Its interesting watching them root against themselves and our country .... cwazy i tell ya, just cwazy ...
No one is rooting against ourselves. We’re rooting for all the trump fanboys to finally see what a joke trump is. This is just another hilarious example of his ineptitude and wastefulness.
The whistleblower's attorney, Mark Zaid, openly admitted back in 2017 that a "coup" had started against the president from within the administration, and that CNN's coverage would play a "key role" in the effort.
He also openly solicited intelligence community members to help impeach and "get rid" of Trump, years before Trump's call with Urkaine's leader that triggered the current impeachment proceedings.
Additionally, Zaid acknowledged that the whistleblower had contact with a prominent Democratic presidential contender, amid reporters that he had served closely with Joe Biden when he was vice president. Trump's alleged pressure on Ukraine to investigate Biden is at the center of the current probe.
No wonder people overseas rarely wants anything built by Americans. Hell, the illegals don’t even need to climb the damn thing(which is stupid easy). Just wait for it to blow over lmfaoooooo
Maybe he hired the same construction company that built his hair?
That is not actually true. The coup text came as a reaction to trump firing someone (I don't remember who). He texted the coup has started. Meaning the Trump was the one running the coup of the government.
By the looks of it, he was right.

Facts do not matter to 40 and his cronies. Blind faith and the regurgitation of whatever Trump says is all that is required. When corrected (which is continuously) 40 will switch to troll mode and simply say really asinine one liners intended to deflect or annoy. . . . Resistance is futile. Ignoring is recommended.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Now your back in PP - you want to try and review how you brought up and talked about "the other Billionaire in PP threads" and then claim you didn't bring up Trump? Remember that blatant lie in football talk?
The more things change the more they stay the same.

Montana state GOP lawmaker says Constitution calls for socialists to be jailed, shot
A Republican state representative from Montana is coming under fire from his own party after he reportedly claimed earlier this weekend that the Constitution calls for socialists to be jailed or shot.
According to the Billings Gazette, state Rep. Rodney Garcia (R-Mont.) first made the remark after expressing concerns about socialists he said were “entering our government” and their presence in his district at an event on Friday.
He reportedly reiterated his remarks when pressed about his previous comments in an interview with a reporter for the local publication on Saturday.
“So actually in the Constitution of the United States (if) they are found guilty of being a socialist member you either go to prison or are shot,” the Montana Republican said.
Though he was reportedly unable to show what portion of the Constitution he was citing to back his claim, he continued to double down on his comments in the interview, saying, “They’re enemies of the free state.”
“What do we do with our enemies in war? In Vietnam, (Afghanistan), all those. What did we do?” he continued.
“I agree with my Constitution. That’s what makes us free. We’re not a democracy, we’re a Republic Constitution,” he also said.
The Montana Republican Party criticized Garcia in a statement to The Associated Press on Sunday.
“Under no circumstance is violence against someone with opposing political views acceptable,” Spenser Merwin, executive director of the group, told the news agency.
“It’s disappointing that this isolated incident took away from the weekend’s events which showcased the strength of our statewide candidates and the importance of the upcoming election,” he added.
The Montana Democratic Party also took aim at the Republican lawmaker, who reportedly has a history of local controversies, according to the Billings Gazette.
"Rodney Garcia has brazenly flaunted his conviction for a domestic dispute, called single moms deadbeats, and was only elected because he created an illegal campaign cash scam,” Robyn Driscoll, who chairs the party, told the Billings Gazette. “Now he's publicly calling for people to be shot.”
Garcia's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

I think shot is too harsh. But jailed? Socialists have always been enemies to the Constitution. Socialism at it's core is communism and takes freedom from people.

Not so fast, liberty includes freedom from oppression of political views (which include communism and socialism), and our Democratic government has taken its share of "freedoms" from people. The people are afforded the ability to democratically choose socialism/communism by the Constitution and its inherent setup of being amendable.
You mess with the "Bull," you get the horns. Fiercely Independent.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

This is the same way it began in Nazi Germany. People with opposing views become your enemy and must be punished for it.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
I'm still waiting on a answer on how the greatest Democrat of them all can buy a 15 million house on the coast when all lefties know the coast will be under water in 10 years. And where does a community organizer get all his money?
Why is it such a crazy idea to want to live on the coast until it's gone if you will recover the money you invested? Why would you consider it any different than buying a home in tornado alley?
I mean if your home burns down, don't you have insurance to cover your loss?
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
If I knew something was going to be under water in 10 years I would not be putting my trust in a insurance co. If all coastal real estate is lost the insurance co will just say Nope. Like they have done many times before But good answer Pit Myself, I would buy a Coastal waterfront if I had 15 mil laying around. Whats next Pit. Is Al Gore going to start worrying about his own carbon footprint instead of everybody else?
It's pretty funny that I give you logical explanations for your questions and all you seem to do is ask more questions. You don't believe in climate change anyway. So why are all of your questions about the effects of climate change?
Look. you bring up Al Gore. Yet his impact on how people view climate change are in large part due to the awareness he bought to the issue before many were speaking out about it. In your world that means nothing.

If I had made $20 million, as Obama apparently has, I would not spend $15 million on a house. Anywhere.
I realize he, and Michelle, will and do have current and ongoing income. I still would not spend $15 million on a house. Especially a house that, if what we're told is true, will be under water before long.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has collected more tax revenue than expected almost every month for more than two years, and Republicans are growing increasingly angry that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly still insists that the state can't afford income tax cuts favored by the GOP-controlled Legislature.
The state Department of Revenue reported Monday that tax collections in January were nearly $60 million more than anticipated, a 9% surplus for the month. Since the current budget year began in July, tax collections have run nearly $111 million more than expectations — and that's after state officials and economists boosted revenue projections in November.
Kansas has seen tax collections beat expectations 31 of the past 32 months, dating back to June 2017, even as expectations have risen. Top Republicans believe a key reason is that some individuals and businesses are paying more in state income taxes because of changes in the federal tax code at the end of 2017.
Kelly vetoed two GOPbills cutting income taxes last year, and she's still urging lawmakers to hold off on making any changes in income tax laws this year. GOP lawmakers argue that she's allowed an unlegislated tax increase.
“It's obscene,” said Senate Vice President Jeff Longbine, a Republican from eastern Kansas who serves on his chamber's tax committee.
The extra dollars pour into the treasury and bulk up the state's cash reserves unless lawmakers and the governor decide this spring to spend them. The state began its current budget year in July with $1.1 billion in cash reserves — a little more than twice as much as what's legally required.
Kelly has proposed using more than half of the state's reserves to pay off bonds and other debts early. She also continues to argue that Kansas can't risk returning to the budget shortfalls that followed a nationally notorious experiment in slashing state income taxes under then-GOP Gov. Sam Brownback in 2012 and 2013.
Bipartisan legislative majorities reversed most of the Brownback-era cuts in 2017, the year before Kelly was elected governor. The near-automatic surpluses in monthly tax collections date to the same month lawmakers repudiated Brownback's policies.
Kelly spokeswoman Dena Sattler said lawmakers should wait for a council appointed by the governor to study the tax system to make its recommendations at the end of 2020, rather than pursue changes “that could potentially send Kansas right back into fiscal chaos.”
“Kansas needs a more thoughtful approach this time around,” Sattler said in an email Monday.
But unexpected individual and corporate tax revenues keep flowing into the state treasury. Revenues from those two sources are 3.3% ahead of expectations for the current budget year — and 9.2% higher than in the previous budget year.
“Returning some portion of those is more compelling,” said House Taxation Committee Chairman Steven Johnson, a Republican from western Kansas.
Kansas expected to collect nearly $666 million in revenues in January but collected more than $725 million. Since July 1, the state has collected $4.3 billion in taxes, when $4.2 billion was expected.
State officials have no good figure for what Republicans call the “windfall” from the federal tax changes, outside of a $60 million-a-year estimate for the burden faced by individual filers who previously could claim itemized deductions on their state returns but now cannot.
The federal changes championed by President Donald Trump generally cut income taxes but included policies that discourage people from claiming itemized deductions. Kansas law prevents individuals from itemizing on their state returns if they don't itemize on their federal returns.
Republicans argue that middle-class families the hardest, because wealthy ones have high enough deductions to still itemize on federal returns. The bills vetoed by Kelly contained provisions to address the issue.
“She increased taxes when she didn't have to increase taxes. We want to roll that back,” said House Majority Leader Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican. “She's just being disingenuous in what she's doing. It's not fair at all.”
Top Republicans also have sought to shield corporations' foreign income from taxation — and that's been a main talking point for Democrats as they've attacked GOP plans. Most Democrats so far appear likely to stick with Kelly if she vetoes another GOP tax bill, making it harder for Republicans to find the two-thirds majorities in both chambers to override her action.
And House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer, a Wichita Democrat, pointed to an announcement last month by aircraft parts supplier Spirit Aerosystems announced it was laying off 2,800 employees, or more than 20% of its Kansas workforce, mostly in Wichita.
“It's a good thing we've got some good money right now because it could turn lean here pretty fast,” Sawyer said.
____________
everybody with a brain called this when she won. A dem was gonna come in, fix the budget that the republicans completely destroyed under their control, and the GOP was gonna whine about the taxes being too high.
a democrat starts making progress on deficits, and all the GOP wants to do is spend the money like frat boys who just got daddy's credit card.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
