    Sure. If the head of said organization brought someone in specifically to shake things up, such behavior would not only be tolerated, but expected.

    But they cannot name and install their own criminal investigation special prosecutor, as claimed.

    That's Politics 101. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Refuse to scratch my back, and I'll claw yours.

    The Trump Card...

    Congress does indeed have the power to investigate. That power isn't explicit in the Constitution, but the Supreme Court said, "They have to be able to conduct investigations in order to create laws, duh!" (not an actual quote) They have the power to investigate and gather information on the...

    The Trump Card...

    They have. But none of them have been named and deployed by Congress. The Constitution makes quite clear that one branch of government creates the laws, another branch enforces the laws, and a third branch adjudicates the constitutionally of the laws. The various laws created by the Legislative...

    The Trump Card...

    There needs to be some kind of high crime, or high misdemeanor, of which there has been no evidence thus far. Lots of very creative, wishful thinking, though. At this point all they've really got is, "I don't like him, he Tweets too much, he's orange, and I'm butthurt because he won the election."

    The Trump Card...

    Congress could certainly write up and overwhelming pass a bill establishing a particular individual as a special prosecutor, but first they'd have to set the Constitution on fire and let it burn completely to ashes. It would be much easier and quicker to impeach the president than it would be...

    The Fake News Depot

    Does anybodu else think it's funny (and/or annoying) when people in the "conservative" media (they mostly all do it, but I'm looking at you Hannity) talk about Hillary and they bring up the deleted emails, they cannot do so without mentioning that she used BleachBit, as if that's in any way...

    Thanks to the stage you have set and the criteria you will use, I predict you will be 100% correct in your vision.

    Thanks, but I just don't have a burning passion for lowered soot and NOx emissions studies.

    "It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President." They know who they are.

    Best coolers?

    Coffee is currently just a hair under 5 cents per 8 ounces. So, 24 ounces you're looking at about 15 cents. A 24 ounce cup and lid, add another 9.5 cents. Tea is about the same cost as coffee, a tad less, but basically the same. As for the lines, on those online PFJ surveys, I regularly praise...

    Wondering whatever happened to this great idea!

    Not seeing the blatant hatred. Maybe I'm not reading enough into it. In any case, the fastest growing immigrant segments are those from the Asia-Pacific region (38 percent, same as Latin America and the Carribean), followed by Sub-Saharan Africa (9 percent), and then the Middle East - North...

    Best coolers?

    More than once, several times, I've gotten ice and a refill while standing right next to an employee who is cleaning up around the fountain station, and then a few minutes later that same employee is the one who checks me out at the register. Still wasn't charged for the refill. More than once...

    ?? EnerBurn (DPF) ??

    Thanks for the information. I do not claim to be an expert on EnerBurn, nor a chemist (although I am relatively well schooled in chemistry, albeit a long time ago). If my information is incorrect, it is because the California Air Resource Board, the University of Minnesota, and the US Bureau of...

    The Trump Card...

    Pretty nifty. I like how you did that. You have managed to set the stage so that if, at any time in the future, Trump lashes out at any targer for any reason, you can claim he is doing so because of his internal rage at being hamstrung by Congress in his foreign policy dealings with these...

    The Trump Card...

    Incidentally, the term Super-narc, or Super-narcissist has been a listing in the Urban Dictionary for several years. And speaking of Tapper, it's on YouTube, his Sunday morning interview with Scaramucci. It signals a whole new world in how the White House communications team will be interacting...

    Best coolers?

    If you use their cup for ice, even if you use it just to fill your cooler and then throw the cup away, you gotta pay for that cup of ice. Not only is there a cost associated with the cup, missing cups (from the register and thus from inventory) have a dramatic effect on the bookkeeping numbers...

    The Trump Card...

    Or, as is actually the case, he's musing aloud about his power to pardon in direct response to media reports that cite the ubiquitous and ever chatty unnamed sources that he asked his legal team about his power to pardon individuals including himself. It's not like he just started tweeting about...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, in the general sense, a pardon is nothing more than a kind indulgence that is asked for and usually given for some minor offense or discourtesy, or for the tolerance of some minor distraction or inconvenience. Fart at the dinner table and it's "Pardon me! I'm sorry." Stop someone on the...
