Of course, the slush fund is a fraction of what the hospitals will lose from the cuts. Hospitals will close.

Republicans are members of groups that are more likely to have the kinds of ID that would be required to vote. The difficulties in proving citizenship for many are features, not bugs.

they keep telling people he was a gang member. Not only a gang member, but a leader of a gang who trafficked in humans. How many powerful gang leaders hold down jobs as sheet metal apprentices? This is breaking my heart. He doens't belong in any prison, much less that one. He isn't the only one.

Even if you do need a supplement, don't take too much. I take iron 3x/week because I donate blood and don't eat iron rich foods and tend to be a tad anemic but taking it daily can mess with your system. Do. Your. Homework. If you don't know how to analyze a research paper, find someone who does.

If you take any supplements, do research into how much is too much. Don't depend on just the FDA. They tend to be conservative. I take a lot of Vitamin D to fight off winter depression because *research* shows it's safe and effective. Read the research carefully and choose reliable sources.

The Constitution clearly gives states the authority over how elections are run. I'm not sure if trump is ignorant of that or simply doesn't care. Likely both. But the courts are aware of what the Constitution says.

I think "It's happening here" should be the new slogan of the anti-trump movement. The fascism is no longer hypothetical. The racism is no longer subtle. The threats to Democracy are no longer "possible". It's happening. Here. Right. Now.

Is ICE actively trying to kill tourism? They couldn't be doing a better job if they were.

Partners don't do most of the work at law firms. They just share most of the profits. The question is: How many associates and clients are talking quietly to each other about their options.

I'm not sure. One of his ex-wives said he had a copy of mein kampf on his dresser. of course, he may have just kept it there for inspiration. Kind of like a kid who sleeps with the math book under their pillow, hoping that they can learn through osmosis.

which is why I canceled my subscription to the NYT and don't even read their "gift" articles. I don't trust them to tell the whole story. Their version of "access journalism" and desire to not be "biased" against anybody keeps them from reporting things fairly and accurately.

Do you think Joe Biden would do this? No. I don't think Joe Biden would use one of the original copies of a historic document as a prop. I wish they had given him a copy of the constitution. Maybe it it were in his office, he'd read it.

Mexico is in the middle of a civil/drug war. Take your tourism money and visit Canada.

This man is not a "leader" any more than trump is. He is driven by his ego, thinking he has all of the answers and he won't get anybody tell him otherwise. Leaders surround themselves with wise people to help them lead.

I didn't make that claim. All I said was that we shouldn't assume that any coup would be friendly to us.

I'm afraid you are mistaken. A LOT of soldiers are magats. Think about it - poor, red states, trumps base. Not all, but many and possibly most. And he's packing the top levels with his supporters. I agree about the coup, though.

100. Percent. Wrong.
