NBC OUT Court rules against Oregon bakers who refused to make gay wedding cakeby John Paul Brammer / Dec.28.2017 / 3:12 PM ET
The Oregon Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a $135,000 fine against two Christian bakers who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
The case began back in January 2013, when Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of the since-closed Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery just outside Portland, Oregon, cited their religious beliefs when declining to make a wedding cake for Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer.
Following the incident, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries found the Kleins in violation of a 2007 state law that protects the rights of LGBTQ people in employment, housing and public accommodations. In 2015, the couple was ordered to pay the Bowman-Cryers emotional distress damages.
Democrats Struggle to Convert Voter Enthusiasm Into Cash Contributions
Party approaches 2018 midterms with large fundraising disadvantage over Republican National Committee
The Democratic National Committee had $6.3 million in the bank on Dec. 1, while the Republican National Committee had six times as much, at $40 million, according to documents the parties filed with the Federal Election Commission. In November, the DNC posted its worst fundraising amount for the month in a decade. . .
And sit down for this shocker—Barack Obama cared more about himself than the Party:
The party’s challenges trace back to the eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency. He built his own fundraising and data operation apart from the DNC, setting the party back even while he was in office. In a January interview with ABC, Mr. Obama said: “We did not begin what I think needs to happen over the long haul, and that is rebuild the Democratic Party at the ground level.”
In 2015, the couple was ordered to pay the Bowman-Cryers emotional distress damages. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
what a racket. troll a christian bakery and clean out their cash register. i'm old enough to remember when mob protection rackets were illegal.
"nice little bakery ya got there. it would be a shame if something happened to it."
He can't write or win an argument who has to resort to childish insults.
Me? No. Just a blogger who has by his own determination has remained sober for five years, six months and four days. I have joined a long list of successful recovering alcoholics. George W Bush is an example. Like his politics or not, he's reminded sober through his own determination and the grace of God.
Obama flew by him as worst and most corrupt president ever and more is coming to light daily, despite a press that acts like the 3 monkeys (seem hear, speak).
CS. We have a separation of church and state. They violated the state law that the courts have upheld repeatedly. The bakers were discriminating against the rights of two women, who were born gay. Its not a choice CS. You would have the state enforce your particular beliefs because they are gay.
Blogger Commonsense said... Roger celebrates religious persecution. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
except for islam. those crazies scare the shit out of him. he's too much of coward to ever cross a moose-limb.
A tyrant declares himself that he alone can control the Department of justice. He could order the arrests of Hillary Clinton and would have to, by the Constitution, charge her with a crime within 72 hours. But if he's in charge, he could order the department to ignore any court ruling that demanded her release.
Roger... are you suggesting that a privately owned bakery is the state?
Either way, this case is irrelevant as a similar case has been heard by the USSC and a decision will be made this summer. According to most every legal analysts it's another 5-4 decision with Kennedy delivering the key vote.
Which way he goes is a mystery, but those on the side of the baker are feeling better than those on the side of the gay couple. Kennedy openly suggested that "tolerance" is a two way street, and the State in that case was not being very "tolerant" of the religious views of the baker.
The historical legal standards of the religious objection arguments has never been a matter of absolute, but always a matter of balancing both views and making sure that every consideration is taken on behalf of avoiding the conflict (which is why a pharmacist is allowed to refuse to provide birth control, as long as another pharmacist is available to do so... but in some cases where another pharmacist is not available, the courts have looked at it differently).
Kennedy also made some key statements during the gay marriage decision, where many people were critical of the "slippery slope" argument that making gay marriage legal, would open up those personally opposed to legal and civil actions. Kennedy rejected the slippery slope argument, and probably feels some obligation to strike a balance.
bottom line. An appeals court decision on a similar case will have no bearing on how the USSC will rule, or what the long standing legal standard will end up being.
But it is another glaring example of how intolerant you are of people you disagree with. It must suck to be angry 99% of the time with those you disagree with. If I was as angry as you all the time, it would probably lead me to drink or take up opioids.

i'm sure skeets would say something like that, especially since both of his AG's were as corrupt as hell,. but that's not what trump said. furthermore, the DOJ IS a cabinet level position and is a federal executive dept. trump nominates the AG, and the AG serves at the pleasure of the president.
and get this - while you were strung out on narcon not long ago, trump actually fired the very crooked and corrupt director of the FBI. he derived that power from the fact that the FBI rolls up under the DOJ.
You almost made sense. Then you resorted to a request you discourse personal insults.
But it is another glaring example of how intolerant you are of people you disagree with. It must suck to be angry 99% of the time with those you disagree with. If I was as angry as you all the time, it would probably lead me to drink or take up opioids.
I'm sober and as you know personally that alcoholism is an inherited tendency. Then you inaccurately me of addiction to opioid.
You are no longer Thecoldheatruth seeker. Your a partisan hack and in this case a hypocrit of epic proportions.
I am just saying that if I lived with the same overwhelming anger that you do all the time... that it would probably lead "me" to depression, alcoholism, and drug use...

i'm going to give you a piece of advice that i should not have to give a straight 'A' english student/worlds greatest AA orator with an IQ bouncing between 137 and 138:
if you could control your anger AND your chronic narcissism to the point where you didn't feel compelled to share every aspect of your personal life we wouldn't be able to exploit it.
there's a cause and effect thing working here sport. you share something new, we ridicule and exploit. rocket science it ain't.
i don't give a fuck how often you go to the gym, what's up with your wife, how long you've been sober, what your goonion pension is, or how often you worship at your altar devoted to 0linsky.
iow's, you keep acting like a narcissistic asshole, i will continue to treat you like a narcissistic asshole.
The only way that selling a cake is a religious practice is if the cake itself is a religious artifact, revered as holy by the practitioners.
Cult of the Risen Yeast, or something like that.
The Supreme Court does cite precedent from lower courts, but is not bound to them. Arguments before the Supreme Court are replete with references to lower court decisions. The Oregon Appeals decision will be relevant to the similar case that is to be heard by the Supreme Court later this summer.
True narcissists with even moderately high intelligence are very aware that excessive exhibition is vulnerable to mockery, and become adept at avoiding that. Just saying, "narcissist" is a misdiagnosis.

Trump said that his approval rating is the same as Obama in the same time period of time.
Politico reported Overall, the Real Clear Politics polling average shows Trump with a 39.3 percent approval rating and a 56.2 disapproval rating, historically poor numbers for a president at this point in his first term. Obama, in late December of his first year in office, had an average approval rating of 49.9 percent, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average, and a disapproval rating of 44.5 percent.
You have a narrow understanding of religion if all you think it is is ceremony, relics and empty mummery.
On the contrary, I'm saying that this obsession with the cake is "relics and empty mummery."
Communion with the wafers, or I guess you could use little slices of cake, is a religious ceremony. The wafers are blessed, and deemed holy. Eating them is supposed to mean something. Refusing to sell the blessed wafers to a non-practitioner IS a legitimate practice of religion.
The cake, to be on that same level, has to have the same religious significance. The only way, and I mean literally there is no other way, is if the bakers hold their cakes to be holy, not only to them but to their entire religion. It is ridiculous because THEY are ridiculous.
Church of the Risen Yeast is appropriate for that kind of hypocrite.
You have a narrow understanding of religion if all you think it is is ceremony, relics and empty mummery. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
he's setting up another troll where only his interpretation of religion is acceptable. funny thing is, that's easy to get away with regarding christianity and judaism, but try that shit with a follower of islam and they bury you in two pieces.
No, it's about living the teachings and conscience of your religion and doing what's right and wrong according to those teachings.
Uh-huh, and what is the greatest of Christian graces according to the founder of Christianity? Charity, more precisely agape in the scriptures. What does every variant say about judgmental actions? Whatever they're doing, it's not living the teachings and conscience of the Christian religion. Therefore, hypocrites.
People have died horrible deaths for those teachings.
Then you might understand why I speak out against these bakers' mockery of them, elevating their cakes to holy status.
On the other hand nobody would die for "the church of the rising yeast". Your comment is childish, insensitive and patiently offensive.
Only to the hypocrites and modern-day Pharisees who wear the mask of righteousness, delighting in public display of their devotion while their actions deny the teachings of justice, mercy and faithfulness to God.
What does every variant say about judgmental actions? Whatever they're doing, it's not living the teachings and conscience of the Christian religion. Therefore, hypocrites.
huh. sold ol' JC himself was a world class hypocrite when he went ape shit and bounced all the moneychangers from the temple. that was probably h one of his more judgemental actions.
i know, i know, i took the troll bait. probably shouldn't have but i had a momentary lapse of reason.
And by the way, the Oregon court ruled that selling the cake would NOT burden the bakers' right to the free exercise of their religion. That is correct and sufficient for legal purposes.
As an individual also with the right to free expression and to the free exercise of my religion, I go further and state without reservation that the Kleins' actions were not practicing the Christian religion in the first place. Not any of the variants of Christianity. They instead used it as a pretext to promote their own arrogant bigotry.
Seems WP is rather selective as well as ignorant of those teachings.
The passage says nothing about that being the greatest of virtues.
Corinthians 13:13 is the answer. Galatians 5:6.
Read and learn before calling others ignorant.
rrb said...huh. sold ol' JC himself was a world class hypocrite when he went ape shit and bounced all the moneychangers from the temple.
Because they were doing their immoral commerce in the house of prayers. I would identify the Kleins with those driven out, wouldn't you? Since their cakes are holy and all, yet they use them for commerce.

before or after i drop my weekly donation envelope in the basket?
face it, even the church needs their $$$. staying open costs money.
at the end of the day i wish those celebrating the large fine would just be honest and admit this is about stomping those who would act in accordance with their faith, and that the LGBTQWERTY crowd would admit that this is about their lifestyle trumping a couple thousand years of religious doctrine. furthermore, the kleins didn't act out of malice or hate; they acted out of devotion to their faith.
if you must paint those who oppose gay marriage as haters, you don't have much respect for your own lifestyle. there are gay trolls out there looking to cash big checks and destroy people and businesses, and there are people who would quietly say they understand and visit the next bakery in town.
every pair of gays i've seen pull this shit around here have been nothing but trolls.
And by the way, the Oregon court ruled that selling the cake would NOT burden the bakers' right to the free exercise of their religion. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
no kidding. it's oregon for chrissakes. i'm surprised they didn't order the klein's to be stoned to death in the town square.
the oregon court is just as disingenuous in their motives as the gays. worse perhaps. the gays attack the religious with glee and malice. the court attacks them from behind a shroud of stoic jurisprudence.
The biggest winner: The "Fake News". They exposed to the public, the worst President in the history of the United States as a liar of epic proportions.
The biggest loser is the Republican party. Donald Trump has divided into incompatible branches. One is the establishment who is also divided. It has an old fashioned limited government, low tax and low deficit section and one that has signed on with the President on the deficit. The other half is the Bannon branch. They have been defeated in every race they got involved in. They are making it difficult for the Republicans to get money from the big packs.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Puerto Rico authorities say nearly half of power customers in the U.S. territory still lack electricity more than three months after Hurricane Maria.
Officials said Friday that 55 percent of the nearly 1.5 million customers have power. It is the first time the government has given that statistic since the Category 4 storm hit on Sept. 20 with winds of up to 154 mph. It has previously reported power generation, which stands at nearly 70 percent of pre-storm levels.
Only the most left-wing ignorant hack would try the blame Trump for the slow progress in restoring power to Puerto Rico.
The entire infrastructure was destroyed by two hurricanes and Roger thinks you can just wave a magic wand in get everybody power.
It does work that was even if the management of PREPA was honest and efficient and we all know they were far from that.
As I said before the storm, Puerto Rico suffered from years of neglect by a corrupt Democrat political machine and it will take years for the Island to recover.
I went through he worst flash flood in the history of the United States on June 9 1972, The Rapid City flood was a 500 year flood. 238 people died, several I knew. Thousands of houses were destroyed, every power line was knocked out, the polls and all the wiring was destroyed. We got power back within 30 days. Rapid City is divided by a mountain ridge, and every single bridge that provided access to the city was destroyed. Until the national guard installed temporary bridges, we could not get across town. The city was about 45000 at the time but it was not densely populated, and the surrounding non incorporated areas were powerless too.
I went through he worst flash flood in the history of the United States on June 9 1972, The Rapid City flood was a 500 year flood. 238 people died, several I knew.
Yeah because 7 square miles in Rapid City is exactly the same as 3,515 square miles in Puerto Rico.
Shit for brains, you know nothing. You're an ignorant ass who would be making excuses if the president was still Barack Obama.
Speaker Ryan should be prepared to be the minority leader.
Nancy, although not my choice, will be the speaker of the house next January. Not the one in two days, I knew the k'putz would have claimed I am stoned and missed it by a year. But the house will change hands.
The Senate, it could be closer than most think. Even my old home for eight years, in Montana, the Republican holds a 4% lead.
Despite the economy, the President, who is not going to change, is going to remain deeply disliked. The women and the millennial are going to be more motivated to vote contrary to Trump in most cases. Even in some of the deep red parts of the country, if they have decent sixed middle class, and / or higher educated voting blocks, the Democrats are goiing to do better than they have in about 11 years.
There is a an #imppeachment movement, but I just don't see it taking into effect, unless we see something huge coming out of the Mueller investigation. Then all things are open. And no folks, they are not going to "lock her up".
Rapid City is more than seven square miles. Gee I grew up there and I know better lol.
Yeah, it's not an island with 3 million people, but the resources were provided in an incredibly short tie. IT's more than 3.5 miles x 3.5 miles across, idiot.
The entire electrical system was on power polls, nothing underground. So the power companies from the surrounding states and the National Guard engineering unit that was based there did incredible work.

The department also dropped several appeals over Trump's transgender military service policy, choosing instead to keep the challenges in district courts for now.

Winning Bigly President Trump extended a welcome had to 80 US Coast Guard Members to GOLF at his golf course and Resort as a "Thank You" for a job well done responding to the Hurricanes .
Loser: U.S. Senate The concept of the Senate as a place where the minority party could influence policy died in 2017. It had been dying for years but McConnell's decisions to reduce the cloture threshold to 51 for Supreme Court nominees and for sweeping modifications to tax policy killed it. Republicans that are gloating now will the the day when the tables are turned on them by a Democratic presidency and Senate.
SCHMIDT: What are you willing to do on infrastructure? How far are you willing to go? How much money?
TRUMP: I actually think we can get as many Democrat votes as we have Republican. Republicans want to see infrastructure. Michael, we have spent, as of about a month ago, $7 trillion in the Middle East. And the Middle East is worse than it was 17 years ago….And if you want $12 to fix up a road or a highway, you can’t get it…. I believe we can do health care in a bipartisan way, because now we’ve essentially gutted and ended Obamacare.
….Wait, wait, let me just tell you. … Also, beyond the individual mandate, but also [inaudible] associations. You understand what the associations are….So now I have associations….That’s gonna be millions and millions of people….Now I’ve ended the individual mandate. And the other thing I wish you’d tell people. So when I do this, and we’ve got health care, you know, McCain did his vote. … But what we have. I had a hundred congressmen that said no and I was able to talk them into it. They’re great people.
Two things: No. 1, I have unbelievably great relationships with 97 percent of the Republican congressmen and senators. I love them and they love me. That’s No. 1. And No. 2, I know more about the big bills. … [Inaudible.] … than any president that’s ever been in office. Whether it’s health care and taxes.
….I’ll tell you something [inaudible] … Put me on the defense, I was a great student and all this stuff. Oh, he doesn’t know the details, these are sick people….But Michael, I know the details of taxes better than anybody. Better than the greatest C.P.A. I know the details of health care better than most, better than most….I believe that because of the individual mandate and the associations, the Democrats will and certainly should come to me and see if they can do a really great health care plan for the remaining people.
Loser: U.S. Allies For 70+ years the U.S. has been the leading opponent of totalitarian states, and proponent of human rights. We stood with allies in NATO, in the Pacific (Japan, Australia, South Korea, and others) in promoting human rights, freedom, liberty, free elections and free markets as the path forward for civilization. In 2017 the U.S. largely abdicated that role, sucking up instead to regimes that deny human rights, jail opponents of the regime, etc.
Winner: Kim Jong Un Leader of a nation long regarded as an economic backwater and international pariah, albeit a nation with nuclear capability, the new U.S. regime in 2017 elevated Kim and his nation to a global player rather than the regional concern they should be with a combination of threats and personal insults by the regime's leader.
Loser: Sexual Predators The list of prominent men whose careers are likely over in the wake of the sexual predator revelations of 2017 is very long. To name them individually (or try to) is pointless - there have been so many that have been brought down that I would miss many by trying to create a list. Yes, there will continue to be sexual predators using their positions of (relative) power to prey on women. And yes, not all predators are men preying on women. But 2017 has dealt a serious blow to these predators.
Winner: Vladimir Putin Putin's efforts to (at a minimum) create discord in the U.S. and distrust among its populace in its government and institutions have succeeded wildly. Whether or not it was his express intent to install Trump as the nation's leader in 2017, that elevation has dramatically escalated the discord and distrust that already existed to levels rarely seen before in this country (the dissolution of the union in 1860/1861 is the most common comparison made in analyses I have read). Putin has increased Russia's influence in the Middle East as the U.S. has backed away, and only benefits from the vocal dismissals of NATO and of its European member states by Trump as it pursues expansionist territorial policies against neighbors such as the Ukraine.
Winner: Donald J. Trump The only thing that really matters to Trump is that he be the center of attention, and in this he succeeded tremendously in 2017. While Trump was forced to share the spotlight with Hillary Clinton through most of 2016, there was no other U.S. figure in 2017 who could divert the spotlight from Trump in 2017 for more than one news cycle. And when someone did manage to win a news cycle, Trump was certain to seize the spotlight back, either with some new outrageous tweet or open mic gaffe, or by stoking the flames of whatever event beat him out in that news cycle.
Loser: We The People In 2017 the Senate eliminated or actively circumvented the remaining procedures that had prevented small legislative majorities, in conjunction with a friendly Executive branch, from enacting sweeping changes without consideration of the middle Keith's interests. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the results on the issues in 2017, this bodes poorly for the future. When (not if) Democrats control both the Senate and the Executive, they will have just as easy a means and justification for enacting their partisan agenda as Republican license did this year. Look for more wild swings in legislation after future elections than occurs now. Look also for more blatant and extended deadlocks between the Senate and the Executive in the future over nominations when these are in opposing parties' control (i.e. Garland's treatment will become the norm, rather than an anomaly). We, the people, also lose from the shifting of the tax burden towards towards the middle class in the recent tax bill, both in the short term (by giving the wealthy and corporations the bulk of the immediate tax benefits) and the long term (by ending many of the middle class tax breaks after several years while making the tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy permanent). There are many other ways we, the people, have lost this year (e.g. threats by the Executive to shut down news outlets such as NBC that don't kowtow to the Executive). These losses are real and will be realized more fully over the longer term, no matter one's personal view is of the specific issue(s) involved in 2017.
Some other Winners and Losers (generally, no explanations necessary): Winners - Houston Astros Neil Gorsuch New Mexico State football team (congrats on first bowl game appearance, and win, since 1960!) The creators of Bitcoin
Losers - Roy Moore New York Giants Denver Broncos Puerto Rico Rick Pitino
Democrats used a rare parliamentary move to change the rules so that federal judicial nominees and executive-office appointments can advance to confirmation votes by a simple majority of senators, rather than the 60-vote supermajority that has been the standard for nearly four decades.
The immediate rationale for the move was to allow the confirmation of three picks by President Obama to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — the most recent examples of what Democrats have long considered unreasonably partisan obstruction by Republicans.
No other changes in the filibuster rule was made by the Republicans.
Loser: We The People In 2017 the Senate eliminated or actively circumvented the remaining procedures that had prevented small legislative majorities, in conjunction with a friendly Executive branch, from enacting sweeping changes without consideration of the middle Keith's interests.
This is just partisan political claptrap calling a tax cut that benefits the middle class a "burden on the middle class".
One notable omission from Indy's list of losers: Democrats
The party that, like a spoiled child, cannot accept the results of a presidential election and stuck with harebrained schemes of removing Trump via the 25th amendment or impeachment were the big losers of 2017.
And since they haven't learned their lesson, they are likely going to be a loser in 2018.
President Donald J Trump is awarded the highest honor of the Liar of The Year pants on Fire in 2017.
A mountain of evidence points to a single fact: Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential election of 2016.
In both classified and public reports, U.S. intelligence agencies have said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered actions to interfere with the election. Those actions included the cyber-theft of private data, the placement of propaganda against particular candidates, and an overall effort to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process.
See related rulings Members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, have held open and closed door hearings to probe Russia’s actions. The congressional investigations are ongoing.
Facebook, Google and Twitter have investigated their own networks, and their executives have concluded — in some cases after initial foot-dragging — that Russia used the online platforms in attempts to influence the election.
After all this, one man keeps saying it didn’t even happen.
"This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won," said President Donald Trump in an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt in May.
On Twitter in September, Trump said, "The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?"
And during an overseas trip to Asia in November, Trump spoke of meeting with Putin: "Every time he sees me, he says, ‘I didn't do that.’ And I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it." In the same interview, Trump referred to the officials who led the intelligence agencies during the election as "political hacks."
Trump continually asserts that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election is fake news, a hoax or a made-up story, even though there is widespread, bipartisan evidence to the contrary.
When the nation’s commander-in-chief refuses to acknowledge a threat to U.S. democracy, it makes it all the more difficult to address the problem. For this reason, we name Trump’s claim that the Russia interference is a hoax as our Lie of the Year for 2017.
Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests
I think Trump's approach to Iranian revolution will be considerably diffrent from Obama's.

the Rapid City Flood, was the most detrimental flood in South Dakota history, and the second most deadly flood in U.S. history.[1][better source needed][2] It took place on June 9–10, 1972[3] in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota. 15 inches (380 mm) of rainfall over six hours sent Rapid Creek and other waterways overflowing, flooding many residential and commercial properties in Rapid City. It also caused flooding of Battle, Spring, Bear Butte, and Boxelder Creeks.[4]

Deaths 238 During the night of June 9, Canyon Lake Dam became clogged with debris and failed, resulting in 238 deaths and 3,057 injuries. Several bodies were never found.[5] Over 1,335 homes and 5,000 automobiles were destroyed. The value of the damaged property was over US $160 million in 1972 dollars.
Rainfall began in the Black Hills area on the afternoon of June 9 when a group of almost-stationary thunderstorms formed over the eastern Black Hills. The heavy rains that fell until about midnight partly were the result of a strong low-level easterly airflow that forced moist air upslope over the Black Hills. This strong and sustained orographic effect caused the air to rise, cool, become very unstable, and release its moisture in repeating thunderstorms. Light winds at higher atmospheric levels allowed the storms to remain nearly stationary, which resulted in extremely heavy rainfall. Precipitation totals for June 9-10 ranged from 4 inches to more than 12 inches in the Rapid Creek watershed between Pactola Dam and Rapid City (fig. 2). In the Boxelder Creek watershed, 15 inches of rain during a 6-hour period was measured at Nemo. The heaviest rainfall averaged about four times the 6-hour amounts that are to be expected once every 100 years in the area (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1972).
WASHINGTON — During a night of heavy drinking at an upscale London bar in May 2016, George Papadopoulos, a young foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, made a startling revelation to Australia’s top diplomat in Britain: Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton.
As to the President. I disagree with him on most issues. That's politics. But his behavior is dangerous. He's making most of our allies are deeply concerned. A significant number of the Republicans in congress are very concerned. Balls you have analytical skills.
Read the entire interview with The New York Times in it's entirety. I was trying to just read it, but then his responses to the questions was often barely coherent. I don't think that you will be reassured in contrast to what I saw. Seriously, he is the President of the United States.

alky,
you're living proof that one should never believe an inebriated asshole.
HB brought up the puddles he lived thru to run from his topic of Poor-doo-rico's failed power grid prior to the Hurricane. He has yet to answef the question, what percent of residences Did Not have Electrcity?
This is all over the news and increasingly angry rrb insulted me.

Papadop has a big mouth and is a loud drunk, just like all R's The funny thing is once again trumps allegation it was hillary and the dossier that caused the investigation is about as correct as the kansan goat fucker ever being right... The truth will eventually come out in spite of trumps stone walling...
Sorry....I only saw them listed as a top 5 dow stock...... Too bad you only chase stocks like JC Penney and home depot....you could have made a lot of money in defense like I did....LOL!!!!
Good to have my wood furnace to keep my family warm.
And giving you the equivalent of a 2 pack a day cigarette habit in your home.....Breath deeply and get all the particulates in your lungs....idiot self sufficiency my ass.....
You obviously didn't take the time to read the interview. What you see as strong leadership is unfortunately the actions of a madman who has demonstrated impulsive and narcissistic behavior who endangers our country. We are at a far greater danger than we were with President Obama.

hey alky,
a blogger with a twitter account just destroyed your maggie haberman "bombshell" ny times story.
you need to stop taking the ny times, wapo, and cnn at face value.
As i said earlier, in spite of the goat screwer's weather reports, 2017 is going to be close to a record year for heat continuing the records of the past 4 years...
Near-record global temperature—despite no El Niño As of late December, the global surface temperature for 2017 appeared virtually certain to end up as the second or third warmest in global extending back to 1880. Assuming this is the case, then the world’s four warmest years on record will have all taken place since 2014. What’s especially eye-opening is that 2017 was a year of mainly weak La Niña conditions. Global temperatures are typically lower during La Niña and higher during and just after El Niño, which sends heat from the tropical oceans into the atmosphere. (You can find a dramatic animation of this phenomenon at skepticalscience.com.) It now appears 2017 will be the warmest year on record without any influence from an El Niño event.

Once again loretta posts without reading the source while fellating rathole....the twitter BS was as much BS as the inaugural crowds were the largest evah!!!!! Dayum stupid....
Then the asshole changed his mind and post another statement...
for a 100 % certain the Earth is too warm, yet can't tell us by how much.
and the asshole tossed in another variable
And you can't tell us what it would be without man.
I wonder why such a moronic mind can conjure up 3 divergent thoughts and expect an absolute number for today? Too stupid even for the moronic kansas asshole..

Court rules against Oregon bakers who refused to make gay wedding cakeby John Paul Brammer / Dec.28.2017 / 3:12 PM ET
The Oregon Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a $135,000 fine against two Christian bakers who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
The case began back in January 2013, when Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of the since-closed Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery just outside Portland, Oregon, cited their religious beliefs when declining to make a wedding cake for Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer.
Following the incident, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries found the Kleins in violation of a 2007 state law that protects the rights of LGBTQ people in employment, housing and public accommodations. In 2015, the couple was ordered to pay the Bowman-Cryers emotional distress damages.
Democrats Struggle to Convert Voter Enthusiasm Into Cash Contributions
Party approaches 2018 midterms with large fundraising disadvantage over Republican National Committee
The Democratic National Committee had $6.3 million in the bank on Dec. 1, while the Republican National Committee had six times as much, at $40 million, according to documents the parties filed with the Federal Election Commission. In November, the DNC posted its worst fundraising amount for the month in a decade. . .
And sit down for this shocker—Barack Obama cared more about himself than the Party:
The party’s challenges trace back to the eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency. He built his own fundraising and data operation apart from the DNC, setting the party back even while he was in office. In a January interview with ABC, Mr. Obama said: “We did not begin what I think needs to happen over the long haul, and that is rebuild the Democratic Party at the ground level.”

what a racket. troll a christian bakery and clean out their cash register. i'm old enough to remember when mob protection rackets were illegal.
"nice little bakery ya got there. it would be a shame if something happened to it."
The biggest loser was ISIS.
The combined strategies and especially in Iraq, where the government armed forces with American support devastated them. And yes in Syria too.
Trump does deserve credit for this victory. A winner for him and the world.
Roger celebrates religious persecution. First deny them their livelihoods, then deny them their lives.
That's how tyrants work.
Biggest loser on the blog.
Mr Alky.
He can't write or win an argument who has to resort to childish insults.
Me? No. Just a blogger who has by his own determination has remained sober for five years, six months and four days. I have joined a long list of successful recovering alcoholics. George W Bush is an example. Like his politics or not, he's reminded sober through his own determination and the grace of God.
BIGGEST WINNER --- JIMMY CARTER
Obama flew by him as worst and most corrupt president ever and more is coming to light daily, despite a press that acts like the 3 monkeys (seem hear, speak).
MAGA
CS. We have a separation of church and state. They violated the state law that the courts have upheld repeatedly. The bakers were discriminating against the rights of two women, who were born gay. Its not a choice CS. You would have the state enforce your particular beliefs because they are gay.

you're no blogger, junkie. you're just a commenter like the rest of us.
having your own blog makes you a blogger, and you're too chicken shit to start your own.

It is not separation of church and state when the state can dictate religious doctrine for you to follow on pain of fine or imprisonment.
That is state religion.
A tyrant declares himself that he alone can control the Department of justice. He could order the arrests of Hillary Clinton and would have to, by the Constitution, charge her with a crime within 72 hours. But if he's in charge, he could order the department to ignore any court ruling that demanded her release.
That's how dictatorships work.
You two make my points within minutes.
I'm going to take my clean and sober body back to sleep.
No opioid. Sorry about that.
We have a separation of church and state
Roger... are you suggesting that a privately owned bakery is the state?
Either way, this case is irrelevant as a similar case has been heard by the USSC and a decision will be made this summer. According to most every legal analysts it's another 5-4 decision with Kennedy delivering the key vote.
Which way he goes is a mystery, but those on the side of the baker are feeling better than those on the side of the gay couple. Kennedy openly suggested that "tolerance" is a two way street, and the State in that case was not being very "tolerant" of the religious views of the baker.
The historical legal standards of the religious objection arguments has never been a matter of absolute, but always a matter of balancing both views and making sure that every consideration is taken on behalf of avoiding the conflict (which is why a pharmacist is allowed to refuse to provide birth control, as long as another pharmacist is available to do so... but in some cases where another pharmacist is not available, the courts have looked at it differently).
Kennedy also made some key statements during the gay marriage decision, where many people were critical of the "slippery slope" argument that making gay marriage legal, would open up those personally opposed to legal and civil actions. Kennedy rejected the slippery slope argument, and probably feels some obligation to strike a balance.
bottom line. An appeals court decision on a similar case will have no bearing on how the USSC will rule, or what the long standing legal standard will end up being.
But it is another glaring example of how intolerant you are of people you disagree with. It must suck to be angry 99% of the time with those you disagree with. If I was as angry as you all the time, it would probably lead me to drink or take up opioids.

i'm sure skeets would say something like that, especially since both of his AG's were as corrupt as hell,. but that's not what trump said. furthermore, the DOJ IS a cabinet level position and is a federal executive dept. trump nominates the AG, and the AG serves at the pleasure of the president.
and get this - while you were strung out on narcon not long ago, trump actually fired the very crooked and corrupt director of the FBI. he derived that power from the fact that the FBI rolls up under the DOJ.
what a racket. troll a christian bakery and clean out their cash register. i'm old enough to remember when mob protection rackets were illegal.
The baker should be given their Subaru Outback.
"We could use some of that old fashioned global warming. "
You almost made sense. Then you resorted to a request you discourse personal insults.

I'm sober and as you know personally that alcoholism is an inherited tendency. Then you inaccurately me of addiction to opioid.
You are no longer Thecoldheatruth seeker. Your a partisan hack and in this case a hypocrit of epic proportions.
You almost made sense. Then you completely ignored your own request to resist personal insults and directed one at myself personally.
Don't be so paranoid Roger...
I am just saying that if I lived with the same overwhelming anger that you do all the time... that it would probably lead "me" to depression, alcoholism, and drug use...

i'm going to give you a piece of advice that i should not have to give a straight 'A' english student/worlds greatest AA orator with an IQ bouncing between 137 and 138:
if you could control your anger AND your chronic narcissism to the point where you didn't feel compelled to share every aspect of your personal life we wouldn't be able to exploit it.
there's a cause and effect thing working here sport. you share something new, we ridicule and exploit. rocket science it ain't.
i don't give a fuck how often you go to the gym, what's up with your wife, how long you've been sober, what your goonion pension is, or how often you worship at your altar devoted to 0linsky.
iow's, you keep acting like a narcissistic asshole, i will continue to treat you like a narcissistic asshole.
you capisce, you no capisce?
The only way that selling a cake is a religious practice is if the cake itself is a religious artifact, revered as holy by the practitioners.
Cult of the Risen Yeast, or something like that.
The Supreme Court does cite precedent from lower courts, but is not bound to them. Arguments before the Supreme Court are replete with references to lower court decisions. The Oregon Appeals decision will be relevant to the similar case that is to be heard by the Supreme Court later this summer.
True narcissists with even moderately high intelligence are very aware that excessive exhibition is vulnerable to mockery, and become adept at avoiding that. Just saying, "narcissist" is a misdiagnosis.

You have a narrow understanding of religion if all you think it is is ceremony, relics and empty mummery.

well, i was searching for something a little more scientific than asshat but if you say so.
Trump said that his approval rating is the same as Obama in the same time period of time.
Politico reported Overall, the Real Clear Politics polling average shows Trump with a 39.3 percent approval rating and a 56.2 disapproval rating, historically poor numbers for a president at this point in his first term. Obama, in late December of his first year in office, had an average approval rating of 49.9 percent, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average, and a disapproval rating of 44.5 percent.
You have a narrow understanding of religion if all you think it is is ceremony, relics and empty mummery.
On the contrary, I'm saying that this obsession with the cake is "relics and empty mummery."
Communion with the wafers, or I guess you could use little slices of cake, is a religious ceremony. The wafers are blessed, and deemed holy. Eating them is supposed to mean something. Refusing to sell the blessed wafers to a non-practitioner IS a legitimate practice of religion.
The cake, to be on that same level, has to have the same religious significance. The only way, and I mean literally there is no other way, is if the bakers hold their cakes to be holy, not only to them but to their entire religion. It is ridiculous because THEY are ridiculous.
Church of the Risen Yeast is appropriate for that kind of hypocrite.
You have a narrow understanding of religion if all you think it is is ceremony, relics and empty mummery.

No, it's about living the teachings and conscience of your religion and doing what's right and wrong according to those teachings.
People have died horrible deaths for those teachings.
On the other hand nobody would die for "the church of the rising yeast".

Uh-huh, and what is the greatest of Christian graces according to the founder of Christianity? Charity, more precisely agape in the scriptures. What does every variant say about judgmental actions? Whatever they're doing, it's not living the teachings and conscience of the Christian religion. Therefore, hypocrites.

Then you might understand why I speak out against these bakers' mockery of them, elevating their cakes to holy status.

Only to the hypocrites and modern-day Pharisees who wear the mask of righteousness, delighting in public display of their devotion while their actions deny the teachings of justice, mercy and faithfulness to God.
I would be careful about throwing the charge of hypocrisy around WP.
You leave yourself rather exposed when you avocate human rights except for the most basic human right of all.

huh. sold ol' JC himself was a world class hypocrite when he went ape shit and bounced all the moneychangers from the temple. that was probably h
one of his more judgemental actions.
i know, i know, i took the troll bait. probably shouldn't have but i had a momentary lapse of reason.
Pres*, promise in obumblecare was longer lives for all Americans. Yet in 2015 and again in 2016 Life Expectancy dropped.
Speaking of living the teachings and conscience of the Christian religion:
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
Timothy 5:22
Seems WP is rather selective as well as ignorant of those teachings.

And by the way, the Oregon court ruled that selling the cake would NOT burden the bakers' right to the free exercise of their religion. That is correct and sufficient for legal purposes.
As an individual also with the right to free expression and to the free exercise of my religion, I go further and state without reservation that the Kleins' actions were not practicing the Christian religion in the first place. Not any of the variants of Christianity. They instead used it as a pretext to promote their own arrogant bigotry.
Timothy 5:22
Seems WP is rather selective as well as ignorant of those teachings.
The passage says nothing about that being the greatest of virtues.
Corinthians 13:13 is the answer. Galatians 5:6.
Read and learn before calling others ignorant.
rrb said...huh. sold ol' JC himself was a world class hypocrite when he went ape shit and bounced all the moneychangers from the temple.
Because they were doing their immoral commerce in the house of prayers. I would identify the Kleins with those driven out, wouldn't you? Since their cakes are holy and all, yet they use them for commerce.
Wrong again, Christian teaching is clear about homosexual "marriage" being a sin.
And as Timothy 5:22 said "neither be partaker of other men's sins"
The Oregon courts are forcing them into what they consider a sinful act by partaking the celebration.
Not the mention they are compelling force labor. Something that should have ended with the 13th amendment.
The only arrogant bigotry here is the state causing suffering to a couple for following their conscience.
Is there any part of Obumblecare that came true?
Because they were doing their immoral commerce in the house of prayers. I would identify the Kleins with those driven out, wouldn't you?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
before or after i drop my weekly donation envelope in the basket?
face it, even the church needs their $$$. staying open costs money.
at the end of the day i wish those celebrating the large fine would just be honest and admit this is about stomping those who would act in accordance with their faith, and that the LGBTQWERTY crowd would admit that this is about their lifestyle trumping a couple thousand years of religious doctrine. furthermore, the kleins didn't act out of malice or hate; they acted out of devotion to their faith.
if you must paint those who oppose gay marriage as haters, you don't have much respect for your own lifestyle. there are gay trolls out there looking to cash big checks and destroy people and businesses, and there are people who would quietly say they understand and visit the next bakery in town.
every pair of gays i've seen pull this shit around here have been nothing but trolls.
And by the way, the Oregon court ruled that selling the cake would NOT burden the bakers' right to the free exercise of their religion.

no kidding. it's oregon for chrissakes. i'm surprised they didn't order the klein's to be stoned to death in the town square.
the oregon court is just as disingenuous in their motives as the gays. worse perhaps. the gays attack the religious with glee and malice. the court attacks them from behind a shroud of stoic jurisprudence.
Corinthians 13:13 is the answer.
1 Corinthians 6 is more to the point.
Liberals are about forcing everyone to do as they want.
The reason Trump won was to tyrn back that kind of sheep-thinking.
Loser HB, he predicted "Dow 17,000".
The biggest winner: The "Fake News". They exposed to the public, the worst President in the history of the United States as a liar of epic proportions.
The biggest loser is the Republican party. Donald Trump has divided into incompatible branches. One is the establishment who is also divided. It has an old fashioned limited government, low tax and low deficit section and one that has signed on with the President on the deficit. The other half is the Bannon branch. They have been defeated in every race they got involved in. They are making it difficult for the Republicans to get money from the big packs.
Most incompetent President ever.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Puerto Rico authorities say nearly half of power customers in the U.S. territory still lack electricity more than three months after Hurricane Maria.
Officials said Friday that 55 percent of the nearly 1.5 million customers have power. It is the first time the government has given that statistic since the Category 4 storm hit on Sept. 20 with winds of up to 154 mph. It has previously reported power generation, which stands at nearly 70 percent of pre-storm levels.
Only the most left-wing ignorant hack would try the blame Trump for the slow progress in restoring power to Puerto Rico.
The entire infrastructure was destroyed by two hurricanes and Roger thinks you can just wave a magic wand in get everybody power.
It does work that was even if the management of PREPA was honest and efficient and we all know they were far from that.
As I said before the storm, Puerto Rico suffered from years of neglect by a corrupt Democrat political machine and it will take years for the Island to recover.
If it was populated by Trump voters, there would not have been any delay, it would be almost complete.
So the Russians only fooled Democrats into voting Trump.
K
HB, how many did not have power prior to the breeze.
Neo-Nazi's and white supremacists are not honorable people.
I went through he worst flash flood in the history of the United States on June 9 1972, The Rapid City flood was a 500 year flood. 238 people died, several I knew. Thousands of houses were destroyed, every power line was knocked out, the polls and all the wiring was destroyed. We got power back within 30 days. Rapid City is divided by a mountain ridge, and every single bridge that provided access to the city was destroyed. Until the national guard installed temporary bridges, we could not get across town. The city was about 45000 at the time but it was not densely populated, and the surrounding non incorporated areas were powerless too.
Yawn
HB, just admit you don't know the Percent of poor-doo-rico's that did and did not have Electricity prior to the Breeze.
Such a stupid question. The power should be a lot farther along.
Just admit you don't know HB.

Yeah because 7 square miles in Rapid City is exactly the same as 3,515 square miles in Puerto Rico.
Shit for brains, you know nothing. You're an ignorant ass who would be making excuses if the president was still Barack Obama.
Bingo.
2018 will be the "year of the woman".
Speaker Ryan should be prepared to be the minority leader.
Nancy, although not my choice, will be the speaker of the house next January. Not the one in two days, I knew the k'putz would have claimed I am stoned and missed it by a year. But the house will change hands.
The Senate, it could be closer than most think. Even my old home for eight years, in Montana, the Republican holds a 4% lead.
Despite the economy, the President, who is not going to change, is going to remain deeply disliked. The women and the millennial are going to be more motivated to vote contrary to Trump in most cases. Even in some of the deep red parts of the country, if they have decent sixed middle class, and / or higher educated voting blocks, the Democrats are goiing to do better than they have in about 11 years.
There is a an #imppeachment movement, but I just don't see it taking into effect, unless we see something huge coming out of the Mueller investigation. Then all things are open. And no folks, they are not going to "lock her up".
Rapid City is more than seven square miles. Gee I grew up there and I know better lol.
Yeah, it's not an island with 3 million people, but the resources were provided in an incredibly short tie. IT's more than 3.5 miles x 3.5 miles across, idiot.
The entire electrical system was on power polls, nothing underground. So the power companies from the surrounding states and the National Guard engineering unit that was based there did incredible work.

The Trump Administration Has Stopped Fighting The Jan. 1 Deadline For Accepting Trans Military Recruits
The Justice Department announced Friday night that it will not be asking the Supreme Court to stop the Jan. 1 deadline for allowing transgender military recruits. The department also dropped several appeals over Trump's transgender military service policy, choosing instead to keep the challenges in district courts for now.

President Trump extended a welcome had to 80 US Coast Guard Members to GOLF at his golf course and Resort as a "Thank You" for a job well done responding to the Hurricanes .
Loser: U.S. Senate
The concept of the Senate as a place where the minority party could influence policy died in 2017. It had been dying for years but McConnell's decisions to reduce the cloture threshold to 51 for Supreme Court nominees and for sweeping modifications to tax policy killed it. Republicans that are gloating now will the the day when the tables are turned on them by a Democratic presidency and Senate.
Craziest man of the year.
SCHMIDT: What are you willing to do on infrastructure? How far are you willing to go? How much money?
TRUMP: I actually think we can get as many Democrat votes as we have Republican. Republicans want to see infrastructure. Michael, we have spent, as of about a month ago, $7 trillion in the Middle East. And the Middle East is worse than it was 17 years ago….And if you want $12 to fix up a road or a highway, you can’t get it…. I believe we can do health care in a bipartisan way, because now we’ve essentially gutted and ended Obamacare.
….Wait, wait, let me just tell you. … Also, beyond the individual mandate, but also [inaudible] associations. You understand what the associations are….So now I have associations….That’s gonna be millions and millions of people….Now I’ve ended the individual mandate. And the other thing I wish you’d tell people. So when I do this, and we’ve got health care, you know, McCain did his vote. … But what we have. I had a hundred congressmen that said no and I was able to talk them into it. They’re great people.
Two things: No. 1, I have unbelievably great relationships with 97 percent of the Republican congressmen and senators. I love them and they love me. That’s No. 1. And No. 2, I know more about the big bills. … [Inaudible.] … than any president that’s ever been in office. Whether it’s health care and taxes.
….I’ll tell you something [inaudible] … Put me on the defense, I was a great student and all this stuff. Oh, he doesn’t know the details, these are sick people….But Michael, I know the details of taxes better than anybody. Better than the greatest C.P.A. I know the details of health care better than most, better than most….I believe that because of the individual mandate and the associations, the Democrats will and certainly should come to me and see if they can do a really great health care plan for the remaining people.
Loser: U.S. Allies
For 70+ years the U.S. has been the leading opponent of totalitarian states, and proponent of human rights. We stood with allies in NATO, in the Pacific (Japan, Australia, South Korea, and others) in promoting human rights, freedom, liberty, free elections and free markets as the path forward for civilization. In 2017 the U.S. largely abdicated that role, sucking up instead to regimes that deny human rights, jail opponents of the regime, etc.
Winner: Kim Jong Un
Leader of a nation long regarded as an economic backwater and international pariah, albeit a nation with nuclear capability, the new U.S. regime in 2017 elevated Kim and his nation to a global player rather than the regional concern they should be with a combination of threats and personal insults by the regime's leader.
Loser: Sexual Predators
The list of prominent men whose careers are likely over in the wake of the sexual predator revelations of 2017 is very long. To name them individually (or try to) is pointless - there have been so many that have been brought down that I would miss many by trying to create a list. Yes, there will continue to be sexual predators using their positions of (relative) power to prey on women. And yes, not all predators are men preying on women. But 2017 has dealt a serious blow to these predators.
Winner: Vladimir Putin
Putin's efforts to (at a minimum) create discord in the U.S. and distrust among its populace in its government and institutions have succeeded wildly. Whether or not it was his express intent to install Trump as the nation's leader in 2017, that elevation has dramatically escalated the discord and distrust that already existed to levels rarely seen before in this country (the dissolution of the union in 1860/1861 is the most common comparison made in analyses I have read). Putin has increased Russia's influence in the Middle East as the U.S. has backed away, and only benefits from the vocal dismissals of NATO and of its European member states by Trump as it pursues expansionist territorial policies against neighbors such as the Ukraine.
Winner: Donald J. Trump
The only thing that really matters to Trump is that he be the center of attention, and in this he succeeded tremendously in 2017. While Trump was forced to share the spotlight with Hillary Clinton through most of 2016, there was no other U.S. figure in 2017 who could divert the spotlight from Trump in 2017 for more than one news cycle. And when someone did manage to win a news cycle, Trump was certain to seize the spotlight back, either with some new outrageous tweet or open mic gaffe, or by stoking the flames of whatever event beat him out in that news cycle.
Loser: We The People
In 2017 the Senate eliminated or actively circumvented the remaining procedures that had prevented small legislative majorities, in conjunction with a friendly Executive branch, from enacting sweeping changes without consideration of the middle Keith's interests. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the results on the issues in 2017, this bodes poorly for the future. When (not if) Democrats control both the Senate and the Executive, they will have just as easy a means and justification for enacting their partisan agenda as Republican license did this year. Look for more wild swings in legislation after future elections than occurs now. Look also for more blatant and extended deadlocks between the Senate and the Executive in the future over nominations when these are in opposing parties' control (i.e. Garland's treatment will become the norm, rather than an anomaly).
We, the people, also lose from the shifting of the tax burden towards towards the middle class in the recent tax bill, both in the short term (by giving the wealthy and corporations the bulk of the immediate tax benefits) and the long term (by ending many of the middle class tax breaks after several years while making the tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy permanent).
There are many other ways we, the people, have lost this year (e.g. threats by the Executive to shut down news outlets such as NBC that don't kowtow to the Executive). These losses are real and will be realized more fully over the longer term, no matter one's personal view is of the specific issue(s) involved in 2017.

Reid, Democrats trigger ‘nuclear’ option; eliminate most filibusters on nominees
Democrats used a rare parliamentary move to change the rules so that federal judicial nominees and executive-office appointments can advance to confirmation votes by a simple majority of senators, rather than the 60-vote supermajority that has been the standard for nearly four decades.
The immediate rationale for the move was to allow the confirmation of three picks by President Obama to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — the most recent examples of what Democrats have long considered unreasonably partisan obstruction by Republicans.
No other changes in the filibuster rule was made by the Republicans.

Loser: We The People
In 2017 the Senate eliminated or actively circumvented the remaining procedures that had prevented small legislative majorities, in conjunction with a friendly Executive branch, from enacting sweeping changes without consideration of the middle Keith's interests.
This is just partisan political claptrap calling a tax cut that benefits the middle class a "burden on the middle class".
One notable omission from Indy's list of losers: Democrats
The party that, like a spoiled child, cannot accept the results of a presidential election and stuck with harebrained schemes of removing Trump via the 25th amendment or impeachment were the big losers of 2017.
And since they haven't learned their lesson, they are likely going to be a loser in 2018.
Indy, is not an Independent.
He is a liberal Dem.
President Donald J Trump is awarded the highest honor of the Liar of The Year pants on Fire in 2017.
A mountain of evidence points to a single fact: Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential election of 2016.
In both classified and public reports, U.S. intelligence agencies have said Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered actions to interfere with the election. Those actions included the cyber-theft of private data, the placement of propaganda against particular candidates, and an overall effort to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process.
See related rulings
Members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, have held open and closed door hearings to probe Russia’s actions. The congressional investigations are ongoing.
Facebook, Google and Twitter have investigated their own networks, and their executives have concluded — in some cases after initial foot-dragging — that Russia used the online platforms in attempts to influence the election.
After all this, one man keeps saying it didn’t even happen.
"This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won," said President Donald Trump in an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt in May.
On Twitter in September, Trump said, "The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?"
And during an overseas trip to Asia in November, Trump spoke of meeting with Putin: "Every time he sees me, he says, ‘I didn't do that.’ And I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it." In the same interview, Trump referred to the officials who led the intelligence agencies during the election as "political hacks."
Trump continually asserts that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election is fake news, a hoax or a made-up story, even though there is widespread, bipartisan evidence to the contrary.
When the nation’s commander-in-chief refuses to acknowledge a threat to U.S. democracy, it makes it all the more difficult to address the problem. For this reason, we name Trump’s claim that the Russia interference is a hoax as our Lie of the Year for 2017.

the Rapid City Flood, was the most detrimental flood in South Dakota history, and the second most deadly flood in U.S. history.[1][better source needed][2] It took place on June 9–10, 1972[3] in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota. 15 inches (380 mm) of rainfall over six hours sent Rapid Creek and other waterways overflowing, flooding many residential and commercial properties in Rapid City. It also caused flooding of Battle, Spring, Bear Butte, and Boxelder Creeks.[4]
Black Hills flood of 1972
Debris along Rapid Creek after the flood.
Date June 9–10, 1972
Deaths 238
During the night of June 9, Canyon Lake Dam became clogged with debris and failed, resulting in 238 deaths and 3,057 injuries. Several bodies were never found.[5] Over 1,335 homes and 5,000 automobiles were destroyed. The value of the damaged property was over US $160 million in 1972 dollars.

No

Cares creeper
Rainfall began in the Black Hills area on the afternoon of June 9 when a group of almost-stationary thunderstorms formed over the eastern Black Hills. The heavy rains that fell until about midnight partly were the result of a strong low-level easterly airflow that forced moist air upslope over the Black Hills. This strong and sustained orographic effect caused the air to rise, cool, become very unstable, and release its moisture in repeating thunderstorms. Light winds at higher atmospheric levels allowed the storms to remain nearly stationary, which resulted in extremely heavy rainfall. Precipitation totals for June 9-10 ranged from 4 inches to more than 12 inches in the Rapid Creek watershed between Pactola Dam and Rapid City (fig. 2). In the Boxelder Creek watershed, 15 inches of rain during a 6-hour period was measured at Nemo. The heaviest rainfall averaged about four times the 6-hour amounts that are to be expected once every 100 years in the area (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1972).

Quality not quantity. More legislation not more bills.
This is how it started.
WASHINGTON — During a night of heavy drinking at an upscale London bar in May 2016, George Papadopoulos, a young foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, made a startling revelation to Australia’s top diplomat in Britain: Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton.
It's still a lie.
As to quality, that is a political opinion.
As to the President. I disagree with him on most issues. That's politics. But his behavior is dangerous. He's making most of our allies are deeply concerned. A significant number of the Republicans in congress are very concerned. Balls you have analytical skills.
Read the entire interview with The New York Times in it's entirety. I was trying to just read it, but then his responses to the questions was often barely coherent. I don't think that you will be reassured in contrast to what I saw. Seriously, he is the President of the United States.
Eh. There are six U.S. floods with higher death totals than Rapid City on Wikipedia's list of deadliest floods page.
But since Roger lived through it, it had to be the worst flood in history.

As i said earlier, in spite of the goat screwer's weather reports, 2017 is going to be close to a record year for heat continuing the records of the past 4 years...
Near-record global temperature—despite no El Niño
As of late December, the global surface temperature for 2017 appeared virtually certain to end up as the second or third warmest in global extending back to 1880. Assuming this is the case, then the world’s four warmest years on record will have all taken place since 2014. What’s especially eye-opening is that 2017 was a year of mainly weak La Niña conditions. Global temperatures are typically lower during La Niña and higher during and just after El Niño, which sends heat from the tropical oceans into the atmosphere. (You can find a dramatic animation of this phenomenon at skepticalscience.com.) It now appears 2017 will be the warmest year on record without any influence from an El Niño event.
