Which is a good point. If people are happy with their lives then they aren't victims of a system measured by income.

Most in the bottom 50% of workers are there because they deserve to be. They've not done what they can to do better financially. When you really look at our population objectively, we have a huge portion that are lazy and have not taken best advantage of educational and other opportunities. Many people are just not motivated or willing to act on motivation to do better. They get comfortable in the financial struggle and just find ways to stay there or they continue to make the mistakes in their work that keep them there. And some people candidly are happy there.

Fox, CNN and the others do report news accurately among some of their content. More and more though, news outlets are offering opinion over news or news delivered with opinion. All pick and choose which stories they want to report to their viewership so are they slanted, hell yeah. It's very easy if uninformed on a topic to buy in or reject what you're watching or reading depending on your own personal point of view. So if you are a left leaning person and CNN reports that Mueller indicts 12 Russians for stealing data from DNC and related party servers, and they interview "experts" who make commentary and speculation which potentially ties Trump and his campaign to this, it meets with your approval because it supports your hopes and views. You get a rush inside because oh boy they've got Trump right where they want him now and you plan to tune in later for more. Unfortunately such reporting fails to mention that Rosenstein stated in his announcement of charges that no Americans are involved. At some point CNN may have reported that but the bulk of the reporting and commentary fails to consider that. It is in fact slanted propoganda.

Using liberal values yes I do because the end justifies the means. You can understand that, right?

Wow to all of that.

Barack Obama. He was handed the presidency by a very unpopular outgoing Bush and left his party in an even worse position than did G.W. He methodically engineered the decline of his party in just a couple years as President. The Dems got slaughtered in 2010 mid terms and lost many dem governors. He presided over the decline in the US Senate from 60 dems to under 50 and to a significant minority in the house. He won re-election and continued to govern and speak out against what the majority of the voting public supports. He then stood back as party leader and let the party anoint Hillary as the chosen 2016 presidential candidate which led to her defeat to a very unpopular candidate of the opposition party. He used his intelligence agencies to engineer what he thought would be a victory in 2016 and lost and is now being exposed which will further damage his party. By all rights he should be even more toxic than Pelosi, Reid and Clinton.

It means free smart phones for all with dating, rideshare, zuckerface, safe space, UBI and rescue dog apps included.

He sleeps in a tanning bed.

I think we need a party called The Math Party. This party will simply run on and govern by the numbers.

If the article is accurate it means she pleasured Strzok, learned of the inner workings of his "investigations" and may now spill the beans. That is one evil woman.

From what most media are reporting, you'd think the meeting with Putin was set to discuss Russian hacking and only Russian hacking.

How about both parties start running governments on the math of government? That is be responsible with tax revenue, protect citizens, enforce laws and get out of the business of everything else.

Who was Obama addressing from South Africa? South Africans? Americans but speaking from South Africa? The entire Globe? Was this his way of starting a campaign to be ruler of the world?

Page has more to lose by not being cooperative and honest. She's probably guilty of less or little criminal activity than is he so lying now exposes her more legally down the road. He on the other hand probably has a lot more wrongdoing to defend and more people to cover for. At this point he's gotta publicly maintain his innocence until it's in his best interests to cooperate, and he may be so down with the cause that he's willing to go down with the ship G. Gordon Liddy style.

Yeah but they don't stand at the podium with him when he's speaking.

Yeah but the Republicans have Utah.

I'm just amazed at how much time and energy Congresscritters have to watch and critique every word and every move the President makes. I suppose when you do your own job so completely and so well it affords you the time to do that.

Yeah, like Chicago has $6 million a year laying around in surplus. It's Rahm buying votes with other people's money when he's in a tight Mayoral race.

Yes, fiscal responsibility is wide open right now. Neither party has made a claim there.

Orton was a better QB then.

We're gonna see the real Obama in upcoming years I think. He hid his true socialistic and racist beliefs to an extent while in the White House. He's a free bird now. Surprised it took him this long to start banging that drum. Alexandria should get some political advice which would be to stay off the radar as much as possible before the election. No interviews, no debates, no rallies. Just count on the big "D" next to your name on the ballot to carry you in your district. So Dems say: come on in (to any and all immigrants), get a check and smoke a few joints too. What a country.

Our electoral system wasn't impacted by this. It's certainly an egregious crime that was committed but we really don't know yet who was responsible and we don't want it to continue. Further efforts by any nation to do something similar should result in a strong response if we have airtight evidence.

I'm not defending Trump as he certainly could have articulated his position better on the matter than he did, which is often the case on any given topic. He did speak before going into the meeting and stated that he did have confidence in US intelligence. The media is simply seizing on his bumbled post meeting presser. In the end what he said changes nothing. Somebody stole documents from vulnerable US political people and orgs during 2016. Obama and co. knew about it then and either willfully ignored it or chose just to bark a little at Putin. We launched an investigation into the matter and filed charges against a dozen Russians and Putin denies they are responsible. Putin has gotten the message that we're pissed. Trump had no impact on what happened with regard to this before he was President and in terms of the relationship between our countries, there are bigger fish to fry unless this happens again.

Actually publicly Trump didn't take a side. He said he was confident in what his intelligence people were telling him but also said that Vlad was pretty emphatic that they didn't do it. He played it down the middle in public. Unfortunately we the public will probably never see the evidence which is unfortunate because there is a lot of private sector know-how on this that could evaluate it. More private sector expertise than that of the feds probably.

I think it's entirely possible for Mueller's crew to find evidence pointing to Russians and not go any further while knowing they could/should go further.
