The amount of redactions on these documents is actually hilarious (and sad): Newly-released Fast and Furious documents (…still keeping government secrets) Today, I received several pages of documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal where the Obama Administration secretly facilitated the delivery of assault rifles and other weapons to Mexican drug cartels. I requested the documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) back in 2013. This response took almost six years, even though– under FOI law– it was due in 30 days. </snip>

Poo. I was hoping it really was Trump's idea.

Boy, is that a hot commodity (ha!) ... and google isn't showing where it can be purchased until you switch to shopping. And Target is listed first in the shopping tab, where it is no longer available.

Anecdotal... so my husband was telling me yesterday that the WSJ ran a story that the sky is falling on the economy because RV sales are down and Elkhart Indiana (the RV capital of the world) claimed numbers are down. Down from what? Fox business had the same stats, and said they showed no anomalies (seasonal adjustments). Why such different takes on the same numbers? And before anyone says Fox is "pro-Trump" recall that in the first two years of the Trump administration Fox wrote negative stories against the administration over 50% of the time (55% against, 45% for ). Those exact numbers are buried in the media thread here for anyone that wants to dig them out. I am simply pointing out a news agency that is writing negative stories against the administration more than half the time, is considered "pro". That is what crazy-times we live in with the MSM. (Other stations and news agencies were over 90% negative.) I used "first two years" because that was the time frame the studies were done.

Say what you want about Ton Podesta (and there is a whole lot that can be said), but when this all started he closed down his firm and has been radio silent. I wonder where he is now?

Did I care about the deficit growing 74% under Obama? Yes. Do I care about the deficit growing 30% under Trump? Yes.

Well, they do seem to be "revised" upward nearly every stinkin' month to Z after being announced as Y. You tell me what that means. ? Again, if you want to be a Debbie Downer that is your right. However, the MSM has been screeching recession since the day Trump was inaugurated. There are video clips in this thread posted with astonishment when one of the news agencies actually reported good economic news. Again, the good times have been rolling the last few years, so why wouldn't the MSM be leading every newscast with that?

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll "unexpectedly" certainly comes to mind. What the "experts" predict are almost always lower than the actual numbers that come in during the Trump years, and then "unexpectedly" better numbers show up. And, when numbers are revised the last few years, the data is frequently revised upward (you can check this thread for those numbers - before and after - as people have been pretty good about posting them). Contrast that with many of the Obama years when numbers would be revised downward (and buried on page 57, paragraph 23). A few pages back I posted how well retail did in July (link to nbc I "think"), and that the recession was canceled. And yet the "talking point" of recession, recession, recession which does not exist currently, is being dialed-up. Why? Retail and consumer goods is so much of the US market (we like to consume *****) that if consumer confidence goes down, a recession can be triggered. There was a reason W told people to go out and shop after 9/11. It sounded trite, but it was meant to avert an economic meltdown. (And for the record, I couldn't stand W. Doesn't mean he was wrong.)

Having worked with Facebook ads, you can choose to identify the gender you are targeting in order to run the ad, yet Facebook has an ad rule that you cannot "target personal attributes". So Facebook actually violates their own policy with targeted ads?

I would like to read the report when it comes out. I think 33% is a tad high (I don't know anyone, of any age, that works two jobs right now, but I am just one person). It would be interesting to see the final report.

Senior Citizens Busted in Connecticut for Five-on-One Sex Romp in Public Six Connecticut senior citizens — five men and one woman — have been arrested for lewd behavior in a park for allegedly having sex in public, reports The six seniors ranging in age from 62 to 85 were arrested in Fairfield, Connecticut, after being witnessed engaging in a wild sex romp, according to ABC affiliate WVIT. </snip> The five men and one 85-year-old woman now face charges including breach of peace and public indecency. They were released after being handed court dates. </snip>

Another seat opened up:

At the risk of incurring @Augie's wrath... lately when we have had wings at has been at The Yelling Goat - a Berbere (Ethiopian) dry rub, and then hot wing sauce on top. The doubled, layered flavors are very good. I always liked La Nova's wings, but have not had them in a few years so they may have changed.

Ditto. My son dragged me back there last year and I must admit they were far better than I remembered. I don't get the Bar Bill love. They are meh at best. Anchor Bar is for tourists, although I never mind them when I take someone from out of town there. I have yet to visit one of the locations to see if they are any good.

FINALLY!! Now you get it. ?

Last night, Lindsey Graham used the "T" word: (Hannity needs to STFU!! He was talking over the Senator) If this was posted in another thread, mea culpa.

Laura Loomer’s Lawsuit Against Google will Be Heard Before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals In a huge procedural win for Laura Loomer, the D.C. Court of Appeals has agreed to hear the merits of her lawsuit against Google. </snip> Google had sought to have the lower court’s ruling summarily affirmed, which is what happens when a case is weak and the Court of Appeals concludes it would be a waste of time to hear the case. The D.C. Court of Appeals issued an order saying, “The merits of the parties’ positions are not so clear as to warrant summary action.” </snip>

My guess is the strategy is to point out that the Democrats have been allowing the lovely new Congresswomen to spout their vile Israel Jew hate, and not disavowing such talk. He may be hoping that this ties the Democratic leadership even more tightly to those lovely new Congresswomen, and have D-Jews questions WTF top Dems are thinking. Bonus points if the top-Dems and MSM come out in defense of the antisemitism of those lovely Congresswomen. Keep tying the Democratic party to those lovely ladies. It is a pretty good strategy, actually.

No veteran thread? I guess I will put it here: Executive Order: President Trump Cancels Student Loan Debt for Disabled Veterans President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that forgives all student loan debt for any permanently disabled U.S. military veterans. The order, which Trump signed following a speech at the American Veterans National Convention in Louisville, Ky., also clears those eligible veterans from having to pay any federal income tax on the loans. Trump added that he is pressuring individual states to follow suit. </snip>

(thread) The first three are from last week, then it goes on today about carter heavy industries: And another thread:

It was, but it doesn't really matter to me. I consider the source and move on. ?

Well, Hillary was the last Democratic presidential candidate, and a lotta Dems voted for her, sooooo apparently yeah, low standards from the Democrats who would be fine with a drunken president.

Sure thing, toots. I'll take your opinion into consideration. ?

Don't post stuff like that. People may use it against you.
