How refreshing to see a comment from someone who actually knows what he's talking about and doesn't resort to the same old tired whataboutism, deflection, and circular asinine bullshit.

Thank you, Neil. Good form. :)

Because, short of being taken out, President Trump is guaranteed to win a second term...

I think Trump will "win" multiple terms... prison terms; although, perhaps due to this mental condition and advanced age, he will be allowed probation or concurrent terms. Regardless, life as he's known it is over, and he knows that.

It's difficult to tell which is going to be worse as the 2020 election progresses- listening to the Cult 45 crowd or the same old you have no the choice but the lame false alternative big money Democrats wimps.

Easy answer, Don... it's your bullshit that's going to be worse. It probably never occurred to you, but your repetitive asinine bullshit is just as tiresome to everyone else as theirs is. :)

I mean nowhere did Biden mention anything about the US or China's economy. This stop in Iowa wasn't about any economy. He didn't say anything about a military competition, either.

You know, EM, I was thinking everything you just said on Friday when I first read it. You and I know what Joe was talking about, and it had nothing to do with numbers.

Bottom Line: You can't even breathe the damn air in China. There is a Canadian company that sells canned air from the Rocky Mountains to the people in China who can't breathe because of the "smog airpocalypse" that hangs constantly overhead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hb_uHZ2Quw

It wasn't a gaffe, either. Although, I fully understand how easy it is to see it that way.

Of course it wasn't; Joe is merely contrasting himself with the "be-afraid-of-everything-perpetual-grievance-make-America-great-again" whiny bullshit that dominates every right-wing outlet from sea to shining sea. Joe is simply saying: America is already great, you fraidy ignorant whiny little britches. :)

There's a Huffpo article today you shoud visit. Something on the order of "Owed taxes this year"? Here's how to make sure it doesn't happen again."

No, thank you, Stucki. I don't need advice regarding tax issues from anywhere. There's also nothing in any article on any website or anywhere else that can change your incorrect statement:

The only thing that affects the size your tax refund is your W-4 that you file with your employer to indicate how much you want to be over-withheld. ~ Ignorant Stucki

You do realize that there are a lot of people who don't work for an "employer" and therefore a W-4 would be useless in affecting the size of their tax refunds, right? You do realize that people actually remit their estimated taxes directly to taxing entities all over the United States, right?

Pretty much duplicates what I told you about the people you were claiming believed their refunds were "too small" on account of something Trump did.

That was Russ, Stucki, not me. My role on the topic involved agreeing wholeheartedly with Russ regarding your asinine statement... which is rather conveniently quoted above.

You need to let it finally "sink in" that things that were tax deductible in 2017 are now no longer tax deductible in 2018 and that certain deductions that are still allowable after the recent tax changes have been given caps that never existed until now. You also need to let it sink in that your statement is not merely false, it is also ignorant and shortsighted since not everyone is an "employee."

Bottom line: Your asinine statement is still as ridiculous today as it was a few days ago and so shall remain ever thus. :)

Yea... And Trump colluded with the Russians too.. :D

You can't win, Balthy.. :D

Of course, you know that isn't permanent. And that there's a jail term attached.

"Oooooooo Access denied!!!"

It is not surprising that President Obama is not endorsing his chosen vice president and, according to recent media accounts, urged him not to run in 2016. Let us remember that President Obama had to endorse Biden in 2012 to calm Democratic jitters about keeping him as vice president because of his verbal gaffes. Once Biden starts talking, he invariably goes on until he says something that is offensive or embarrassing. And right now, there is no easier group to offend and embarrass than Democratic primary voters.
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/david-avella-joe-biden-election-president-lose-democratic-nomiee

I am sorry, Liz.. Despite Biden's recent verbal gaffe of saying that leftist terrorists are very fine people, it gives me no pleasure to post this...

The simple fact is, this is not the Democrat Party that someone like Biden can win in...

Is that to signify good and evil??

But HHPTDS (Hyper Hysterical President Trump Derangement Syndrome) does strange things to people...

So, I guess it's to be expected..

Hopefully once President Trump is re-elected in a landslide in 2020, it will be such a shock to ya'all's system that it snaps you free of the syndrome that causes you so much hate and intolerance and hysteria...

Fingers crossed...

Further, only a moron would think that 17 months before the 2020 election is "right before"...

And I know yer not a moron... Well, usually yer not..

Yea.. The Democrat way is MUCH better!! :eyeroll:

Duh. What's interesting is that the research, conducted for Public Services International, a global trade union federation, left any wiggle room at all.

Do you have ANY facts to support your denigration of the report??

Other than your slavery to your Party agenda, that is..

:eyeroll:

Yeah, that'd work.

Duh. What's interesting is that the research, conducted for Public Services International, a global trade union federation, left any wiggle room at all.

It could find no evidence to suggest that such a scheme could be sustained for all individuals in any country in the short, medium or longer term – or that this approach could achieve lasting improvements in wellbeing or equality. The research confirms the importance of generous, non-stigmatising income support, but everything turns on how much money is paid, under what conditions and with what consequences for the welfare system as a whole.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/06/universal-basic-income-public-realm-poverty-inequality

Giving away free money to those too lazy to work (ala Occasional Cortex's suggestion) simply does not work..

It creates a society of freeloaders who are slaves to those doling out the free money..

It’s a new, more aggressive look for Team Sanders. The senator who four years ago was known as a gruff but endearing candidate running a democratic-socialist, ideas-driven campaign has decided to bare his fangs more quickly this time, in hopes that it may actually win him the nomination.

So much for "We are able to have differing opinions on how we best solve problems without resorting to name calling and insults."

Why did Tyrion Lannister and Eddard Stark wear the Hand Of The King badge on the Left, but Tywin wear the badge on the right??

Oh wait.. I already know the answer..

Wow, Russ..

Democrats make deals with terrorists..

My mistake..

Iran doesn't control Hamas in Gaza..

It's Iran's proxy, Islamic Jihad, that is pushing the current conflict with Israel, not Hamas..

My apologies for the error...

Obama should have turned Iran into a parking lot rather than make a deal with them and give them billions of dollars they now use to fund their terrorist proxies...

The story caused a sensation, with wide media coverage and public demands for increased security measures, but the crime victim remained silent and her identity was kept secret. Nearly a year later, the victim, Lindsey, contacted me. After being raped, she had approached city leaders and met with the sitting councilman for nearly an hour but was received, she says, with dismissiveness. Teel’s crime against her did not fit the preferred narrative of compassion for the homeless, so the political class downplayed it. By the time Lindsey reached out to me, she was ready to speak out.
https://www.city-journal.org/seattle-elites-homeless-crime

This is why the hypocrisy of the Democrats is so aggravating and ya'all's support and furtherance of that hypocrisy so saddening...

Everything ya'all do and say is to further that exact hypocritical agenda..

Nothing else matters.. Not compassion for the victims, not anything.. The AGENDA is all that matters..

The Democrat Party propaganda arm at work...

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/05/joe-biden-busing-problem-226791

This is why I doubt Joe Biden will be able to win the Dem primary...

If Dems want to hold President Trump responsible for what he did 10-20-30 years again, then Biden must be held to the same standard..

By this logic, truth is no longer an absolute. It is a relative norm. Barr is never fast and loose with the truth. His real sin, in the eyes of the shouting Democrats, may simply involve being too serious for a day in which men such as Michael Avenatti are able to look in the mirror and see a president.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/04/did-nancy-pelosi-just-jump-shark/?utm_term=.a6627725e498

And therein is the EXACT problem ya'all have..

For ya'all define "lie" as ANYTHING you don't want to hear...

No wonder you believe that Trump has told 10,000 lies! Because whatever Trump says, you don't want to hear it..

So, it's a lie..

What a sad commentary on a group of allegedly intelligent people (NEN) that they have sunk so low as to be like this...

I would like to think that things will get better but I know, after Trump wins re-election in a landslide, it's only going to get worse..

And THAT is a frightening thought. That ya'all (NEN) could actually sink lower in the muck and mud..

And what is so hilarious is that Democrats are the architects of their own downfall!! :D

Considering our national intelligence agencies to use their alleged "intelligence" as a political weapon...

Who could blame President Trump??

To me, it's a sad commentary on our intelligence apparatus that they can't be trusted...

Of course YOU don't see that because they were doing what YOU wanted them to do..

Trying to remove a legally, fairly and freely elected President of the United States..

What's your take on intelligence that suggests Iran is pushing Hamas to attack Israel in the latest Gaza flare up??

-POTUS, AUSTIN POWERS-THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME

I know you are being silly, but it's ironic..

It sounds JUST as silly when Democrats say that about President Trump...

Iddn't it funny that it's only DEMOCRATS who make that accusation against Biden??

Facts are ALWAYS serious..

Do you have any FACTS to support your claim that my facts are non serious???

the jockeys should have some pie.

JL

except when it comes to pie.

JL

Non-serious.

And yet, the FACTS that prove it are ever prevalant..

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Clintons shouldn't feel so bad...

The Democrat Party is in as sad a shape as the Clintons are...

Misery loves company... :D

So... The Democrats gained the House based on Russia influence..

The Democrats gained the House despite the Russian influence!

You STILL believe that.. This, despite EVERYONE who is ANYONE up to AND INCLUDING your own Messiah, Odumbo, who have **ALL** stated that Russian actions had NO EFFECT on election results..

Thanks for admitting that even you recognize that Russia influenced our elections.

Your words would have much more meaning if they came from ACTUAL parenting, rather than just Democrat talking points..

Great job of deflecting from having to address my argument. Look, just because you didn’t pull out and your sister mistook a Pez for her birth control doesn’t mean your argument has any credibility.

For over ten years I dedicated my life to working with and counseling high school aged kids. While I may not be the birth parent to any child, I have hundreds of kids that I have called “mine”.

I was the one they moved in with and who took care of them after Mom decided to run off with a new boyfriend and abandoned them. I was also the one who they went to when they find out they were pregnant and were too scared to tell their parents. I was the one who went with them to let their parents know they were pregnant and scared. I have seen firsthand the horrors that some parents have inflicted on their children, so spare me the “unless you are a parent” defense.

A brain dead woman can still give birth — does not mean she knows anything about what a child needs to be healthy.

Of course he does..EVERYTHING bad is because of those with a -R after their name and EVERYTHING pure and good is because of those with a -D after their name...

That asinine thinking is still infinitely wrong, Michale.

There's an article on Huffpo today, something like "Trump Vows to increase tariffs on Chinese imports", with Trump Tweet quotes where he claims that CHINA pays the tariff taxes he levies in Chinese imports, and says that's why our economy is doing so well.

Gawdallmighty, can't somebody straighten the moron out on that? Doesn't he have any qualified advosors?

Do you blame Odumbo for Libya or Syria or all the innocent people killed in drone strikes??

Of course you don't...

Because Odumbo has a -D after his name and he gets a pass..

Yer such a tool...

Of course...

SOLELY because Joe has a -D after his name and Trump has a -R after his name...

Of course I do, because that's who was in office.

Liz, I'm with Joe as a first choice, so don't worry about me. This is Joe's race, because it's impossible to out-gaffe Trump.

Of course he does..

EVERYTHING bad is because of those with a -R after their name and EVERYTHING pure and good is because of those with a -D after their name...

So it is with fanatical Party ideologues..

Liz [69]: But those certain conditions were never met by the Americans.

And, by American, you mean the Bush/CHENEY administration

Liz [69]: But those certain conditions were never met by the Americans.

And, by American, you mean the Bush/CHENEY administration.

Which won't stop them from doing exactly that...

Correct. But, you and Bernie Sanders cannot say that Biden voted for war.

You are getting tired of being always wrong about everything to do with Trump and it's very frustrating for you...

You COULD always accept the facts and reality. That President Trump isn't as bad as you claim he is and he is actually doing some good things for the country..

But, no.. You won't do that because then your entire existence for the last 2+ years would have been a lie...

And you can't face that..

Wow, I must really be getting under your skin.. :D

You've got to be super-specific, because maroon here will stop reading after the first sentence.

Agreed...

If Trump had made such a mistake ya'all would be pointing at it and saying it's "proof positive" of something or a rather...

Biden voted in favor of the AUMF of 2003..

Well, the vote was in October 2002 and you are right that Biden voted to give President Bush the authorization to use military force in Iraq if certain conditions were met.

This vote was taken several months before the war began and after serious efforts were taken to avoid having to use that authorization.

While Hillary and John Edwards apologized during their 2008 presidential primary campaigns for their respective "votes for war", they really had no idea what they were talking about.

If you or anyone is interested in what this vote was all about and in the context in which that vote took place, then I would recommend reading the floor speeches by Senator Biden in the days before that vote took place.

ANd once again, you change the subject because you can't argue the REAL point..

No one argues against LEGAL immigration..

It's only ILLEGAL immigration that is contested..

Well, contested by all patriotic Americans.. Welcomed by Democrats and traitors...

Ahhhhhhh I see..

So, Russia interferes SUCCESSFULLY when a GOP'er wins the election..

But Russia is NOT successful in interfering in an election when DEMOCRATS win...

Don't you find such blind subservience to Party dogma annoying???

Because it sure is LAUGHABLE... :D

Try to catch up with reality Michale, Putin ain't supporting anyone but Trump - he said so himself - or did that not make it past your partisan blinder filter?

Even if true, so??

You didn't mind it when Odumbo bent the knee and pledged "flexibility" to Putin...

Why does it bother you with Trump??

Oh, yea.. That's right. Odumbo has a -D after his name, so that makes it all right.. :^/

Again, I have to ask.. Blind subservience to Party dogma?? Annoying??

China lifted its one-child policy, because they suddenly understood how demographics work. But it is too late - their form of capitalism doesn't allow for free movement of people or generate enough wealth yet, so people are saving money by not having babies.

Japan saw the same thing happen.

So is Italy, and many other OECD countries.

The U.S. has a similar problem (see Steve King for his moronic take on the problem). But we have one thing going for us, we are the nation everybody wants to live in. So as long as we can keep growing our population (and don't care about how many gene's that encode for melanin somebody has), we have the chance to continue growing with a somewhat proportional balance between working age and retired.

If you want a strong America, you need immigration - for people and ideas. End of story.

Let me set you straight:

So... The Democrats gained the House despite Russia influence..

Try to catch up with reality Michale, Putin ain't supporting anyone but Trump - he said so himself - or did that not make it past your partisan blinder filter?

"I know, right!!??"
-Felix, WRECK IT RALPH

But I'm willing to give it a try if the morons will. :D

Heh

So... The Democrats gained the House based on Russia influence..

Interesting...

Do you think Biden voted for war in Iraq?

Biden voted in favor of the AUMF of 2003..

https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=107&session=2&vote=00237

Do you think Biden voted for war in Iraq?

What do you say?

Did Russia interfere in the 2018 Mid Term elections???

Nor am I..

You'll note my point was solely confined to the hypocrisy of the Left in supporting the ripping away of childhoods when it supports the Leftist agenda..

If your child does not feel that they can turn to you in this moment of crisis, then the problem is with your relationship with them! It is not the fault of the clinic staff.

Your words would have much more meaning if they came from ACTUAL parenting, rather than just Democrat talking points..

Actually, it has everything to do with it. Trump cannot handle the fact that he is president thanks in large part to Russia’s interference in our election.

You STILL believe that.. This, despite EVERYONE who is ANYONE up to AND INCLUDING your own Messiah, Odumbo, who have **ALL** stated that Russian actions had NO EFFECT on election results..

I honestly don't know how to converse with someone who is SOOO self-deluded...

Odd that he could tell Putin was smiling since they were not video conferencing.

Just as, I am sure, Odumbo could tell that Putin was smiling when Odumbo bent the knee and pledged fealty to Putin thru Putin's minion..

What's your point???

You LOST the election.. Fair and square.. If you and Democrats can't move on, you'll never win another presidency in our lifetime again..

Ahhh So you don't mind taking away children's youth, eh? :D

I was not the one who was pushing for allowing child labor in this country — the very suggestion makes it clear that “taking away their youth” does not matter to you.

It's you dumbshit Democrats who want to let girls of 12 or 13 make decisions about having an abortion without parental consent..

Oh....she is NOT old enough/mature enough to decide for herself if she wants to become a parent at that age, but she is old enough/mature enough to be forced into becoming a parent, is that it?

Mom and Dad should be the ones to decide if their raped daughter should have to give birth to her rapist’s child?

While most people who argue for requiring parental consent do so out of the fear that their child will try to keep them from finding out about the pregnancy and not that they oppose their daughter’s desire to terminate the pregnancy, the problem is that requiring parental consent takes the choice away from the person facing becoming a parent.

If your child does not feel that they can turn to you in this moment of crisis, then the problem is with your relationship with them! It is not the fault of the clinic staff.

Oh, you mean how he has lied about the number of Electoral College votes he received?

Again, nothing to do with the point.

Actually, it has everything to do with it. Trump cannot handle the fact that he is president thanks in large part to Russia’s interference in our election.

Which explains why he failed to bring up the subject of interfering in our elections during his almost 1.5 hour phone call to his handler — Putin.

"We discussed, he sort of smiled when he said something to the effect that it started off as a mountain and it ended up being a mouse, but he knew that, because he knew there was no collusion whatsoever, so pretty much that’s what it was," Trump told reporters.

Odd that he could tell Putin was smiling since they were not video conferencing.

And Trump once again chose to accept Putin’s word over that of our national intelligence agencies — this time concerning Russia’s involvement in Venezuela!

The 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner said he didn’t want to get down in the mud with Trump, but if he had to choose a moniker for the current White House occupant it would be a “clown.”

And THAT was just a 10 second search.. Imagine how many facts I will have to put lie to your claim on my day off tomorrow!! :D

No, it's personal attacks on character...

We are able to have differing opinions on how we best solve problems without having to resort to name calling and insults.

Oh wow.. Thanks Russ... I'll be able to use that quote for the next year and a half!!! :D

but we are able to disagree and work out compromises to find the best courses of action.

Considering all the facts to the contrary, I am surprised you can type that without your fingers turning to fire...

Yeah, by “showing their true colors” you mean that they are pointing out where they disagree with another candidates proposed solutions. We are able to have differing opinions on how we best solve problems without having to resort to name calling and insults.

Democrats need to jump on the bandwagon or get run over by it..

Either way is fine with me.. :D

Of course, all bets are off if Trump wins a second term.

Because, short of being taken out, President Trump is guaranteed to win a second term...

President Trump is simply a better president than Odumbo could EVER hope to be..

Because, short of being taken out, President Trump is guaranteed to win a second term...

Which has nothing to do with the point of accepting election results..

Or that he actually won the popular vote because Hillary hired 3 million Mexicans to vote for her?

Again, nothing to do with the point.

No...no problem at all!

Whatever you have to tell yourself to make it thru your day.. :D

Yes, many do,

I am assuming you don't have kids...

Thank you for proving my point..

It’s not so much “GHASTLY” as it is STUPID! Children in the workforce would create massive unemployment.

Ahhh So you don't mind taking away children's youth, eh? :D

Actually, you inbred conservatives are the ones knocking up children, forcing the issue of abortion on them.

Not factually accurate..

It's you dumbshit Democrats who want to let girls of 12 or 13 make decisions about having an abortion without parental consent..

The same goes for gender dysphoria — you are the ones who have a problem with kid identifying as something you disagree with!

It's not a question of me disagreeing or not.. It's a question of disagreeing with FACTS, BIOLOGY and REALITY...

Something ya'all dumbshit Democrats have a problem with understanding..

I mean, com'on.. Creating new genders???

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Of course, all bets are off if Trump wins a second term.

And, with respect to political systems, China will NEVER be a political competitor or ever hope to lead the free world. This is what Biden is talking about.

I'm looking forward to Biden speaking forcefully about the need to revive the TPP. One of the things I hated most about the Hillary campaign was her reversal on the TPP in an effort to win an election. Ha!

And do you HONESTLY believe that a 6 yr old has the maturity and understanding to know who they "really are"..

Yes, many do, although they may not have the language skills necessary to express that knowledge. I knew from the age of three that I was attracted to guys and not girls.

You act all abhorrent when someone suggests that a child enter the work force and become a productive member of society... HOW GHASTLY!!!

It’s not so much “GHASTLY” as it is STUPID! Children in the workforce would create massive unemployment. They would be eligible to receive unemployment benefits, so that’s gonna be a huge hit to the economy. And don’t think that they will be cheap labor, as they’d be paid the same as their adult counterparts.

The GOP definitely wants to keep people as uneducated as possible or they would lose a majority of their base!

Yet, you push on kids adult themes like abortion and sexuality and gender dysphoria!!

Actually, you inbred conservatives are the ones knocking up children, forcing the issue of abortion on them. The same goes for gender dysphoria — you are the ones who have a problem with kid identifying as something you disagree with!

Yea, cuz it's TRUMP who has the reputation for NOT accepting election results..

Oh, you mean how he has lied about the number of Electoral College votes he received? Or that he actually won the popular vote because Hillary hired 3 million Mexicans to vote for her? Or that he won by a larger margin than any Republican in history? Glad you admitted that it was Trump who had the problem!

No...no problem at all!

That isn't to say they aren't currently a bad actor from an economic behavior perspective. We need to get a real President in the White House to bring back the TPP and start squeezing them instead of spouting nonsense and ensuring tariffs hurt American farmers and manufacturers.

However their financial system is very fragile, and they are about to embark on a return to dictators-for-life - a system that has seldom resulted in a peaceful transfer of power or long term economic strength.

The ability of China to survive the first severe home grown economic downturn is likely to be tested within the next 10-15 years, and then we'll see how they reconstitute themselves. If they suffer a major meltdown, especially if the other regional economies build stronger financial institutions (both public and private), then they could languish for years or decades propping up zombie SOEs and lose a lot of their ability to project power. This will, of course, be made worse if their currency weakens and they start to take on a lot of relatively low interest rate (for them) dollar denominated debt. Just ask Turkey.

Yea, cuz it's TRUMP who has the reputation for NOT accepting election results..

You see your problem???

You are completely delusional, you know that??

What *IS* it about Democrats that they simply cannot handle when they legally, fairly and freely lose!???
