  1. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/27/democrats-began-sorting-wheat-from-chaff-beto-was-chaff The piece is an assessment of all the candidates but headline is "Beto was chaff" Plus this gem: Next to Warren, some of the other candidates seemed deflated, even juvenile. Former congressman and onetime Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke delivered canned, non-specific answers that seemed passionless and rehearsed. He had the under-slept, over-anxious aura of a college kid who had stayed up all night cramming for an exam. Im a big Beto fan but afraid he's not going to be able to change the narrative around his campaign. That debate, on the whole, was not good for him. Loved Liz Warren. Everything she is, self made, smart, challenge to the status quo, anti corruption is the perfect response to Trump. I wish we could just crown her the nominee and get on to taking down Trump.
  2. I try to avoid bilderberg/Illuminati like conspiracies but the cover up of this is bizzare. And there's clearly something to the alleged crimes. There's something there. It's not pizza gate.
  3. Should we tell him about World War II?
  4. It's different than the bank bailout. Theres not currently a systemic risk of failure for one, at least for noe. It just seems like a half baked proposal.
  5. What's the plan going forward? We forgive $1.6 trillion in debt every few years?
  6. I'm not going to engage with this. Read his plan. Read what I said. None of what I said should be controversial unless you're looking for a fight.
  7. Isn't his proposal forward looking? Between paying for something or not paying for something, I like paying for something. We should provide top medical care, including mental health care, to all veterans. Period. We should generally fund government expenditures through taxes.
  8. What did I do? I'm saying it's nice to actually pay for something instead of spending trillion of dollars on wars and veterans care from those wars, through deficit spending.
  9. Better than paying for veterans car with debt/future taxes.
  10. Never forget. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
  11. I think it was confirmed that we told Russia who told the Syrians.
  12. Just a reminder as we're about to go to war, we don't really have a Secretary of Defense and the guy filling that seat is straight from the military industrial complex. And apparently the Pentagon is the one urging caution here. We're so fucked.
  13. You could have a 100% tax rate and people would still work too. Laffer is wrong in theory and application. And wasnt his theory anyway.
  14. Do those drones really cost $131 million? Holy shit.
  15. The thing is, the Laffer curve is nothing new and was nothing new when Laffer drew it on a napkin. Anyone with basic understanding of economics and fiscal policy knew that at certain point higher tax rates mean less revenue. It's like taking credit for 2+2=4. What Laffer did was weaponized the concept as a political tool to justify tax cuts at any rate. He's been proven wrong time and time again. Tax cuts, from the federal rates and probably those in every state in effect today, DO NOT pay for themselves. Laffer is a fake economist and a fraud. It is fitting the con man President is awarding him the highest civilian honor.
  16. That would be cruel to the Liberians. A majority of Alabamans deserve this. We would provide a relocation program for Bamachick and other decent people.
  17. Can we just build a fucking wall around Alabama and cram all these dispicable pieces of shit in there and be done with it? Let them make the Dotard their King.
  18. I got a PK original for Father's day based on Franklin's book. Did some Ribeyes and tried a reverse sear smoking first with a log dividing the hot and cool zones (over Franklin's objection, co-author Jordan McKay dubbed this the "Franklin Formation" in the book). Did a full chimney to build up the fire for the sear and combined with the fat drippings, things got a little out of control. Before then though it was incredibly hot, burning around 800 degrees. Really excited about this thing and love the buy it for life cast aluminum design. What have others been doing with theirs?
  19. Apology video coming in 24-48 hours. This guy sucks.
  20. I think I did this right: Michael Bennet (D) Joe Biden (D) 1 Bill de Blasio (D) Cory Booker (D) 2 Steve Bullock (D) Pete Buttigieg (D) 5 Julián Castro (D) + 2 = 2 John Delaney (D) Tulsi Gabbard (D) Kirsten Gillibrand (D) Mike Gravel (D) Kamala Harris (D) 2 + 1 = 3 John Hickenlooper (D) Jay Inslee (D) 2 Amy Klobuchar (D) 2 Wayne Messam (D)  Seth Moulton (D) +1=1 Beto O'Rourke (D) 5 + 3 = 8 Tim Ryan (D) Bernie Sanders (D) Eric Swalwell (D) Elizabeth Warren (D) 6 + 3 = 9 Marianne Williamson (D) Andrew Yang (D) +1=1
  21. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/trump-vows-mass-immigration-arrests-removals-of-millions-of-illegal-aliens-starting-next-week/2019/06/17/4e366f5e-916d-11e9-aadb-74e6b2b46f6a_story.html Chances he'll be using boxcar trains to transport the detainees to camps? Trump and Republicans will say they're just enforcing the law. But the law is broken becuse of the faaIlure of our government, much of the failure rests with Trump. Instead of working with Democrats to solve the broken laws and policies, Trump is undertaking cruel and inhumane policies that will be remembered by history alongside the trail of years and Japanese internment. It did not have to be this way. Schumer offered him his wall in exchange for permanent status for DACA recipients. Trump walked away. This is 100% on him.
  22. Agree with the Sloppiness suggesting the Saudis. This reminds me of the Khashoggi mess. Especially the 8 guys on the boat and attempts to crate corroborating evidence.
  23. Hard to guess but this from the Dotard basically confirms that it was NOT Iran: In an interview on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” program, Trump said, referring to the Central Command video: “Well, Iran did do it, and you know they did it because you saw the boat.” He added: “I guess one of the mines didn’t explode, and it’s probably got essentially Iran written all over it. And you saw the boat at night, trying to take the mine off and successfully took the mine off the boat. And that was exposed. That was their boat. That was them, and they didn’t want the evidence left behind.”
  24. Texas gonna Texas. You got Danny Goeb as your lt governor. Are you really surprised Ted Cruz is still senator? Beto would have been an outstanding Senator.
  25. And he was only able to get that crowd by disguising the venue as a Luby's.
