One of the best things to come from Trump’s election is the fact that it has shown just how corrupt our government and it’s organizations are. If anyone had any doubts before, it’s clear to see now.
Yes, we need a lot more of this. And that doesn't even include the Musk payoffs.

So far, 34 companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.
The complete list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies:
- Evergreen Solar ($25 million)*
- SpectraWatt ($500,000)*
- Solyndra ($535 million)*
- Beacon Power ($43 million)*

The problem begins with the issue of government picking winners and losers in the first place. Venture capitalist firms exist for this very reason, and they choose what to invest in by looking at companies’ business models and deciding if they are worthy. When the government plays venture capitalist, it tends to reward companies that are connected to the policymakers themselves or because it sounds nice to “invest” in green energy."
The Democrats coming up with their “own memo” as some counter to an investigation into their mass corruption just shows what a pathetic joke this group is. How childish and repulsive can you be?
Adam Schiff, the POS who had no interest in reading the memo decides to go create one as some counter? Lol
They’re just a pathetic group and they have no desire for truth. Never have.
But the same group who leaks, prints every anonymous rumor, worshipped the Michael Wolf book and believed and published a piss amazingly doesn’t want this memo released and attacked the credibility of it without reading it.
To be expected.

The liberal way. Not the result I want? Delete it. Can’t let people see what most people really think.
A fun read on the train. Apparently, Bill Kristol tweeted about the collision 13 minutes before the press released it.

George Takei has gone full-on "militant angry homosexual."
It's hilarious.![[jumpingsmile]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/happy/happy0028.r191677.gif "Jumping Smile [jumpingsmile]")
It's hilarious.
No love of Dems here.
But, where do you get AS didn't read memo? How could he object to its contents if not? Since Dems all opposed, clearly they don't agree with its conclusions.
Net, no problem with a Dem version IF it also excludes sources & methods & is approved by the committee as a whole. Pubs shouldn't oppose their version's release on disagreement with conclusions - they'd be as bad as the Dems. I'm for getting it all out.
Nah, that was just wasted exuberance. I've heard strong indications that it will be released today, Sarah Sanders and Gen. Kelly, etc. but nothing 100%. It also seems logical with the 5 day deadline and not waiting until Friday.
Is there any shred of doubt Schiff's memo will leak within the next 6 hours?
Can we get Trump to give a big speech during every NCAA game the Cats play?
Wow! Justice may be finally served, albeit nearly 40 years later.
Christopher Walken was also on the boat that night.
Trump clapping for himself for things that he didn't accomplish is the embodiment of who her is as a person.
Hey, if he gives speeches during every game, that's a lot fewer speeches of his we have to watch. Sounds like a fair trade.
US jobless claims unexpectedly fall as job market strengthens.
First-time claims for state unemployment benefits were slightly lower than anticipated in the most recent week.
Last week marked the 152nd straight week that claims remained below the 300,000 threshold, which is associated with a strong labor market.

Lowe's confirms plans to pay up to $1,000 bonuses.

- Lowe's said it expects the impact of new tax legislation to be positive for its business in 2018.
- The home improvement retailer is giving some of its employees bonuses of up to $1,000.
- Lowe's will also expand its benefits packages in the wake of new tax legislation.

I was referring to the initial day when it was made available. Obviously he knows what’s in it, which is why he is freaking out.
What Schiff wants to do is muddy things up and dominate the coverage and try to make the memo not effective. Here’s the problem with Republicans and the wanting to be self righteous and do everything by the book...Dems don’t do that. You’re fighting with one hand tied behind your back because of these bastards.
Republicans are giving Dems too much time to come up with crap. That’s why you pull the trigger when you can and not be super loud about what you have.
AS had read it the first day, even before the first day. Everyone on the committee read it before it was voted on.
Pubs can't release for five days unless Trump agrees before then & even then Trump can veto release. It's not on Nunes et al.
Lol. Not gonna touch that. Other than lol.
But, there's a thread in which you can discuss this with others. it's in the paddock.
But this thread is not about the politics. Just the coincidence.
Still don't think the memo will be released.
Given the scrambling, I wouldn't be surprised if at this point they agreed to drop the Russia charade if Trump agreed to veto the memo release.

No other group is lied to more than the black community. None. They’re misled by race hustlers who sold out for money like a crooked preacher stuffing his pockets.
Blacks should take a good look at what Dems have done to their communities despite decades of voting for them. Not to mention, they’re voting for a group who is a big backer of Planned Parenthood, which kills off blacks more than anyone and is put in black neighborhoods more than anywhere else.
You’d think they would take a look around and see how gung ho Dems are for Latinos and illegals and they’d see how the party uses people. Black population has basically stayed the same since 1870 with a fluctuation of from 10-12 percent here and there. Hispanics have doubled since 1990 and that’s not even counting illegals. In 1970, Hispanics only made up four percent of the population. They’re like 17 percent and growing.
(White population has decreased by about 26 or 27 percent since 1950. In that same time span, Hispanics only made up two percent)
Trump called it during the election. Dems show up every four years, trying to “jive” and even carrying hot sauce and talking about Beyoncé and then they leave. Cities still look like garbage, crime is high, people still dependent on government.
So many minds have been poisoned and manipulated to fall for the race card and when someone gets off the Dem plantation and blaming whites, their “blackness” is questioned.
There's nothing to gain from a GOP viewpoint from that. Muh Russians has been proven time and again to be nothing but a propaganda leftist witch hunt to incite questions in legitimacy from election results. We can have our cake and eat it too with the memo release.
