See...you seemed to make a lot a great point there until the last paragraph. I think you just exposed yourself as being pretty biased.
How can you say that the Trump investigation that's been going on for 19 months (really only since Mueller took over imho, what's that been 6-7 months) has turned up nothing but a 5 year investigation into Hillary needs to be escalated into a grand jury situation?
You've had five years to do this...and you cant...you still can't. At the very least that mean you can't prove it...even if your theory is entirely accurate. Some of what you wrote in that last paragraph are assertions that have no proof. It sounds like the rantings and ravings of a Sean Hannity.
Hillary has been investigated exhaustively. Nothing came of it. Because nothing was there. Even when lead entirely by Republican committees (could you imagine if we had an entirely Democrat committee investigating Trump? Please.) it produced nothing more than talking points for the right wing.
Trump's investigation has yielded 3 arrests thus far. One of whom is working with Mueller and is believed to have been taping conversations over the last couple of months. Flynn is on the cusp of being arrested, as is his son. Sessions clearly has committed perjury. Page's testimony shows that Trump's entire team knew about his trips to Russia/Kremlin, was in constant contact with Russia, and was willing to "get dirt" on Hillary in exchange for favorable policies towards Russia.
What we have right now are people who don't read. That's not my problem and it shouldn't be yours either. I'm not going to waste my time arguing reality with people (we have various testimony, arrests, and records of the Trump admin speaking.) You either accept what is happening, or you remain in denial.

What was confirmed? Do you have any article to link or will you ignore this and call me a liar when I say you’ve never supported that claim?
What did he do exactly that was a bombshell? I know you don’t like being “pinned” down with a stance.
Well, let's see jackass.... If I put up the numerous links to this story (which can be found by you in 2 seconds via Google) then you'd simply deny the testimony that took place, twist things around and pivot. If I choose not to provide any links for you (which I'm under zero obligation to do, while discussing this) then you'd deny the testimony that took place. Either way it's a waste of time.
Page's testimony did wonders for Mueller and sunk Trump and his administration. I said before that Page must be a moron to testify without an attorney, after reading highlights from his testimony, I must wonder if he's all there mentally. What a foolish man.

Pure ignorance. I've never said a word about how much I make, only that I live comfortably. Stop reading things that weren't said and focus (for once) on what was.
That's why I said "group of insecure men." I was addressing them both, yourself included.
#625 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 470 weeks ago
haha, I've never seen a group of more insecure men. Constantly posting their resumes and talking about their supposed income. Cripes.
Of course it's luck. Any introspective human being could tell you that, regardless of intelligence level, education or work ethic.
Hard work absolutely plays a role, but your circumstance, is yours alone. Everybody is different. Every life is unique. Brains are wired differently. We've discussed this before.
I work hard when I need too, but also understand I've been given many things in life that allow me to navigate it much easier than other people. Where I was born, who I happened to talk to, how my brain my process ideas, people who mentored me, a passage in a book I read years ago, random conversations, various life experiences etc all happened by chance and eventually molded me into who I am.
Get off your high horse and have some humility. That's a skill set in itself actually, and also requires hard work.

Are you going to offer a solution or just attack people and retreat as soon as you’re asked to provide something someone else didn’t write? Guy was an atheist. One of yours this time. I heard he thought 9/11 was an inside job too.
This isn't about me (your go-to pivot). It's about our sick and selfish gun culture in this country. BTW moron, he was stopped with a gun (as most of them are) AFTER murdering 26 people, including children.
Over and over I hear that I'm not as smart as I think I am. If that's true, how have I gotten here and so many haven't? Luck?
Pretty much.
I’ve found that people who bitch about CEO pay have never worked in corporate America and have never made it to middle management.
Maybe one day they can hit the bigtime, IE 40% tax rate.

Even a wealth of experience somehow gets painted into a negative as they're looking for 'fresh blood' in the industry.
I've met an absolute ton of people around 60 who were basically made redundant somewhere around 50 and are spending the last 10-15 years of their working lives under-employed, unemployed, or working some low level job like cashier that had nothing to do with their (previously executive middle-management) type skills.
Maybe it's different in the USA. But over here...once you're in your late 40s i'd be worried about being seen as too disposable...
This happens here in the 50s. Especially with women.

Thoughts and prayers say the NRA whores...27 dead today at church.
Reports out of Texas are devastating. The people of Sutherland Springs need our prayers right now.

Why would anybody suggest massive tax cuts during a strong economic period? Now is the time to increase revenue, not lower it. It's pretty stupid, especially since it will increase the deficit and add on to the debt. They seem to be gutting everything that helps the middle class, so they can help out their wealthy pals. Again, only fiscally conservative once Obama became president. Now that he's gone...no worries.
