Having someone rob Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul. Lib wet dream about to come true if this happens. More Socialist redistribution. Thanks Dims!

Milton Friedman supported UBI, but then again he was a stupid lib….
It’s funny, actually. Why is a conservative who disagrees with Lib stances a troll, but all the Dims who voice differing opinion to conservatives, well, they’re paragons of virtue exercising the First Amendment Rights or being the Vocal Opposition? I show Lib/Dim idiocy every day and yall can’t stand it!
You do show something!
I think it’s the use of insults that makes a troll, not any substance of opinions.
Trolls are jerks.
Safe Space, balance…
Are you calling “time out”?
I’m curious about the use of this analogy. Who is Peter and who is Paul? Libs support this because they are Paul? Libs are taking money from rich people and giving it to themselves? That presumes that conservatives are rich and libs are poor? Is that the worldview?
Or perhaps I am over-thinking this.
“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon.” Donald J. Trump telling a meeting of state Governors what he would have done had he been at Parkland.
Trump played football, tennis and squash and was taking up golf when his four college draft deferments ran out in ’68, coincident with what he said during the campaign were “temporary” bone spurs in his heels. His coveted 1-Y medical deferment exempted him from military service at a time when the military was inducting about 300,000 men a year, with many sent to Vietnam.
Maybe Jack Kingston can vouch for Trump’s courage on this one, what with Kingston being so knowledgeable on the motivations for people associated with Parkland and everything.

President SealTeam offers to rappel down the nearest cliff face to take on the next round of school attackers, a display of selfless leadership that must hearten the country’s gun-goobers and their Jack Ryan fantasies. Not everyone can be a covert operator but we can all be prepared citizens.
Tell me, David, did Trump flee his country to avoid the draft and then exchange letters with the draft board where he mentioned “loathing the military?” Just curious…
Impeach Bill Clinton!
Bone spurs. 5 times.
Or maybe to T and A at the ready.
and those bone spurs. darn.

Of course I use San Marzano tomatoes…

…I had a feeling.
I have also been following Food 52 for years.
Even better to grow your own.
That can apply to all sorts of personal “crops!”
Even better, by them from your local farmers. I turn them into all sorts of good stuff. However if I need a nice sweet no sugar added, light, low acidic sauce I pop open a can of Cento San Marzano.
Example, make your favorite homemade meatballs, brown them up so they have a crust, not fully cooked, put them in a Dutch oven with some garlic slices, fresh basil and cover with a can or two of un-drained San Marzano tomatoes you hand crushed, maybe a parm rein, slash of wine, simmering away low and slow – your taste buds will thank you. You don’t need sugar or salt. I don’t even need pasta.
Teri, thanks for hosting this meeting! I just don’t understand how people can complain about the ATL board governance when we have failed to have robust transit here in Cobb. What can Cobb do better now and if they could do better, why hasn’t it been done?
Final point, I explain it as a type of investment. Atlanta, Fulton County, and DeKalb were the original venture capitalists for the transit system. Now it has gone public. We can still buy in and obtain results, but the original investors already have a lot of the stock. No one is losing here.
Thanks again for hosting the meeting, it was very interesting and informative.
TRUMP: I’M IN FOR 2020!
Who yall gonna run against him who’s less than 80 and has a chance?
The campaign head quarters has been open and located in Trump Tower since last August. The RNC is renting just their space for $37,541.67 a month per FEC filings. The Trump Presidential Campaign spent more then $470,000 on rent for their space last year per their FEC filing.
Thanks for that trip into the administrative weeds. Now, more importantly, who are yall gonna run that has a realistic chance of winning?
I don’t vote party, I vote person and issues. I vote Republican in the 2016 primary.
Too soon to really tell at this point. The 2018 elections will help clarify the weeds. Their is also talk of a third party of never Trumpers and moderate Democrats who say the are not going to form one, but they keep showing up at the same places at the same time…
We’re trying to not settle on anyone until the last minute. That way the Russians can’t focus and have to spread their efforts around. At the last minute, _____ _______ will pop up and all the pretenders will withdraw and support The Candidate.
It’s just the ordinary Dem strategic organization and brilliant coordination that we’re known for.
After all of that, you suggesting Hillary, again, Drew?
Don’t they have any liquor there Noway? Everyplace has some variation of grappa, right? Go get some and chill out.
CNN had Michael Williams on to discuss the Delta issue. Did the other candidates not take the call, or did they purposely want him because he’s the kookiest?
His whole argument was that Planned Parenthood members (or other “leftist” organizations) get Delta discounts, so why not those on the right? Idk who gets what discounts, but the whole exchange seemed to miss any valid point to me.
No surprise. Williams’ MO is to willfully miss the point.
THIS…is now a gen-u-ine Safe Space!!! Bravo!! Common Sense like this will spread exponentially!!
