    The Trump Card...

    I think he enjoys watching liberals become devout conspiracy theorists.

    Error!

    Probably the latter one. Redis is an open source, in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker. That error is due to a lack of disk space (unlikely on that server) or a lack of RAM memory (more likely). The IT dude needs to take a look at the running database...

    The Trump Card...

    Apparently, people think Bill Gates personally writes the code for Windows, and James Comey personally handles all FBI investigations.

    The Trump Card...

    I think Trump should nominate Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke for FBI Director. I mean, he's already got his own giant bobblehead.

    The Trump Card...

    Comey held a news conference to "release derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal investigation." Even at the time, I though that was perhaps the most bizarre thing I've ever seen come out of Washington. The whole thing was just bizarre - to detail how scummy she was and...

    The Trump Card...

    "Long shot" and "open question" aren't mutually exclusive. The fact that the Supreme Court hasn't given a definitive ruling specifically on the matter makes it an open question, sure, but the fact that Supreme Court has ruled that States cannot impose qualifications for prospective members of...

    The Trump Card...

    Without question. These days, most any legislative Act has to have a catchy anagram. Ted Cruz introduced a bill to seize El Chapo's rumored funds (not a dime of which has ever been located, BTW) and use the money to pay for the border wall. The act is called the Ensuring Lawful Collection of...

    The Trump Card...

    Correct, we're not talking privacy, we're talking First Amendment (association) and Fourteenth Amendment (due process) for otherwise qualified candidates. Ballot access laws cannot include things like a literacy test, property ownership, race, religion, or even that a candidate have a job which...

    The Trump Card...

    He doesn't file a personal return, and then a business return for each of his businesses, he just files the one return with all of his business income and losses detailed within the one return. Trump Organization, LLC. It's what allows him to offset income from one business with losses from...

    The Trump Card...

    Yep, everybody knows that. And he got elected anyway. What the Trump-haters are desperately after is some kind of financial ties to Russia, ideally a revenue line item in between the Trump Istanbul Hotel, Turkey and Trump World Golf Club Dubai, UAE that shows a gazillion dollar payment from...

    The Trump Card...

    The sources of all of his income would be listed. That, they say, will show if any of his income derived from foreign sources which could show a conflict of interest.

    The Trump Card...

    You seem to be advocating for the "because I want it really, really badly, I should therefore have it," argument. It doesn't break down simply because someone was a candidate and is now the president. There is no question that the private lives of candidates and elected officials (and their...

    Movie list

    It evolved from the original "Alien" (1979) movie, directed by Ridley Scott, which is really good, not your typical sci-fi horror movie (although it is in the same vein as "Thing" where alien lifeform goes through the crew one-by-one). The Alien and the accompanying elements were designed by...

    The Trump Card...

    Back to our regularly scheduled Trump Card... In the first 100 days of his presidency, Obama was sued 26 times, Bill Clinton 15, and Jr Bush 7. Thus far, Donald J Trump has been sued 134 times. No, seriously, 134 times. You know, the cities suing over a plan to withhold funds from...

    A few years ago on The Big Bang Theory television show, Bernadette had a great line. Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Amy and Raj are all university research scientists, while Bernadette works for big pharmaceutical company, and Penny is a waitress/aspiring actress (Penny has since become a sales rep...

    The Trump Card...

    Not sure what we disagree on, since I agree with that 100 percent. Well, yes and no. They've seen what a mandated market will bear. Obamacare, affectionately known as the Affordable Care Act, nearly instantly made healthcare un-affordable. By introducing federal money (otherwise known as "free...

    The Trump Card...

    Interesting, and he said that for the same reasons that I believe that's where we're headed with it. I had it in there but deleted it out of my post above (and I've posted it here in the past), that the only other alternative would be to repeal Obamacare, and then stop right there and don't do...

    The Trump Card...

    That's it exactly. People (liberals ,anti-Trumpers) say they want to get all up in his tax returns so they can find potential conflicts of interest, you know, for the good of the country, and democracy, and, of course, for the children, but what they really want is to get all up in his business...

    The Trump Card...

    That still doesn't justify a fishing expedition of requiring him to release his tax returns in the hopes that we can find something in there that can be used to mold, bend, twist and pound into some kind of evidentiary basis to prove bribery or corruption. The President is exempt from federal...
