There should really be a redistribution gas tax, another dollar per gallon on gas which then goes back split evenly to every American. Incentivizes less gas usage while avoiding the regressive nature of a sales tax. Canada has something like this.
Ruinous politically so it would never happen but it would be a good plan.
Pagers were precursors to cell phones, there's a little screen and it buzzes but the primary purpose is just to tell you to call someone.
Hezbollah is a political party / paramilitary group in Lebanon, aligned with Iran against Israel. And Lebanon shares a border with Israel so a famously fraught relationship there and it has only gotten worse since October. They use pagers because the Israeli intelligence agency is notoriously good and they would likely hack any cell phone.
Speaking of which, Israeli intelligence planted bombs in pagers sold to Hezbollah by a 3rd party over the last 2 years, and recently detonated the bombs, killing or wounding many members of Hezbollah. Also an Iranian ambassador.
What the Trump campaign thinks it's doing: keeping the conversation on immigration, making a photo op in a city at the center of the conversation.
What the Trump campaign is actually doing: keeping the conversation on Trump's lunatic false claims, spending time campaigning in a state he won by 8 points last time.
I'm a dapper Dan man!
I did this with John Mulaney's "New In Town" when it first came out. Was going to be background sounds while I cleaned and ironed. Did neither.
He voted for Trump. Not a ton of Democrats do that. Call me crazy but while I'd assume someone who ends up attempting assassination doesn't like the person they attempt assassinating, that doesn't mean they are automatically a member of the opposing political party. 1/3rd of Americans are independents.
If it becomes a democratic majority of the US who has attempted to assassinate the guy, it would be right to listen to them about who should be president. But not because of the assassination thing.
Guys, I hate to be controversial here, but maybe we can't extrapolate anything valuable about politicians based on two incidents of attempted assassination. I don't care about the opinions of these two crazy guys.
Yeah that's not even enough for me to know if it's controversial. I, also, think SCOTUS will have different opinions on separation of powers.
This sort of story is dumb. Is that really the reason you wouldn't vote for someone? There must be more compelling points. So who is this for?
I think it's just circle-jerky "the team I hate also smells icky" stuff, like when Alex Jones said Obama and Hillary literally smelled like sulfur.
Not everything has to be 18D chess. Maybe they just hate Trump.
Speaks to character, if you run as a "family values" candidate while cheating on your spouse. It's not inherently disqualifying, especially compared to self identifying as a Nazi, but it's not something that the press or the people should ignore.
"What people do in the sheets" rhetoric is for stuff like kinky sex or being gay...nobody should care if he likes getting pegged. Nobody should care if he has an open relationship. Nobody should care that he likes trans porn, which he said he does. The problem with cheating is the character concern of caring about your wants no matter who it hurts. That is a bad characteristic for a political leader.
