This has been covered here before. It has become RS's hobby to pretend that Donald didn't say what he said RE: "good people on both sides." Just ignore it, he's trolling.

Maybe Trump should follow BO's lead and sick the IRS on them. Edit: Left didn't see much a problem with using the IRS as a weapon against your political enemies. Not exactly leading by example but hey, they're cool with it. (disclaimer: I've been trying to ignore politics here for some time. Looks to be the usual going on. The homeless suspension was CLASSIC babs. Totally saw that coming. Well, with the warning of course.)




Let's see what she does about AMS calling RS a troll. Heck I will probably be the one in the penalty box somehow for it.

Well, since I'm one of the people RS "lost his English comprehension" for on this exact topic, I don't expect to punish Romes for much of anything. Unless you'd like me to suspend RS for trolling as well.

Yeah, you probably would. Lol.

I believe you can say someone is trolling. IE: "ams constantly trolls", whether true or false (in this case, obviously true). However, you can't call someone a troll, IE: "ams is a troll". Replace "ams" with a different username, just first name I thought up.

I didn't think Romes was actually serious when he posted a YT link of The Young Turks, which is why I didn't respond to it.

Quoting, so we don't lose precedent of being allowed to say someone else has no English/reading comprehension.*

ams288 is part of a protected class of people because he is
anti-Trump


However, I'm fairly certain someone has been suspended in the past for calling someone gullible.

lol @ the faux rightie outrage at me saying RS was trolling when he said the exact same thing about me like 3 days ago.

And I do regret saying trolling. I think the word I was looking for was "gaslighting" in regards to his constant denial about Donald not saying what he said about "good people on both sides."

Seems to be skating around technicalities of rules with intent of being an insult without necessarily qualifiying. For example, think it would be technically ok to say ams is using an idiotic thought process but not to call him an idiot.

Oh, you mean the national police of the U.S. that was too chicken even to step foot on remote sovereign American land and preserve a disastrous crime scene

"For each day of the past two weeks, TIME has visited the American consulate in Benghazi where the ambassador and three others were killed on Sept. 11th. And with the passing of every day, people cart off more and more evidence and sensitive information that couldendanger the lives of Americans still in Libya, and impair the FBI investigation into the attack just now getting underway.

"After 23 days, Libyan authorities finally cordoned off the consulate Thursday and prohibited people from entering it as American investigators made their first brief visit to the site. For weeks, Washington has said it was too dangerous to send FBI agents to Benghazi. But now, they may be too late to piece together the clues to the attack. A number of Libyans and foreigners have visited the compound, according to the gardener Idris Muhammad Juma’a. “Every day people come and look around,” Idris told TIME, sitting in a plastic chair under a palm tree on Tuesday. “The other day some Turks came and took a big painting.”

"But it is not the disappearance of paintings that should disturb American investigators and intelligence officials. Large white boards listing names and numbers of U.S. military and diplomatic installations abroad have vanished. Documents with detailed accounts of previous attacks against the consulate have disappeared as well. “It’s not our job to stop people from taking things,” Idris says. “We are just gardeners.”--Time Magazine

Hey, here's something I'm not understanding....

People are acting like the latest unemployment and stock market numbers are a big deal, and praising Trump for it, and even Trump is making a big deal about it.

But this is a trend that's been going on since almost the end of the Bush administration, so I don't get it. Why are they excited? The numbers have been trending that way for almost a decade. Just seems like a non-newsworthy issue to me.

Bush and Obama promoted fake numbers. Even Trump admitted it. Now that Trump is promoting real numbers, Real Americans are happy. Real Americans don't question their leader. Are you a Real American? Do you have the hat to prove it?

Not a terrible idea, but there is nothing to repay to SS. Would you rather have that money sitting in an account earning nothing or invested in bonds?

What the tax proposal does is not put money in the pockets of the wealthiest Americans, but rather takes less money out of those pockets. It's that difference that the left just doesn't understand.

You obviously didn't read the article. The younger Bush specifically said he did not vote for HRC. But the overall point of the two Bushes being unhappy that DJT is President shines through.

What the tax proposal does do is take money out of some middle class Americans' pockets in order to "take less money" out of the pockets of the wealthiest Americans.

It will be interesting to see what they can pass, as this bill is deeply unpopular and already has some GOP congressmen voting no due to the elimination of the SALT deduction that will hammer the middle class.

Brazille said around the time Hillary collapsed
into the van on 9/11, her whole campaign had
such an 'odor of defeat' about it that she
seriously considered replacing Hillary with
Joe Biden. Which was within her power to do.

Good thing she didn't try, she'd be pushing up
daises with Vince Foster and others who got
in the way of what her Queenship wanted. You don't
cross Hillary and live to tell about it..

Fact check: it was NOT within Brazile's power to do. Sorry EB, you're peddling fake news.

She could have tried, but the Clinton campaign would have had veto power over the move. So no, it never would have happened.

I like Donna Brazile, but it's very clear her book is self-serving revisionist history.

No, it's fox news, wsj, and others, not just msm. Flying Ernie is Goin down in flames.

Speaking of needtoimpeach, it's being paid for by the billionaire guy in the commercials, and he's deadly sincere. $10 million br, asking nothing of people except to sign up so their names can be included when trying to move Congress on it. I signed up day 1, because I think he's right. And there's no money solicitation, no spam, just a guy putting his money where his mouth is. I suggest those who haven't, go do it.

You and AZD both have some idea that there's a very narrow, very conservative path, marched in lockstep, in order to be considered Republican. Maybe in your dreams. Or you've been fooled into thinking political tactics equate to single-minded politics.

The GOP is so weak and unhealthy precisely because you and those like you believe the fiction. When you serve only about 1/4 of your constituency, (Gallup shows as of Oct. 2017 only 24% of eligible voters identify as Republican), you're not going to accomplish much of anything.

Republicans used to know that. But they decided to go with overbearing bully-boy tactics instead of collaboration more than a decade ago, (see:Hastert rule), and so here we are. A joke of no successful legislation and an approval rating that makes Trump look good.

It will take an upset to turn it around. Me I'm in the "vote them ALL out" camp at this point.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Twitter officially expands its character count from 140 to 280 starting today.

I bet Trump is excited about that!

Virginias governors race: looking good for the Dems.

Northam is over performing big time in the early returns.

Maybe Donald is exactly as toxic for downballot GOP candidates as it appears he is.

It's a bloodbath for the GOP in Virginia.

My thoughts and prayers go out to them...

What the tax proposal does do is take money out of some middle class Americans' pockets in order to "take less money" out of the pockets of the wealthiest Americans.

It will be interesting to see what they can pass, as this bill is deeply unpopular and already has some GOP congressmen voting no due to the elimination of the SALT deduction that will hammer the middle class.



I don't think you have much to worry about. Even right leaning Republican Senators from high tax states like mine (NY) will vote against the Trump tax plan, as it will disproportionally hurt NY State residents. And since he has the razor thin Republican Senate margin, a few Repubs that are against him are enough to kill any bill, as no Dem will vote with him.

Are there any Republican Senators from high tax states? NY, NJ, Cali all have Democratic Senators. Not sure what other states are considered high tax?
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Trump's deranged populist movement may finally be bearing the first of the fruit it's sowed. Still -- in the long run, it's early.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
