Come on! Don't pretend you don't know why! You've been told a few dozens of time already!

These are a distinction without a difference.  

There were classified documents in Joe Biden's garage.  Totally unguarded. The law does not give an asterisk for how few they are, how limited the content or the fact they were returned. 

With Hillary, she not only had classified material stored on a personal server in her bathroom.  SHE SHARED ACCESS TO IT.  Both are violations of the law

Come on Don't Pretend you can't see the difference in treatment.  You have had this explained to you dozens of times already. 

It is purely a case of the law is for "thee and not for me"

Name one person who's former lawyer accused him of financial fraud both in testimony and in a book who was not investigated and charged.

 

As I said, name one person just one who the New York attorney's office has without a complaint of the bank said, I am going to subpoena the records and review let alone prosecute.  

This is clear targeting of a political opponent and using government funds to pummel.  The fact that Cohen may have said something is irrelevant.

It's for the good of the nation.  Don't you agree?

I started my post by saying this was political targeting.  Weaponizing government to go after only your political opponents and letting your friends go free. 

I would tell you that the ATF going after Hunter Biden for a gun application permit crime was "politically motivated"  Few if any are ever charged with lying on the ATF form.  Most prosecuted tend to be people with felony convictions who know they are not supposed to have a firearm.

With Trump, 

1. Name one just one company or individual that the New York Attorney Generals Office went to a bank without the bank filing a complaint and sought out specifically that person, or company to examine the records. 

2. Name one just one company or individual that the New York Attorney Generals Office has brought charges for inflating financial net worth when applying for a loan. 

If Trump was, and I believe it to be true THE ONLY PERSON the NY Attorney General sought any information on, that is weaponizing. 

Not any different than if the police say they are stopping drunk driving but only stop your car and not one elses.

Please explain why your legal knowledge is greater than Trumps lawyers?

You continue to deflect.  Tell me why Biden should not then be prosecuted also.  

My point and I keep repeating it and you keep ignoring it is not that crimes may or may not have been committed. 

Tell me specifically why Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted for sharing classified inforamation with those without security clearance.

Tell me why Biden is not being prosecuted for keeping classified information in his corvette in an unguarded garage with access open to his son and others. 

That sir is weaponizing when you only go after your political opponents and let your friends go off scott free.

I will await your repsonse. But I expect more deflection. 

Since you are such a big one one prosecuting the guilty.  Tell me when the trials for the White House Press Secretary begin.  She was warned of the violation of the Hatch Act but chose to ignore it. 

Oh wait.  No trial.  It says the office chose to not take any disciplinary action. 

While Jean-Pierre and Bates acted “contrary” to the OSC’s warning and guidance, the office decided against any disciplinary action, Hatch Act Unit Chief Ana Galindo‐Marrone said in a letter sent in October. Galindo‐Marrone said Jean-Pierre and Bates had not appeared to use “MAGA” in an official capacity since their June infractions but that the OSC would keep watch for future violations.

Gosh, I wonder what they would do if they didn't take the law and upholding the Hatch Act seriously.  Give them a bonus?

Ask them to send a rep out to do the measuring.

Meet him on-site with your builder and agree everything.

Yes the rep said they would send a person out to do the actual measuring.  I raised the same issue with them saying that though we had an architect plan there was no guarantee that the actual construction was perfect to the plan.

I strongly recommend painting them with silver oil based paint (it goes on like water) mine were welded on site, and the builder painted them at the time, curious I found out that it is the best for galv. as here in Thailand it is cold Galv. coated, starts to rust fairly quickly going by bits left over, after painting no rust came, that paint can also cover rust.

The SCG system I looked at was Galvanized Steel.  It was bolted together.  The only welding was there were something called a stud beam.  This as I understand it was a beam attached to each pillar and welded.  Then the roof assembly is bolted to the stud beam.  The remainder of the roof truss assembly would be lifted into place and bolted together.

there is a declassification procedure that Trump never followed regarding the classified documents he stole.

Again you keep missing the point.  Lets say Trump is guilty of everything you say he is.  

MY POINT SEE IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS.  

ONLY HE IS BEING SINGLED OUT FOR PROSECUTION

I have challenged you on several occasions. I will do it again.  Name 1 just 1 other person or company that the NY attorney generals office has gone to a bank, subpoened records and then charged them with inflating the value of supporting documents given to the bank, when the bank did not complain. 

You talk about Trump and the classified documents.  OK lets say he should not have had them.  NEITHER SHOULD BIDEN.  THEY WERE STORED IN HIS CORVETTE.  AT LEAST TRUMPS WERE IN MAR LARGO WHICH WAS SECURED BY THE SECRET SERVCIE.  So who who was the most guilty Biden or Trump in mishandling the documents

With Hillary, she not only had classified material BUT SHE SHARED IT WITH HUMA ABEDIN AND CHERYL MILLS.  Trump did not share the documents so again who is more guilty and who is being prosecuted

If you only use the government and its agencies to go against your polticial enemies.  

THAT IS WEAPONIZING. AND THAT SIR IS WHAT IS BEING DONE HERE. 

This has been a strategy from the very beginning.  Keep prosecuting him, for whatever offenses you can find or dream up like Russia Gate.  Make him expend his energy and money fighting the government at every turn.

SCG supplied our steel trusses, erected on site in a day

With SCG  were your trusses Galvanized Steel?  The quote we had was for galvanized and my understanding is that though it does not rust, it does not have the weight bearing.  

I am building a bungalow home.  I have come across companies that do pre-engineered roof trusses.  They are slightly less expensive and supposedly go up much faster, and are stronger. 

However, I am a bit concerned since they obviously look at the architect plans and build to that spec.  If the home is actually slightly off, I worry the roof wont fit. 

Here is the checklist that the Truss company gave on the reason for all the advantages. 

Has anyone had experience with the pre-engineered truss roofs and can advise me as to whether they are a good or bad thing.  

I would save about 100,000 to 150,000 baht with the pre-enginnered but supposedly they go up in far less time, which is a huge advantage.

The quote in the image is characterising you quite accurately. Good choice!

No not at all,  Perhaps Trump is guilty however 

1. name one just one other person the state of NY has gone after for fabricating or inflating assets in a loan application where the bank has not filed a complaint. 

2. name one just one where the attorney general has even investigated a person or company without a complaint. 

If you can't see the difference, it is you that sees the truth but your hatred of Trump says that government can in fact weaponize itself against political opponents and not apply equal treatment and justice. 

The fact you had Biden, Clinton, and Berger all committ more aggregious violations of mishandling classified docuemnts but not being prosecuted with only Berger who not only stole the material but shredding it being given a misdomener.  

You liberals like to beat the mantra that No One Is Above The Law but you should put an asterisk by it, that the law does not apply to anyone who similarly is a liberal. 

Martha Stewart was accused of securities fraud but found not guilty.  She was however found guilty of .  two counts of lying to federal investigators (a securities fraud charge was dismissed) on March 5, 2004.  Who was the prosecuter.  James Comey the same James Comey that said no reasonable prosecutor would bring a charge against Hillary despite lying under oath. 

With liberals the laws are for Thee not for Me. 
 

Just drilled a well a few weeks ago, and I would like to get the water tested for both purity and to determine what I will need for a whole house filtration system.  In the USA it is a government requirement that all wells get tested so they provide the testing.  I have done a google search but don't find what I think are truly testing centers.  A lot of them are pool companies which I suspect do not do a very detailed job of determining what is in the water. 

Has anyone else used a service whether in Pattaya or mail in and can share that information.

Elise Stefanik is a Republican

 

This was as quoted in Google as a Democrat.  You are correct, I did not verify it. 

One way or another whether a Republican or Democrat IT IS WRONG TO WEAPONIZE GOVERNMENT

The famous Nixon "enemies list" showed the temptation to use the resources of the government to pummel an opponent.

The Chinese are neither Democrats or Republican and they would hardly consider Trump to be a friend.

They have no political prejudice and even the Chinese can see that Trump indictments are a political strategy to take out an opponent, not a quest for equal justice. 

 

‘Systemic dysfunction’

Following Trump’s first indictments, China’s state-run Global Times wrote in March that US “political and legal tools” were being “weaponized to attack political opponents”, a situation that the news organization said would sow more chaos in an already polarized society.

Could there be a hint of jealousy here? 

No jealousy.  Merely a fact.    If you have to have the government subsidize something in order to sell it, it is proof that the product on its own merit would not be attractive.  The very fact it needs the subsidy proves it to be a faulty idea that without the subsidy would fail.  

If you subsidize something with enough money, you could get a car that costs $2 million USD to sell.  However the problem as Margaret Thatcher once said.  Eventually you run out of "other peoples money"

just give me a rundown you expat older guys ,would someone like Kevin be welcome?

I didn't know this site was not being used to troll for dates but this is exactly what this OP did 

The study from the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) found, for example, that the average 2021 electric vehicle “would cost $48,698 more to own over a 10-year period without $22 billion in government favors given to EV manufacturers and owners.” https://t.co/bu1hwp7Sma

— Bud Brigham (@bmbrigham) October 27, 2023

The study found that the only thing making electric vehicles cheaper to run than traditional gasoline cars is a "wide array of direct subsidies, regulatory credits, and subsidized infrastructure that contribute to the economic viability of EVs."

“Adding the costs of the subsidies to the true cost of fueling an EV would equate to an EV owner paying $17.33 per gallon of gasoline," the report stated. "And these estimates do not include the hundreds of billions more in subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act."

EV's  A solution that doesn't work for a problem that doesn't exist.
