She ate her benefits. Benefits, does that not just make you angry. Benefits should be earned not entitled. She should pay us for irreparable damage for our eyes.

And they say Trump should get off twitter...
Next week if it dies down they will talk about Trumps collusion with Russia during the election and the dumb ass morons on the left and this site will lockstep and believe every word.
Yup, it's the NFL's fault for condoning this stupidity. They deserve no viewers. I'll do my part.
So what is stopping the feds from passing or working to a balanced budget?
Having a balanced budget and having to work within one do you think that they understand that there is less liability on the state when all of their citizens are covered, thus financially more fiscally responsible?
All states get money from the feds. MA is actually one of those states that gets fewer $$ from the feds than they send to the feds. Typical of most blue states. Red states on the other hand are mostly parasites in that fashion receiving more federal $$ than send.
But what does any of that have to do with the fact that Obamacare was fashioned after the MA plan?
MA doesn't get to bill the Feds if there are cost overruns in their plan.
I'm all for a balanced budget. That's why I think it's totally irresponsible to be even thinking about a tax cut for billionaires. It's a shame that nobody even talks about it any more. None of them have the balls to make the tough choices and do what is necessary to get there.

It's like they don't even attempt to make sense anymore. Just throwing crap to the wall to appease their hysterical base.
"Trump plans to unleash dinosaurs from sleeper cell...in Russia."
"White nationalists and Nazis contact Zorp in space. Look to communicate with undocumented space aliens to create second holocaust using Russian super soakers and NERF guns."
So who with whom are you going to negotiate these peace talks?
Pakistan doesn't control the northern half of its own country. Likewise there is virtually no government control in over 90% of Afghanistan. We already have very close ties to both nations. And how do you suggest India get to Afghanistan? I don't see the Pakistanis or Iranians giving that access.
We HAVE crossed the border. Remember, Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan. We can control whatever specific area we wish to control as long as we want to keep a military presence in that area but as soon as they leave that control is gone.
Like you wrote, we've spent 15 years and 3/4 of a trillion $ there and accomplished very little. Russia spent over a decade there and accomplished very little. What makes you think that if Pakistan can't control half of their own country that they would be able to control even a small part of Afghanistan?
Peace requires that both or in this case, all parties want it.
The only thing we've accomplished in Afghanistan is to make heroin cheap here at home for all the junkies.
We need to either:
1) get out of the me altogether. Or
2) drop nukes/do whatever it takes to eliminate any opposition there.
Half measure are getting us nowhere. Since we know we dont have the stomach for #2, #1 is really the only option.

But isn't that exactly what the right did to Obama for 8 years?
Replace Russia with the Birther issue...how many years did Trump hold onto that one?
Paybacks are hell, enjoy the ride.
Thanks for being the Al Qaeda insurgent we need.
Good luck to you.
When he gets to 1,000 points maybe he'll send Brady a checkCopy and pasting wikipedia is not scoring points
Loved trump quoting exactly what he said on all 4 statements about Charlottesville. Then calling out antifa by name.
Guarantee, if you attack Barack obama to trumps first couple statements and read theM to any idiot calling trump a racist,they would say it's a great speech and nothing racist at all.

You're such a fool. Republicans and democrats are going to hate on each other. It's just a fact.
What you didn't have with obama was the press being an extension of the Republican Party. And that's pretty much all that matters.
But to your point, no not all republicans spent 8 years bashing obama. Hell, they basically caved to his every want and desire. For you even attempting to equate the treatment of obama and trump just shows that you're xo pelted fake and dishonest.
Glad to hear it. Trump has to be the one to shine a light on antifa. Media won't. Democrats won't. Repukes won't. Jeff Sessions apparently won't.
We elected Trump to FIGHT these bastards. Total War.
Sessions needs to get a few felony rioting convictions. Asap
Now CNN is blaming Antifa's violence on Trump. The chyron says it all.
I think police should treat Antifa like this all the time:
maybe
OR -- it could just be that the constant "lockstep" propaganda is having the intended effect
If I were from another planet and arrived here
and listened to BLM
I'd assume that they DID speak for all blacks, latinos and -- as they say -- queer folk
Which is just not true of course
BUT when you have so many groups being amplified by the media -- almost 24/7 --- and they're ALWAYS pretending as if they have ONE VOICE and ONE VISION TOGETHER and the rest of it
You can't be surprised when / if some people start to think that a Marxist / antifamily group like BLM actually DOES speak for all minorities
That's a BIG PART of what they're shooting for --- sudden authority that's absolute in nature
With no room for resistance -- or even questioning
Or MAYBE HES A RACIST -- I really don't know him so -- there's a chance both things are right I suppose
psssst.......why don't we ask him????
I didn't watch Trumps speech..but cnn is in an absolute meltdown. They panel is attempting to give a psychoanalysis. If Trump doesn't do anything in his presidency the fake news thing is one if the best things I've ever seen in my life.
All day, every day, the left pushes collectivism on all fronts. Whites are privileged and must atone. "Uneducated straight white males and their white supremacy ruined the country." Identity politics is non-stop. Republicans must be stopped or "blacks will end up back in chains." "Trump supporters are nazis look what one guy did last week."
Yes - this is the Marxist voice and tactic
They create groups who didn't previously have a political identity or consciousness and then "rub raw the sores of discontent" (Alinsky) so that they'll be GALVANIZED .... to help spearhead social change
And since Marxist thought (and that includes the original basic Socialist creed) DOES NOT ACCEPT the notion of 'good or bad' / 'right or wrong'........it becomes easy over time to have those newly minted Social Battering Rams going from rock throwing anarchists ...... to mass murderers
I've seen the technique referred to as "Vanguard Political Groups"
I think the key is to have honest conversations - don't fall for the current PSY OPS that are being waged
Turn off your TV's more often (assuming you have them)
and let's hope that spirited, intellectually honest "traditional liberals" are willing to call out their highjacked party as R's and Libertarians also help promote rational conversions
and I LOVE me some football ..... but maybe it's time we take a damn break from following some of these events and leagues that insist on becoming political outlets as well
Goodness what a bunch of asshattery in the media
I don't have TV but just seeing their sneering faces online is almost enough for me to bazooka barf
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO – Black Chicagoans Say Leave Washington Statue Alone
Inner-city blacks are rejecting calls from a Chicago pastor to tear down a local George Washington monument and change the name of Washington Park. For one community organizer, the attacks against our nation’s historical monuments are an attempt to manufacture a race war that won’t help anyone in the black community.
In the fallout of the Charlottesville, VA, rally over the removal of a Robert E. Lee monument, Bishop James Dukes, a pastor, is calling for the name of Chicago’s Washington Park to change and for the removal of the park’s monument to our nation’s first president, George Washington.
Chicago community organizer Paul McKinley invited my co-producer, Andrew Marcus, and me on a tour of the south side neighborhood surrounding Washington Park to hear from him and other residents their feelings on the media manufactured debate to erase our nation’s history.
McKinley, along with area residents we encountered during our shoot, disagree with Dukes and say George Washington should be left alone.
McKinley explains how the Charlottesville debacle was a “bait and switch” designed by Democrat and communist revolutionary forces to distract the people from what is really going on in the community.
McKinley says, “While they’re talking about changing the name, our community needs jobs, contracts, and opportunities. This is a way to stop talking about black folks [not] working. Black folks … got no contracts. Our schools [are] being closed down. Our houses [are] being boarded up. But you want to talk about a statue.”
“The Democrat Party has proven it cannot feed the African American community. So they’re pretending that, okay, we’re going to fight your fight about something that’s got something to do with racism,” he adds.
At the statue, a group of local residents having a picnic after work chimed in on the issue.
After establishing that, George Washington was, in fact, a slave owner, they told us the statue should stand.
One of the residents informed the group of the Dukes calls to potentially replace President George Washington’s monument with a statue of Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington. To which another replied, “Let it stay up there. What are they taking it down for? Harold Washington ain’t gonna change nothing if you put his statue up there. Leave that statue alone. Let George Washington stay up there.”
Another woman on the scene followed us back to our truck to make the point: “The big issue right now needs to be people trying to survive out here because that statue ain’t going to prove no point … this statue’s been sitting there for so long that should be the last thing on people’s mind is that statue!”
In agreement with the local residents, McKinley pointed out the despair and acres of vacant, undeveloped land surrounding the park.
“Here’s a block, here, where you only got two houses on the whole block. Both sides of the street,” he says. “Let’s go two blocks from the park….just vacant land….the Democrats [have done] nothing for black folks in the black neighborhood. They get the money from Washington, DC, to do the development in the community and they don’t do nothing.”
“You think these people walking around here [are] concerned about whose name is on the park and they don’t have no livelihood in their community?” he continues.
McKinley closed by telling us, “The majority of black folks feel like the people that you were [just] talking to. Majority of them feel like this is a game. This is garbage. It ain’t real. Y’all lying. This ain’t on nothing. That’s how the majority of black people feel.”
