"If your side wins, America will die. Pure and simple"
Bard, that's laughable. Where did you pick that up? InfoWars? |

The thing about Bard I don't understand is that he seems to have no problem with the $ trillion deficits when they are generated by tax policy but does when they are generated by fiscal spending. The end result is a debt that we pass to the next generations in either case.
I get that the top loading the wealthy might appeal to some. But, historically, nations do not survive when disparities in wealth become too great. We also cannot survive if we carry debt to an unsustainable level.
I fail to see how SWC's side will hasten that. In fact. Debt growth during Obama's last years in office was substantially LESS than the first years of the Trump Administration. Obama inherited spending to counter the effects of the great depression. A huge chunk of the stimulus package was passed under Bush. And, the Bush tax cuts becoming permanent turbo charged those deficits.
Trump inherited a, relatively, good economy and the tax cuts coupled with increased spending did stimulate a period of economic growth that folks like Bard like to quote. But, it just isn't true. That growth was nothing more than a short term stimulus created by borrowed money. Except this time the stimulus went to the wealthy although short term it created jobs (just like the stimulus spending did).
Obama's fiscal legacy will outperform Trump's in the long run.

Trump has proposed cutting the federal budget across the board (except military)
A PARADISE LOST
What things do Detroit, LA, Chicago, Seattle, NYC, Denver, San Francisco and other cities being turned into ****holes around the country that are being overrun by the homeless, drugs, violence and citizens being taxed and fee'd nearly to death?

See if you can guess the makeup of Seattle's city council.
An hour is a long time, but just watching the first 5-10 minutes of this pretty much tells the story. |

coboardhead, great comment.
I have to admit, I'm looking forward to our right wing responses, should they be so bold. |
Easily done.
Smollett wasn't investigated by a special prosecutor for two years at the cost of millions, and, and, and, and, you should know all the numbers by now of what all was involved in the investigation.
Smollett was released as a result of obvious corruption, and nothing more.
So I guess you're trying to equate the dirty state AG with Mueller. 
swc, this is not a response from the right wing. |
No NW. I'm not equating anything. I just think your double standard is noteworthy and shows your partisanship. |
There is no double standard, quick corruption on one side, and a very long, thorough, and expensive investigation on the other. If you want to try to call that a double standard, that's your ignorant problem.
Yes, I am a partisan, towards justice.
And BTW, this has worsened racial tensions, as I knew it would.

Deputy Detained Black Attorney Thinking He Was A Suspect: Complaint
“There is no plausible explanation other than racial bias,” said an attorney representing Rashad James.

| Quote: | An African-American attorney has filed a complaint after he says he was racially profiled and detained by a sheriff’s deputy who thought he was a criminal suspect posing as his legal counsel in a Maryland courthouse.
Rashad James, an attorney for Maryland Legal Aid, filed a complaint with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday requesting an investigation into the March 6 incident involving one of its deputies.
James had just appeared before a Harford County judge and won an expungement for his no-show client when a deputy who was in the courtroom asked to see his identification, according to his attorneys.

Rashad James, an attorney for Maryland Legal Aid, has filed a complaint against the Harford County Sheriff’s Office after he believes he was racially profiled.
James, according to The Washington Post, was not aware that there was a warrant out for his client’s arrest.
“The officer had been present in the courtroom during the hearing, yet addressed Mr. James as the client. Mr. James told the officer that he was the attorney, not the client,” Brown, Goldstein & Levy, the law firm representing James in his case, said in a statement.
James’ attorneys said he provided the deputy with his driver’s license. When that did not satisfy the deputy, he was asked to produce his state bar card or business cards, which James did not have and is not required to carry. The deputy then escorted James to an interview room where he questioned James and made phone calls over 10 minutes before finally allowing him to leave, the law firm said.
“If Mr. James were white, the officer would not have doubted that Mr. James was an attorney, would not have questioned his identity, and certainly would not have detained Mr. James after seeing his driver’s license,” said attorney Andrew D. Freeman of Brown, Goldstein & Levy. “There is no plausible explanation other than racial bias.”
Freeman’s office dubbed the situation “lawyering while black.” That expression has been used to identify incidents of racial prejudice in which white people and police target black people for doing everyday things, including “swimming while black,” “napping while black,” “driving while black,” “BBQing while black,” or in summary, “existing while black.”
A survey conducted by HuffPost last fall found that 54 percent of black Americans said they’ve felt that “others have been suspicious of them based on the color of their skin,” compared to just 6 percent of white people who said they have felt this way. Another recent study found significant black-versus-white disparities in how often drivers were stopped and searched by police.
“The facts of the situation speak for themselves,” James said at a press conference Tuesday, according to The Washington Post, when asked what made him think what happened was because of his race. “I’ve never heard of anyone being mistaken and assumed that they’re not an attorney until proven otherwise.”
I’ve never heard of anyone being mistaken and assumed that they’re not an attorney until proven otherwise.
Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler, in his own statement released Wednesday, said the Office of Professional Standards, which investigates allegations and complaints of deputy misconduct within the sheriff’s department, will be reviewing the matter, adding: “We take all complaints seriously.”
“It is the role of the Office of Professional Standards to fully investigate each claim, surrounding circumstances, witness statements, and other evidence to determine the merit of any accusation,” he said, while expressing concern and disappointment over the apparent release of the deputy’s name before the investigation has been completed.
“If those claims are founded and violations of agency policy are revealed, we will take immediate and appropriate administrative action,” Gahler said. |

Ya que eres de Baja, solo deberíamos hablar español aquí. Es major por el pendejo del sur. |
