Think the State Department will help? I sure hope so.

Trade deficit increases $100 billion since Trump took office. Highest deficit in history. Budget deficit set to hit almost $1 trillion this year. Square that with his promises.

I’m with you on this one Englebert. Once they’ve paid their debt, convicted felons should have all rights restored, unless the felony involved defrauding the election process or the crime involved use of a firearm.

My guess is they caved to some parent group that felt excluded. Not justifying, but some blame for problems in a school district is borne by the parents, not just the “liberal” public education system.

Ad hominem attacks indicate a lack of knowledge and extreme insecurity on the part of the attacker. AMF.

Nancy don’t play around.

Did you choke on those words?

No, they don’t. It will be a test of leadership.

The polling data paints a pretty convincing case. I don’t agree with all of the other premises. That said, I never assumed Trump was unelectable the first time around. I don’t drink Party kool aid. If Democrats ignore what this guy is saying, we do so at our own peril.

Thank you, Law Man. It’s folks like you and the others you mention who keep me coming back. If we cease to respect each other’s opinions, we gonna have a hard row to hoe keeping our democracy on track.

I’m glad I’m inside your head.

I don’t engage in physical violence or verbal abuse. I just know people who aren’t as reserved as me and would not take kindly to being called a schoolgirl or pathetic or childish or on the mental level of a kindergartner to their face. I’m guessing you don’t have the guts to be so sanctimoniously insulting in face to face situations. I’m glad to be a source of motivation for you. That’s a positive thing.

You must be a big ’ol boy. I know people you talk to them like that face to face would kick your ass.

Again, Sad.

I’m curious. Do you talk to everyone so crassly, or only when you are hiding behind a screen? I can’t imagine you hang out with many people in person who don’t think like you if this is how you treat people face to face. Sad.

Both, but if window shoving was that pervasive, window safety would have to be improved in addition to vigorous prosecution of the shovers.

You implied he was incompetent.

No. I’d say window safety would need to be re-evaluated.

If you don’t think Trump will declare th election rigged if he loses, then it’s you who are delusional. Trump is head of Republican Party, so if he cries foul the party cries foul. I said nothing about you specifically.

Wait and see if he loses. He’ll blame everyone else, and from what I’ve seen you all will be right along with him.

I cited the article mainly to demonstrate that construction spending is in fact dropping, related to an earlier post.

He has a very successful practice spanning 35+ years and says this tax law was about as hastily done as Obamacare was. Probably didn’t even read it. The 1040 is postcard sized as promised, but the schedules which have to be attached have multiplied almost exponentially. Their software company has yet to get it all encoded it’s so screwed up.

It may have been shocking, but it wasn’t close. If he had lost the popular vote and won on the strength of 70000 votes spread over 3 states, I shudder to think of the outcry.

Why am I not surprised by that response. Just like Fearless Leader. If they don’t agree with you, get rid of them.

I have commercial construction customers telling me this. They are not seeing projects coming as in past. Harvey is an outlier. A lot of insurance and FEMA money poured in here to enable that burst. Reuter’s just reported today’s market drop is a result of waning confidence fueled in part by a .6% drop in construction spending in December. Still strongly disagree?
