    Donald Trimp: "I'm 100% willing to lie under oath."

    I know a quote isn't the same thing as a fact, but I guess it can be if the quoter is of especially unimpeachable character and integrity.

    Data mining to micro-target advertising would've been sufficient. And it would've required collusion.
    .....................

    In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...-u-s-elections


    Such operations need not change votes to be effective. In fact, the Obama administration believed that the Russians were possibly preparing to delete voter registration information or slow vote tallying in order to undermine confidence in the election. That effort went far beyond the carefully timed release of private communications by individuals and parties.

    Science and climate change deniers are perfectly fine with giving gargantuan amounts of money to scientists to keep America's military on top, which they have been gladly doing for over 50 years. And they do not question the scientists . . . as long as the scientists don't suggests scaling back the weaponry.

    For the GOP to pretend to not believe the scientists is such a huge lie they must sit around and laugh about it. Except of course for the Tea Party idiots who probably believe it.

    So is there an appropriate time to mention a Congressman who once called himself 'David Duke without the baggage' was saved by 2 black cops

    Do you or LOLGOP think these are good points?

    Sending one man golfing does not equal caring for the entire country - which we cannot afford to do. I don't know why math is so hard for you people

    yes, can't speak for LOL GOP but I think it is.

    Poor optics ----
    Question
    Ever read up on late 18th early 19th century European history ?

    I don't begrudge a man his wealth - but what I do begrudge is rubbing peoples noses in it.
    Wonder where Mike Pence is today?
    and why he isn't off at one of his heavily leveraged golf courses

    Or,
    Gary Johnson

    The disabled and seniors does not equal "the entire country". I don't know why basic reading is so hard for you.

    One trip to Mar a Lago cost taxpayers about 3.6 million dollars. Say X 50 comes to $180 million a year. How's my math? What makes that even more despicable is a criminal portion of that $180 million is going right into T's pocket.

    I don't support the golf trips but was mocked when I criticized Obama for them.

    I want the government to be much smaller across the board.

    According to some Trumps trip today is 30-33. To be fair even using that number that would means a paltry $100M to date.

    This source says 17 time to June 12.
    Wonder what Obama had done to that point to make Sturg go out on a limb and say he disapproved of both having leisure time.

    One big difference ?
    Obama wasn't giving free advertisement to his own business', which if you look real broadly, is in violation of emoluments clause
    But hey.


    Obama was 5 to this point.
    Used for the most part local courses. Some public

    Imagine your mother needs to move into a nursing home. It’s going to cost her almost $100,000 a year. Very few people have private insurance to cover this. Your mother will most likely run out her savings until she qualifies for Medicaid.



    $100M divided by $100K = 1000 years of nursing home care


    a must read
