  1. Apparently, Jared's been preparing his defense by  watching reruns of the Iran/Contra  trial.

    Top presidential adviser Jared Kushner’s legal team pushed back Friday night against a report that the White House senior adviser and Trump son-in-law had at least three undisclosed contacts with a Russian ambassador during and after the 2016 presidential campaign, saying he had “no recollection” of the alleged exchanges.

     

    "Mr. Kushner participated in thousands of calls in this time period. He has no recollection of the calls as described,” Kushner’s lawyer Jamie Gorelick told POLITICO in a statement, responding to a Reuters report about Kushner's contacts with Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

    People didn't work for food stamps or, for that matter, food, or welfare in the new deal. They were given all kinds of jobs and paid for their labor. For able bodied workers that would be a great idea.

    Here is a pretty thorough discussion of the welfare situation in the usa.

    Same as the New Deal programs or something different, doesn't much matter. The idea being if you require the recipients to work, it would reduce the numbers of people trying to defraud the program.  It could work well with trump's infra-structure plan, and the wall to for that matter.

    So enforce the rules, cut out the fraud and you could also cut the money required to fund the people that actually need the help. 

    Or better yet, build in a deterrence to fraud. Make the recipients work for the food stamps and welfare ala FDR's New Deal. As long as the govt is handing out free money, there will people telling lies to get it.

    I went to live with my older sister and we were on government assistance. No one wants to cut assistance to those that need it, to get them back on their feet, but welfare fraud is rampant in the USA and only someone that willfully ignores it or chooses not to see it would state otherwise.

     

    So you understand leftism after all.

     

    Fraud is a reason to enforce the rules not a reason to cut out the programs.

    Funny how you want to get rid of Trump just because he won but never complained about Obama even during crap like this.

    Saying 'yeah but Obama' isn't an argument for trump, it's just evidence that they're both inept. If you're trying to convince people that trump is a good choice as pres,  try showing how the country's better off since he took office, or at least how good his policies are.The 'yeah but argument' is just trolling.

    The same swelling  psychosocial dynamic (pack mentality) that prevented Lefties from seeing through Moore's blatant facade, is preventing "anti Trumpers" from conducting proper self analysis.

     

    Kinda like the same psychosocial dynamic that keeps the trumpies from seeing their candidate for what he really is......funny how that works.

    To bring articles of impeachment against a president requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives. When the case is tried by the Senate, a vote of at least 2/3 of those present is required to convict and remove the president from office. T

     

    If  Mueller digs up some solid evidence that trump broke the law then it's a pretty short step  to think enough GOP congressman would vote to get rid of a criminal  instead of risking votes supporting one. It  all comes down to people saving their own backside.

     

    Probably oughta wait out the investigation  before passing out cigars.

    A majority of American voters say there is no evidence of collusion between members of President Trump’s campaign and Russia and most are doubtful that investigations into the matter will lead to impeachment.

    Pretty silly poll...innit.

     

    Why would you conduct an investigation if you already have evidence?

     

    Cops don't search your car because they have evidence, they search your car because they have probable cause to look for evidence.

     

    As the article says 75% of Americans agree that there is enough probable cause to warrant a search into Trumps activities.  Sounds like a vote of no confidence to me.
