Has to be the rep-tards which is probably why Louisiana just elected their first democratic governor in a while in the 2016 election. Republican legislature and republican governors moved wealth to the top, trickle down economics is a favorite ploy of the right. I really don't know why you would even ask that question with so much evidence around the country. The 50 poorest counties in the union are all in states that voted republican. Not to make it racial but only about ten of those counties are majority black and they're all in the south due to situations like Issaquena County, MS where nearly 93% of the population were slaves. The rest are majority white, close to destitution and still vote republican. Places like Elliot County, KY, which is over 99% white, are the prime examples of what I mean. Heavily voted for Drumph, have double the national unemployment rate, heavily enrolled in the ACA which is why Rand Paul is wavering, but have one of the lowest education levels in the country and get taken for suckers on the regular just like so many other similar communities around the country. A credit downgrade to a republican run state, smh.

Wow, another rep-tard conspiracy theory that gets it's own thread. This story almost rises to the Mike Flynn and son level of bs stories they promote. Crazy the president is under criminal investigation yet this was Fox's lead story.

Heck yeah he got a hell of a reception from the Saudis. He sold them $110billion dollars worth of military equipment with no stipulations. Obama was more customary, he also saw the Saudis for what they were which is an exporter of terror. Eight years before Obama took office 11 Saudi hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon, among other places. They know the president is a pure idiot and can be led to believe almost anything. That's the reason Netanyahu says the "Intelligence relationship has never been better" even after this dumbarse, upprodded, stops after being on the way out at a press conference says "I want you to know I never mentioned Israel to the Russians". WTF? Lol, tea serving etiquette? He got punked by a Muslim king and told to switch hands when you drink my tea. I consider that way worse than the customary bowing in the Middle East or Japan, or not touching the Queen in England.

That's very well put. Craziest part to me is rep-tards claim to be pro-life but just put out a budget to cut Medicaid and SNAP by nearly $1trillion. Now we're going to have sicker people driving up emergency room cost, not to mention losing out on preventative care which will lower future medical cost. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to have the baby because you can't support it, we want to make you have it then complain about you wanting help to support it after you told us you couldn't." I knew a bunch of single moms in college that used the WIC program to supplement their kids nutrition while they worked a minimum wage job and went to school full time. All the right has is talking points. That's why they had over seven years to come up with a replacement for the ACA and still haven't, yet the idiot in the White House tells Australia's prime minister they have the better healthcare than us. I couldn't be more ecstatic have Obama sandwiched between Bush who caused the recession and the supposed great business man tRump who doesn't know the difference be a strong and weak dollar. Obama will look like Aristotle in the history books compared to those two.

Man you post so much un-researched trash on here is ridiculous. Obama took office in 2009 when 32million people were on food stamps. The peak annual average under Obama was in 47.6million in 2013. The vast majority of these additional 15million people turned to the SNAP program because of the recession. Undoubtedly you aren't bathing in common sense otherwise you could easily see the correlation which is why I bolded your post. In April 2016 43million people were on enrolled in the SNAP or food stamp program. One of my sons is 11 years old and if I gave him a calculator he could figure out how ignorant your post was using simple division he learned in 4th grade. Please don't make naïve comments about the economy if you're not going to explain how we're gong to pay for massive tax cuts for the rich by raising the GDP on a developed economy by 50% in a year.

Remember when the coward currently in the White House said you can't fight Islamic terrorism if you can't say the phrase, or when he degraded Hillary Clinton for touching the "orb". Not only did he touch the orb, he punked out on using the phrase for the same reason Obama strategically didn't AND to stoop even lower he let the Saudi king tell him which hand to drink with. He didn't even have the balls to tell the Muslim king "I drink with whatever hand I please". I guess when have a president so incompetent stupid he doesn't know Israel is in the Middle East, this is what you should expect.

They have to read up on it. Fox didn't cover it until later last night when they made sure they got the denial from the White House first. Poor old Fox, every story they run quoting the White House is proven false within 36 hours of it airing. I just hope agent orange can hang on long enough to make it to the 2018 midterms so democrats can be assured victory, that way they can be the heads of all the committees and spend the next two years investigating and running republicans into the ground. Once someone authenticates this memo or Comey is allowed to testify in an open hearing I think democrats will draw up articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice. What Nixon did is child's play compared to Drump.

Because there was an Access Hollywood video that came out where tRump was talking about sexually assaulting women by grabbing them by the p****. This administration is the gift that keeps on giving so reporters don't have time to cover everything. We should still be talking about him firing the FBI director who was investigating him but we have to move on to obstruction of justice for leaning on the same FBI director months earlier. None of the stories about Bill O'Reilly had traction before reports came out about millions him and Fox paid out to cover up his sexual deviance. Fact of the matter is the NYT and Washing Post are a lot more credible than anything that leaves the White House at this point.

What does them backing the nuclear deal have to do with anything? Iran and Israel want to wipe each other off the map, always have and always will. How does that change the fact we used them to install a virus in the computer system that controlled their centrifuges? Israel hates the Iran deal because it elevates Iran's standing in the region by giving them money and removing sanctions thus improving their economic situation which Netanyahu is staunchly against. Israel want to dominate the Middle East because they feel it's their right. Obama could see through the fact that Netanyahu wasn't really worried about the existential threat of Iran creating a nuclear bomb, he was worried about Iran becoming Israel's equal. So once again I ask, what does anything you posted have to do with us contracting our Israel to do our dirty work in certain areas of the world?

Not really. Trump never released his taxes so some of his sources of income weren't made known until some investigative reporting was done. I think at that time it would've been a stretch for a presidential candidate to be implicated in money laundering as is the case now with Russian oligarchs washing money through his companies. If you don't cheat on your taxes they'll show all that stuff which is why Nixon didn't show his before he was pressured and given a several hundred thousand dollar fine.

Justification? It's called precedence. Like that thing the Supreme Court sometimes uses while writing opinions. Lol, Obama paid money we OWED since Reagan was in office. Reagan GAVE Iran guns that I'm sure ended up in the hands of the Revolutionary Guard. By the way, paying off a debt if morally better than giving someone guns that celebrates killing you. If you don't think that than maybe you're the one that graduated from Acorn's Community Organizer training class, I actually graduated from Texas A&M.

You know how when Obama gave Iran that cash for the release of the hostages they also knew Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities had been compromised? We contracted Israel to infiltrate Iran's underground nuclear facility and install malware called stuxnet to destroy their centrifuges for the time being. Better read up, it's not all yarmulkes and kosher diets for the Hanukkah people.

Smh, dude Reagan gave Iran guns while we had an arms embargo against them to secure the release of the seven hostages during the Iran contra crisis. In 1979 the Shah of Iran was overthrown, prior to that they gave the US $400million to buy weapons. We froze $12billion in Iranian assets and only paid them back $3billion in 1981 when the issue was resolved for them taking over the US embassy. The case went to court in the Hague and eventually moved into private settlement talks between the two nations. Iran wanted upwards of $10billion in the settlement, the US ended up getting off the hook for $1.7billion. The first payment of the $1.7billion was $400million that Obama had delivered in Euros, Swiss Francs and other foreign currencies. True he used it to leverage the release of the Americans but let's put it in context. Obama gave money we owed for the release of hostages, Reagan gave Iran, who often chants "death to America" millions of dollars in weapons for the release of hostages. What's sad about Benghazi is how republicans exploited the deaths of those four people to the tune of $20+million but barely talk about operations Trump has botched in his five months in office leading to multiple deaths of our special ops. soldiers like the Yemen raid he tried to blame on Obama. Eight years and all y'all can produce on Obama is his secretary of state's private email server like the one Colin Powell also had. It hasn't been eight months for Trump and you're already hearing words like treason and impeachment. We don't need to go back to 2016, we can just start January 20th.

Why would I celebrate burning Israel. We basically contract Israel out to handle out dirty work around the region so we can keep our hands clean. Much like Obama I see them as a necessary evil. They get a pass because of the Holocaust and the fact that they're the people of Jesus. Reality is that they consistently terrorize the Palestinians, they continuously build new settlements which work directly in opposition to peace in the region, are often involved in cyber attacks around the world and every time they get hit in the mouth for one of the problems they caused they punk out and call us to save them. Obama saw Netanyahu for the far right idealist he is, the idiot in the White House now had to be told the difference between a one and two state solution.

I see we're a day behind on this forum. I know it's hard to keep up with all the tomfoolery but I thought we would've already moved on to Drump trying to pressure Comey to end the Russia investigation into Mike Flynn the day after he was fired. The existence of Comey's memo has already been verified but the script hasn't been authenticated. If proven to be true as written it will be stronger evidence of obstruction of justice than the Nixon tape from the Oval Office where H.R. Adelman and Nixon were caught talking about how to suppress the investigation of the break in. When this information does come out I hope there's a republican with the gall of Barry Goldwater that will go to the White House like he did with Nixon and tell him his time is over.

Man y'all crack me up. President Bush actually had Vladamir Putin come to his ranch in Crawford, TX and sit in on the president's daily briefing which is the most classified briefing the chief executive receives. The difference with what Bush and Obama did is that they had all the information that was going to be shared vetted through national security agencies as to not compromise any sources or operations. To the shock of the intelligence community agent orange spouted this highly classified information off in a bragadocious manner to the two Russian agents, which is why the White House is in damage control mode right now. What's even more disturbing about these reports is the information the president revealed may have been collected through the Israeli Mossad which is probably the only intelligence agency on par with our CIA in the world. No matter my thoughts on Israel, there's a good chance the president just burned our only true ally in the middle east. You can rest assure Russia's best friend Iran will find some way to thwart the collection techniques of Israel due to our president's mouth.

LMAO, we don't even have 1000 total people in congress dude. Maybe you should introspect some research. Yes though, I do find it weird that our great country is the only democracy where you don't have to have the most votes to win. That's like Ted Cruz's senate seat going up and him getting the most votes but we give the seat to Julian Castro because you won the most counties. It's bass-ackwards but that and gerrymandering is the only thing that gives the republicans a breath of life in a country that will eventually wipe their party out.

Everybody except people that are real billionaires unlike tRump. Buffet wouldn't blink at having to couch up $1billion in Berkshire-Hathaway stock, he lost 10 times that in the recession.

That's lawyer speak so it can be defended at a later time. What he doesn't implicitly state is that "President Trump did not disclose classified information to the Russians". That should have been the statement. Not "we didn't tell them how we got the information". Like I've already said, if it was no big deal H.R. McMaster would not have left directly out of the meeting and informed three intelligence agencies what the president had just told a foreign adversary. Since the president can declassify information anything that comes out of his mouth is legal. What's illegal is revealing a classified source which is what McMaster saying didn't happen. Doesn't matter if he gave up the "source" of the information though, he gave them the information itself. That information can be traced back to the "source", which is believed to be in Syria, and "source" will most likely be compromised or executed due to the president's mouth. Not only that, what allies will trust us with their intel. from now on when you have president who arbitrarily gives it out to adversaries?

Lol, republicans requested a closed hearing with Comey so when he aired out the president for asking him to be loyal to him it would be a he said she said while they tried to do their spin job about inevitable leaks. Comey refused and wants to testify in an open hearing so he can't be misquoted. Why hasn't this open hearing been schedule yet? You're right though, it's some straight up BS.

Lol, tRump got less votes than any winning republican president I can think about in my lifetime. Me, as well as majority of the country was smart enough to realize electing somebody so incompetent could potentially jeopardize our democracy. The only thing the left has been proven(oddly enough), is right.

That's because he showed them and has always been a proponent of "paying a higher tax rate than my secretary". The real issue is that if tRump or his company had to pay $1billion worth of anything he/they would file for chapter 11 bankruptcy like he has six times already. I wouldn't want anybody who calls themselves the "King of debt" and has filed for bankruptcy several times running my business, much less having anything to do with economic policy.

He's right, they basically just echo what the White House says. Then after they're proven liars like they were with Flynn, Yates, Comey, Rosenstein, the aircraft carrier, etc., they'll just move on to the next story and have somebody like Shep Smith do a correction on a Saturday night when nobody is watching like they had to do when tRump said he got the Obama wiretapping claims from a Fox interview with Judge Napolitano.

When are y'all going to learn that those financials mean nothing? You need federal income tax filings and returns. Financial records are equivalent to the disclosures they had to file before the election. I really think this is a Nixon type situation where tRump doesn't want to release his tax because much like Nixon being his with $400k in penalties after he did so, tRump will be proven to be a cheat and also be fined which would lead to impeachment. Put the taxes out. The IRS already said there's no reason they can't be released, even if they are currently under audit like Warren Buffet's.

I know. You can go do an interview with a random person from the foothills of Kentucky or West Virginia where the opioid crisis is in dire straits and ask them if they want to repeal Obamacare and they tell you "Well heck yeah", then ask them how they're going to pay for the medication for their son's drug addiction and they tell you "We have the Affordable Care Act". The IQ level on the right is spread so thin dRump had coal miners thinking they were going to get their jobs back, lol. Our Gulf Coast refineries create more fuel energy from bottoms off our coker units in one day than you can mine in a week in West Virginia. The stuff the right buys hook, line and sinker would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
