    exact wrong time to be proposing a $1 trillion federal infrastructure stimulus bill

    I saw this in the Nov. 11 Chicago Tribune: A recent paper by Trump advisers calls for using federal tax credits to generate $1 trillion in private sector infrastructure investment over a decade. To offset the cost of the credits, U.S. corporations would be encouraged to bring home profits...

    Islam doesn't belong in a civilized country

    Muslims will have to get special permits to buy alcohol then. I expect there will be opposition from the liquor lobby.:D

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    Neither did you "see" me attacking Trump --I did that in other posts!. I used the term "minority president," correctly of course, to refer to the outcome of the popular vote. That term would not, and could not, apply to the electoral college. Donald Trump is the third most unpopular minority...

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    Your holiness, it seems there is some confusion here. By consensus, I am not meaning the vote in the electoral college.:rolleyes: I am beginning to believe I might have erred when I said you seemed bright. My post had nothing whatsoever to do with who won the election. On that there is...

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    I was my understanding that those riots had to do with local issues, rather than Federal. But the same principles hold in both cases. In the case of local issues, e.g. Ferguson, it is the local government that had better heed the warnings. In fact didn't the Feds have to step in to calm the...

    Perhaps you thought that by "minority" I meant Bush was Asian American or Ute Indian? Let me clarify for you.:D https://www.britannica.com/event/United-States-presidential-election-of-2000

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    Your remark about those with Facebook accounts made me chuckle. I have one incognito, and am careful never to post anything personal, or much of anything of substance. I keep it so young friends can get in touch with me via Facebook if they know my pseudonym. I don't see any evidence that...

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    I realized after I posted the above that it doesn't make sense as a response to the portion of wildchild's post that I quoted, to whom I apologize for truncating his post excessively. Please see wildchild's original post. In that post wildchild remarked that Trump's detractors had claimed that...

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    In my memory this kind of reaction to varying degrees is common on both sides of the political spectrum. Anyone claiming that Trump's refusal to concede is unprecedented is skating on thin ice. Certainly the national response to Trumps election, while perhaps unprecedented in modern times, is...

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    I would suggest remaining a little circumspect here. The "news" you refer to, if I'm correct, wasn't initially from any credible news organization, but from a Trump Tweet!!!! Haven't we all learned by now, no matter what our political persuasion, that Trump's tweets may be based on...

    Why Doesn't the Left believe in the peaceful transfer of power?

    You're referring to the Russian business. I understand that. I also understand why it would be good for Russia and the Western Countries and their allies in other parts of the world (Japan) to have more cordial relations with the Russian Government. To that end, it still wouldn't make sense...

    Trump wants huge to cut State Dept. Budget!

    From Bloomberg : Editorial Board Rex Tillerson: Show Up for Human Rights Invisible from Foggy Bottom? Photographer: Spencer Platt/Getty Images 90 March 3, 2017 3:01 PM EST In another year or another administration, the absence of a cabinet official at a press conference would merit no...

    Doom or BOOM ??

    The market and billionaires are going to do great in the coming years, as is the U.S. economy. Trumps buddies will do very well, but the laid off workers who voted for him, not so good. The boys and girls killed in Trumps wars won't have to worry about a thing. The champagne corks have already...

    CNN Van Jones - Trump Became President last night

    I'm not ready to accept that Trump has suddenly stopped lying. I found no evidence in his speech that he had stopped. In fact, to the contrary. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/yemen-seal-raid-yielded-no-significant-intelligence-say-officials-n726451 I can not accept the behavior of...

    Holy....that was...quite a press conference.

    :confused: I have always been puzzled by your screwball ideas. Probably came from reading too much Breitbart. The ACA is screwed up because of the Solid Block of Elephants and their resolve to ruin any initiative coming from Obama, even a thoroughly Republican initiative like O'Romneycare. :D

    Holy....that was...quite a press conference.

    It's not in Obamacare. Could have been. might have been, Should have been. Same way public option should have been. If a pig had wings and was hollow, a pig could fly. The ACA is silent on MF. It is not in there. It is going to require legislation to get around that. An executive order is...

    Holy....that was...quite a press conference.

    You are, as always it seems, wrong. The ACA had no chance to succeed as initially intended without repealing MF. The house voted for repeal, or if I remember to make it not apply to health insurance, early in the ACA adoption process. Obviously the House realized it was essential to get the...

    Holy....that was...quite a press conference.

    It seems, for a variety of reasons, the goal of providing affordable access to routine medical care for everyone in the U.S. is a goal that is incompatible with our current, private-sector-government partnership; a partnership which has resulted in Cartel-like, health care delivery. I find...
