    The Trump Card...

    Vote: Should ICE stay out of N.J. courthouses? Interesting results. Not surprising, though.

    The Trump Card...

    Every single Republican House member who has been in Congress for more than 4 years need to be taken out to the wood shed and paddled to the point where they can't sit down for weeks. 7 years, and the best they can come up with is a rabbit raisinette.

    Without chemicals, life itself would be impossible. (that's an old slogan of The Ultimate Merchant of Death, Monsanto)

    The Trump Card...

    That's the right answer. It's not a numbers game. Every president and congress is different. Every time is different, with very different issues facing the nation at any given First 100 Days. The Press likes the numbers (including the 100 Days number) because it lets them toss out easily...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah... "Less then other Presidents before" I like that. It's absolutely true. There were, in fact, other presidents that signed more legislation into law. Two of them - Truman and Roosevelt. First 100 days, bills signed into action: Trump - only 28 Obama - 11 Bush Jr - 7 Clinton - 24 Bush...

    The Fake News Depot

    According to the Fake News Media (you know, CNN, NYT, etc.,) hardly any of the New England Patriots showed up at the White House this year. Yeah, well.....

    The Trump Card...

    Exactly. A lot of the time the source isn't necessarily a measure of factual bias, but rather a bias in which stories they choose to carry, and the angle they take on the story. When you listen to Fox News and CNN for 5 or 6 hours, flipping back and forth between them, the choice of stories to...

    Now you get to broaden your horizons. :D When I'm driving down the toad I'll flip back and forth on SXM between CNN, Fox News, Fox Headline News, and I try to catch Julie Mason's Press Pool on POTUS, either live between 3-6 PM, or when it's re-aired between midnight at 3AM. I avoid at all...

    The Trump Card...

    Excellent, the classic ad hominem logical fallacy. Look, I'll quote from The Village Voice, The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, or even BuzzFeed, if it's accurate. Any source needs to be skeptically taken into account when dealing with a brokering of the news, nothing should be accepted at face...

    I do like The Five when Watters and Beckel are on there. I like Gutfeld in bits and pieces, but he's hard to take in a constant diet. Too much of a partisan homer for my tastes. Kimberly Guilfoyle is very smart, and very easy on the eyes, but if you pinch her nose she'd go silent. (she's a...

    Looks like they're moving Tucker up an hour (not a surprise there), and they're Dolly Parton-ish-ing The Five to nine. Watters and Beckel would be hilarious together. :grinning:

    The Trump Card...

    (this post moved to this thread, from another thread, because of a combination of poster idiocy and a smartphone) Here's an interesting piece regarding former CIA head Brennan. When confirmations surfaced of routine, wide-scale unmasking of names of those of the Trump team, my initial gut...

    Welcome to the No Job Zone. Edit: FWIW, I think Dana Perino is more than capable to host that time slot. And she knows what she's talking about. I can also see them moving up The Tuck an hour and then put Perino in an hour later. I just hope they don't bring in the Beady Eyed Little Weasel...

    Consignee rejected load because seal was missing.

    Of course it can be entered as evidence. It happens all the time. And in many cases, it is conclusive. If wife records her husband admitting he cheated on her, he's screwed. If someone gets recorded admitting they robbed a bank, they're going to jail. Audio evidence is subject to the sane...

    Consignee rejected load because seal was missing.

    In most cases, that's incorrect. It depends on the state in which the recording took place. Eleven states require the consent of every party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut...

    The Trump Card...

    Easy though it may be, I'm not sure the Washington Post is the credible arbiter of Trump's credibility. The former Trump supporters who have jumped off the train are largely the alt-right wacko fringe and do not represent Trump or his agenda. The are a small an insignificant species. Here's a...

    Apparently there was some kind of gas leak underground. I haven't really read anything on it, so I don't know.

    I-85 is closed through downtown Atlanta, and now this happened to I-20, inbound from the East. I've gone through Atlanta five times in the last week.
