So if a drug dealer (the "rattor") rats out another drug dealer (the "rattee"), does that negate the illegal activity of the "rattee"?

Are you pretending the current President is a drug dealer? We all know President Trump is a NY shark. I'm not buying into the persistent claims the "end id near" for Trump.

Six weeks ago it was taxes and JB was posting pics of Al Capon claiming it was over for Trump. meh..

Last week the NY AG said she would investigate EVERY thing about Trump, his family and associates. Am I supposed to be surprised she got a round of applause from the media?

Trumps past associates may bring him a lot of trouble but unless you believe paying girls for discretion is against the law, M. Cohen hasn't said anything I know of that matters.

President Trump has been hamstrung by the corruption and malice of the previous administration.

That you type this type of stuff out and it somehow makes sense to you. Yes, that's what Trump is hamstrung by, not himself and the corrupt people he put in place. It's other people.

You took the house and did well in state races. Considering the unprecedented level of hate and dishonesty from the media and democrats, we did well gaining a super majority in the Senate.

Be sure to ask your girlfriends how much of the $900,000 Dr Fraud donates to abused women.

Biggest pickup for the Dems since the Watergate era.

This proves you have memory issues. We went over that multiple times. The NY Times piece led the state of New York starting an investigation. It's not something that's going to happen overnight.

Anything else happening today beside Trump having a meltdown on Twitter along with his supporters here. Nothing more from Trump, probably getting a refill on his pep pills.

Let's not forget, 5 more days. That will be the big story next week. Will Trump fold and shutdown the government, aka, TrumpShutdown, right in time for the holidays.

Again, you are not following. Do you even know for what Cohen has been sentenced ?
At least, the guy takes full responsibility for his actions, including lying to cover the Potus.

This is the man who once said he would take a bullet for Trump, guess what he just did. This is what happens when you mingle with people who break the law. You take a bullet, and they use you like an expendable.

 

[dande]

LMFAO!
You just saw how much "the entire America is with him" in 2018. All the red seats turning blue.

The last time I checked, Trump was not a congressman neither was he in the ballot in 2018

 

[mr-x]

.. he obstructs justice and discredits institutions

That's a step up from traitorous sociopath

A majority in the House but loosing seats in the Senate is the biggest pickup for dem's since Watergate.

California passed a law so democrats could run against other democrats to the exclusion of Republicans. Then Democrats spent three weeks screaming about voter fraud that that four week earlier insisted didn't exist.

We Went Over This ™

After record loses for six years, it shouldn't be a surprise democrats were able to win a few seats back. You should be thanking President Trump. If not for him, you would have lost seats in the house too.

Required television watching is last weeks @marthamaccallum interview with the wonderful wife of Rod Blagojevich and the @trish_regan interview with a Jerome Corsi. If that doesn’t tell you something about what has been going on in our Country, nothing will. Very sad!

“It looks here as though General Flynn’s defenses are incidental to something larger which is for the prosecution to figure out if it can find a path to Donald Trump without quite knowing what that crime might be. It stops looking like prosecution and more looking like......

....a persecution of the President.” Daniel Henninger, The Wall Street Journal. Thank you, people are starting to see and understand what this Witch Hunt is all about. Jeff Sessions should be ashamed of himself for allowing this total HOAX to get started in the first place!

Why are you answering your own post?

 

[mr-x]

Do you believe this? Young adults attending "adulting" classes?

I think this is a publicity stunt but for some reason CBS thought it was good time filler or something.

Yeah, you just posted pics of Al Capone b/c that's what the other kids were doing.

Definitely a result of parenting failure!

It's not a publicity stunt. I'm constantly amazed at what the younger members of my staff are clueless about and that I knew/understood/had skill to do before I was out of single digits (or teens at the latest). But then again I never received any participation awards...

 

[JB Lions]

Yeah, you just posted pics of Al Capone b/c that's what the other kids were doing.

Not only did we go over this multiple times, I literally went over it yet again, and then you quoted it:

The NY Times piece led the state of New York starting an investigation. It's not something that's going to happen overnight.

And you still don't get it. You had a week's worth of dumb posting on a Sunday. Get some fresh air. Learn to pace yourself.

 

[TestCase]

Are you pretending the current President is a drug dealer?

Nope!

Any reason why you think I should? Something you know that we don't?

(But he could be Batman because I've never seen the two of them in the same room together....)

I'm not buying into the persistent claims the "end id near" for Trump.

You're absolutely right about that!

If charges are brought, it will be a lonnnnnnnng drawn out process getting it all through the legal system.

AND then there will be all the appeals. I should have grand kids by then so I can catch them up on what they missed

‘Macron… WHAT?’ French TV channel ‘censors’ photo of Yellow Vest protester’s placard (PHOTOS)
TV channel France3 has “fixed” a placard held by a Yellow Vest protester, which urged President Emmanuel Macron to resign. The broadcaster explained that the sign was broadcast reading just Macron, due to a “human error.”
The unfortunate blunder occurred on Saturday during an evening news program that was covering the ongoing Yellow Vest protests.

Among videos and images of the protests, France3 featured a photo supplied by Agence France Presse (AFP). It shows a couple of mounted police officers watching the crowds outside the Opera building in Paris on Saturday. One of the Yellow Vests holds high a placard, reading “Macron out.” Here’s the original photo.

Everything was the same in the France3 broadcast, except for a ‘tiny’ detail – the “out” part of the slogan had mysteriously vanished from the image.

The photo-doctoring did not escape sharp-eyed watchers, who promptly accused the broadcaster of “censorship.” The replay of the program is publicly available online, and France3 acknowledged the blunder, blaming it on a “mistake.”

“There was no intent to hide the sign last night. It's a human mistake,” the broadcaster tweeted, supplying the unmodified image. “We have identified the source. It will not happen again.”

Is this the best excuse these Liberal Fake News MF's have for falsifying news?

They are bad, but partly because the tax revenue isn't managed equitably and the state has screwed a lot of things up in the past. We've been through decades of administrative sh*tshows - Republican and Democrat alike. Our school tax is so high where I live because we get virtually nothing back from the state from income tax revenue, whereas some other towns get a lot of it (and don't produce impressive results despite the extra money). There have been tax fairness movements to try to equalize what towns pay in and what we get back, but so far none have gotten off the ground.

I have to admit we have very good schools around here ...

The concept of public tax funds paying for public education is sound, even though the way its done around here is a dumpster fire. Doesn't need to be scrapped, but badly needs to be fixed.

Good Schools and basic education focused on the “3 R’s”... (to date myself) is very important, yes and even illegal aliens kids should be educated in esl and at taxpayer expense. Uneducated people only become liabilities. Too much administration, not enough good teachers seems to have always been the historic issue. All this talk of teaching diversity, inclusion, bullying and non-core education diverts away from the reason for going to school.

I am a product of a lousy formal public inner city education, which I remain critical of, and have spent my entire life after high school working overtime and learning through self education, self motivation and by “doing”.. things and study, reading, etc. some of the smartest people I have met were the same.

When I continually criticize Government it isnt necessarily partisan. I don’t like Politicians or most Government period, city, state or federal. Not sure if you have ever had Govt contracts or were an outside contractor, but I really thought with all my experiences the joke “pareto principle” applied to large organizations should be changed for Govt from 80/20 to 95/5.. lol. (5% competence level). My last interaction was a few years ago, some pompous DC purchasing agent wanted to force me to review and comply with this huge FAR contract from new Obama era regulations covering nonsense for a $2700 equipment repair. Like as if I was building Space Station components with Slave labor. I spent a couple hours reading this mess and refused the PO as a waste of my time. The OEM got the direct sale instead and were angry at all the overreach and time drain, wouldn’t pay my puny commission even. After that, I removed my CAGE, poof... done with Govt business.

I have had past business associates in NJ, they were smart people doing innovative things in specialized vision and robotics in the early 90’s, way before it became a buzzword. You have Edison and ATT/Bell Labs, etc lots of smart people there. No idea why NJ is so expensive as I don’t live there.

TrumpShutdown, right in time for the holidays.

The military is funded, lots of non essential services. But they all get paid anyway, so vacation days. This shutdown talk is complete b.s., so what if museums and national parks get shutdown for a couple days.

Knife skills? How ridiculous. I believe it. These are the coddled, the spoiled, the “participation” grade people, probably from CA. Now that the boy scouts allow in these girls in the soon to be bankrupt “Scouts”, they could have learned something about using knives there. I recall cooking on a flat rock in the desert w no utensils.

They were probably from SF, you see this mourning the death of their robots holding a candle light vigil.

POWELL: New Facts Indicate Mueller Destroyed Evidence, Obstructed Justice
https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/16/mueller-destroyed-evidence/

Has refused to turn over original documents regarding Flynn interviews. Even defying a judge, the right for a defendant to see evidence against him.

Shameful but telling that liberals aren't upset about this.
