He is a lawyer, " I do not recall" will keep him from being charged with perjury, whereas if he denied, or lied, he would be subject to prosecution. Weaselly little gnome has figured he can beat the system. (his memory seems to be worse than any pot head he wants to imprison) - Janet Kay Blood

Those characterizations are unfair. AG Sessions is a Republican and should be exempt from expectations of intellect, morality or character. - David Williams

You are generally a sensible man, Cliffy. What is the rationale behind all this obsession with Trump. If you take the time to think for just a minute that when a man of Cannuck's calibre bad mouths someone ad infinitum you can pretty well figure the guy to be fairly solid. Trump is a politician none of which have stellar reputations, so there is really no one to replace him who is worth the effort. Let's just keep an eye on him for the next three years and see where it leads. It won't be any worse than the last 3 or 4 presidents for sure!

Cliffy is a contrarian. He thinks that by memeing or constantly posting "anti" slogans, he is demonstrating his intelligence. He is the personification of the "grumpy old man".

There's no need to be grumpy, but I guess it's easier for him to slide into that. It's his comfort zone. It is also what isolates him.

Federal court permanently blocks the defunding of sanctuary cities as "unconstitutional on the face of it."

Once again Trump's own words (calling the action a weapon) were instrumental in derailing the action - just like on the muslim ban.

this administration is unable to draft a constitutional executive order - so the fact that they are unable to achieve a repeal/replace comes as no surprise.

Worst. President. Ever.

Nope! :)

He "marches to the beat of a different drummer". Since I am unable to say that there are not situations where that won't work, I won't criticise it. Apart from being set in his ways he's basically a nice guy. Give him some space. We old f**kers past the 70 mark can be grumpy and we've mostly earned the right.

Why do you feel he has earned the right to be 'grumpy' to 99% of the population he represents other than him being over 70?

Bernie Sanders is older than him and he doesn't feel he should make the majority of peoples lives miserable.

Maybe Sanders had a more fulfilling life than Trump and you and isn't out for revenge on the people.

From the 'Socialsit' Forbes magazine......


GOP Tax Bill Is The End Of All Economic Sanity In Washington


If it’s enacted, the GOP tax cut now working its way through Congress will be the start of a decades-long economic policy disaster unlike any other that has occurred in American history.

There’s no economic justification whatsoever for a tax cut at this time. U.S. GDP is growing, unemployment is close to 4 percent (below what is commonly considered “full employment”), corporate profits are at record levels and stock markets are soaring. It makes no sense to add any federal government-induced stimulus to all this private sector-caused economic activity, let alone a tax cut as big as this one.

This is actually the ideal time for Washington to be doing the opposite. But by damning the economic torpedoes and moving full-speed ahead, House and Senate Republicans and the Trump White House are setting up the U.S. for the modern-day analog of the inflation-producing guns-and-butter economic policy of the Vietnam era. The GOP tax bill will increase the federal deficit by $2 trillion or more over the next decade (the official estimates of $1.5 trillion hide the real amount with a witches brew of gimmicks and outright lies) that, unless all the rules have changed, is virtually certain to result in inflation and much higher interest rates than would otherwise occur.

The GOP’s insanity is compounded by its moving ahead without having any idea of what this policy will actually do to the economy. The debates in the Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees and on the House floor all took place before the Congressional Budget Office’s analysis and, if it really exists, the constantly-promised-but-never-seen report from the Treasury on the economics of this tax bill.

Meanwhile, Congress has ignored other estimates like this one from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School showing that the tax bill won't do what the GOP is promising.

On (re)naming North Korea a terrorist state Trump tries to shut down talks.

Hopefully it will have the opposite result - like the way his climate change denial is creating greater climate change awareness.

Its Amazing when you think about it. Trump has done more for the environment then everyone still in the Paris accord.

He’s a free market genius.

Murphy figures if anyone disses his hero, he must be a contrarian. Murphy is an asshole with really thin skin. I post this stuff cuz it ruffles the feathers of ignorant piss ants like Murphy and Sleepy. Really. I don't care about Trump and his gang of thugs. The millions of hillbillies who voted from him are the real problem.

Murphy figures if you could contribute positively to a discussion, someone might listen to you.

You are just a bitter old man with a potty mouth. I believe that you are going to die alone and no one will find you for weeks.

You're a senior who has no friends and depends on a fragile Internet connection in order to interact with the world. Rather than spend your days insulting people and posting trash on the Internet, get out and interact with real people. You're 70. How much time do you have left?

Go for a walk. Go to a park or a club and meet people. A cloistered life is no life.
