The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 4588 - Politics and Economics

Even if it does, to my knowledge all it requires is the other side of the argument get equal time. Most places including fox already do this, they just bring in complete dopes that are there specifically to get dunked on.

Lol fox in the 90's maybe. Now it's all fash all the time. Maybe balanced with someone who thinks we should deport muslims rather than actually murdering them.

I often wonder what the 'money is just a way of keeping score' type zillionaires think of just keeping a record of all the money they make so cool beans, score kept, and then just giving it away. There must be some really excellent reason why none of them do that.

I bet it's not that hard, actually. I bet I'd be just aces at it.

Seems like "Not Trump" actually is a winning argument

Got to love the Florida corruption. Scott axed a high speed train plan from Obama, then gave the green light to a project that Scott invested in.

Quote:

As one of his first acts in office in 2011, Gov. Rick Scott canceled a $2.4 billion federally funded and shovel-ready bullet train from Orlando to Tampa because it carried “an extremely high risk of overspending taxpayer dollars with no guarantee of economic growth.’’

It was a political slap to then-President Barack Obama, who considered the high-speed rail project central to his infrastructure reinvestment initiative. Now, the idea has returned — revived by All Aboard Florida, a Coral Gables-based company that has heavily supported Scott — and the governor has reversed course.

Scott said in June he believes a high-speed rail line from Orlando to Tampa is a good idea and, in a quiet testament to his confidence in the project, he and his wife last year invested at least $3 million in a credit fund for All Aboard Florida’s parent company, Fortress Investment Group, according to recently disclosed financial documents.

I'm pleased with this. It was super easy to convince typical nonvoters to vote in the primary this year compared to the past where people were, "meh, I hate politics".

My Dem friends would crawl over glass to vote.

If they live somewhere with a republican governor they may have to in the end.

How’s she doing?' What followed was a vile exchange, right in front of Ivanka, with Gene Simmons talking about her in a room full of people. While leering openly at her breasts, he said, 'She’s a very, very sexy, desirable young woman who I’m looking forward to getting to know much better if you know what I mean, with all due respect.' Her father egged him on."

I sat across the aisle from Gene Simmons on a cross country flight a few years ago. It was embarrassing how many middle-aged white guys felt the urge to tell Gene how great he was as they were boarding the plane.
