Hill, the Clinton crime bill, your friendliness to big business. You have opposed partial-birth abortion. Also, the old plagiarism video will come back and be dissected. It was more than 30 years ago, and for a lot of reporters and voters it will be a riveting story, and brand new.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.wsj.com/articles/if-biden-runs-theyll-tear-him-up-11554420280

Can&#039;t argue with Noonan&#039;s logic..

The old Democrat Party had a soul..

This new Democrat Party is a soul-less beast that demands Party Purity and enslaving social constructs..

Joe can&#039;t win with this Party and he&#039;ll be slaughtered if he tries..

Don&#039;t do it, Joe...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The article is about the views of a host on Univision... not a Democratic Party spokesperson, not an elected politician. So “Democrats for open borders” is more of your “posting filler” for your lack of having actual supporting arguments.&lt;/I&gt;

Ramos is a Democrat...  A lot of Democrats want open borders..  Several of the declared candidates have stated they are for open borders..

My &quot;filler&quot; was factually accurate and THAT is why it bothers you so much..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You want to end illegal immigrants from coming to the US, have Trump make it a felony to hire anyone without proper documentation... huge fines and mandatory prison time. But then Trump would have to pay Americans full wages to work at his properties...&lt;/I&gt;

And Democrats would have to pay full wages for their servants..

Which explains why DEMOCRATS didn&#039;t make it a felony to hire anyone without proper documentation..

		<description>&lt;I&gt;So sit back: things are just warming up...&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;I&gt;yyyyaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnn&lt;/I&gt;

You have been saying that for almost 4 years now!!!!

Ever since 15 Jun 2016 all of ya have been saying, &lt;B&gt;Ohhh!!  It&#039;s heating up now!!!&lt;/B&gt; or &lt;B&gt;Ohhhh!!  Trump is going down!!&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;B&gt;TRUMP IS TOAST!!!&lt;/B&gt;

And you have ****ALWAYS**** been wrong.. ALL of you have...

You have ***NEVER*** correctly predicted Donald Trump&#039;s demise...

NEVER.. NOT ONCE....

I STILL think it&#039;s cute that ya&#039;all believe you have ANY ingot of credibility in this matter..

Mueller, your Trump slaying hero, has completely, utterly and totally exonerated President Trump when it comes to Russia collusion..

THIS is FACT...

You were WRONG... AGAIN...

THIS is FACT...

Sure, you can throw up a whole bunch of shit against the wall and hope and pray something sticks..

Why not??  That was your strategy with Mueller and Russia Collusion..  And that worked SOOOOOOO well for ya&#039;all...   :D

But the ***ONLY*** way you are going to make Trump leave is by voting him out..

And, considering how ya&#039;all so viciously attack Americans who don&#039;t toe ya&#039;all&#039;s political line??

That will never happen..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt; The other side is trying to throw chaff into the air. Barr&#039;s under pressure.&lt;/I&gt;

Nothing but wishful thinking..

&lt;I&gt;Legislation is the game, and they keep losing, or winning by such narrow margins as to make it a slog. &lt;/I&gt;

And yet Democrats have not forwarded ANY legislation.. All they are interesting in is bringing down Trump..

&lt;I&gt; Why did McConnell change the rules? Because it was getting harder and harder to get one of Trump&#039;s ridiculous nominees through.&lt;/I&gt;

Of course, then you believe that Harry Reid changed the rules because it was getting harder and harder for Democrats to get Odumbo&#039;s ridiculous nominees thru, right??

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Oh. er...uh... well..  THAT&#039;S different!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Of course it is..  :^/

&lt;I&gt;Mueller&#039;s report may not cause Trump&#039;s impeachment, but it can sure go a long way to making him more toxic. &lt;/I&gt;

And THERE it is..  You don&#039;t care about country or anything else.. You just want to make Trump toxic.. And ANY dirty trick or illegal activity is justified in pursuit of making Trump toxic..

Glad you finally declared yourself..</description>

		<description>Illegals, Green New Deal - I&#039;ll tell you what&#039;s going on. The other side is trying to throw chaff into the air. Barr&#039;s under pressure.

The other side will tell you that it doesn&#039;t matter what Mueller found. They&#039;ll say, &quot;you&#039;ll never move us.&quot; And they&#039;re right. Only that&#039;s not the game, and they know it.

Legislation is the game, and they keep losing, or winning by such narrow margins as to make it a slog. Why did McConnell change the rules? Because it was getting harder and harder to get one of Trump&#039;s ridiculous nominees through.

Mueller&#039;s report may not cause Trump&#039;s impeachment, but it can sure go a long way to making him more toxic. We have elections coming up, after all.

So sit back: things are just warming up...</description>

&lt;I&gt; Jorge Ramos: Amnesty for Illegals, Migrants—‘Nothing We Can Do to Stop Them’
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/03/jorge-ramos-amnesty-for-illegals-migrants-nothing-we-can-do-to-stop-them/

Democrats for open borders... :^/

And I am sure you will accept Brietbart links as valid, just as you expect me to accept HuffPoop links as valid..

&lt;/I&gt;

The links are valid, your assessment is not.   Are you going to accept my summary if I post any random article and stick, “Trump legalizes incest in hopes of marrying his daughter” after it — as you seem to expect us to do?  

The article is about the views of a host on Univision... not a Democratic Party spokesperson, not an elected politician.   So “Democrats for open borders” is more of your “posting filler” for your lack of having actual supporting arguments.  

You want to end illegal immigrants from coming to the US, have Trump make it a felony to hire anyone without proper documentation... huge fines and mandatory prison time.   But then Trump would have to pay Americans full wages to work at his properties...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Since you are still WRONG, and I am RIGHT, I guess you will be waiting until Gre&#039;thor freezes over! :-D&lt;/I&gt;

Really??

A Democrat voted FOR the Ridiculous green deal???

Who??

&lt;I&gt;&quot;Nope.. That is a factual assessment of what the Democrats believe in...&quot;

NO, IT IS NOT.

Here is the ACTUAL TEXT:&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s the actual text of the REVISED version..  The initial version had all the things I pointed to but had to be changed when public outcry and ridicule forced the change..

So, once again.. You are wrong..</description>

&quot;Nope.. That is a factual assessment of what the Democrats believe in...&quot;

NO, IT IS NOT.

Here is the ACTUAL TEXT:

...the goals described in subparagraphs of paragraph (1) above (referred to in this
resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal goals’’) should be accomplished through a 10-year national mobilization (referred to in this resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal mobilization’’) that will require the following goals and projects—

building resiliency against climate change-related disasters, such as extreme weather, including by leveraging funding and providing investments for community-defined projects and strategies;
repairing and upgrading the infrastructure in the United States, including—

(i) by eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions as much as technologically feasible;

(ii) by guaranteeing universal access to clean water;

(iii) by reducing the risks posed by flooding and other climate impacts; and

(iv) by ensuring that any infrastructure bill considered by Congress addresses climate change;
meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources, including—

(i) by dramatically expanding and upgrading existing renewable power sources;  and

(ii) by deploying new capacity;
building or upgrading to energy-efficient, distributed, and ‘‘smart’’ power grids, and working to ensure affordable access to electricity;

upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximal energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification;

spurring massive growth in clean manufacturing in the United States and removing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and industry as much as is technologically feasible, including by expanding renewable energy manufacturing and investing in existing manufacturing and industry;

working collaboratively with farmers and ranchers in the United States to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector as much as is technologically feasible, including—

(i) by supporting family farming;

(ii) by investing in sustainable farming and land use practices that increase soil health; and

(iii) by building a more sustainable food system that ensures universal access to healthy food;
overhauling transportation systems in the United States to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector as much as is technologically feasible, including through investment in—

(i) zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and manufacturing;

(ii) clean, affordable, and accessible public transportation; and

(iii) high-speed rail;
mitigating and managing the long-term adverse health, economic, and other effects of pollution and climate change, including by providing funding for community-defined projects and strategies;

removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and reducing pollution, including by restoring natural ecosystems through proven low-tech solutions that increase soil carbon storage, such as preservation and afforestation;

restoring and protecting threatened, endangered, and fragile ecosystems through locally appropriate and science-based projects that enhance biodiversity and support climate resiliency;

cleaning up existing hazardous waste and abandoned sites to promote economic development and sustainability;
identifying other emission and pollution sources and creating solutions to eliminate them; and

promoting the international exchange of technology, expertise, products, funding, and services, with the aim of making the United States the international leader on climate action, and to help other countries achieve a Green New Deal;

NO WHERE does it mention: Getting rid of ALL fossil fuels, cows and air travel in 10 years!!!????</description>

He doesn&#039;t NEED ANY. Under IRS code 6103, the Joint Committee on Taxation and chairs of the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee have the authority to request the tax returns of individuals.

That&#039;s ANY American individual. No reason needed. 

&quot;WE DON&#039;T LIKE TRUMP is not grounds to invade an American&#039;s privacy..

Funny how ya&#039;all are BIG on personal privacy.. Unless the person has an -R after their names..

Little late to object NOW Michale, since the provision has been law SINCE 1924!</description>

		<description>JM,

&lt;I&gt;You know very well that what you are getting now from the Democrats is a counter-reaction to all the dirty Court tricks Mitch McConnell and the Republicans including Trump have already been playing over the last few years starting with Merrick Garland.&lt;/I&gt;

Which, in turn, were counter-reactions to all the dirty tricks that Dumbocrats have played...

You&#039;re problem is you can&#039;t be objective about it..  I concede that BOTH sides play their dirty tricks.. It&#039;s called POLITICS..

You demonize and castigate the GOP for their dirty tricks and act like Democrats are as pure as the driven snow...

&lt;I&gt;Really??? Point to me one post where I said I supported what the Democrats did regarding the Courts.&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Silence gives assent..&lt;/B&gt;
-Democrat Charlottesville Rule


&lt;I&gt;No, we don&#039;t KNOW how that ended up.&lt;/I&gt;

Yes, we do...  You just can&#039;t accept that ya&#039;all lost..

&lt;I&gt;e) all BESIDES the no COLLUSION finding&lt;/I&gt;

SO, you concede that none of that has ANYTHING to do with the Russia Collusion..

Let me lay it out for you.. Easy and succintly..

President Trump has been COMPLETELY exonerated on the bullshit and baseless Russia Collusion accusation..

COMPLETELY.... EXONERATED....

This fact, despite ya&#039;all&#039;s constant and ongoing claim that he was guilty..

YOU.... WERE.... WRONG....

So, what makes you think you won&#039;t be WRONG AGAIN on all you other accusations...

There is only ONE way you will remove President Trump from office..

The ballot box..

So why not just do it THAT way??

Because you and I both know you can&#039;t..

&lt;I&gt;AGAIN, that is a GROSS MIS-CHARACTERIZATION, and NOT what either the Green New Deal ACTUALLY says or even the Democratic positions.&lt;/I&gt;

Nope.. That is a factual assessment of what the Democrats believe in...

Of course they had to walk back a few things when even THEY realized how blatantly un-American their positions are...

We have a PERFECT example of Democrat Party rule..

Venezuela...</description>

&quot;2) There is still the ongoing investigation by the southern district of New York.

Yea.. There was a 675 day investigation with NO EXPENSE SPARED into Russia Collusion..

We all know how THAT ended up... :^/&quot;

No, we don&#039;t KNOW how that ended up.

1) The full Mueller report has not been released yet. Only what Barr says the 400 pages says in his own paltry 4 page release, which by the way, even he acknowledges can&#039;t exonerate the President from obstruction!

2) We don&#039;t know what other embarrassing items might be in the report regarding:

a) Bank fraud

b) insurance fraud

c) tax fraud

d) the counter intelligence operation 

e) all BESIDES the no COLLUSION finding</description>

&quot;JM, so if you think it&#039;s such a good idea, you wouldn&#039;t mind if President TRUMP increased the number of Justices to 15 and made sure ALL the extra 6 Justices were all conservatives, right???

No??

Oh that&#039;s right. It&#039;s ONLY a good idea if it favors the Dumbocrat Party...

Hysterical bigotry proven beyond any doubt..&quot;

You know very well that what you are getting now from the Democrats is a counter-reaction to all the dirty Court tricks Mitch McConnell and the Republicans including Trump have already been playing over the last few years starting with Merrick Garland.

		<description>&quot;Historically, Bernie has singlehandedly realigned the Democratic Party&#039;s ideology in a way not seen since perhaps what Ronald Reagan did to the Republicans back in 1976 and 1980. Just look at what was dismissed as &quot;too radical&quot; and &quot;pie in the sky&quot; during the 2016 race versus what has now become not only the mainstream Democratic Party agenda, but indeed what the majority of the 2020 candidates wholeheartedly support.&quot;

All the above is a pretty impressive feat of community organization. Life long community organizer Sanders ought to be pretty pleased about it. Assuming he can continue his streak into the White House, you have to wonder how well he can organize the House, Senate and yes, the Court Communities and actually change the current face plant trajectory of the USA.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;There you go, Mike. The UN-leakiest investigation in history is finally starting to leak, apparently because Barr has his facts wrong. Guess it had to happen sooner or later...&lt;/I&gt;

		<description>Balthy,

You can spin it all you want..

But the FACTS remain the same..

Not a SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted for Occasional Cortex&#039;s pie in the sky bullshit plan...

They ALL had a chance to go on the record and say &lt;B&gt; &quot;YES.. THIS PLAN IS A GOOD PLAN AND IS NEEDED!!&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

And not a SINGLE DEMOCRAT did that....

NOT.... A..... SINGLE..... DEMOCRAT..... voted for this bullshit idea...

You can try to cover your embarrassment with spin until the cows come home.. Just like you do with Mueller completely exonerating President Trump on Russia Collusion..

But FACTS are stubborn things.. They remain the same, despite ALL the spin...</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;How embarrassing it must be for Occasional Cortex that not a SINGLE Democrat voted for her hysterical delusion..&lt;/b&gt;

Not embarrassing at all:

&quot;Nearly all members of the Democratic caucus voted “present” when the resolution came up for a vote on Tuesday, with just four breaking and voting against it. Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), and Doug Jones (D-AL), all lawmakers from more moderate or conservative states voted “No” on the resolution. Sen. Angus King (I-ME), an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, also voted against it.

Democrats predominately voted “present” on the resolution as a means of calling out Republicans, who had set up this vote to highlight potential splits in the Democratic caucus and force lawmakers to splinter from a high-profile, progressive idea.&quot;

&quot;“The Senate vote is a perfect example of that kind of superficial approach to government,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday. “What McConnell’s doing is that he’s trying to rush this bill to the floor without a hearing, without any markups, without working through committee — because he doesn’t want to save our planet. Because he thinks we can drink oil in 30 years when all our water is poisoned.”&quot;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;2020 Democrats go silent after Senate’s Green New Deal debacle

To quote John McEnroe: ‘You cannot be serious!’

OPINION — In the awkward aftermath of the Green New Deal’s rollout, perhaps the most appropriate question for its supporters, especially the Democratic presidential field, is one often posed by tennis bad boy John McEnroe: “You cannot be serious!”

But, apparently, when New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey introduced their proposal in February, they were deadly serious, and breathless progressives couldn’t wait to hop aboard the climate change express. First in line, the Democratic presidential candidates in the Senate who were eager to offer up their enthusiastic support.

There was just one snag. The Green New Deal, in reality, wasn’t serious. These weren’t well-thought-out ideas or vetted policies. They were far left talking points that couldn’t possibly survive any real scrutiny. And they didn’t.

The blowback was epic. Critics pounced on the resolution’s absurd provisions. America would have to retool every structure in the country to maximize energy efficiency. No cars. No planes. Trains to everywhere. Well, except from L.A. to San Francisco, where fiscal reality has already ended that green dream.&lt;/B&gt;
http://www.rollcall.com/news/the-green-new-deal-you-cannot-be-serious

Once again.. Democrats captured by their social constructs at the expense of the physical reality..

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Democratic Party Is Radicalizing
Extremism isn’t just affecting the GOP.

To more fully grasp the leftward lurch of the Democratic Party, it’s useful to run through some of the ideas that are now being seriously talked about and embraced by leading members of the party—ideas that together would be fiscally ruinous, invest massive and unwarranted trust in central planners, and weaken America’s security.


The Green New Deal, a 10-year effort to eliminate fossil fuels “as much as is technologically feasible” that would completely transform the American economy, put the federal government in partial or complete control over large sectors, and retrofit every building in America. It would change the way we travel and eat, switch the entire electrical grid to renewable energy sources, and for good measure “guarantee” high-paying jobs, affordable housing, and universal health care. It would be astronomically costly and constitute by far the greatest centralization of power in American history.

Medicare for all, which would greatly expand the federal role in health care. Some versions would wipe out the health-insurance industry and do away with employer-sponsored health plans that now cover roughly 175 million Americans. This would be hugely disruptive and unpopular (70 percent of Americans are happy with their coverage), and would exacerbate the worst efficiencies of an already highly inefficient program.

Make college tuition-free and debt-free, with the no-debt promise including both tuition and living expenses—a highly expensive undertaking ($50 billion a year or so just for the federal government)—that would transfer money from less wealthy families whose children do not attend college to wealthier families whose children do. It could also have potentially devastating effects on many private, not-for-profit colleges.

Increase the top marginal tax rate to 70 percent from its current rate of 37 percent for those making more than $10 million, unwise in the 21st-century economy and far above the average top rate for OECD nations; and impose a “wealth tax” that would levy a 2 percent annual tax on a household’s assets—including stocks, real estate, and retirement funds—above $50 million. It isn’t even clear whether a tax on wealth rather than income would be constitutional, but that almost seems beside the point.

Abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which upholds immigration laws; protect “sanctuary cities” (local jurisdictions that don’t fully cooperate with federal efforts to find and deport unauthorized immigrants); and take down existing walls on the southern border, walls which Speaker Nancy Pelosi has referred to as “an immorality.” These policies signal that Democrats don’t really believe in border security and are mostly untroubled by illegal immigration.

Eliminate the Senate filibuster, pack the courts, and put an end to the Electoral College. The effect of these would be to weaken protections against abuses of majority power.

Reparations for African Americans to provide compensation for past injustices like slavery, Jim Crow laws, and redlining. (Senator Elizabeth Warren believes Native Americans should be included as well.) Reparations would pose countless practical problems and create unintended consequences, as David Frum argued in these pages.

Opposition to any limits on even third-trimester abortions, and opposition to the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation clarifying that babies who survive attempted abortions must receive medical care. Abortion is a very difficult issue that requires empathy on all sides—but for many of us, this stance of Democrats is morally incomprehensible.

Increasing antipathy aimed at Israel, one of the most estimable nations in the world. Two freshmen Democrats, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, have embraced the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement targeting Israel, and House Democratic leaders faced a fierce backlash in their efforts to condemn the anti-Semitic remarks by Omar, who has a record of anti-Semitic comments and who most recently accused supporters of Israel of dual loyalties.

The Democrat Party is whacked..  There is simply no other way to explain it..</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The Democratic Party Is Radicalizing<br />
Extremism isn’t just affecting the GOP.</p>
<p>To more fully grasp the leftward lurch of the Democratic Party, it’s useful to run through some of the ideas that are now being seriously talked about and embraced by leading members of the party—ideas that together would be fiscally ruinous, invest massive and unwarranted trust in central planners, and weaken America’s security.</p>
<p>The Green New Deal, a 10-year effort to eliminate fossil fuels “as much as is technologically feasible” that would completely transform the American economy, put the federal government in partial or complete control over large sectors, and retrofit every building in America. It would change the way we travel and eat, switch the entire electrical grid to renewable energy sources, and for good measure “guarantee” high-paying jobs, affordable housing, and universal health care. It would be astronomically costly and constitute by far the greatest centralization of power in American history.</p>
<p>Medicare for all, which would greatly expand the federal role in health care. Some versions would wipe out the health-insurance industry and do away with employer-sponsored health plans that now cover roughly 175 million Americans. This would be hugely disruptive and unpopular (70 percent of Americans are happy with their coverage), and would exacerbate the worst efficiencies of an already highly inefficient program.</p>
<p>Make college tuition-free and debt-free, with the no-debt promise including both tuition and living expenses—a highly expensive undertaking ($50 billion a year or so just for the federal government)—that would transfer money from less wealthy families whose children do not attend college to wealthier families whose children do. It could also have potentially devastating effects on many private, not-for-profit colleges.</p>
<p>Increase the top marginal tax rate to 70 percent from its current rate of 37 percent for those making more than $10 million, unwise in the 21st-century economy and far above the average top rate for OECD nations; and impose a “wealth tax” that would levy a 2 percent annual tax on a household’s assets—including stocks, real estate, and retirement funds—above $50 million. It isn’t even clear whether a tax on wealth rather than income would be constitutional, but that almost seems beside the point.</p>
<p>Abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which upholds immigration laws; protect “sanctuary cities” (local jurisdictions that don’t fully cooperate with federal efforts to find and deport unauthorized immigrants); and take down existing walls on the southern border, walls which Speaker Nancy Pelosi has referred to as “an immorality.” These policies signal that Democrats don’t really believe in border security and are mostly untroubled by illegal immigration.</p>
<p>Eliminate the Senate filibuster, pack the courts, and put an end to the Electoral College. The effect of these would be to weaken protections against abuses of majority power.</p>
<p>Reparations for African Americans to provide compensation for past injustices like slavery, Jim Crow laws, and redlining. (Senator Elizabeth Warren believes Native Americans should be included as well.) Reparations would pose countless practical problems and create unintended consequences, as David Frum argued in these pages.</p>
<p>Opposition to any limits on even third-trimester abortions, and opposition to the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation clarifying that babies who survive attempted abortions must receive medical care. Abortion is a very difficult issue that requires empathy on all sides—but for many of us, this stance of Democrats is morally incomprehensible.</p>
<p>Increasing antipathy aimed at Israel, one of the most estimable nations in the world. Two freshmen Democrats, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, have embraced the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement targeting Israel, and House Democratic leaders faced a fierce backlash in their efforts to condemn the anti-Semitic remarks by Omar, who has a record of anti-Semitic comments and who most recently accused supporters of Israel of dual loyalties. (The Democratic House, unable to pass a measure that focused solely on anti-Semitism, eventually passed a resolution condemning “hateful expressions of intolerance.”)</b><br />

But OK.. I am ALL for ONE STATE selecting our President..

As long as that state is Texas...  Would YOU be OK with that???   

I don&#039;t think so...

Hope ya feel better soon.. I am dying to know your thoughts on President Trump being completely and utterly exonerated on Russia Collusion..</description>

They will come to regret this sooner or later. Either in 2020, or 2024, when we get both a Democratic Senate and President again.&lt;/I&gt;

Probably

Just as Democrats were told that THEIR actions would come back and bite THEM on the ass..

Funny how you were all supportive of the Democrats when they took those actions..

Thereby proving once again, it&#039;s ALL about the -D/-R with ya...</description>

		<description>RE: Stacking The SCOTUS...

JM, so if you think it&#039;s such a good idea, you wouldn&#039;t mind if President TRUMP increased the number of Justices to 15 and made sure ALL the extra 6 Justices were all conservatives, right???

No??

Oh that&#039;s right.  It&#039;s ONLY a good idea if it favors the Dumbocrat Party...

Hysterical bigotry proven beyond any doubt..</description>

		<description>JM,

&lt;I&gt;1) We&#039;re still hearing about the Russian connection with the investigation into the Trump inauguration campaign, including all the dealings with Pro-Russian Ukrainians.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea?? Of course ya&#039;all are still hearing that..

That&#039;s ALL you have been hearing for almost 3 years..

You&#039;ll still be &quot;hearing&quot; that til the day you die.

Thank you for proving my point..

&lt;I&gt;2) There is still the ongoing investigation by the southern district of New York.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. There was a 675 day investigation with NO EXPENSE SPARED into Russia Collusion..

We all know how THAT ended up...   :^/

Face reality, JM...  You will NEVER remove President Trump from office..

You are going to have to do it the old fashioned way..  At the ballot box.

I know, I know.. Ya&#039;all Democrats can&#039;t handle that reality.. 

So, by all means.. Play with your social constructs til you get hairy palms. Makes me no never mind..

&lt;I&gt;Yes, and it doesn&#039;t matter. &lt;/I&gt;

If it doesn&#039;t matter, why all the hyper-hysterical PTDS???

If ya know yer gonna win anyways, why are ya&#039;all so apoplectic???

&lt;I&gt;Candidates including Sens.Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., have all signaled an openness to overhauling the Supreme Court if they become President. Mayor Pete Buttigieg&#039;s plan is more specific. &quot;One idea that I think is interesting is, you have 15 members..&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, FDR thought about doing that too...  He realized what a moronic thing it was to do..

Go for it.. I double dog dare ya...</description>

		<description>[58] Chris Weigant

&lt;i&gt;From listening to BBC radio as one of two main news sources (the other being the Intl Herald Tribune) while living in France in the early 1990s, when Europe was just beginning to come together, the impression I got of Britain is that they still hadn&#039;t quite gotten over not being an Empire anymore. In all their news, they would refer to &quot;Britain&quot; as being separate from &quot;Europe&quot; (&quot;...and in other news, over in Europe, the French government blah blah blah...&quot;).

I was left with the impression that Britain wanted to see Europe set up a government on the following lines: all the other EC countries would collectively have one vote over any issue, and then Britain would have one vote. If there was a tie, Britian&#039;s vote would be the decisive one.
&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, Chris, that&#039;s just about it. For decades large numbers people who read the conservative tabloids have thought like that. This didn&#039;t matter much because they weren&#039;t interested in politics and the country was run by a collection of people containing a large enough percentage of non-cretins to keep the show on the road. 

But our politics has decayed so much that the cretins (the phrase &quot;mad swivel-eyed loons&quot; is perhaps more accurate) have, decade by decade within the Conservative party, taken over successively the card-carrying membership of local candidates, the local officials, the Parliamentary candidate list, the Conservative MPs in the House of Commmons and, finally, the Government. It was worse than we thought. But Brexit has brought it into the open.</description>

		<description>Of course, you meant to say &#039;Neil ageist rant. Very sorry&#039;, I will assume.

You should know that this is Biden&#039;s time because he is the only Democrat who can not only beat Trump but clean up the &lt;I&gt;Trump Mess&lt;/I&gt; (Augean Stables mess, that is), domestically and internationally, and revive the promise of America. 

And, that would be just the first day! Well, first term, anyway. It will be a Herculean effort, after all ...</description>

		<description>I&#039;m telling you - we need some young blood - there are too many skeletons in the closets with the 65+-year-olds - even if the skeletons today were Casper the Friendly Ghost in the past (e.g. the asinine debate about Biden being touchy-feely - if he realized it was an issue he&#039;d have backed off decades ago - he isn&#039;t a bad guy, he&#039;s a guy given privileged messages and not realizing it. Now it is clear, it is also clear that the touchy-feelie has to become formal-handshakie.

We learned not to say a lot of words we took for granted in the past. We&#039;ve learned to become more respectful of people. We are not perfect, but I&#039;ll always forgive somebody sincerely trying to learn from their mistakes.

Why?

Because I&#039;m trying to learn sincerely, hopefully from other people&#039;s mistakes, but we are not all perfect, and I assume I&#039;ll screw up.

Motives are more important than instances. We need to absorb that lesson soon.

Neil rant out. Sorry.</description>
