It will be rule #4 used against them. They have already been trying their version for the past 5 months plus on Trump. The left doesn't have enough unity or loyalty to stick together, and will try to jettison their own quickly and hope it all goes away. It won't go away.

So, who do you guys think will be the first arrested? Hillary? Donny Jr.? My mom? Who? Monday is so far away!

Flynn would be my guess.

It's gotta be Manafort.

Gonna have to hustle to get the betting pool set up before Monday. High odds on Manafort/Flynn, low odds on Clinton/Trump. And fuck it, million-to-one that he indicts himself.


Although it could be misdirection, I thought I had seen where Manafort's defense said they had received no word, which would be required by law. I haven't heard anything one way or the other about Flynn.

This isn't about left or right, or Dem or Rep. It's about core human values.

There's not a way that a more capable, established contractor wouldn't have offered up a more reasonable contract to Puerto Rico.

I'd like to know if the job was PROPERLY offered up for tender.


Yes, a six month bidding process, with a 2 year environmental impact study while the people wait with no power would be so much better.

If Puerto Rico doesn't pay, the company could end up getting almost nothing. According to the NPR article, it looks like Puerto Rico didn't follow the FEMA guidelines that were in place to help make sure the contract rates were reasonable.

Puerto Rico is like a case study in how NOT to run a government.

that's funny but when I read the immigration ban, I see a lot of racism towards people from the middle east. Especially with those attempted bans of countries that had no act of terrorism in the US but were still claimed as a threat to national security.



If you mean the original travel ban, then your racism assessment needs to be directed at Obama and his administration, since they were the ones that drew up the list of countries considered dangerous. Trump merely added a travel ban to the list Obama already made.

Once cored, humans have no values and are easily used as thralls. That's the left's preferred course of action.

I'd agree that it *should* be about following laws, but then 3/4 of our elected officials would have served some prison time, and Hillary would be sitting in prison longer than others who broke lesser security laws.

What were are dealing with now has little to do with law or morality, but is both sides exploiting the rules, ignoring the rules, and using judges and the court of public opinion like some master deck.

The left has been playing this version of Corruption the Gathering, for far longer than the right. Unfortunately for them, Trump knows every card in their deck.

Oh. So that makes it okay for the Trump connected contractor to further hose Puerto Rico with 10X inflated rates. Alrighty, then.

Trump can't even sit at the desk without constant babysitter-like supervision. And you believe he has some kind of overwhelming wisdom over others? Come on.

That's completely irrational. We know these people are liars and bullshitters. Trump literally doesn't care if what he says is true as long as it's good for Trump. His mouthpieces lie constantly. What sort of fool would trust what these people say?

Look at their actions. Those are what matter. The actions of these people are absolutely reprehensible.
The "action" of government tends to be words. But go ahead, actually read the Trump immigration EOs, etc. Still nothing white nationalist or hyper-partisan.
That's funny but when I read the immigration ban, I see a lot of racism towards people from the middle east. Especially with those attempted bans of countries that had no act of terrorism in the US but were still claimed as a threat to national security.
What I saw was a list of nations Obama bombed. Which is why Obama correctly listed them as potential problems, putting them in a category to which Trump merely tweaked security.

So what I'm wondering is: do you think Obama's bombings were racist?

I find it fascinating how the Republicans demonize the Democratic presidents as evil criminals, while the Democrats demonize Republicans as evil babies. Same deal with Bush. I've never really understood how one could see a baby as threatening, so I imagine it's some kind of projection.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

You've been drinking the super salty NeverTrump kool-aid.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
