    Bookers Threat

    He claimed otherwise in front of the committee and the nation. That matters. But not as flagrant as attempting to defraud an election by taking a meeting with Russian government intermediaries to get dirt on Russia. Consistency. Trying to break a rule or law should have moral and legal...

    Bookers Threat

    Sorry you missed the point, jnug. The point is that Republicans who wish to hold Booker to an attempt to break a Senate rule are hypocritical if they do not endorse holding Trump Jr. et al for taking the Trump Tower meeting in an attempt to illegally get election help from a hostile foreign...

    Bookers Threat

    My point is whether intent, or attempt to violate rule/law should precipitate punishment. For Booker and Trump Jr./Kushner/Manafort, the answer is "yes".

    I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

    I like once-libertarian Rand Paul's idea of lie detector tests for all administration officials. Better yet, water-boarding! The funny thing is that dozens of officials thought it appropriate to actively deny they wrote the editorial. This is necessary only if such people are plausibly the...

    Bookers Threat

    Agreed with Mycroft. And since Donald Jr. (along with Kushner et al) attempted something illegal, conspiring with Russian officials to get election help in the infamous Trump Tower meeting that Donald obstructed justice on, he should also be hauled in front of lawmakers and receive due...

    What date does the economy start being Trump's economy?

    GDP grew 6 points under BO. About 1 since Unemployment fell 6 points under BO. About a half point since. The much-maligned trade deficit has *increased under DJT. Questions?

    The question is, what should happen to Booker now wrt Senate and rules.

    What date does the economy start being Trump's economy?

    Clinton added provisions to protect workers and the environment, the two major concerns Democrats had previously. Significant omission.

    Michael Moore compares Trump to Hitler in new documentary

    I think the point isnt whether Donald has yet caused what Hitler did --clearly he hasn't-- but whether his wholesale attack of the institutions of accountability (the media, FBI, intelligence agencies, Justice Dept, anyone who disagrees) as well as his seeming view that the top law enforcement...

    Bookers Threat

    To anyone capable of staying on-subject, should Booker's attempt to break Senate rules, his intent, precipitate the full consequences and punishment, even if the emails had technically already been released?

    What date does the economy start being Trump's economy?

    Economists generally say it takes at least a year for new policies to show up in numbers like unemployment, GDP, etc. Stock market is forward looking but most other indicators are not. A year is probably fair. Trump said he inherited a disaster. Compare to what Obama inherited, economically...
