Eric Holder for president?

Holder didn't do anything others before him didn't also do, others who would still have had the support of their supporters. Scandals can be made of anything when people are not held to consistency or facts. |

To me this is what I call a mongrolization of humans. I hope the good lord comes back before that can happen. But I think that will never happen, humans will never out smart nature. Nature is a powerful force.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/15/steve-bannon-scripted-questions-russia-probe-414755 Former adviser Steve Bannon answered questions about Russian election interference before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday — but only ones "scripted" for him in advance by White House officials, according to committee members. The ousted former political strategist to President Donald Trump appeared on Capitol Hill after multiple interviews with special counsel Robert Mueller in recent days, according to a source close to Bannon who confirmed an NBC News report. Both Mueller and the House Intelligence Committee are investigating whether the Kremlin might have influenced or colluded with Trump's campaign. During a closed-door meeting with the House Intelligence Committee that lasted nearly four hours, Bannon refused to answer any questions beyond 25 that had been pre-screened by the White House, senior Republican and Democratic committee members said. Rep. Adam Schiff, the committee's top Democrat, suggested those questions were so narrowly drawn that they appeared intended to mislead lawmakers. "There were questions along the lines of ‘Did you ever meet with X?’ And because the question had been written by the White House the answer was invariably ‘No,'" Schiff said. "When we asked the question, ‘Did you talk with ‘X?,' the answer was yes." The most reliable politics newsletter. Sign up for POLITICO Playbook and get the latest news, every morning — in your inbox.

But when committee members asked for details, Bannon said the White House instructed him to invoke executive privilege on Trump's behalf. Executive privilege is a legal claim the president can use to protect conversations from scrutiny by other branches of government. That left even senior committee Republicans unhappy. Rep. Mike Conaway of Texas, the Republican who leads the panel's Russia investigation, said he would discuss with House Speaker Paul Ryan whether to seek contempt charges against Bannon, who was Trump's chief strategist until he departed the White House last August. A White House official said the complaints from Republicans and Democrats on the panel ring hollow. The 25 questions that Bannon was authorized to answer, this official said, were the product of weeks of negotiations between White House counsel and House Intelligence Committee staff members both parties. Lawmakers on the panel were aware of, and had agreed to, the parameters of Bannon's testimony, the official said. The official added that the White House would respond if the committee pursues a contempt citation. In a visit to the House panel last month, Bannon made clear he would not discuss his time on the post-election transition team — which investigators are probing for potential contacts between Trump allies and Russian government officials — nor his tenure in the White House, during which Trump took actions that many Democrats believe may constitute obstruction of justice. Conaway described "a little frustration" among committee members and said he intends to review the mechanics of a contempt citation, including whether it will require the committee to vote or can simply be raised on the House floor. "Contempt is a big deal and I don’t have unilateral control over that conversation," he said. Ryan's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Schiff raised what he described as another potential conflict: Bannon's attorney William Burck also represents White House counsel Don McGahn, whose office advised the House on what questions Bannon would be able to answer. He said he has question about "counsel advising one witness based on instructions from another client." |

another school shooting

WHY? aren't our master legislators Like Nancy & Chuck addressing armed guards in schools. Only seems logical. Give veterans a job protecting our children. Could only help. 18 school shootings so far this year. It happening at an alarming rate and it's sad, but I don't see an end to it with the amount of people inhabiting the earth at the rate it's going, and the mindset and mentality of society today. People need to vote for a better cause and those overbaring libtarded ones aren't making things any better in America. |

The entire family died of acute radiation poisoning....

I really hope this is a honest and non-bias investigation , but they don't call them Slick Willie and Crooked Hillary for nothing. But it does look like Trump knows how to clean the swamp without drawing a lot of attention.

Between the these corrupt FBI agents, and the corruption from the Loretta lynch justice dept. and throw in the blow hard pundents at cnn, msnbc, nytimes plus the dilusional deadbeats like pelosi, waters, shiff, shumer, and so many others , they remind me of KAYOS that inept anti-government group on that old sitcom Get Smart . A bunch of bumbling fools trying to rig a election . But to their dismay the only thing they accomplish is to leave tracks and clues leading the bloodhounds to their own incompitence and wrong doing. These folks should pull jail time unless we still have firing squads. We will see what happens now that the cat is out of the bag. But the one thing we can learn from all this... Thanks to trump and his popularity we now know how little integrity and lack of carricter the Obama administration ever had and now we can clean the scum out of our government. Part of making America great again.

I'll try to keep this shorter than 20,000 words like the previous post. .,the homeless in this country. I'm not talking about those able bodied who refuse to work . I'm talking about the elderly, or anybody that honestly can't do for themselves. Instead of the silly things our government spends our money on like shrimp on treadmills( that's true) to some needless grants , even some programs designed to help protect us from everyday items .(FDA,EPA, etc. ) plenty of room to stream line. Build moderate homes spread out in cities not craned together like low income housing. They could be small 1 bedrooms to big enough for a family.anything that would shelter them. Putting 200 or. So homeless people that have nothing. Putting them together is a situation for violence.

I always agree to disagree. I don't particularly love it when emotional appeal type words like 'job growth' are thrown around without data or clarification ... and people believe rhetoric about 'liberals' on welfare as if conservatives are not on welfare ... |

maybe because its like bragging about the sun coming up, it was gonna happen anyway being that it was ALREADY Dropping and all ... and therefore not REALLY Much to do with the current administration. the creation of new jobs, companies investing in new machinery an equipment. mfg. Companies coming BACK to the U.S. Companies hiring more people due to tax breaks. Companies giving across the board bonuses and that was gonna happen anyway?.... how was that going to happen anyway? what is "and all"? the rate was gonna DROP anyway since 2014 it has been dropping ALREADY jan-dec 2014 12.1-10.6 percent ( 1.5 percent drop) jan-dec 2015 10.4-8.5 ( 1.9 percent drop) jan-dec 2016 8.9-7.9 (1.0 percent drop) jan-dec 2017 7.8-6.8 (1 pecent drop) the rate HAS BEEN Droping at least one percent a year BEFORE TRUNP Since Trump, that rate has not CHANGED or improved. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006 maybe he can get credit for not making it worse? But for making it better, no. what does crack have to do with clear numbers or the Black Unemployment rate declining? Trumps first budget began OCTOBER of 2017. Unemployment rates until that time are still under OBAMAS plans and they have BEEN declining by at least one percent a year since then.2014, under OBama. Since Trump took office that trend has not INCREASED, meaning Trump is illogically taking credit for what was happening before he had any role to play in it. Bush was anti regulation and unemployment still went up, so that correlation is not really consistent and reliable either. I agree. Too bad so many believe empty slogans and whatever Trump claims are the only 'truth' and that data and facts are only 'talking points'. |

I would like to add another nominee to this coveted award. ..that nominee is the democrats that had enough integrity to go to the SOTU address . They hate everything and support nothing. If you agree with what the president says you show support w/ applause. They sit on their hands about the great job our military is doing. They sit when talk of tax cuts to everybody, they sit on topic of low unemployment, for all races. They sit on topic of better care for our vets. It seems they thrive on taking the low road no matter what. They truly deserve the disrespect they have earned.
