    47 percent of Americans pay no income taxes. Interesting they get called free loaders off society.

    The ultra rich have to be defined as the best people given the exorbitant rates they pay.

    You like roads, schools, libraries and when the government maintains those things?

    Yeah, me too.

    Hint: Those are our tax dollars at work.

    You got to pay your taxes. But you should hate doing it because you don't get much for your dollar.

    Taxes are a necessary evil.

    I don't think so. It shut down and is following court supervision. This would preclude it from criminal activity.

    *LOL*

    Robert, do you understand the space/time continuum?

    It was shut down because it was engaging in very uncharitable conduct. Hence, it can no longer engage in such conduct!

    Funny but when I worked on a housing project. the builder paid for the roads and had to hand them over to the city. All the city had to do was keep them in good repair. Are you aware of how roads actually get built?

    You mean the 400+ pages of condemnation that fake exonerated him?

    Me, too; Mueller did a great job of pointing Congress in the right directions for further inquiry. Deranged Donald, a/k/a Bonesuprs J. Stumblebum is in trouble.

    From Napolitano:

    Mueller laid out at least a half-dozen crimes of obstruction committed by Trump -- from asking former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland to write an untruthful letter about the reason for Flynn's chat with Kislyak, to asking Corey Lewandowski and then-former White House Counse lDon McGahn to fire Mueller and McGahn to lie about it, to firing Comey to impede the FBI's investigations, to dangling a pardon in front of Michael Cohen to stay silent, to ordering his aides to hide and delete records.

    The essence of obstruction is deception or diversion -- to prevent the government from finding the truth. To Mueller, the issue was not if Trump committed crimes of obstruction. Rather, it was if Trump could be charged successfully with those crimes.

    Mueller knew that Barr would block an indictment of Trump because Barr has a personal view of obstruction at odds with the statute itself. Barr's view requires that the obstructer has done his obstructing in order to impede the investigation or prosecution of a crime that the obstructer himself has committed. Thus, in this narrow view, because Trump did not commit the crime of conspiracy with the Russians, it was legally impossible for Trump to have obstructed the FBI investigation of that crime.

    The nearly universal view of law enforcement, however, is that the obstruction statute prohibits all attempted self-serving interference with government investigations or proceedings. Thus, as Georgetown Professor Neal Katyal recently pointed out, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was convicted of obstruction for interfering with an investigation of his extramarital affair, even though the affair was lawful.

    Famously, Martha Stewart was convicted of obstruction of an investigation into her alleged insider trading, even though the insider trading charges against her had been dismissed. And a federal appeals court recently upheld the obstruction conviction of a defendant who suborned perjury in order to impede the prosecution of the sister of a childhood friend.

    On obstruction, Barr is wrong.

    So, the dilemma for House Democrats now is whether to utilize Mueller's evidence of obstruction for impeachment. They know from history that impeachment only succeeds if there is a broad, national, bipartisan consensus behind it, no matter the weight of the evidence or presence of sophisticated legal theories.

    They might try to generate that consensus by parading Mueller's witnesses to public hearings, as House Democrats did to Nixon. Yet, when House Republicans did that to Clinton, and then impeached him, they suffered politically.

    The president's job is to enforce federal law. If he had ordered its violation to save innocent life or preserve human freedom, he would have a moral defense. But ordering obstruction to save himself from the consequences of his own behavior is unlawful, defenseless and condemnable.

    I.e. He's a lawless scumbag.
