This guy is a hardened criminal while Bowe Bergdahl, according to Susan Rice, served his country with honor and distinction.

Prepare for racism and profiling accusations.

Yes, but just think about the newer, higher, more intellectual level of sensitivity and caring involved. If they really, really want this to be judged solely on character, why not put sacks over all of their heads and dress them all the same?

100% agree

Big Girl- did he shoot them because he was white or did he shoot them because he is a loon?

As the left claims- always the purveyors of class and dignity.

On a relative basis, most anybody who could/would have replaced Mr. Obama would have succeeded economically not necessarily because of their expertise but because of the incompetence of their predecessor. Kudos to Mr. Trump for distributing "the crumbs".

Prepare to be told that this is simply an extension of what Obama had put in place

Kountzer, why is 77's comment seemingly true?

Absolutely NOT- Tolerance and civility are required practices of only the right.

No he did not. He lectured this country continually about the need for "tolerance and civility" which are two attributes that a goodly portion of his supporters do not adhere to.

Just imagine what would have happened if these things had been said about Mr. Trumps predecessor. I will venture to guess that Kountzer, you would not have been shy about vocalizing your opinion in that instance.

Taxes and regulations are, from their perspective, the solution to all issues.

I am predicting a forthcoming "solution". They will impose some sort of tax, payable by those who are not already paying their "fair share".

Why worry about any of that stuff, Kountzer. After all, the end is imminent.

Dove, I think you are being paged.

Still trying to prove that they "care more" The above suggests that they dont care at all or are simply economically ignorant.

From the May 26 edition of the Wall Street Journal: Democratic governors have lambasted the GOP tax reform as “evil in the extreme,” to quote the moral stylings of California Governor Jerry Brown. But that isn’t stopping them from cashing in on the tax law. Many liberal states have reported unexpected revenue surges. Tax revenues in California this year are $3.8 billion higher than the governor’s forecasts. New York’s Comptroller reported last month that tax collections have surpassed the state’s February forecast by $315 million. Even Connecticut raked in $1.3 billion more than its pie-in-the-sky projections. Corporate tax revenues are booming thanks to growing profits and, though it’s still early, businesses repatriating billions in foreign income. The GOP tax bill imposes a one-time tax on overseas cash and allows future profits to be repatriated tax free. According to California’s Legislative Analyst Office, eliminating the incentive to stash cash abroad will increase revenues “on a one-time basis by a few hundred million dollars over the next two to three years” and permanently boost state coffers by tens of millions of dollars annually. Note also that the dividends corporations are paying to shareholders will be taxed by states, as will capital gains that result from stock buybacks. Some high-earners appear to have shifted income forward to dodge the $10,000 state-and-local tax deduction limit that takes effect this year. California’s Legislative Analyst notes that “tax payments appear to have been shifted from January 2018 to December 2017,” but adds that this year’s “ongoing growth in tax payments appears to be healthy.” So the revenue boom isn’t merely a product of tax timing. The Trump Administration’s deregulation and tax reform have unleashed animal spirits, which has increased stock values and capital gains. These revenues are volatile, but the serendipitous surge was a godsend for Connecticut. Without the revenue spike, the state would have hit its debt limit and may have had to cancel school construction projects. Some states are also double-dipping on tax reform’s base-broadening measures. Nearly all states incorporate provisions of federal tax law to varying degrees. Six use federal taxable income—which excludes personal exemptions and itemized deductions—as their baseline when calculating an individual’s liability. Most link some of their deductions and credits to the federal code. Because the GOP tax reform reduced many deductions, more income may be taxed at the state level. According to the California Franchise Tax Board, the state-and-local tax deduction limit will produce an additional $550 million in state revenue this year. New York estimated a $400 million revenue increase from the state-and-local tax deduction limit. After high-earners howled, New York decoupled its deductions from the federal code to prevent a tax hike. But Colorado is expecting a $197 million windfall from changes in federal tax law, which it plans to pump into schools. Minnesota has projected a $416 million dividend. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton this week vetoed a bill passed by the GOP legislature to prevent a tax hike on state residents. Remember how Democratic governors wailed that the limit on the state-and-local tax deduction would slam their taxpayers? Yet many are now happy to pocket an incidental increase in state tax revenues. They can soak their rich without actually raising taxes. Democratic governors are worried that the deduction cap could drive out high-earners by raising their federal tax burden. But then why not cut their tax rates? Idaho’s Tax Commission estimated that conforming with the new tax law would increase state revenue by $97 million. Idaho lawmakers responded by reducing the corporate and individual income tax rates by 0.475 percentage points across the board. Republicans in Georgia cut their top individual and corporate tax rates to 5.5% from 6% by 2020. Rather than invent convoluted schemes to reduce their taxpayers’ federal tax burden, Democrats ought to cut their own.

Is that next week, next year, or next century?

More "caring and compassion"

But that is because they are liberal, which they honestly believe is the highest source of owed respect.

Subject: Fwd: LARGEST INSANE ASYLUM IN THE WORLD!! Interesting that the LA Times did this. Lou Dobbs reported this on CNN and it cost him his job. The only network we would see this on would be FOX. All the others are staying away from it. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, this should be of great interest to you! Just One State - be sure and read the last part... try for 3 times. This is only one State... If this doesn't open your eyes, nothing will! From the L.A. Times. 1. 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2 million people) are working for cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. (Donald Trump was right) 2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. 4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.. 5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals; they are here illegally. 6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. 7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in LA are Spanish- speaking. 10. In LA County, 5.1 million people speak English; 3..9 million, speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people, in LA County. (All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times) Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth, (and over 90% of California , Florida and New York ), results from Immigration. Also, 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. We are fools for letting this continue. HOW CAN YOU HELP? Send copies of this letter, to at least two other people. 100, would be even better. This is only one State...If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will and you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters! IF YOU DON'T AGREE, JUST DELETE -- IF YOU DO PASS IT ON! WHERE DO WE GET THESE MORONS? And then there's NANCY PELOSI: Nancy Pelosi (who was just re-elected and part of this problem) wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words, tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this…; Windfall Tax on Retirement Income... Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people "you're so dammed stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you". Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds)! Alas, it is true- all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities! This woman is frightening. She quotes... 'We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this?) in our country; and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest. (I'm not rich, are you?) When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as Americans. (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.) 'Lower your retirement; give it to others who have not worked, as you have, for your money.

But he "means well" and if you are a lefty, intentions are all that matters.
