Dem rep: 'I look forward to' Hannity's testimony

Big deficit spending juices the economy for a bit. That's the big results?

I think you never answered:
What benefits the economy more -
1. Giving billions to wealthy/corporations
2. Giving billions to the middle class

All else equal which primes the economy more? Which improves more lives? Which is more significant in terms of how much quality of life improves?
.
What deficit spending? You have yet to prove your point as the 17% increase in 2018 deficit was mostly interest expenses and entitlement spending increases. There was no Trump budget approved by Congress.

Amazing how people like you believe that people and companies keeping more of what they earn is a gift from Congress. Allowing companies and individuals to keep more of what they earn drives our economy and gives more power back to the states, power you seem to hate because you cannot promote your entitlement and socialist ideology

You seem totally clueless as to the benefits corporations provide to the local communities and to the seniors in those communities invested in the companies. Both corporate and individuals keeping more of what they earn benefits the economy and takes the pressure off the federal gov't to provide safety nets. You have yet and probably never will address that issue or the reality that you cannot give people who don't pay Federal Income Taxes a federal income tax cut, that would be a welfare payment thus an expense to the federal gov't
 
Your liberal compassion on full display along with the typical personal attacks and diversion from the results being generated. Liberal arrogance makes you believe you are the majority but outside of California that isn't the case. you think I give a damn about your holier than thou attitude when your party and the radical left are the most corrupt, dishonest, and detestable people on the planet. You see murdering a fetus somehow is justified as is the promotion of class envy, jealousy, and hatred for any issue that gets in the way of total socialism and elimination of the rule of law.

Most people with brain aren't easily indoctrinated and bullied and that is a new experience for you and the rest of the radical left, fighting back. I see no evidence of any left thinking with their brain but rather only with their heart. Now if you want to debate the issues I will be here, if not then there is no reason to continue even seeing your alias on my screen

You can whine, but no one will dine on that.
 
Dodging...

You still haven't answered:

Why not Conservative?
 
It would seem to me the evidence just isn't there, in legal terms. HRC was investigated for over two years by 11 investigations. Even Trey Gowdy couldn't find anything actionable, after a very extensive and exhaustive investigation. And you know he would take her to task in a NY minute, if he could.

My suspicion is the Right Wing media is ginning this stuff up, with no underlying substance to act upon legally.
Say what? Forget Clinton, there are plenty of other examples...hiding behind the Clinton excuse is weak, and a total dodge.

And you troll never responding to any topic with anything other than your personal opinion which I doubt even exists as this is an desire for attention certainly not honest debate

what part of BOTH benefiting the economy don't you understand, but by pure population numbers the middle class keeping more of what they earn would benefit the economy most. Corporations aren't as powerful as you want to believe especially the mega corporations but keeping more of what they earn benefits the state and local communities greatly

Which improves more?
You say both.
You didn't answer the question, it is already assumed both boost the economy (not counting the debt, etc.)
It's a question of degree.

Please go on record saying you believe those impact the economy essentially to the same degree or clarify which you believe provides great benefit.
Are you familiar with multipliers? If you spend $100B on digging holes to nowhere, vs say, $100B on roads, housing, bridges, education, etc.

Both benefit the economy in isolation. $100B digging holes, pays a lot of people! That money works its way back into the economy doesn't it?
Can you engage your brain and determine if you believe $100B on more useful and usable infrastructure, might benefit the economy MORE in comparison?

Read this Harvard study on Media Bias. Fox came out the best for balance. I'll remind you there is a difference between news and commentary.

News Coverage of Donald Trump’s First 100 Days - Shorenstein Center

The report you linked says no such thing. It says that Fox was by far more favorable towards Trump. The word "balance" was not mentioned in reference to Fox's coverage.

From your link:

"Have the mainstream media covered Trump in a fair and balanced way? That question cannot be answered definitively in the absence of an agreed-upon version of “reality” against which to compare Trump’s coverage."
 
No, that was my opinion based upon what I am seeing in this forum. Interesting how the anti Trump crowd never posts official data to support their rumors and claims but they continue to post their opinions and those of others regarding what to me is quite insignificant and Congressional(Democratic) overreach on issues of no concern or value to the American people, again my opinion
Alright, fair enough. I can't speak for others, but I personally try my best.
 
1: Prove the bold please. Prove that Trump supporters are amoral.

2: Prove the red please.

You can't of course. Oh you'll no doubt try. But you can't. The reason that you can't is because what is moral and what is amoral is entirely subjective and varies from person to person. (which btw my saying this disproves your belief that Trump supporters believe that everyone shares their "amorality")

Is lying amoral? If so, Trump's supporters who continually excuse his nearly constant lying are, in fact, rationalizing in order to continue to support Trump, with many of their rationalizations sounding something like "Who cares? None of that stuff he's lying about is important. Everybody bull****s, right?" Thus implying that because THEY lie, everyone else does.

Is cheating on your spouse amoral? Is paying off your past dalliances in order to keep them silent while you win an electional amoral?

Do you need more?

Regarding any others that concern you, you've got Trump running the DOJ, with his handpicked Republicans in charge. If they don't see what you believe you see, then you may have to reconsider your opinion or media sources. I'm not sure what else there is to say?
 
More rhetoric and opinions, nothing of substance. You all need to get over your TDS and heed the words of the following mayor

The mayor of Livermore California explains Trump’s popularity and success. This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity

From your link:

"He ran on the democratic ticket as he knew a Bay Area city would never vote for a Republican. He is as conservative as they come."

Are we supposed to applaud the words of someone who shows so little loyalty to his own ideology that he would run as a Democrat just to insure his election? That's really who you want to quote? Everything about this guy is a freaking lie. That's what I call amoral, yet here you are, holding him up as an example.

smh ...

:thumbdown
 
So in other words you cannot refute anything in the article posted?

It was an opinion. Even an elephant in donkey's clothing is entitled to an opinion. You don't refute opinions, you disagree with them.

What the hell does it mean to be loyal to a FAILED Ideology?? My he gets it like I did, when will you? I grew up a Democrat, was a JFK Democrat and voted for more Democrats in my life than you probably have voted Republican.

Today's Democratic Party doesn't resemble anything I supported or anything JFK promoted. This person was ELECTED in California and his opinion appears to be right on, why are you attacking him instead of addressing the issues raised?

What entitles you to someone else's wealth for your own personal responsibility issues? Why are you so envious of people that you would willingly destroy them? Why is the Trump economic policies so bad for you? What has he done that has hurt you, your family, or the country? Rhetoric means nothing whereas results mean everything

Most people are civil enough to disagree with an opinion and explain why. You have not explained why you disagree with his opinions but seem married to an ideology that goes against the very foundation upon which this country was built, individual responsibility, power at the state and local levels, small limited central gov't with the responsibility being providing for the national defense, and promoting welfare by getting out of the way of state and local responsibilities
 
He's firmly Team Trump, which means he'll lie.

The job description of being a trump supporter is to lie in the defense of Donald Trump.

Oh he will tell a Lie but it will only be a repeat of Trump's lie, meaning his testimony is worthless.
 
Interesting how the death of an Ambassador is being swept under the rug and an investigation made by a politicized FBI what was part of the swamp

Swept under a rug? Congressional Republicans raked her over the proverbial coals, very publicly, EIGHT TIMES and found nothing.

That's what you're going with? Hillary got away with it because the FBI is political? Wait ... what's that loud noise I hear? Could that be someone scraping at the bottom of the barrel?

:2funny:

:2funny:

She was and remains incompetent, an American Ambassador was killed and returned home by a Libyan jet. Everything she got was based upon her name as you cannot name one successful program or action she ever created or show any experience in managing or running anything. what is sad is you buy rhetoric and ignore substance. Your personal attacks on Trump are nothing more than someone vindictive and totally lacking in understanding of the politicized actions of the FBI and Justice Department.

Why is this witch hunt a lot more important to you than the benefits being generated for the American people in terms of pocketbook issues?
 
I know that I've already made one anti-Hannity comment in this thread, but i can't resist.

Are there really that many Democrats who want to be forced to sit there and listen to Hannity for hours? ****, i could barely do that when i was a right winger. At least Glenn Beck was likable back in the day.

Good point. I'm convinced that watching Hannity can kill brain cells. I really don't need any help in that department.


:stars:


:2fog:
 
What would you know about what matters to the American people? You are in a tiny minority of the aging and dying, old folks who prefer the nation as it was prior to civil rights and Roe v Wade.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. But, that no one takes those opinions serious should not surprise anyone with a brain.

Hey! Don't generalize! I'm an aging old person, and the only thing I want from pre Civil Rights is the Eisenhower era tax code!

I'm gonna let you look that up.

:mrgreen:
 
Good luck getting Hannity to stop interrupting long enough to answer anything.

Let's see if Hannity thinks he can cut Congress' mike if he doesn't like what he is hearing. LOL.

During the election, I tried to get 15 minutes of Sean in per day just to see what the crazies were thinking. Yeah, it was head splitting.
 
It would depend on the Hamilton & Gehrig effect as well as the forecast regarding square footage - among other things. Particularly in May or October when it would be at its apex.

"Among the 31 states (plus D.C.) with party registration, there are nearly 12 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. 40% of all voters in party registration states are Democrats, 29% are Republicans, and 28% are independents."

It sucks to be in a minority, doesn't it?
 
1 - Lots and lots of toner.
2 - Showering is a must in that situation.
3 - It once was 24 minutes but now routinely is down to 18.... unless its an hour show.

STOP, PLEASE! I can't take any more ... my sides hurt and my voice is fading! And my eyes were already red!

:2rofll:

(And if you can't stop, can I at least have some of whatever you're smoking?)
