Contractors who helped build Trump's latest hotel have filed a mechanic's lien against him for non payment. Some were Trump voters.

What a guy.

I think you righties are a lot like Trump. You bog us all down with non sense arguments over SJWs and BLM while your party gets ready to gut medical care for millions of Americans, give their corporate pals massive tax cuts, cut Medicare and SS out from  under our seniors, run up even more debt, and eventually crash our economy again.

If all veterans approved and supported a stupid ideology and narrative that was demonstrably false then yes.  If all violent riots and protests in the past few years exclusively included veterans then yes.

Not all BLM approve and support a particular ideology-in this case using violence or rioting to make their point. So you comparison is no bueno, and you're still avoiding the point. We can't lump everybody in together. Just admit it was wrong to post "BLM" associated with a crime perpetrated by blacks and we can move on.

The last time veterans rioted was after WW1. So I don't get the comparison at all.

The point is lumping everybody together in one group...would you be OK if I (or anybody else) lumped you in with the rotten apples in your bunch?

What is your point? A group of scumbags commit a crime and that negates the message of a segment of people who are tired of being shot by police?

My wife deals with lying ass Vets trying to scam the system almost everyday for a monthly check. Does that also mean you'll be looking for a way to game the system as well? Can we lump you all together?

Mind-boggling that Trump sides with Assange over our own intelligence communities.


Isn't it?

Trump sides with Russia and Assange over our 17 intelligence agencies. Fox News and other conservative media outlets are now saying there is no proof and/or this whole thing is exaggerated. Conservative posters across the interwebtubes follow suit.

National security, ethics, all that shit they screamed about for 8 years is completely irrelevant in an instant.

What a shocker.

I'm curious how suicidal they are in their quest to repeal of the ACA. If they really gutted it immediately  I'd imagine the economy would nose dive along with the stock market almost overnight. I'm guessing they'll take the cowards way out and "repeal" it but keep it intact for a few more years.

What was one of the first things the GOP wanted to do? 86 the ethics committee. What a shocker.

Now they're back peddling once the outrage boiled over.

I'd like to see the Republicans toss the ACA. It's not going to be as easy as they think it is, and not surprisingly after all these years they still have no replacement plan. Obama's plan WAS their plan, but lets not bother going into that one again. One thing is for sure, Ryan has his sites on gutting Medicare while he's at it, and he'll blame it on Obamacare when he does it.

If Trump is able to get shit done in congress, he automatically becomes more succesful than Obama has been the past 6 years, and let's be honest, his only real contribution was the ACA, which he struggled to get his own party to get behind.  As soon as that goes away, there's not really much his supporters can point to as a legacy.

Sometimes I think you guys exist in another reality entirely.

I'm talking about the arra. You mean the cop arresting Henry Louis Gates for trying to get into his own home? Obama was right, the cop was stupid. Obama getting blamed for bad race relations is completely assanine. The amount of open racism spouted at Obama was insane. Did you hear what that fat ugly cunt Palendino said about him just a week ago?

A black man talking about race is "divisive" in their book or even racist.
