There is no doubt that her short term rent cause will be funded by somebody and I don't really see anything wrong with that. She'll be very well herded and protected by her Dem colleagues and will be up to leftist (the party of free stuff) political speed in no time. Probably the most trainable of all the new members and heck she can serve at cocktail parties.

Vegas over/under is 36.5. Even at that the under still looks good.

After further and very close review I don't see the evidence of alteration in the video that I thought I did. More likely just crappy resolution from 2001 era camera. It could be an older camera than that but picked that date because Clinton probably didn't have cameras in place.

That actually might be an edited/doctored video. More on why later.

Wow, sorry you had to endure such awful injuries. You are right, she shouldn't be serving. It isn't noble IMO to die in office. She's earned her freedom and with good retirement benefits. Go have some fun and if you want to stay involved in the judiciary, go lecture or mentor younger people.

Dems aren't following along. If Mueller is writing his final report now as is being reported, then the change in AG means nothing. The investigation is ending so the acting or new AG is not of consequence in this matter.

I'm amazed at this point today that Trump would even call on the guy given the history other than it gives Trump another chance to crap on CNN with the cameras rolling.

The minor sparring over the mic was no big deal, but Acosta not giving it up and continuing to stand and ramble while Trump had turned his attention to the next question was absurd. What Trump and Sanders need in these briefings is a bailiff-like person to remove these people when they are so out of line. Any secret service agent will do.

Bills will win this one.

Oh yes she is. She's the Dems best leader dontcha know? It's only a 2 year gig so no worries.

Microsoft.

Gowdy is a very good bet.

It's Porsche, pronounced por-sha

So does this mean that Mueller now reports to Whitaker?

Acosta has guts. Stupid, but gutsy. Don't know how he can carry on as he does day after day.

It's done very easily now. There is software out there that with simple moves of the mouse over a map will provide population, demographic and voter registration stats on the fly. Governors and their staff can redistrict an entire state in an afternoon to their liking and on the very edge of legal requirements.

When all is said and done, the D's will have about a 6 seat edge in the house. Now will they have the stones to elect a speaker other than Pelosi?

I'll take the over.

He plays like he smokes a joint before games.

Oh no, they will spend.

We were at 3% flat for decades. 2 governor's ago along with the state legislature raised it to 5% temporarily. Current Rep governor let it expire so it reverted back to 3% and he vowed to cut spending and do the hard work to balance the states' books. He was stonewalled in those efforts and the Dem legislature passed an increase to 4.95% with a veto-proof majority. It will likely be tough for new governor to get a progressive tax in place as it may require a change in state constitution or some other heavy political lift but the Dem's seem committed to doing it. The beauty of the flat tax is forcing government to raise or lower taxes on everyone at the same rate which is harder for Dems to do which is why even in this heavy Dem state we were able to stay at 3% for so long. Instead though, property taxes are high here and other taxes and fees as well. The current Rep governor won because he promised to reduce the tax from 5% to 3% and fix our spending problems. Now that he was unable to fix spending, the Dems are using their progressive tax playbook. Once that gets into place, it's open season on upper income people forever. It'll take a catastrophe to ever elect another Rep Governor again here.

Dems winning the house will all but assure us that Trump is re-elected in 2020. Remember, the party in power always screws up and the D's only need control of the house to ***** up in grand fashion.

Tomorrow it will be open season.

Illinois after electing a "R" businessman to be Governor 4 years ago will likely elect a "D" businessman today (mostly a silver spooner) as the next Governor. The D candidate JB Pritzker is running on a progressive state income tax platform (we have a flat tax now) and of course promising a cut for lower income people and a big increase on "the rich". A classic buy votes with other people's money strategy. Meanwhile for 4 years the D controlled state houses have stonewalled any efforts by the current governor to cut spending and revise on a going forward basis state pensions and to enact term limits. The Big D machine in Illinois is rolling.
