I agree with the latter part of your post. You will definitely have to remind me of what "intent" means in this context.

Putting this case aside.... Intent is important. If a warrant is issued based on an inaccuracy or misconception without attempt to conceal truth - yes, justified. If perjury is involved, no.

The first sentence of the paragraph. Of course it was deserved!! Any review of the resulting indictments, convictions and sentences related to this case is all any fair minded person needs to justify a special counsel.

Yes, an air conditioner is in a category called durable goods which is to say that it provides utility or value for an extended period of time. Depreciation is a measure of the loss of its value. A banana is not in that category at all.

That first sentence is a doozy!! Yes, they have forgiven Trump all his transgressions. Some are so full of bias, they dance when another gets his skull crushed. Crickets from you. I am careful if what I post, so I am never wrong.

What? The corruption decisions were made by juries of peers. There was no malicious prosecution. Hillary isn't even a thing.

Of course they are all corrupt. Some are more corrupt than others. You need to step up your game. You can't just criticize the ones you perceive to be left. If you are to continue this charade of pretending not to have a side, you have to call out everyone. I can't do all of this work myself. These guys are prolific and I have a strong suspicion some are retired.

That word has fallen way out of favor.

In the US, I am a rabid extreme left communist bent on the total destruction of the republic itself. In any other member of the G20, I am a boring centrist.

I have!!!

There was way too much smoke for there to be no fire. How many indictments, convictions and decades of sentences came out of that investigation? Mueller did not say there was no collusion. Paul Manafort said there was collusion and in fact, he colluded with Russia while he was Trump's campaign manager. I'll freely grant you some of the Steele dossier was false. However, the subsequent FISA applications snowballed because of the evidence rolling in - resulting in the unprecedented convictions of very corrupt people in Trump's inner circle. Let's not forget there were two special counsels that came out of this. John Durham's investigation resulted in zero jail time and a single charge.

That would be a long list that doesn't include Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner or Paul Ryan.

We do not outperform our peers. Your logic certainly applies equally to an entity that exists solely to make money. The proportion of uninsured has declined since Obamacare was enacted. Despite the best efforts of many.

Apparently, Obama's political enemies - who had authority and motive - thought he did nothing to justify a special counsel. That is why I posted my original assertion.

Monitoring radio spectrum jamming techniques may be a goal of China in these endeavors. That is something I would do. They certainly learned something when they flew by undetected! I also thought they would shoot it down with bullets, but they didn't. It looked like the surveillance equipment separated intact. They will have collected most of that by now.

Canada is a natural comparison. However, they compare poorly to all of our peers in this department. Despite spending so much more, the US doesn't compare all that favorably. Canada has a longer life expectancy, which may lend credence to @jross point 1. Cuba, which is not an economic peer, also has a longer life expectancy.

He certainly wasn't popular with the GOP. According to 6 years of John Boehner and Paul Ryan he didn't deserve it. According to the undocumented opinion of El Luchador - he did.

We are about to see the efficiency of our system play out in all it's glory. The government is going to stop paying for COVID vaccinations. The price will sky rocket. For a vaccination funded by the people of our country.

You can debate it, but it is self-evident. The share of GDP we spend on health care is fifty percent higher than our peers, who all have single payer systems. Medicaid administrative costs are a fraction of medical insurance administrative costs. The ridiculous cost of health care is caused by the pursuit of margins on the payer and provider sides, compounded by the lack of anything resembling a free market in between. People can't shop medical services and the actual cost is almost irrelevant.

Jordan Burroughs vs Dave Schultz, favor JB Stephen Abas vs Spencer Lee, favor Abas Carl vs AJ Ferrari, tossup

Clearly medicaid is more efficient. Can't even be debated since medicaid pays out less for the same procedure than the medical insurance industrial complex.

Those were always sold in checkout line. I can remember telling my mom there is no way that is true! A short time later - "Is that really true?". Turns out, the publisher has a close, decades long relationship with some prominent person. He buries personal scandals for that person who shall remain nameless.

Every president since LBJ has been investigated by special counsel - except Barack Obama.

So you can answer questions!
