Here are the reasons why Millennials don’t ride motorcycles:

Pants won’t pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.
Can’t get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.
Can’t use 2 hands to eat while driving.
They don’t get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.
Don’t have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped.
Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency care.
Motorcycles don’t have air conditioning.
They can’t afford one because they spent 12 years in college trying to get educated in gender studies.
They are allergic to fresh air.
Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.
They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.
The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch screen.
You have to shift manually and use something called a clutch.
It’s too hard to take selfies while riding.
They don’t come with training wheels like their bicycles did.
Motorcycles don’t have power steering or power brakes.
Their nose ring interferes with the face shield.
They would have to use leg muscle to back up.
When they stop, a light breeze might blow exhaust in their face.
They would need to upgrade before the in transit expired.
It could rain on them and expose them to non-soft water.

Sounds like what Steingar has been saying but with a “So what? What’s wrong with that if it gets us what we want.”

Kim has been use to getting something for nothing.  Trump walking away sends a clear message that the rules have changed.

 Kim has everything to lose here. Every day NK is under sanctions it's squeezing him more and more.

He'll be back to the table.

The tearing down of statues and renaming of landmarks, buildings, etc is so reminiscent of what the communist do when they take over..     Coincidence?

1790
The "New Green Deal" is nothing more than a distraction, and it's working remarkably well.

First off, it's a trial balloon.  Float it out there and see if anything takes off.  Use that info for 2020.

Second, it detracts from the Border Fence issue.  The progressives are losing that fight with the President and the public.

Third, the "Trump-Russia" hoax is collapsing.  All indications are the "Mueller Report" will be anti climatic and not provide the progressives with what they were after, which was to remove the President.

Pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

1791
Whether he was or wasn't, isn't it understandable that they would THINK that he was, in view of his many contradictory statements after he fired Comey?

 Have you actually read about any of this?   Seriously.   Or are you just relying on MSM coverage?

 Do you even realize how, and why Comey was fired?  Are you aware that Jeff Sessions wrote a letter recommending Comey's removal?  Are you also aware that Rod Rosenstein also wrote a letter recommending Comey's removal?

 Comey was fired for cause, which was he was a buffoon as the FBI Director and was doing a terrible job.  It was also starting to come out that Comey, in conjunction with McCabe, was leaking classified information to the media.

 The whole "Comey was fired to suppress the Mueller investigation" is just another hoax being perpetuated by the left and the MSM with no basis in reality or truth.



In particular, that "this thing between Trump and Russia is a made up story" and "now the pressure [over Russia] is off"? That they'd be in a panic that their investigation might be shut down if McCabe and others were fired too?

 Huh?  ???


I guess if you think they were all out to bring Trump down from the get-go, it all sounds like spin to prop up a hatchet job and hide abuse of investigative authority. I'm not convinced yet. We've heard only one side of that story so far; McCabe hasn't said anything about the Fusion GPS affair AFAIK. Feel free to believe conspiracy theories, I'll keep an open mind until we have all the facts.

 It's painfully obvious you are only getting your info through MSM.  It's also obvious you aren't aware of what has actually been going on (not surprising, the MSM has turned a deaf ear to the facts)

 Here's the story in a nutshell (based on factual events)

1) The "Trump-Russia Collusion" is nothing more than a hoax perpetrated by the Clinton Campaign to get the DoJ/FBI to investigate and possibly remove Trump from office.

2) The DoJ/FBI senior officials (Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Ohr, Baker) committed several felonies in order to "investigate" the President, including lying on FISA applications.

3) Comey was fired for cause, which President Trump has been forthcoming about.  The constitution gives the President authority to fire anyone in the executive branch, for any reason.

4) There has been zero evidence found (after two years) of any collusion (which is not even a crime), or any "obstruction of justice".

5) The Senate Investigation, led by Sen Burr has concluded "No evidence of Russian Collusion" by the President or his campaign.

6) The Congressional Committee under Devin Nunes, after two years also concluded the same.

7) All indictments of Robert Mueller show no collusion was committed.  Furthermore, of the indictments so far, none were connected to the President.

8) Gen Flynn was set up by McCabe.  The FBI agents that interviewed Flynn even stated in their documents they felt Flynn was being honest.  This was later changed in order to indict Flynn.

 I could go on and on.  Again, this is all factual and is out there.  The MSM is largely ignoring it because it totally sinks the "Trump Russia" narrative which they have been hoping would drive the President from office.

Well them maybe those bandying about the word "coup" are misusing it.

The 25th amendment provides for a way to removing a sitting President.  It is written into the Constitution, therefore, as long as they follow the law, they are not doing anything illegal.

It is a difficult process and if someone initiates the effort and finds that the impediments are too tough, then nothing happens.  However, if they can navigate the law and comply with the Constitution, then HOW EXACTLY IS THAT ILLEGAL?

We have a President.  Not a King or an Emperor.

Bullshit. 

The 25th Amendment is not a “way to remove a President”.  That’s the msm ignorant interpretation.

To lawfully remove a President it’s covered in the constitution by a process of impeachment.  The 25th is a way to replace a President in the event he can’t fulfill his obligation. It was never ever intended to circumvent the impeachment process.

Quote
In the matter of the border wall, Congress could not have been more clear where it was heading. It put itself on the path to institutional irrelevancy, and it has finally arrived. I do not agree there is a national emergency on the southern border, but I do believe President Trump will prevail. This crisis is not the making of Donald Trump. This is the making of Congress.

For decades, Congress frittered away control over its authority, including the power of the purse. I have testified before Congress, warning about the expansion of executive power and the failure of Congress to guard its own authority. The two primary objections have been Congress giving presidents largely unchecked authority and undedicated money. The wall funding controversy today is a grotesque result of both of these failures.

Quote
While Democrats insist this emergency declaration is simply an effort to use executive power to get what Congress would not give Trump, any litigation would be an effort to use judicial power to do much the same thing. The House of Representatives would try to convince a federal judge of the merits against a wall, after failing to convince enough members of Congress to override the emergency declaration and a presidential veto.

That brings us back to Holmes. Congress has the authority to rescind the national emergency declaration of Trump with a vote of both chambers. The legislative branch should do so. If Congress cannot muster the votes, however, a federal judge is unlikely to do so. Simply put, the courts were not created to protect Congress from itself. Congress has been heading to hell for decades, and it is a bit late to complain about the destination.

It's amazing to see all the news stories about people being pissed about smaller tax refunds.  Then waaaaaaaaaay down the story it finally says that taxes are lower and withholding was lower so people really ended up with more money.  But no... they only see their refunds, not the larger paychecks.  Tax refunds are NOT gifts from the government!

It’s shocking the number of people that can’t see that all they’ve done is give the government an interest free loan when they get a rebate check.

They didn’t learn from the mortgage loan fiasco. Giving loans to people who cannot afford them is cruel to them, it’s not doing them a favor. It leads to bankruptcy and ruined credit. They never learn to live within their means. There is a disturbing trend among the young to expect middle class lifestyle before they’ve earned it. New cars, big houses, before they have built a solid financial foundation.

One of the primary driving forces for cheap easy money are the Democrats.

Also in the government wanting to economic engineer as well as the the car manufacturers lobby, the cheap easy money promotes selling more cars.  Loans are not uncommon in the 72 month range, which if one does the math, is down right stupid.

I pay cash for cars and drive used ones.  Buying anything new that depreciates as bad as an auto is simply tossing good money away.

 Also, this is right below the surface, just as the cheap easy mortgages. This will rear its ugly head again soon as more people start defaulting.

The deception in all of this is these are just trial balloons being floated, to see what takes hold.

The progressives have been set back in a major way.  First, they finally won the White House with the Empty Suit.  He was suppose to bring about their fundamental transformation which in part would have ensured that the conservatives would never hold power again.  Then he got caught up in the celebrity of being president and, as an amateur would do, began screwing up left and right. 

 Their next hope was a sickly tired old crook, Felonious Von Pantsuits.  She could be easily bought and with her pathological lying disorder she would never feel anything about screwing someone, or group over.  Plus she had a political machine to help her rig the election, so it would be a shoe in.

The Nov 2016 happened.  The epic meltdown began when they (progressives) lost the WH and congress.  Their dreams were shattered, and now they realized it would take years to get back where they were in 2009. 

 The progressives are dismayed that there are actually people in this country that will not follow them.  So?  Well that's obvious, destroy all those who will not comply, and destroy anything that those "dispicable deplorables" will listen to and agree with.

 They need something, anything, to wrestle power back to them in 2020.  The current President has pointed out and called out all of their failures, as well as pulling back the curtain to let Americans see just how vile and contemptible the progressives truly are.

 In progressive mentality, they feel their base will expand by starting the wholesale socialist state by giving everything away for free (well, not exactly free, but the masses don't need to know the details, after all, socialism is for the people, not the socialist). 

 Stay tuned, as we have not seen the bottom of how low they will go yet.
