    I agree. Trying to blame this budget mess on Trump is another loser for the DP. The party bosses need to fire their advisors.

    Common law indicates that the president cannot take a pool cue to a judge's head, or something on that order, but nothing stops the president from speaking his mind from the bully pulpit. That's long tradition. No limits on that.

    They are very desperate.

    "There was one big issue on the table when the Democratic candidates met for their debate at Saint Anselm College here on Friday: Was anyone on the stage capable of defeating a newly emboldened President Donald Trump?

    There was no simple answer, but Tom Steyer, the billionaire businessman, put the issue in stark terms, warning that, after the events of the past week, there is now a "very real threat" that the president will be reelected. "Who can go toe-to-toe with Mr. Trump?" he asked. "Who can take down Mr. Trump?"

    Yes, we do not elect Presidents to shut up and go along with the corrupt practices of the other branches.

    So you have an investigation thats in search of a crime ? You cant make that up with a team of writers. What is Hunter Bindens crime ? its a very honest question. What is the crime ?

    So "nobody knows" if their is a crime with Hunter Biden, "but their is good reason to believe that a crime has been committed", But with Ivanka we need to point out what is illegal ? Jebus on a stick man, could you be more hypocritical ?

    but Im sure your going to ssay their is no "there there" when it comes to Ivanks

    No, you responded like you did because you cant debate what I said.

    Did all of the US government agencies tasked with investigating whether Russia interfered in our elections say that they did ? Simple yes/no

    Gabbard Tyson might be able to knock some sense into the corrupt collapsing Democrat establishment.

    "Democrats came out of Iowa splintered and demoralized, and Friday's debate accentuated both the attributes each of the leading Democrats is offering and the limits of their appeal.

    The debate plowed familiar ground, but there was an edge to it that was different from those of the recent past. Trump's acquittal in the Senate impeachment trial, fresh reports emphasizing a strong economy and a new poll showing Trump's approval at the highest point of his presidency only underscored the Democrats' current plight."

    Um yeah that’s the point of an investigation, to search for a crime. It’s the opposite of what you all did with the Russian “conspiracy” — you had the crime, but the investigation, which uncovered it was a hoax

    Now we are learning that the Jury Foreman is an anti-Trump activist and spoke out to the press about this. Talk about a mistrial waiting to happen. This may have to go back to square #1.

    Some bills have 'poison pills' embedded:

    "H.R. 1: For the People Act

    The For the People Act was House Democrats’ first major legislative package introduced in the new Congress. The bill, which passed in March, features a hodgepodge of policies that the party promoted throughout the 2018 midterm campaign to help secure elections from foreign interference and make them more accessible to voters.

    The package aims to require states to provide an online option for voter registration and allow voters to register the same day they go to the polls. It would also require states to automatically register citizens who don’t register themselves.

    To protect elections from any foreign meddling, the bill mandates that states use paper ballots and that the Department of Homeland Security evaluate threats to election systems 180 days prior to an election and inform states of their conclusions.

    The bill includes campaign finance and ethics reform measures, including mandating presidential candidates release their tax returns."


    https://thehill.com/homenews/senate...lative-priorities-being-held-up-in-the-senate

    This is interesting:

    "When the Republicans controlled the House and Senate in 2017 and 2018, the House passed 991 bills, including 284 that became law. The Senate did not approve 707 of those bills..."


    The complete article is worth reading:

    The House appropriated revenue for specific purposes....They'll rethink that policy if they KNOW Trump won't adhere to their requirements...

    I'm sure some of them do have what you call "poison pills".... And those can debated on the Senate Floor and either modified or voted down.

    You say the Senate did not "approve" of 707 of the bills from '17 and '18... Was that the full Senate or 1 "gentleman" from Kentucky making that call??

    You have to know once Trump is gone, the R's are going to be all in on future candidates releasing their tax returns...

    Well, if you're going to claim mystical mind-reading abilities and flat make crap up, we can't have a rational discussion.

    Not what I say. It's what the Factcheck article says.

    "You have to know once Trump is gone, the R's are going to be all in on future candidates releasing their tax returns..."


    No, I don't have to know that.

    My money is on: As soon as Trump is gone, Democrats will drop the idea.

    But yours was a good article too... I read that before I posted from the other one on the House bills... And I see you don't know the answer to my question about how the Senate didn't approve the House bills... No worries... It was probably some combination of Mitchy and votes, but that would be good information to know.

    That's a bet I would take.... if we knew each other personally...

    The ONLY good thing about a Donald Trump is he's pointed out a lot of holes in our system of government that need to be plugged... and somebody's keeping track....

    History will have no problem explaining how This President
    is eminently qualified to state his opinion as to " Justice "
    and fair play.Juries have been known to become rigged.
    Like the Trial of the Century.The O.J. Trial.
    Jurors were overheard the weekend leading to Mondays.
    Verdict.Which got postponed due to a request for additional
    evidence.O.J. Knew what those Jurors had already decided.
    There was a snitch working at the Sequestered Hotel the Jurors
    were staying at.

    Don't think the left has the high ground here after the fake peepee tape investigation. You accused Ivanka but didn't specify a crime. Phony much? Hell, the left had an impeachment and argued that no crime needed to be committed to impeach. You folks need to get over yourselves.

    IOW, you admit that Trump has only spent revenue appropriated by the House.
    So, tell me, why haven't these deficit fighting Democrat pols in the House passed a deficit reducing budget? I bet you know. ;-)

    "The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure."

    Steele was the top Russian expert in MI6. He had various Russian contacts in and out of government...I suspect including one asset extremely close to Putin himself. There was scarcely any mention of his dossier until AFTER the election, with the BuzzFeed publication in early January 2017. Roughly ten days after that, the Russian police arrested three cyber warfare specialists (two in military intelligence; one a consultant from Karspersky) on charges of treason against the Russian State, for passing classified material to western intelligence agencies.
