Republican Presidents since at least Nixon have sought the line item veto to prevent this. They’ve tried shutting the gov’t down.

They want the drugs, the sex, the labor, and the voting rolls.

The message changes a bit when you attribute the majority of the Congress to the ups and downs.

Some of them make some spicy sausage, but I can't find my cat.

Even given the prize money involved?

The red-bellied sap sucker looked to be exercising more than her Constitutionally enumerated powers.

I think they should give Trump the cash and let him make his own deal.

Couldn’t this also be a prototype to personal retirement accounts to replace social security?

Yep, it’s called the casino for the rich. Little effect has been made by tariffs, but the market trades on emotion. If anything tanks, it’ll be the bond market if Congress doesn’t shave the 2+ trillion deficit they are devising for the next year’s budget.

I don’t know about every situation, but receipts from his first term showed that he had provided U.S. personnel discount rates at his facilities.

No,no,no. Not even a referee, remember, your insolence?

Go ahead. You’re well past blatant now.

Don’t forget Berney

He tells harrowing stories about how bad the court treats his clients.

You’re arrogance is leading you to make transgressions that are unwise. Especially for one skilled in the law.

I’m extending no grace or benefit of doubt. I’m going with reality.

Is that the art of the plea deal? Cop to the lesser character flaw and disregard the blatant falsehoods?

Well, I’m going to share my secret with you. Try it and see if it improves your stake. Buy low - sell high.

No. @VakAttack said $400 million. I don’t see a dollar value to Trump. He gets a nice plane regardless. It would be like saying refurbishing the White House makes him richer.

Yeah, like tanking up.

Think it’d be wise to just convert to gold or take the losses?

the possibility that Hamas will retain power over Gaza.

Oh look, somebody who’s been to law school (a considerable expense) is so arrogant that he disregards the lay person who sees the very real wrong he committed, and tries to claim accomplices when in reality he is the only one observed to actually claim a personal $400 million benefit. I’m certain you are correct in that you’ll avoid prosecution but it’s not due to your truthfulness, it’s not due to some great number of cohorts, nor to my lack of understanding. It’s due to the fact that it’s you who is superficial. I see now that the always dependable @uncle bernard (sarc) is joining in the calumny.
