    The Trump Card...

    This is epic, on so any levels. Not the least of which is one reporter, a security editor at the Times, thought it was security-worthy enough to Tweet about it, and another reporter thinks is should be the story's lede, in the Food and Drink/Food Culture section of Esquire. Trump Has a Button...

    Yeah, he said it was taken out of context. Well, no, not really/ He delivered it out of context.

    The Trump Card...

    I'm aware. He left it in control of an independent trustee, who mismanaged the farm and warehouse, and when Carter took it back over he found he was a million dollars in debt. He noted at the time that in hindsight he wouldn't have put it in the blind trust, since president's are exempt from the...

    The Trump Card...

    Lost in this conversation is the 270% tariff Canada places on imported milk, and the introduction last year of a high tariff on unfiltered milk (used to make cheese and other dairy products) imported from the US, a tariff which was increased again last week.

    The Trump Card...

    Yes, it was a true blind trust, that he retained ownership of, and took back control upon exiting the White House.

    So you think Mexico will change their attitude and just cut a check? Just kidding. You may be right about some backlash. I think there will be some (there already has been some on the notion of 20% or whatever being slapped on imports). But the reality is, Mexico needs us way more than we...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump's holding a big rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, same night as the White House Correspondents Dinner. “I feel bad, because a lot of White House reporters are going to have to go and cover that and not come to our own dinner,” Julie Mason says. “It’s one thing for him to stay...

    The Trump Card...

    The Emoluments Clause has never been directly litigated, but it has been interpreted and enforced through a long series of opinions of the Attorneys General, and by less-frequent opinions of the Comptrollers General. Congress has also exercised its power of "Consent" under the clause by enacting...

    The Fake News Depot

    There's a lot of validity to that article, but too much of the problem is blamed on geography rather than honesty. One of the early paragraphs dismisses in a disingenuous manner one of the main problems with that bubble. The problem here, is that the "knowing-bias charge" charge not only added...

    I dunno. When you factor in the cost of Lays potato chips and Oreo cookies, it might be a wash.

    The Trump Card...

    I can't think of anything Trump can do at this point that isn't considered a conflict of interest by someone on the Left. People think if the president owns a hotel and a representative of a foreign government stays there, it's an emolument. It's not. If the president own a convenience store...

    I have little doubt that Mexico will pay for the wall, eventually. I mean, they're not gonna write a check and say, "Here ya go, Amigo," but but in reduced aid from the US, in seized remittances, increased tariffs, lots of ways.

    The offended continue..

    I dunno. Monuments are things that generally reflect the values of those who erect them, values that may or may not stand the test of time. Some of the monuments genuinely represent history, others not so much. Many of the Civil War era monuments aren't monuments to history as much as they are...

    Team Looking for Cargo Van/Sprinter work OTR

    Well, they already know it. At least they think they do. "We both have experience in the field." Unfortunately, everything about their thread title and post screams OTR General Trucking, not expediting. They have a rude awakening coming when they find out expediting is, like, toootally...

    "I thought he was weird and creepy, not someone I liked." See? The difference between whether or not she thinks you're cute. One woman's weird and creepy is another woman's cute stud hunk muffin.

    Yes, I did. Sorry about that. And thanks. I had just read an article on Tucker and guess I still had him on my mind.

    Scary experiences

    Delivering to UNC Chappell Hill while wearing a UK Basketball t-shirt was scarier than I thought it would be. I've delivered to the hood a few times in various cities that was certainly uncomfortable, Newark, NJ in particular, where everything not moving had either graffiti or bullet holes in...

    dispatch

    This forum, like most other well established forums, is pretty good at self-moderating. Things that clearly violate the rules and cause disruption, or will lead to disruption, get called out pretty quickly by members of the community,either in public or by reporting the posts to the staff.

    Sean Hannity Accused of Sexually Harassing Fox News Contributor

    He clearly is. That leaked email proved Media Matters was behind an orchestrated effort to bring down O'Reilly (not that O'Reilly is pure as the driven snow or anything), but over the last couple of weeks Media Matters have become obsessed with Tucker. Then, suddenly, Debbie Schlussel accuses...

    Liberals, and The Press, would like nothing more than to see Fox News simply go away.
