The Dem's Russia Gate included.

Still awaiting the specific criminal allegations which were committed, and the specific accusers regarding Trump.

How about this one reported in NYT at beginning of this month. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/us/politics/trumps-female-accusers-feel-forgotten-a-lawsuit-may-change-that.html?_r=0

If you do buy it, you should read it.

BTW: Why don't you read various sides of issues?

I recommend the following to broaden your information and beliefs.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com

I am willing to believe that I probably have more News sites bookmarked than most. My bookmark list for news sites is about 25% longer than can be shown on the screen, vert res 1440. Quite a few that I read are behind paywalls, so I tend to only link those that are internationally recognised and that I know people can actually get to. i.e. I don't link to WSJ or the FT which I read daily.
I've had RCP bookmarked for about 3 years and a lot of what they list I've probably already read.

edit] I even have Fox News and Breitbart London bookmarked.

Every time a halfway serious discussion starts the usual suspects start turning it into a personal vendetta or attack."


Ah, there lies the semblance of the underlying truth of these forums.
The main non-medical reason for my not joining in on discussions came from the realization that hours of arguing amounted to a grand total of 'ZERO' when one tries to count the people changing their minds.
These threads become nothing more than monologues directed at those who cannot, or will not, alter their thinking when new evidence is presented.

So, everyone, rage at the foolishness of others while never contemplating one's own role in this pointless exercise.

I've purposely stayed off these threads for several days, and SURPRISE!......The world didn't end, Trump didn't sell the White House to Russia, and no one found the WOW!

Gotta agree with Robert, it's all just a lot of mental masturbation......

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2017/11/15/Worlds-richest-1-percent-now-own-more-than-half-of-worlds-wealth-Report/8221510721543/?utm_source=fp&utm_campaign=lh&utm_medium=8
Nov. 14 (UPI) -- The world's wealthiest 1 percent got 8 percent richer since the 2008 financial crisis and now own more wealth than half of the world's wealth, according to a Credit Suisse report released Tuesday.

"The share of the top 1 percent has been on an upward path ever since [the crisis], passing the 2000 level in 2013 and achieving new peaks every year thereafter," the bank's annual report said, adding: "global wealth inequality has certainly been high and rising in the post-crisis period."

The quickest wealth spurt happened over the past 12 months, with the top 1 percent boosting their value by 6 percent to a total of $280 trillion. That brings the top 1 percent's wealth to 50.1 percent of the entire world.

"So far, the Trump presidency has seen businesses flourish and employment grow, though the ongoing supportive role played by the Federal Reserve has undoubtedly played a part here as well, and wealth inequality remains a prominent issue," said Michael O'Sullivan, chief investment officer for International Wealth Management at Credit Suisse, according to CNBC.

Winners

Big corporations. America's mega companies get a big tax cut: From 35 percent down to 20 percent. Yes, the lower rate doesn't kick in until 2019, a one-year delay from what Trump promised, but it's still coming. These businesses also get to deduct any new equipment purchases right away, another tax savings. And the whole business tax system shifts from worldwide (where income anywhere in the world gets taxed) to a territorial system (where income only in the U.S. is taxed), something corporations have wanted to see change for a long time.

Many small businesses. The vast majority of America's businesses (about 95 percent) are organized as “pass through” entities like partnerships, sole proprietorships and S-Corporations. Under the Senate plan, most “pass throughs” would be able to deduct 17.4 percent of their income tax free. The rest of the business income would be taxed at the business owner's individual income tax rate. Service businesses (i.e., law, finance or medicine) that earn more than $75,000 ($150,000 per married couple) would not be able to take the deduction. The National Federation of Independent Business said it was “encouraged” by the Senate plan that “includes real tax relief” for small businesses.

The wealthy. The rich get a tax cut from 39.6 percent to 38.5 percent. They also get some expanded tax breaks in the Senate GOP plan. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) goes away and they can deduct more of their charitable giving. Families making up to $1 million can also claim the child tax credit, well above the current $110,000 threshold where the credit starts to phase out now. The Senate plan would, however, keep part of the estate tax, but we'll get to that later.

People with homes worth $500,000 to $1 million. Under the Senate plan, Americans can deduct the interest paid on the first $1 million of mortgage debt. The House bill capped the deduction for new mortgage debt worth up to $500,000. The current threshold is $1 million, and the Senate keeps that in place, a boost to home builders, real estate agents and wealthy homeowners. Only 6 percent of U.S. mortgages are worth more than half a million.

Is lube covered by Obama Care? Maybe that's why they want to repeal, with their plans they know they can't afford the bill for it.

How Donald Trump is making things worse in the Middle East.

We Europeans aren’t happy at all.
So far, at least, the United States has decided to focus on fighting extremism and checking Iran. The best way to achieve these aims, the White House has decided, is by deepening its previous reliance on its regional allies, Saudi Arabia and Israel, to the exclusion of just about everything else.
It should come as little surprise that both Riyadh and Tel Aviv are thrilled by the shift. Both countries are busily using their influence with Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner to push their advantages as far as possible.

As I have repeatedly observed. Both sides have lost the moral and ethical foundation to attack the other.


There are no "sides"... Moore, Franken, Weinstein et al. are individuals, did not do what they are accused of through political affiliation, and do not have the support of their respective parties for these actions. The only issue is whether the allegations are true and consequently they as individuals deserve their positions due to these actions.

..Good luck with the Expanding and Lawless Empires of Russia and China...

Recent history (the last 60yrs or so) shows that your government and its polices have created most of the problems that we as a World face today (about time you guys man up about it too).

..Good luck with the Expanding and Lawless Empires of Russia and China...

They havn't really proven themselves to be any worse.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
--- George Santayana

Then why are you guys just repeating it then?

“The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”
--- Harry S Truman

And it seems that some of you are so scared about facing that new direction that you just want to keep repeating all that you want to ever know (or do you guys have some vested interest in keeping the old "War Machine" running, even in the face of causing bigger/future problems?). :-(

No cheers here.

Have a theory about that. The right is so terrified of anything new they force the status quo no matter how terrible it is. It is what they know, so they are not terrified of it. Explains lots of things from their denial of AGW to their denial of Darwin. They permit nothing to change, except their shorts.

We Europeans aren’t happy at all.

a) When have you ever been happy with America?(Oh yeah, when we're spending lives bailing your butts out of a war.)

b) Try to imagine.......how little we care................about European opinion. We rejected Europeanism in 1776 and again in 1812.
Go peddle your opinion to someone outside of Europe who cares what 'Europe opines'.

In the world scheme of things there is China, Russia and America.......Europe is irrelevant. If not YOU take over funding NATO and defend yourselves.

Trump has made it clear......No more free or heavily subsidized lunch on the American Taxpayer we've got our own sins to pay for and our own children to look after 1st.

The problem of Europe are the Europeans. A bunch of different country, language and of different ethnicities. The politics of EU wants create the United States of Europe. Utopia! We were always in war with us. Unlike the United States where at least one language is spoken, you have a central government and a single currency, here things work differently. Germany wants the command, France tries to take a place of privilege.
Don't speak about Italy. Greece? Bankrupt. Spain? Problem with Catalonia. UK? They said ''Good bye''. East European countries? They have a much lower salary than Western Europeans. They are anti-russian and have entered the EU for pure political interest.

In the world scheme of things there is China, Russia and America.......Europe is irrelevant. If not YOU take over funding NATO and defend yourselves.


Because the EU Parliament and Council are slow to understand, they are stupid. If they were more serious they would understand that we could become an economic power. They believe that the United States is to break the problems.
