QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 09:10 PM) Corporate tax rate at 15% and getting rid of the over 50 enployees mandate would boom the economy like I've never seen in my adult life. That over 50 employee mandate is making the poor waaaaaaaay poorer. That kind of s*** bothers me big time. That's probably my biggest gripe with The ACA. Sure they got coverage but now they can't work full time anywhere. Some of that is fair, at least in theory. Unemployment just doesn't seem like the major issue impacting our economy yet he ACA's biggest weakness is lack of jobs? If unemployment is truly our biggest problem, my problem with Trump is their insistence on focusing on industries that show very little if any growth because of loyalty to certain businesses. Their obsession with coal shows a lack of actual desire to grow the job market. The us has become a technological leader and that is the source of great growth IMO. Yet we are ignoring it to try and spin up 1950 again.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 12:41 AM) What's a nice way of Fox News to put it, to recite quotes from Congres(wo)man and that FBI director? Save me the fratboy way of argumentation with the distracting and likening me to Fox News. I swear the same people who rip on greg for bringing up Hillary and Chelsea all the time can't type a paragraph towards someone they don't agree with without calling them Fox News, Breitbart or the President himself. Keep it together. Show me criminal statue on Trump. It's not there. The Dems and media will keep looking but this will be a year very shortly and with 500 unsourced leaks, a media spectacle and two administrations pursue it but we have nothing. So Obama Admin shouldn't be held to the same standards as Trump because they're no longer in office? I don't get it. Is being held accountable for transgressions of election fraud only applicable to the victors? And again with the Fox News. You make fun of Trump for the fakes news stuff but you have your own replica of what he does. Anytime he disagrees with something he says fake news (he may be right wrong), anytime you disagree with something you say fox news (you may be right or wrong). You both write off the opposing opinion. You're both narrow-minded. Where have you been? I've said Fox News twice, and disagreed with hundreds of items in this thread. I did appreciate the "fratboy" insult though, very creative. The sitting president committed a felony and we are still being told but what about Obama. The sitting. Presidents team had numerous and at times unreported contact with Russians who were actively (according to Comey) interfering in our election. Excuse me if that seems different than anything Bill clinton did on a tarmac.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Reason #6000 why I'll never console a down on OSU happenings from Rock, they are about to hire Chris Holtmann from Butler who is both very good and seem d unlikely to ever leave that incredibly close knit family culture there. Fair enough. this is much better of a target but still underwhelming to most of the fanbase. Head faking with McDermott makes this look like a good hire but I was still holding out hope for Donovan -
QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 07:26 PM) I don't like Trump but I want him to be able to get to work being President without all this baggage. Some of his ideas are bold and I'd like to see him get his shot. But it's not a good thing for America if the deck is stacked against the President, no matter who it is. Trump's gotta do his part and shut up about it too. What ideas? Which ones are good for the country? His policies of tax benefits for the ultra rich and continued pillaging of the lower and middle class are bold I guess. And I dont see how anything is stacked against him. He has the house and the senate. He has the ability to rip off executive order after executive order. But instead he's doing next to nothing and having signing ceremonies for memos. He's playing golf, talking about the election and not doing his job. How can anyone get behind that?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 06:32 PM) Comey went to sessions and told him to never leave him alone with Trump again after the "I hope" meeting. I don't know how you walk away from 2 1/2 hours of testimony about Trump's inappropriate behavior with maybe two minutes spent on Lynch with the idea that Comey wasn't really bothered by Trump and the whole infestation is bs and should be ended anyway but Lynch is the big story here. Also Sessions was implicated in having inappropriate contact with the Russians. but yeah, someone who isnt in their job in the government is the big story. Fox News spins again

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 06:13 PM) The people in Congress who investigate it - Waters - "There's no evidence of collusion." Feinstein - "I haven't seen any evidence." Comey on the NYT piece that started the conspiracy - "almost entirely wrong." Thats a nice way for Fox news to put it, however he called the article wrong but confirmed that Russia actively influenced the election, confirmed directly that two people associated with Trump and his team were personally in contact with Russia and also that his team was under investigation. He also had MORE information on that subject that could not be discussed in the open hearing. Thats several pieces of direct evidence pointing at the Trump team and at Trump himself. He also revealed MORE than enough direct evidence of obstruction of justice which an amateaur prosecutor could bring to trial.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 04:27 PM) Lynch's behavior was out of line, though clearly, asking to call something a "matter" isn't at nearly the level as asking to have an investigation go away entirely. That said, it wasn't the subject of the hearing really, and only came up as a topic because some Republicans were defending the "team" by trying to distract. Calling something a matter instead of an investigation doesnt change what it was and what it is. And what it was today was an attempt by the republican shills to try and distract from the fact the sitting president committed a felony while in offce.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 02:05 PM) There's also a difference in that the Clinton case is about what Comey chose to do and when, and this is about what Trump did and said more than about Comey himself. Let's not confuse Greg, he's rolling

Fox news has done a good job of focusing their crazies on Clinton again

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 11:54 AM) Woj said Mike Brown may be a candidate. Not sure that's much better either. AT this point, come up with any horrific candidate that makes no sense, and he's probably being interviewed. -
QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 11:41 AM) I can't believe we in AZ continue to elect McCain. I'm not sure he understands what is being investigated. Pretty sure he had a stroke right in the middle of his questions. Yikes

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 11:31 AM) This is why Whitman knocked it out of the park on his two hires for basketball and football. He had his guy in place BEFORE firing the current coach. They may not pan out on the field/court, but I like that he was quiet about it and got it done before having to go through the public denials. Well, firing your coach in June is flat out stupid, period. -
Just a matter of time until they start to talk about Obama

When the best defense is to claim the guy was too dumb to know what he is doing. Thats a good sign he shouldnt have the job

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) It would be interesting to see the difference if they could record all of this, erase everyone's memory, make Hillary the President, and have the exact same thing occur. The coverage, not just at Fox, would be so different. They'd still be #sethrich'ing us to death, then interviewing people who had sex with children at a pizza parlor.
-
Fox is going to do nothing but focus on the fact that Comey leaked his notes and that Trump wasnt under investigation at the time of the questions. Most people are going to see that Russia was involved, the president lies and has been obstructing justice, Sessions was involved directly with Russia
-
Trump's entire business acumen appears to be asking for people to do him favors for access to something.
-
I dont understand why people would defend Trump because you are religious. He has nothing to do with that, and doesnt support it at all. Your religion should support you wanting truth and compassion from your president.
