Bruce Ohr's wife, Nellie, worked for the firm hired by the Clinton campaign to write the dossier

- Bruce Ohr gave the dossier to the FBI

- The FBI then used the same dossier to spy on the Trump campaign


When he comes to Congress tomorrow, Bruce Ohr has explaining to do

The next part of the FBI/ DOJ cover up

the hypocrisy of liberals astounds me sometimes .

Respecting the flag was Pooh poohed when nfl players protest it . It isn’t a symbol they say and they have the right to do it they say again . (Which they do by the way) you can disrespect it because it isn’t really a symbol , it’s just a flag

But lord help them if the flag isn’t lowered to half staff if a war vet (McCain ) passes away .

Then it’s a symbol and it’s being disrespected

I implore people to investigate McCain. You will find a man that only made it where he was by his father...the very idea of white privilege...because he only made it where he isn’t because of his daddy. That is all before he even went to Vietnam where his own Hanoi POWs tell a very unbecoming story of the man...who would have been dead if not for daddy.

Comparing job numbers in this fashion is the equivalent of comparing skinny people losing weight to fat people. It is a lot easier to go from shit upward. You have to compare recoveries to other recoveries...how did O compare?

Oh really, then when you or another defender of this person posts that his jobs numbers are better than Obamas then you or that person would be off base correct?

Tax cuts have helped unless you believe in coincidence. Tariffs look like they will help in the long run. Reduced regulations.

That 100 per month is more than we ever got from any democrap.

Trickle down has always worked...far better than socialism. Stay focused on wages which have gone up more under Trump than the other guy...plus the tax break for people not like me. I am getting screwed by the tax cuts but perhaps my union will work it out.

I've read all of your other responses to my posts and realized that it's impossible to have any sort of reasonable conversation without being able to agree on a few basic facts. So let's start with your posting here and hopefully we can go from there.

Police
Fire
Military
"Don't grow" farm subsidies
Corporate welfare

Among others, are all based upon a socialist model correct? (forms of public, collective or cooperative ownership) BTW:I've heard the "civic" argument don't waste your time.

NEXT, Let's talk about "trickle down economics"

Can we agree that for every time it's been tried, EVERY TIME! the country ended in recession?

In fact, for the moment, Fuck ole' Sty, let's hear from the creator of the economic theory himself. If you cannot believe him then it's going to be difficult to have this conversation. So, in his own words:

You know, without doing the reseaerch and searching for stats to backup my opion. Common sense and owning a small business tells me trickle down does work. The old saying goes you have to spend mopney to make money.

there isnt a 92 to 8 descrepency sty the MSM is slanted to the left and has been in attack mode since he won the nomination

if you buy the MSM


then you are blind . publishing stories that are known not to be sourced and then turn out to be false isnt reporting the news with who what when and why its making shit up

how come almost no coverage on lynch / clinton meeting fusion GPS steele mccabe , strzok , page rosenstein or ohr . the clinton foundation , the fake dossier , the democratic primary fix , the emails , benghazi fast and furious , the IRS scandal . what did obama mean by flexibility on the open mic or the illegal email server ? not a whole lot of who what when and where going on there

funny how the MSM just brushed over antifa violence . funnt they brush over 4 .1 % growth. i make more money and pay less taxes

far too long the supreme court has made laws instead of interpreting them

HRC is the epitomy of what you said above

Then you can't distinguish differences between "News" and "tabloid/ clickbait" stories. For the record, ANY story about someone that isn't true is a criminal offense, Slander! Make sure that you don't just read a story that interests you and fail to do a follow up cross check, verification of the same. You do it for the team, it's hard to believe that you don't do it yourself. I'll NOT charge you wit this but there are a couple here who deal in this.

Well, I don’t really post job numbers...I prefer the job participation rate.

I also think the economy is far more than any single graphic.

Police, fire, and the military have a socialist aspect, but they are required for the actual tax payers regardless of who is paying.

Farm subsidies and corporate welfare are wrong.

Every time, every economic system has been tried, there have been recessions, collapses, and in some cases recoveries.

Now specifically to the tax cuts, they are in general a good thing. I perfectly understand human nature and how trickle down isn’t perfect...but it is the most fair system out there...Short of actual fair taxation.

I can say this...socialism of some sort has never worked and has been responsible for every true economic collapse in history...our system has been the greatest the world has ever seen.

Extremely poor/misleading argument, find me an article or supporting data that shows where Americans will do those jobs at the same pay and lack of benefits that these other people do.
nothing misleading about it . no one will do a job for less then legal wage and the market sets the wage .

BTW: far be it from me to defend Mrs. Clinton, I don't trust either side, primarily because the history of this country insists that I be extremely cautious about doing such a thing. That said, there's this:
