A federal judge rejected Paul Manafort's request to wear a suit to his sentence hearing because the former campaign manager for Piggy is now a convicted felon who has lost the right to wear street clothing in all his court proceedings. He is no longer presumed innocent.

OUCH

According to common sense you can't give a trillion dollar tax cut to people who are not going to spend it and expect the deficit to go down.

As it goes in Ponzi schemes it's the ones at the bottom that get hurt ..It is not my doing that I'm higher on the pyramid...

Plus,,, back in 2011 it was President Obama who was the one ,,in pursuit of an agreement that would make substantial spending cuts, to social programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security,, to cut the federal deficit..he just failed to pull it off..

This administration and a new Republican Congress may be successful..

Was it one of the same republicans that said the tax cuts would pay for themselves?

I feel we should restructure SS by means testing...if you make a certain level of income each year ..you receive less SS ..and as far as Medicare ..their are too many people who are now in Medicare that should not be..re-qualify them..

SS  is not my money ..It's money we put into the pot to provide for the disabled, poor people and the indigent...once my money is in the pot it is not mine anymore ..it should go to the good of the community.. to maintain a ordered society.

If some people are fortunate enough to have a high income after they retire the get less if any ..that's what their 401k's and IRA's are for..

Who cares.  Non issue.  Jobs and the economy.  The rest is media fluff.

In 2016 75 Americans were murdered in Mexico.  Where was the media outrage?  There was none.  It didn’t help their team.  This is all about trying to cash in politically and it won’t work.  No one was b1tching about Obama to do something.  Fake outrage from the far left, nothing more.

This is all about our freedom of speech.

Was it cool when Piggy threatened to take away press credentials away from reporters who didn't agree with him? 

Millions of Americans visit Mexico every year but there weren't killed in the consulate were they? They weren't dismembered. were they?

Both sides of the isle are outraged about this & there's nothing to win politically unless Piggy fails to stand up again against one of his business partners.

I'm capping games now so stop bothering me piglet.

I don't know what's more outrageous...Hillary going to Istanbul or you following Ann Coulter's twitter feed.
