This is what we make fun of North Korea for, and it's happening here every day. We don't really have any idea to what extent.

Attkisson has been trying her best to keep track. She updates regularly but there have been so many I'm sure she's missed a few.

Imo she's wrong to call them "mistakes". Those paying close enough attention as she is know better. I'm assuming that's just the type of person she is though. Her not wanting to cast accusations without proof and giving her colleagues the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe Obama still has access to her computer and changes “blatant lies” to “mistakes” when she types it.
 
The testimony of Mr. Volker must not have been good for Pencil Neck. Republicans are urging him to release the transcript but for some reason he doesn't seem to be interested in full disclosure as it relates to his "legitimate" inquiry. If and when they decide to stop making a mockery of the process POTUS will give them cooperation. Until that day, they can pound sand.

Exactly right. A few have agreed to testify voluntarily with no restrictions on their testimony being made public, yet Schiff keeps issuing 11th hour subpoenas to purposely put restrictions on their testimony.
 
I'm pretty sure this b-tch principal is LBGT...



Can't we all just get along...

When it comes to the Middle East, the definition of insanity comes to mind. "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

Fact is that place was a hellhole long before the US got involved and will be long after. The question I always ask is just when is going to be the right time to get out? Its such a complex situation that has gone on for hundreds to thousands of years. Deep down every single person knows there is no solution to it.
 
They literally cropped the crowd and background out of the video. They also used it in several segments for three days. They knew exactly what they were doing.


"....after questions were raised about its accuracy..."

They can't even come fully clean. They have to parse words.

Why not state exactly what it was, a video from a Kentucky gun range, and use the word "sorry" or "apologize"?
 
DANG

How does it feel DemiSocialcraticCommunists

After YEARS of taking it...while your resident DemiSocialcraticCommunusts get it back.

How many assults on President Trump did you laugh off??? Huh? It was not so bad...

NOW you knew how it felt but NEVER thought anyone would do it back.

What do you say now. It doesn't only work one way....

Is it horrific yet? Does President Trump need to immediately denounce it? Did you?????????

Where's the witch now that had President Trump's head in her hand? How about that scum that wished the horrible on his children? Huh? Where are you???

Yep. Absolutely no one saw this coming.


Im no economic expert, but ya anyone who didnt see this coming dont know a single thing about economics. To give a very simple example.

Say Target has $120 bucks to spend per hour for employees. Say minimum wage is $10 and all employees are on minimum wage. Okay that means Target can have 12 employees working per hour. If you raise the minimum wage to $15 a hour, guess what. Target isn't all of a sudden going to have $180 to spend per hour for its employees, its still just $120. So what Target is going to do is just have 8 people working per hour instead of 12, open up a few more self checkout lanes and be all good. Im sorry but you'd have to be a freaking idiot to think, well all of a sudden Target will be spending $180 per hour on employees.

The thing that is even worse about all of this, the vast majority of people who back this crap, are the same people who are all about supporting your mom and pop shops around town. Guess what, this minimum wage increase doesn't hurt the Targets, Walmarts, McDonalds and so on, all those can invest in automation. Its the mom and pop shops that cant afford automation and need 4 employees working at a time. They were barely making any money paying $40 a hour to their employees, now they need to somehow afford $60 a hour to afford their employees. Guess what, many cant and they will fold.

I've stated before that a $15 min. wage is all well and good if you're Amazon, UPS, or some other big behemoth, or if you're a startup and build your business model around it. But to tell a restaurant Franchisee who employs upwards of 18K people in all of its restaurants, that all of a sudden you have to raise every one of their wages, then it becomes a burden. Some of those stores get shuttered as a result or employees get let go and you work with skeleton crews. I know first hand what would happen.

The economy and low unemployment is kicking wages up more and more on it's own without legislation. competition for employees is more fierce and wages tick up accordingly. legislating a certain minimum wage will only cause the costs of everything to be raised accordingly thus negating the raise.

We have fallen into the same trap the other previous super powers fell into with the middle east. History truly does repeat itself, only problem is, we still think that this time will be different. Socialism/communism anyone?
