The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 890 - Politics and Economics

Only 15 days in jail for the Russian oppo leader who dared to protest peacefully against Putin. I guess that's progress? I mean the alternative was a polonium shake and cremation

Don't cheer too soon. Russian jail can be a dangerous place.

the thing is, it's not hard to excuse the people who didn't immediately identify that as satire. So much of this **** is beyond parody.

They'll get primaried and lose the seat, because the far left is stupid.

Getting money out of politics and frozen truck driver are fine reasons, even if the unstated main reason is **** You, Free Garland. Call me crazy, but I think voters might like Democrats fighting for what they believe in, and not rolling over like bitches. Maybe?

Kushner was only a limited volunteer son in law for a limited amount of time.

If people aren't going to work farm jobs for those wages, does that mean that wages will increase when those workers are not available?

This is not true for the country as a whole. Plenty of people voted for Trump because they wanted change/businessman/not-Hillary/etc. Alabama policies are not popular in the US at large; there's a reason you so often hear Alabama as a punch line.

Right, which means paying more for the same food.

Jared Kushner had a previously undisclosed meeting with the CEO of 'the bank that financed Vladimir Putin’s grandest ambitions'

Retail's demise is inevitable. Work on getting new industry there, rather than prop up a dying one at the expense of its employees.
