On issues like this it's not Republicans vs Democrats, it's the Trump cult vs everyone else.


and the non-democrats are just lining up to donate to mccabes defense as he rails against Trump after the OIG and OPR recommended his termination for lying to investigators
its the same people who donated to stormy daniels and same people who would donate to david hogg if/when he asks

Ooops, looks like trump is posting pictures of a fence replacement project that started in 2009 to replace a fence from the 90's and is trying to pass it off as the start of his border wall. Hasn't even secured funding for it and is taking credit for a project already in the works. Yay team.


yet somehow it's THEM constantly whining about "fake news", insanity.
and as usual it's either crickets from the right or a sarcastic 'impeach now!', implying that his constant lies and blunders mean nothing if they don't immediately end his presidency...

I think there's plenty of independents who see McCabe's firing as a continuation of Trump's assault on the FBI and intelligence community. The expedited nature of his firing strikes many as political, even if the accusations against him are valid.

There's a sizable number of anti-Trump Republicans and right-leaning independents who side with these career officials. My grandfather has been involved in Republican politics most of his adult life and he voted for a Democrat president for the first time in 2016.

The career officials are the ones who recommended McCabe's expedited termination. Part of the revelations from the IG report being leaked is that McCabe was lying to Comey, besides the investigators.
Having Comey go political in his proclaimed defense of the FBI establishment against the fallout of the election is one thing, having McCabe run damage control for Hilldog and self-serving leaks while betraying his office is another.

All McCabe had to do was frame his firing as "Me vs Trump", and anti-Trump democrats in their pussy hats dug around in their pockets for loose change to throw at him. Its that much less money to oppose Trump and the republicans in the midterms

Just admit you were making shit up. It looks less pathetic.


How is amazon not becoming a monopoly? It is engaging in predatory activities wherever it can, especially for tax evasion and extorting postal services.

so he voted for loser rinos for about the last ~25 years and then went and voted for a (D) two-time loser in 2016. well no wonder you vote the way you do :rofl:

First Amazon is a monopoly, specifically in retail and online markets.

Then they've only completely undercut some products.

Now they are just BECOMING a monopoly by currently undercutting products.


You'll just keep moving the goalposts.

Amazon might be becoming a monopoly, but that's far from your initial dumb claim.

Even now they aren't anywhere near close to a monopoly. They're still competing with WalMart who's online sales have grown year over year at a pretty decent rate, and in specialty areas like computer parts they are far from eclipsing other providers like Newegg. I could give a ton of examples in pretty much every field because Amazon hasn't even come close to monopolizing online retail.

I feel bad for the school that gave him his chemistry degree.

He posted his chemical engineering degree but doesn't know basic thermodynamics, which is extra sad because chemical engineering ditches the top level chemistry classes in favor of thermo heavy classes.

What is the point of any of this arguing if we basically agree about the current and future threat?
