(AP) — A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted a Wisconsin judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities, allowing the case against her to continue. The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan escalated a clash between President Donald Trump’s administration and local authorities over the Republican’s sweeping immigration crackdown. Democrats have accused the Trump administration of trying to make a national example of Dugan to chill judicial opposition to the crackdown. As the Ds on here remind us, if a grand jury indicts, there is enough evidence to proceed with prosecution. mspart

AI Overview Learn more The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 allowed the President to cancel specific spending items or tax benefits within a bill, while still signing the rest of the bill into law. This act was later deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. So there is no line item veto. Which is unfortunate I think. mspart

Embarrassing. mspart

AI Overview Learn more Since World War II, Democrats in Congress have been responsible for a larger share of the gross federal debt than Republicans, with Democrats accounting for about 74% and Republicans about 26%, according to the Joint Economic Committee (JEC). When considering debt held by the public, Democrats in Congress have incurred 90.3% while Republicans are responsible for 9.7%, according to the JEC. This includes debt held in intra-governmental accounts, which is primarily owed to Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds. Search term: US deficits by who controlled congress That was easy. Offthemat was correct. mspart

This is correct at least in part. Clinton was on a path to increase the deficit. 1994, was the year of the Gingrich contract with America, the Ds got shellacked and R's took over and essentially forced Clinton to be more fiscally responsible. Seeing the tea leaves, he moved in that direction anyway. Obama had a similar thing when deficits went down. It is correct the deficits went up under R admins but a look at the Congresses that provided the spending bills gives a story as well. mspart

I'm guessing it doesn't go to Airbus. I have no idea what Boeing can do, but I don't think it goes to Airbus. They would have to buy the shell only and then get it modified here in the US. I think the modification issue is the problem Boeing is facing right now. mspart

Schumer's tactic is good. Will he release it when he gets the info he is seeking? That will be the test of character for him. My inclination is to say he will not release it. mspart

So you are complaining about this situation and know nothing about the situation? That takes a lot of chutzpuh. mspart

Scouts Honor - You are correct!! mspart

No wonder you are supportive of illegal immigration. Cheap labor. Back to the old democratic ways of the 1800s. mspart

This makes no sense. It is not his airplane. It is the government's if they ever actually receive it. If it goes to the library it will still be the gov's airplane. At no time will it be in Trump's legal possession. I think this has more to do with Trump in your mind than it has to do with the plan and the facts in the case. I think you have taken this as far as is possible. mspart

Looks like RV is getting his talking points from our favorite Swalwell. Too funny. mspart

I surely didn't complain about the child tax credit. That was nice while it lasted. Not sure how I think about this. But where the gov gives, it can take away. I would be more concerned about that. But at a time where we are spending more than we bring in, not really the best investment unless they offset it with equal spending cuts. mspart

I again ask Vak to spell out clearly how Trump gets any money out of this deal. That might clear up some confusion. mspart

It must be pretty embarrassing to Boeing to have all this talk. mspart

Vak - You have still not shown how Trump makes money on this deal? You have said a lot of things but nothing concrete about how he makes money on this if he flies in it and then it gets donated to his library. The way I see it ( if true): Qatar gifts the US DOD a 747-8 luxury jet US outfits the jet so that it can be an Air Force 1 command center which it will need to be which will cost federal money. The US govt could gift it or donate it to Trump's library, but it would be the government's airplane since it was donated to DOD. So how does Trump make money on this deal? Not talking about side money like SS agents in hotels etc. They will have to go where he goes and stay where he stays. That's part of the deal. He has above the board hotels that he may choose to stay at, but may choose not to. He may go to a place where he has no hotel. The question is how does he make money on this deal? Please be clear and concrete in your explanation. mspart

What was the penultimate polysyllabic word you utilized there? mspart

Ask Nancy! mspart

Yep he is so incompetent that he fielded pros to negotiate (called delegation) while he took care of the other affairs of state. Funny how you think a President controls every aspect of everything that goes on in an administration. He usually gives his conditions and delegates the work out. You think you are dissing but actually paying a backhanded compliment to Trump and his leadership qualities. mspart

If they broke the law for sure, arrest and prosecute. If not, then no. It doesn't matter who they are. Here in Seattle, nobody would be arrested unless they are identified as Trump backers or other conservative types. Then they would find themselves in the poky and not with an ankle bracelet that can be cut off. They only use those for multi convicted felons. It is wonderful here for sure. Avg Joe Citizen around here is a liberal nut job or homeless drug addict who would absolutely get no consequence. mspart

Wow, RV actually paying Trump a compliment here. He sent Professionals to negotiate with China, resulting in a 90 day pause on tariffs to a much more reasonable level. This a is very interesting development. mspart

Qatar gifts a $400 million airplane. Trump uses it as Air Force one. Then the fool allows his library to have it. If the it decommissioned, it no longer flies. What good would the $400 million be? If it is not decommissioned, and it does fly, the costs of flying are immense, much cheaper with his 757. If it is refurbished into an AF-1, it will be the Federal Govts money that he would have to reimburse. Refurbing a 747 into AF-1 capable is not cheap. So I'm really not following the how he will be $400 million richer unless he sells it. I don't see how it is not used for future Presidents until Boeing makes good on their contract. And then Trump would have to reimburse the government for the refurb job if the govt lets him take it to his library at all. So I'm really not following how he will be $400 million richer unless he sells it, which he will not be able to do because it is loaded with super secret upgrades. mspart
