Rarely can you find a book that tells you all you need to know…on it’s front cover.
“What Happened?”
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
End of story. No need to turn a page.
(A 2-word question; a 3-word answer…succinct is good.)
And they say Democrats have no capacity for introspection…
It’s a good thing for Steve Bannon he has a day job at Breitbart.
If political consequences are the real measure of a mistake, unless Republicans lose 1000+ legislative seats and numerous gubernatorial positions ‘cuz Comey was fired, the biggest mistake in modern political history – by a huge margin – was…
…picking Barack Obama as their Democrat presidential candidate in 2008.
Hey, if the size of a mistake is measured by its outcome, firing Comey ain’t even close.
We predict the next ‘biggest mistake’ will be…a no-promises-kept GOP Congress.
(And, someone, please tell Mr. Bannon ankle-biting isn’t a good look for him.)
Why is the Republican-controlled Congress slow-walking FBI political chicanery?
If this is some political dance, timed to help the GOP in mid-term elections, we’ve got news for them. Good luck…because the media never cooperates, and Republicans aren’t good at Democrat tactics anyway. Just get the probe investigation done.
The FBI was considered the premier law enforcement agency in America, but since it’s been weaponized by Democrats, it’s taken on the look of a seedy gum-shoe co-op.
First, they take the word of a Democrat-bought private group (CrowdStrike) claiming a pre-election DNC ‘hack’ was done by Russians – without looking at evidence – then use the Democrat-paid FusionGPS creation of a ‘dossier’ to investigate Pres. Trump.
The longer this travesty is drawn out, the more it plays to Democrats’ favor. It’s obvious that Comey was their political puppet, and it’s just as obvious that issues of Russian ‘hacks’ and Trump-collusion are Democrat-funded ploys of the most transparent kind.
No serious-minded American believes that a non-political FBI would ever use the word of non-agency politically controlled groups to control/divert that agency’s investigations. No evidence has been presented for public review, and the FBI’s never been allowed to look at (or otherwise analyze) the DNC server that was claimed to be ‘hacked’.
Former intelligence experts agree this is all a lying fabrication, so why the delay?
Stop trying to play their timing games – expose the FBI chicanery NOW.
Judging by first reviews, Hillary Clinton’s blamed everyone and every thing for defeat…
…except, of course, the real culprit…
…Hillary ‘What Emails, It-Was-A-Video, What-Difference-Does-It-Make’ Clinton.
Democrats must be ssoooo proud.
American Spectator has a great article on reasons to reform the corporate tax code.
The tax code as written unfairly benefits the big corporations at the expense of their smaller competition that can’t afford the lobbyists and lawyers needed to push for huge tax-breaks, carve-outs, and favorable loans and loan guarantees…defined as cronyism.
“A 2015 report found that, over the previous 15 years, Congress doled out more than $68 billion in corporate welfare through targeted tax breaks and grants. This amount does not even include the trillions of dollars that Congress has offered out in favorable loans and loan guarantees.
This same report also highlights another issue with the current tax cut-dependent system. Approximately 67 percent of the grants and tax breaks went to a small group of 582 large corporations, and 21 corporations received $500 million or more. Many smaller corporations cannot afford armies of lobbyists, and therefore are left out in the cold when Congress starts crafting tax breaks.” (bold & underline emphasis added)
One guess which Party gets the lion’s share of donations from those 582 corporations?
That’s right – the same Party bemoaning corporate tax code reform as favoring the rich.
A flat 15% rate without carve-outs puts every corporation on a more level playing field, and cuts back on the huge costs of legal teams massed to deal with existing code – so more funds can be used to invest in corporate growth…rather than tax-dodging.
If saving $68 billion isn’t enough reason for code reform…
…who would argue with less money going to tax-lawyers?
(Other than the Democrats, of course.)
One can only hope the doomsday polling that shows voter anger is noticed in DC.
Republican voters are tired of their congressman playing small ball. It’s almost as if they think winning majority control is the end-game, rather than keeping campaign promises that got them into Congress in the first place.
We don’t know of any GOP politician whose campaign ran on ‘send me to Congress so I can sit in the driver’s seat’…we heard Obamacare and DREAMer repeal, and grow-economy or tax-reform promises…but no ‘I want power but won’t use it‘ rhetoric.
So far, this GOP Congress is guilty of dereliction-of-duty, and, sadly, it looks like they’re in no hurry to change that any time soon. Good news is this President is a take-charge kind of guy, and will work what deals he can to get done what’s in his power to do.
There is one Tripwire that will signal Republicans have developed a will to win…getting rid of the Filibuster that requires 60 votes to pass. If the GOP forces a 51-vote simple majority to pass legislation, it could just signal they have found some backbone.
But in the meantime, President Trump is all we have.
Breitbart Headline…“Poll: Revolt Brewing Across America Against Failed Congressional GOP Leadership”
If you don’t think President Trump is in the driver’s seat, read this story.
Then, you might get a better handle on how (and why) things are being done in DC.
Yeah…right…move along, nothing to see here…
Wow, these Trumps keep on swinging for the fences, don’t they?
Townhall headline: “Trump Jr. Wanted to Meet with Russian Lawyer to Obtain Info on Clinton’s ‘Fitness’ for Office”
Tell me that’s not a HUGE body-blow.
Turning the Left’s innuendo-fest against the Trump campaign team is always a praise-worthy feat, and Trump Jr’s statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he met with a Russian lawyer to determine the “fitness, character, or qualifications” of Hillary Clinton is right up there with the all-time great ‘back-at-ya’ moves against Democrats.
HUGE.
Another side benefit to the debt-ceiling deal President Trump just closed with Democrat leaders Pelosi and Schumer neuters their almost-daily rabid-dog anti-Trump rhetoric.
Post-deal…
…how can they square the fact they just sealed a deal with a lunatic Republican?
You just gotta love this guy…
