Mueller is everywhere, except the US midterms
Campaign ads and debates are mostly avoiding the Russia investigation in favor of other issues important to voters.

By DARREN SAMUELSOHN 10/15/18, 12:31 PM CET Updated 10/15/18, 12:33 PM CET
Special counsel Robert Mueller can’t escape the headlines, or President Donald Trump’s obsessive Twitter feed. But there’s one place the lead Russia investigator has been noticeably absent: the 2018 campaign trail.

Mueller and his inquiry are missing from the campaign advertising airwaves during the final sprint to November. Debates have all but ignored the story, focusing instead on kitchen-table topics like the economy, health care and taxes. Vulnerable Democrats in red states are actually emphasizing the times they’ve reached across the aisle.

That really is the essence of it, isn’t it? He, and most of his base value money above everything. If you value money he is the last guy you should call the pied piper as you follow him into the deep dark woods. he is not some savvy businessman. Tons of failed businesses, and ventures. Most banks wont even touch him. He cheats, lies, and avoids paying taxes to keep his wheels turning. Now our country is literally his own personal llc, and he lies and cheats and has everyone believing things are booming. It is absurd. He is doing nothing short of bankrupting our country.

He is doing everything in his power for a quick spike, and record this and that, and all the praise that comes with it, but it will not last, and when it is over we will be worse off. Very similar to his previous business ventures. Struts around looking like a beautiful peacock until the the feathers he stuck on the pigeons ass fall off and than he is gone. maybe “we the people “ can sue him like all the other people have before once his latest and greatest con job is over.

What does that even mean?

You don't care if Warren (who is white) claims to have a Native American heritage because white people are entirely responsible for people making such claims.

Shouldn't you, by that logic, be extremely ticked off, that a prominent white politician used that claim to knowingly and falsely take advantage of that identification for self advancement?

This topic really should be in the hypocrisy thread.

Re: Winning
 

You are right this should be in the hypocrisy thread. What I mean is that we are so hell bent on forcing identification of race and ethnicity that we should not be surprised when people use it as such. I cannot justify being ticked off when we are the ones that continue to support and reelect said politicians. Until we stop we are going to reap what we sow. Personally I am more upset that the dubious genetic test is being used as evidence, our scientific understanding is atrocious and an embarrassment.

According to RCP polling averages if the election were counted today, the Republicans actually gain 2 senate seats
[url]https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/senate/2018_elections_senate_map_no_toss_ups.html[/url]

The house is going to be a quagmire of nothingness. Many on here won't believe this, but I'm kind of hoping the house goes democratic. And my rationale is history. I think Reagan made alot of good compromises when he had to deal with Tip O'Neal. I didn't necessarily like all of them, but the split government works better for Republicans if they have the Senate and Presidency. I would even say when Clinton lost the House, it made his presidency better too. With the whole house up every 2 years, I think it makes negotiations more accomplishable then in the senate where only 1/3 changes at a time.

Maybe a Democratic house and Republican senate could work together with Trump, and actually make headway on healthcare, immigration, and the country's debt issue.

The country has to find a way to move forward in some unity. Doesn't it?

No, it's the reverse, a growing economy helps raise all the boats. It worked with Reagan's tax cuts, and it's working now.

We've had several quarters of positive GDP growth, lower unemployment, and those pressures, not government interference are what lead to wage growth.

There's more than enough faux outrage from the left. Recall that Harry Reid(I know it's a talking point name) once proposed ending birthright citizenship.

I won't say I know much on the topic, but I do know that Trump loves to push liberals to hypocritical positions, especially on immigration. It's why dems are pretty silent over the issue, because they all supported most of the positions - until Trump was the one suggesting it.

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthright_citizenship_in_the_United_States#Opposition_to_birthright_citizenship[/url]
[quote]Both Democrats and Republicans have introduced legislation aimed at narrowing the application of the Citizenship Clause. In 1993, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) introduced legislation that would limit birthright citizenship to the children of U.S. citizens and legally resident aliens, and similar bills have been introduced by other legislators in every Congress since.[79] For example, U.S. Representative Nathan Deal, a Republican from the State of Georgia, introduced the "Citizenship Reform Act of 2005" (H.R. 698) in the 109th Congress,[80] the "Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007" (H.R. 1940)[81] in the 110th Congress, and the "Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009" (H.R. 1868)[82] in the 111th Congress. However, neither these nor any similar bill has ever been passed by Congress.

Some legislators, unsure whether such Acts of Congress would survive court challenges, have proposed that the Citizenship Clause be changed through a constitutional amendment.[83] Senate Joint Resolution 6, introduced on January 16, 2009 in the 111th Congress, proposes such an amendment;[84] however, neither this, nor any other proposed amendment, has yet been approved by Congress for ratification by the states.[/quote]

Please don't try to sell us on trickle down BS. A tax cut on it's own doesn't help everyone.

Just like wages alone don't raise an economy, but low wages have been a problem for a long time. When giant corporations pay garbage wages that force people to stay on assistance programs it's a lose/lose for everyone. Nothing wrong with pressuring companies to pay their employees a livable wage.

Re: Winning
 

A tax cut, reduced regulations, a business friendly environment all encourage businesses to make capital investments as well as increases competition for quality employees, which raises wages. We had eight years of stagnant growth, and no wage increase, we have 1 1/2 years of fiscal conservative approach and we see wage growth. You can call it BS all you want but the wage increases, and rising gdp say otherwise. (Tariffs help wages too because US employers don't compete against outside labor practices but don't tell that to the press)

I would prefer that people acknowledge what the reality on the ground is. That is that most Americans, conservative or liberal, are NOT racist. That not every misspoke word is meant to slander or demean. That political correctness is not free speech but controlled speech. And that this country is great BECAUSE of every citizens unique makeup combined with our National heritage. The being American IS worth a damn, and that we are Americans first, and our cultural heritage second. That when the song says and I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free, they are talking about every person, white black, rich poor.

There are a percentage of Americans who are racist, a smaller percentage that are hate filled racists, they make themselves known, and should be dealt with by law enforcement when they act out, but we as Americans should recognize that they ARE the small percentage of population - the bad eggs so to say.
