Well, while we never know what goes on behind closed doors.... I know plenty of people who got divorced over affairs. I cannot say I know anyone who was cheerfully involved in 'consensual non-monogamous relationships' married or not. Losers with low self-esteem?

I still have several liberal ideals. I don't consider myself mentally deficient.

Matt Gaetz... "I was offended to be identified by my race." LOL HOLY *****, those MSNBC people are nuts: "Republicans are running out of defenses." And she keeps using the words "subpoena" er, without a vote, those are merely "requests for documents." And she's saying that the Ukraine court findings are not facts. Ummm yeah.

Tim Ryan (who!?) ends his presidential campaign.

I am not sure that is selfish as no one wants to see rivers on fire. By the same token, no one wants to be told the puddle of rainwater on their land is under the province of the EPA. Too far in either direction isn't really a good thing.

Why this man should be suspended for saying he'd buy a legal gun is puzzling. Maybe it was the misspelling of civil? He also follows Q. To extrapolate; that means MLB is suspending workers for writing about their second amendment rights, political, and goofy, views. Well, suspended for having the "wrong" views and beliefs. .

Mmmmm bacon ? I'll do my part to get that surplus down!

Duh Instead of protecting its citizens, the 'government' is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives."

That "dovetails" with the Ds going absolutely insane: (She said dovetails twice in the report ?)

The condescension by that writer... unless I am reading this wrong (always possible) - </snip> But, like so much of the policy framework the populist right is working to develop to underpin it’s rhetoric, the proposed legislation, if it is to be implemented, must overcome the inertia of a status quo that has maintained for decades. How, for instance, would the federal agencies fill high-skill positions that require post-college education when the vast majority of highly educated Americans have, for decades, shunned the middle of the country in favor of coastal cities? The prospect of secure employment and a low cost of living will help, but the move will likely require a broader cultural transformation as well. </snip> Because no one in middle America has higher degrees!? No one wants to live in middle America? Shesh As to the idea? Like all things there are positives and negatives.

Hmmmm And Amy Klobuchar is there too.

This is more about what has not been happening with new border wall (a lot was rebuilt) than anything else. It really is a swamp in DC, and President Trump has been fighting all sides for almost three years now. Link President Trump’s next Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary will be tasked with completing more than 400 miles of border wall before the 2020 presidential election to fulfill the administration’s most crucial promise to voters. This month, Trump announced he would replace Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan after the former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner gave an interview to the Washington Post where he slammed the president’s “Zero Tolerance” policy at the border and decried the term “illegal alien” as having “racial overtones.” Thus far, the Trump administration has built between 70 and 74 miles of border wall at the United States-Mexico border, with the process moving exceptionally slowly throughout 2017 and 2018 as then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen repeatedly failed to secure funding for the project. </snip> Though conservatives are backing Acting United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ken Cuccinelli for the job, rumors have circulated that Nielsen’s close ally Chad Wolf is in the running for DHS Secretary. Wolf’s background dates back to the early 2000s when he worked in former President George W. Bush’s administration, along with Nielsen. From there, Wolf eventually went to work as a lobbyist, representing NASSCOM, a leader in the outsourcing industry that seeks no restrictions on the H-1B visa program, so employers would be allowed to routinely replace their American workforces with imported foreign workers. Behind the scenes, supporters of the president are looking to a variety of alternatives to Wolf, including DHS official Michael Dougherty, former USCIS Director Lee Francis Cissna, USCIS official John Zadrozny, former ICE Director Thomas Homan, Acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan, and former DHS official Katie Gorka. </snip>

Breitbart is selling these. I spewed coffee all over my monitor.

So I was in Italy for a while and my next stop is Australia ... er, I mean ... nothing to see here, nothing at all.

The polling for Tulsi attacking Hillary must be pretty good. I hope Tulsi has great security!

Do an internet search on Sophie Loren and Jayne Mansfield. That side-eye photo is very famous.

This is an interesting thread. IF accurate (that this guy is the whistle blower) there are more questions than answers as to why he was there. (this guy on twitter actually has a lot of threads about this "whistle blower")

Follow-up: BC Human Rights Tribunal rules in favour of female estheticians who refused to wax male genitalia The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF.ca) is pleased to announce that the BC Human Rights Tribunal has ruled in favour of home estheticians’ right to refuse to handle male genitalia against their will. The decision noted, “human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax.” The decision further found that the complainant Jessica Yaniv “engaged in improper conduct”, “filed complaints for improper purposes”, and concluded Yaniv’s testimony was “disingenuous and self-serving.” Finally, noted the Tribunal, Yaniv was “evasive and argumentative and contradicted herself” while giving evidence. </snip>

More on Canada's first black(face) Prime Minister:

That is a lot of moving the goalposts. The original "story" is $1M from his father which he used to earn a fortune. He was wealthier than his father when his dad passed away. If you want to use an inflation calculator to base what $1M is worth today (which makes NO sense as the money was "gifted" in 1975), click here. Even going by the illogical supposition that $1M gifted in 1975 is somehow equal to $60M (I REALLY hope you do not teach math), here is the value in today's dollars: $1,000,000 in 1975 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $4,772,472.12 in 2019, a difference of $3,772,472.12 over 44 years. Why is this a non sequitur? President Trump was worth $3B in 1985 according to Forbes (BTW, with the scrubbing and rewriting going on online to make him seem to have inherited his wealth, this wasn't easy to find). That means sometime within the those 10 years he took $1M and made it into $3B. editing to add... I see you responded and recognized your mistake on the $1M in today's dollars. We crossed in the posting. ?

Ummm if I can turn a $1M "gift" into $1B (or $4B or $5B) my only question is ... where do I sign up? How many of you have received a gift of $1000 and turned that money into $1M? Did you consider that doing it "on your own"? Or, by virtue of receiving a thousand dollars, did that success in turning it into a million dollars rest solely with the gifter? And, if you have not managed to multiply that $1000 gift by 1000 to turn it into a $1M via investments, hard work, and/or corporate opportunities, why not?
