2000 actually. I've explained this too you repeatedly but you evidently are too slow to remember or understand it.

We had a surplus. BUT because Social Security and other programs are required to take any surplus they have internally and buy treasuries with it, it causes the actual debt to go up. We actually had a surplus even without the social security surplus.

It's essentially like spending $20,000 on a credit card even though your paycheck was $100,000. Sure, your actual debt went up $20,000 technically but you still have a surplus of income.

Is it really that hard for you to understand? If so, please don't vote. You aren't smart enough.

"My boss got mad at me for sexting with a married man on a company phone while we were also plotting against him, and now I'm emotionally disturbed," doesn't seem like a very solid basis for a lawsuit. Instapundit.

Show me where they plotted against Trump.

And why weren't the pro-Trump texts between some investigators leaked as well? Why are we only finding out about them now?

I guess we should take the GOP approach and demand the entire investigation be re-done with investigators who aren't pro-Trump. Oh, and this time, no Mueller. He is a Republican. We need a Democrat investigating just like a Republican investigated Clinton.

Republicans will believe ANYTHING.

Agreed ... so why continue or go into in any theater of war, where our security isn't at risk?

#3 | POSTED BY ANDREAMACKRIS

And do you assess when our security isn't at risk?

It was leaving the first time without helping the country become self sufficient that let Al Qaeda come in, build training camps, and cause 9/11.

Although I appreciate that you have gone from calling people traitors for not supporting Bush in Afghanistan to becoming an isolationist now that it backfired. Very Republican of you.

I do believe if a man is willing to sign an affidavit willing to be the legal guardian, the courts should block the woman from killing his child and hand over the child when it is born.

Mackris and Senate Republicans show the only two ways Republicans can win elections these days:
1. Lie.
2. Let foreign countries illegally help you.

The article doesn't say that...

In fact, the only major sanctions put on Russia during Trump's term were brought by Congress. Trump begrudgingly signed them and delayed implementing them.

It took a literal act of Congress to FORCE Trump to sanction Russia.

What do you even post anymore?

Left over Bill Clinton turd. Why do the Dems want open borders so badly? They must love all the misery and rapes of kids by the smugglers because they would take action otherwise. Sad day for America.

Did you look at Judge Briones record?

No?

You just say that because you're a useless political hack, a/k/a a Republican?

It's okay. I did look up Briones record. He's not that liberal. He's an experienced Judge with a strong record.

If all you can do is attack the judge without evidence, you need to leave. Go live in a cave somewhere. Don't interact with other people. Don't vote. It's the most patriotic thing a person like you could do for your country.

3 years down the road since Trump became President thereby giving his team access to all the FBI/CIA files and after a watchdog group already investigated but found nothing to suggest "spying" or anything illegal, you think Durham is going to find something incredible?

Good luck with that. Want to re-open Benghazi for a fifth time too?

Actually, on the disclosure form he filled out, he has to claim any guidance or direction from congressional entities or entities other than who he was filing the report with.

Because Trump is a Republican.

Impeachment only applies to Democrats in Avigore World.

Look at all the Republicans who were completely supportive of impeaching Clinton over lying about a sexual encounter who now take the opposite approach with Trump. Hell, even their expert witness yesterday said that Trump can't be impeached unless he committed an actual crime but back in 1998 said Clinton could be impeached regardless of whether he broke the actual law.

This is the Republican Party. There are no rules. There are no laws. It's all about owning the libs and protecting their own.

This is a mistake. They should be pushing for the more top officials to testify and go through the Court process. I'd rather have a trial in June or July with their testimony on the record than have one in January or February without it.

I'm confused. I thought we were safer when "Good Guys" had guns? He's a Navy sailor. Isn't he a good guy?

If not, how do we know who is a good guy and who is a bad guy until they murder someone?

A good start to healing the divide would be for republicans to admit they need to impeach Trump. It would be a huge olive branch from them to the majority of Americans and the rest of the world.

He broke the law. Plain and simple.

His own people are saying it. The people who gave him money and he appointed are saying it.

There is absolutely no evidence existing in the record to the contrary.

There is no common ground in excusing it, covering it up, and attacking witnesses.

You want Democrats to do something? Have them drop some of the charges and capitulate on some of the welfare issues. But don't ask Democrats to excuse illegal conduct and election meddling by the President.

CNN legal analyst and former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara, who was fired by President Trump in 2017, says the news that former FBI agent Peter Strzok allegedly altered or forged a FISA warrant application used against Trump campaign associate Carter Page is "alarming."
"That's kind of an alarming bit of news," Bharara said. "If there was an FBI agent sworn to uphold the constitution who can be proven to have altered a document in connection with a legal proceeding, including the obtaining of a FISA warrant, that's really serious. It doesn't get more serious on that."

#8 | POSTED BY HOMERJ

No. There is an allegation the document was altered. Not that it was forged. And there is no indication how the document was altered or why or if it affected the FISA warrant application.

Nor does it effect all of the findings of the investigation.

In other news: Straw stocks are going through the roof as HomerJ grasps every one of them he can. Supplies seem to be running low.

That's a very great question. Unfortunately, it will meet the same end as does the same statements questioning hypocrisy coming from a Liberal President...meaning you will get nothing but hate from the other side and nothing but misdirection from the side you are arguing against. Rinse, repeat....forever and ever and ever...

#24 | POSTED BY HUMTAKE

Trump broke the law. He literally committed one of the only 2 mentioned crimes in the Constitution warranting Impeachment: Bribery.

It's over. If this were a criminal trial, the evidence would only lead to a conviction.

And the Republicans haven't found a single witness to rebut the claims while the White House tries to stop anyone from testifying.

They didn't say the were rigged. The city and experts had a pretty good reason why the lights are different timings. Do you expect heavy traffic one way should have the same length of greens and reds as perpendicular light traffic? If so, please never go into city planning. Like government, you'd screw it up.

You conveniently picked 20 years ago. In the last ten years, it hasn't come close to beating the S&P. At best, you are at a 2% yearly gain in Gold since 2008.

She had two good ones:

Both true and probably cost her just enough to lose.
The difference of course is that Hillary won the popular vote. Trump won't.
