Whoa......I am not suggesting any of what you wrote...pretty assinine of you to suggest that. And if you don't get the meaning of the saying just say so instead of conflating what I said into something it wasn't. But again, this should be expected out of you.

Great...two of the worst posters ever are back. I'd take 10 RV's over these two guys.

Not trying to play semantics here but this one in particular is important I believe, but your links were about the deficit, not the budget. The budget is a piece of the pie in regard to the deficit. I'd love to see some data around the deficit that takes into account some of the other factors I believe should be taken into account...and I say this not because I don't like what the data says but I think there may be some things hidden in the lagging indicator that were left out in some of the calculations (I could be wrong). It would be cool to see a breakdown of how much of a lagging indicator it is and what are ALL the things that have significant impact on the deficit. Good conversation, outside of the partisan stuff.

I don't disagree with most of what you said...other than I don't have a problem with people who preach the gospel (I am not even a religious person myself) and commit crimes (we all are imperfect and make bad decisions), and people who do sin and/or break the law should be held accountable, as appropriate. However, it is also not like the guy committed murder or raped someone; thus, I personally am not going to judge Synder so viscerally as some on here have. And my comments aren't only about the judgyness of people but also how people hide behind keyboards on an anonymous message board and say some of the dumbest stuff (yes I know I am on here too). I wish Synder and his family the best and hope they can all heal and move on in a positive direction after this terrible decision of his.

What do you mean the budget has been better?? What info/data/facts are you using to make that argument? Or do you mean deficit?

Wake Up!

I am surprised some of you haven't called for his hanging...holy crap!? Something something...glass houses...something something. These threads are why social media and key board warriors are such a joke.

This is getting tiresome...prove this statement..."Most of those are small programs and many have already been cut a lot in recent years" Not to mention your continual poo poo'ing of "only small cuts to programs"...are you kidding me?!?! You have shown repeatedly you have no clue on how things work.

As Jimmy said, how is it a strawman when YOU freakin said it!!

What the??

What a sick individual

Doesn't change anything...for one, the deficit is a lagging indicator that takes into account many factors that happened in the past. Both sides have contributed to it...to me it was a problem that was caused many many years ago, not sure by a D or an R but doesn't matter at this point, that politicians have been chasing, putting off and/or adding on to it year after year. I personally hate that we raise the debt ceiling, but it is naive to think it has nothing to do with past decisions upon past decisions based on past decisions, and it's extremely stupid to scream and stomp your feet when the current president comes in and has to raise it because of previous administrations decisions (both D and R's).

That was pretty cool!

Here...fixed it for you

I think people, on either side, have a right to question the potential gift in order to make sure it is a legal thing that can be done, as well as work out all the details around future use and purpose.

Why do people keep saying this is a gift to Trump when it wasn't? And where did this idea come from that Trump gets to keep the plane after his term?? Everything I read indicates it was a gift from one country's DOD to our country's DOD, NOT to Trump.

So we should believe you this time when all the other "guarantees" never happened?? No to mention your "guarantees" are right up there with all the other lies you constantly spew on here.

Well first off you do not have any idea the details behind this...this was NOT gifted to Trump, it was gifted by Quatar's Department of Defense to the US DOD...which the US DOD said it COULD be retrofitted to replace Airforce 1, but it isn't the final decision. Trump's administration indicated that before accepting the gift they have to make sure the legality of it. Heck...even the left MSM CNN gives the details. Legal details over accepting Qatari plane to use as Air Force One ‘still being worked out,’ White House says | CNN Politics And you saying that you or RV have "simply criticized Israel" Is so far from the actual truth and you know it. Not to mention your claim that Qutar is Hamas' "best friend" is extremely dishonest and a big leap from their actual relationship. A simple google search will give you their "relationship" rather quickly and is far from indicating they are "best friends" or actually supporting their military and terrorist activities.

What????

But but they didn't actually light the dumpsters on fire, they just pushed them over...and they didn't actually take over a building, they were just tagging along...

LOL...wrong! YOU are refusing to admit facts.

What is ignorant is you keep saying he said something, or inferred something that he didn't...all because you, which you clearly stated, don't believe context matters.

Let me ask all those screaming "DUE PROCESS" (Vak, RV, UB, etc.)...if an illegal alien and/or work/school visa person from another country is caught breaking the law, school policy/code of conduct, etc., would you consider it "due process" if the DA decided to not press charges (or in the case of the school they were going to kick them out) because they would be deported anyway for said offense after discussion with ICE and/or the school and thus the person is deported??

My opinion on the matter is that both you and Rasta are essentially right at the same time.

I'm hoping everything stays put until after I make an investment at the end of the month so I can buy low!
