House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that the facts in the impeachment inquiry are "not contested" but that he has not yet personally decided where he stands in terms of supporting the impeachment of President Trump.
Schiff, who has led the probe, said on CNN's "State of the Union" that the "facts" are "not contested." He said there is overwhelming evidence based on testimony from various fact witnesses that backs allegations that Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election.
But Schiff would not go as far as to say he supports impeachment.
"I want to discuss this with my constituents and colleagues before I make a final judgment on this," Schiff said.
CNN's Jake Tapper asked Schiff how he has not yet come to a conclusion if he believes there are overwhelming facts that back his position.
Translation: If he had the smoking gun he would have pulled the trigger... but he has also gone too far and can't back out. What a fucking joke!
Speaking of fucking jokes...

Like most Canadians, you suffer from a YUGE inferiority complex.
NATO allies are spending $69 billion more on defense since 2016.
Withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord.
Secured record $700 billion in military funding; $716 billion next year.
Explain why these are successes.
That Paris thing,that is just a stepping stone to 1 world government.
I wonder who will be in charge of that one world government?
But no it was not right for the US to be the only spender.
If the liberals had their way,the folks in charge of the 1 world government would be in europe somewhere.That is where it all started anyhow.
I am tickled pink he got us out of that stupid paris thing. Coal miners need jobs,we need electricity. Look at California.What did that state have before it had liberals? Electricity.
You know what he new pickup line is for men to use to get women in California? "I have electricity!"

This comes after multiple news reports detailing friction and an internal revolt among Harris' campaign staffers.
A total loser and should have never been in the race to begin with!
Bunch of do gooder flunkys.
Newsweek initially published the article Thursday morning, before the president's trip to Afghanistan was announced publicly. The story's initial headline was, “How is Trump spending Thanksgiving? Tweeting, golfing and more.”
Kwong told the Washington Examiner that she was assigned to write a story on what Trump was doing on Thanksgiving. The next day, Kwong reached out to the editor on duty and relayed the president's latest actions, after which the story was published. When the president's trip to Afghanistan was announced, that editor then decided to assign another reporter to write a new story about it but neglected to update Kwong's original piece in a timely manner.
The story, which received backlash from both the president and Donald Trump Jr., was updated hours later with a new headline, a note at the bottom of the story, and the angle of the piece was changed to focus on the president's trip.
The new headline reads, “How is Trump spending Thanksgiving? Tweeting, golfing — and surprising U.S. troops in Afghanistan," while the note at the end of the story reads, "This story has been substantially updated and edited at 6:17 p.m. EST to reflect the president's surprise trip to Afghanistan. Additional reporting by James Crowley."
Kwong apologized on social media for the story saying it was "an honest mistake" and added that the story had been updated, and she had deleted a tweet about the original story.
“Newsweek investigated the failures that led to the publication of the inaccurate report that President Trump spent Thanksgiving tweeting and golfing rather than visiting troops in Afghanistan," a Newsweek representative previously told the Washington Examiner. "The story has been corrected, and the journalist responsible has been terminated. We will continue to review our processes and, if required, take further action.”
Newsweek did not answer additional questions about the editor's status with the outlet or if they would face any consequences over the publication of the story.
Newsweek is toilet paper.
More Fake News from left wing nut jobs
You just keep repeating over and over endlessly how Obama is in the past and why do some of us keep bringing him up. I will attempt once again to illustrate the HYPOCRISY that you just cannot seem to grasp.
PAY ATTENTION WOULD YA!!
The ABSOLUTE proof of spying on an American citizen, AND a political opponent, Donald J. Trump, started under Barry's watch! There's NO way, as the POTUS, that he did not know what was going on, on HIS watch. COLLUSION with Russia and Ukraine to UNDERMINE Donald J. Trumps campaign was initiated by the DEMOCRAPS!! That's where the REAL COLLUSION was going on. You people are SO upset that he mentioned Joe Bidens name on his call with the Ukrainian President. So, just the mere name mentioning has your feathers all ruffled up but not the fact that there was a REAL effort to undermine our current President, then candidate. THAT'S HYPOCRISY 101!!
NEXT! There IS proof that something was afoul stated by Joe Biden himself, his own words, no one else's. JOE BIDEN stating... Fire the prosecutor OR we are not giving you the aid. Reeks of quid pro quo to ANY sane person. ON VIDEO no less which I have previously linked for YOU before! The VERY thing you people are accusing Donald J. Trump of. Here's the exception! The Don, has gotten NOTHING in return for ANYTHING from the Ukrainians! YET! Joe Biden stated himself that they (the Ukrainians) DID in fact do what he asked for, thereby making his bad decision a REAL CRIME or a quid pro quo!
As you people like to preach... NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!
Not Hillary Clinton, Not Barry Obama, Not Joe Biden, Not Adam Schitt, Not Hunter Biden!
JUST because Joe Biden is running for President, does NOT give him a pass for HIS OWN STATEMENT of a BRIBE, QUID PRO QUO, or whatever you wanna label it. NOR does it give him a free pass simply because his time and Obummers time in the oval office has expired.
Now! You want them to be forgiven and forgotten, perhaps they shouldn't have started throwing stones at someone KNOWING GOTDAMNED GOOD AND WELL that THEY actually committed the VERY crimes that they are accusing President Donald J. Trump of.
THAT'S HYPOCRISY! For the umpteenth time for YOU!
Once again, we have actual proof of the previous administration's transgressions. You people have ZIP!
The Aid was released, there was no statement made by the Ukrainians, and they did in fact meet. What you got is a bunch of conjecture, opinion, guesses, simply put... A BUNCH of BULLSHIT!
Lastly, the BULLSHIT started by the Democraps is making us the laughingstock of the world. NOT the President! That only exists in YOUR mind. This whole BULLSHIT scam is dividing our country which is not good for American citizens.
You don't like the guy, fine! You don't like his beliefs, fine! You don't like his policies, fine! You don't like his ideologies, fine! You don't like his abrasive mannerisms, fine!
Then BEAT him the proper way and put someone forth capable of doing such. NOT BY A BULLSHIT IMPEACHMENT SCAM! That alone shows how cowardly the Democraps truly are. You can't beat a duly elected President so, you start scratching for every crumb you can and try to beat him with an ill conceived impeachment cause you can't beat him at the ballot box.
Frankly, it's sad and disgusting and dividing a nation who's strength comes from be UNITED!
Have you figured out HYPOCRISY yet?
You can't control a united people.United people take care of their own,thus you can't own them.
This country is the most divided I have ever saw it in my 52 years and I seriously am afraid of the fallout of the 2020 election. Not that I don't think Trump will win,that is almost a sure bet that Trump or at least a Republican will win, due to the current circus in Dc right now.It is the people unwilling to accept failure for the second time that will be a problem. Riots,fights,property loss,deathes,terriable thing will happen all because lazy,no good bums that vote democrat can't stay home and cry it out and move on
When it comes to the present moment, Trump is the one dominating the trophy case courtesy of the progressive cult based on the latest Democratic primary polling data, the impeachment hearings and the particular case of Mayor Pete (a total fucking moron from a hick town)
● A recent Marquette University poll has Trump beating Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg in the state of Wisconsin. In the case of Trump versus Biden in particular, that marks a 12-point swing from only August, when Biden was besting Trump by nine points. Furthermore, a national Emerson poll shows Trump's approval rating rising five points to 48 percent in the last month as well as presidential electoral victories against all of the above except a within-the-margin-of-error loss to Sanders.
What happened cunts? Well, the old polls where almost every carbon-based life form beat Trump had a lot to do with an understandable level of Trump exhaustion syndrome due to his grating antics and persona, along with a limited understanding of the field of Dems who would oppose him. But after multiple debates and state-by-state barnstorming, now we all know who we are dealing with. And it's as if we were transported back to 2016, when Better Than Hillary won the hearts of many.
The Democratic candidates are terrible. Fucking awful really. Again. So Trump wins.
● And guess what? The Democrats in Congress are terrible, too! After more than a week of House impeachment hearings, the viewership for this week's Democratic presidential debate was among the lowest so far in the 2020 electoral cycle. That clearly means that a lot of people, including a lot of voters who lean left, have declared "Fake News" to be the most fitting label for impeachment and its feckless propagandists.
There simply is no there there, other than the existence of countless deep state hacks who want Trump gone because he has somehow violated their elitist safe space, after none of them could be bothered to raise a finger when Biden and his son turned Ukraine into their own money-laundering shell company. Twowarm is too dumb to understand any of this!
● Lastly, there is the cunt monster that is Mayor Pete. A monster that the Democrats have been breathing life into for decades, via various sexual revolutions that have culminated most recently in a Chicago-area school board voting for mentally ill male students (or creeps pretending to be) to infiltrate girl's locker rooms.
Can somebody remind me why #MeToo was ever a thing if high school girls can be so easily preyed upon by the mentally ill and the morally deviant to thunderous applause? But I digress. The crucial point to be made here is that a podunk mayor from a less-than-idyllic city, who was destroyed in the only statewide race he ever ran in, has now claimed frontrunner presidential status in both Iowa and New Hampshire for no other reason than he is gay.
Yet that is clearly an issue with black voters, who have been Democratic loyalists par excellence but frown upon Buttigieg in South Carolina to the tune of giving him 0 percent of their support so far. Yikes. When will the blacks stop being used by the Dems? They only come around every 4 years looking for votes.
Why are so many blacks in US jails? Just look back at BILL CLINTON'S 1994 crime bill! Oh my!
The rainbows are coming home to roost in the Democratic Party, and I for one am gleefully popping some popcorn to watch the show. How the same people, who have systematically taken the black vote for granted for years while failing to deliver on countless promises concerning racial/urban improvements, will now with a straight face try to shove Will and Grace down their throats in the name of civil rights is a mind scrambler.
So what's it all mean cunts? The D will once again stand for defeated if this keeps up.
PS- fuck you saggy granny!
Then there is job creation, it is lower than was previously reported. There are about half a million fewer jobs this year. The number has just been revised downward. The rate of job creation is lower than the last of the obama administration.
And the jobs created are lower paying. A lot of americans have two or three jobs. Manufacturing jobs continue to decline. GM is closing plants. Ford is closing plants. Steel is shutting mills. This claim is just a lie.
There is no indication that clean air and water kill jobs. It is just a right wing talking point.
Tax cuts were all for rich folks. I actually paid more taxes last year than the years before.
Etc, etc, etc.
The stock market is over 26000, it raises and lowers with pressure on China because the crooks that invest with China hope that China continues to rip us off and profit from Americas loss of revenue.
Lower paying jobs are only the beginning. When Education is stripped from the socialist bullshit democrats we should see these numbers changing since americans need to be qualified in order to get better paying jobs.
The constitution is our law. This has been in effect since 1787. Thats 232 years,, meaning you've had 232 years to do homework and understand what our law is. The democrats have been trying to do a soft coup with ripping up this documents for that amount of time. Like I said,, The constitution is our law and it is used to protect americans. Those that severely oppose this constitution should either move to another place like socialist country or learn to live with it..
Obama is illegal immigrant brought forward by the deep state.. He is thought to be the osama bin laden that destroyed world trade center and I believe that. He never went to hawaii high school and was imported here from Kenya. He made life worse for blacks than ever before.. There goes the opportunity for races to bond together.. Michelle is a travsvestive and obama is gay.. Joan Rivers lost her life because she spilled the beans on them..
All the democrats do is steal money from Americans to support illegals, drug cartels with inside tracks to import drugs across the border and recruit domestic terrorism if they are challenged by the right in any way.. Gun shootings are a setup to propagandize taking your guns away..Chil d sex trafficking is their biggest revenue builder. In California at this point raping a child is not considered to be a felony...
To continue with Children in California, yes it was on Fox News but also several articles,,,, California is particularly vulnerable because of "proximity to international borders, number of ports and airports, significant immigrant population, and large economy that includes industries that attract forced labor." It serves both as an entry point for slaves imported from outside the US as well as a destination for slaves. Slavery is found throughout California, but major hubs are centered on Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco. According to the 2011 Department of State report, California, together with New York, Texas, and Oklahoma, has the largest concentrations of survivors of human trafficking. The National Human Trafficking Resource Center reported receiving 3,609 calls and emails in 2015 about human trafficking in California.
IT IS IRONIC TO NOTE THAT THE TOP STATES THAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING OCCUR ARE NY AND CALIFORNIA,, DEMOCRATIC
Beginning on Jan. 1, prostitution by minors will be legal in California. Yes, you read that right.
SB 1322 bars law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the intent to do so. So teenage girls (and boys) in California will soon be free to have sex in exchange for money without fear of arrest or prosecution.
This terribly destructive legislation was written and passed by the progressive Democrats who control California's state government with a two-thirds "supermajority." To their credit, they are sincere in their belief that decriminalizing **** prostitution is good public policy that will help victims of sex trafficking. Unfortunately, the reality is that the legalization of **** prostitution suffers from the fatal defect endemic to progressive-left policymaking: it ignores experience, common sense and most of all human nature — especially its darker side.
The unintended but predictable consequence of how the real villains — pimps and other traffickers in human misery — will respond to this new law isn't difficult to foresee. Pimping and pandering will still be against the law whether it involves running adult women or young girls. But legalizing child prostitution will only incentivize the increased exploitation of **** girls. Immunity from arrest means law enforcement can't interfere with minors engaging in prostitution — which translates into bigger and better cash flow for the pimps. Simply put, more time on the street and less time in jail means more money for pimps, and more victims for them to exploit.
As Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, a national leader on human trafficking issues, told the media, "It just opens up the door for traffickers to use these kids to commit crimes and exploit them even worse." Another prosecutor insightfully observed that if traffickers wrote legislation to protect themselves, it would read like SB 1322.
Minors involved in prostitution are clearly victims, and allowing our law enforcement officers to pick these minors up and get them away from their pimps and into custody is a dramatically better solution than making it legal for them to sell themselves for sex. That only deepens their victimization and renders law enforcement powerless to stop the cycle of abuse. SB 1322 is not simply misguided — its consequences are immoral.
Unfortunately for Californians, SB 1322 isn't an outlier — it's only the tip of the liberal iceberg. 2017 will see the Golden State subjected to wave after wave of laws taking effect that are well-intentioned but disastrous embodiments of progressive utopianism.
One such new Democratic-authored law throws open the door to even greater government dependency on the part of the poor by rolling back proven reforms. In 1996, welfare reform was one of the greatest social legislation achievements of the last century, ending the lifetime welfare system and putting millions of Americans on the road to self-reliance and self-respect. In its wake, California lawmakers passed a law barring increased payments to women who have more children while still on welfare, in order to encourage women to achieve independence before having more children.
It's a tough provision that works — which was apparently irrelevant to Gov. Jerry Brown, who just signed a bill repealing that prohibition. Henceforth, no matter how many children someone has while on welfare, the state government will ratchet up payments with each child, with no limit. Incredibly, the Democratic author of this bill claims she wants to discourage women from having more children while on welfare — but instead passed legislation replacing that effective reform with a law that restarts the cycle of welfare dependency.
In similarly inverted fashion, state Democrats have taken action to make California's youth unemployment rate — one of the nation's highest — even worse by boosting the minimum wage. It is an empirical fact that minimum-wage hikes increase unemployment among those who are the least skilled and most in need of entry-level jobs — our youth. Like other misguided liberal policies, this latest minimum-wage legislation will only lead to fewer jobs for our youth.
And the list goes on. Thanks to other new Democratic-sponsored bills, an estimated 50,000 felons will be voting in the next state election, many from their jail cells; if you go hunting with a buddy and lend him your shotgun, you'll be breaking the law; state employees will be forbidden from traveling on business to states which prohibit transgender bathrooms. The parade of inane and idiotic legislation in California is virtually unending.
The common thread running through this avalanche of liberal-left legislation is the total absence of common sense and a stubborn insistence on ignoring human nature. On a certain level, we shouldn't be surprised. After all, progressives still believe eliminating poverty is a matter of spending enough money on enough government programs. Despite spending $15 trillion on anti-poverty and welfare programs since 1965, our national poverty rate is actually slightly higher today than it was then.
California is loaded with natural resources and talented people who want to work hard, be successful and enjoy the fruits of that success. The tragedy is that California is in the grip of liberal politicians who believe we can help **** prostitutes by making it legal for them to be prostitutes; who believe we can reduce welfare dependence by increasing opportunities to become dependent; and who think we can increase employment by making it more expensive to hire people. California is ruled by a political party that places a higher priority on dictating to public schools their mascot choices than enabling parents to send their kids to the school of their choice.
Do Brown and the Democrat politicians behind this wave of bad legislation mean well? I believe they do, but unfortunately they're only succeeding in proving that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It's the bad luck of Californians that they're dragging the rest of our state down that road with them.
Travis Allen, a Republican, represents the 72nd Assembly District in the California legislature. Thinking of submitting an op-ed to the Washington Examiner? Be sure to read our guidelines on submissions.
SR1322 is simply trying to NOT prosecute KIDS...for they 'know not what they do'
You are watching TOO much BS, Srcums. I am NOT defending California as they have many stupid laws. Just like your state, no doubt. But, please get it right before you state total falsehoods driven by FOX, trumpley frumpley, that are repeated over and over...and OVER again. Until, lies become 'truths'.
BTW, money makes the World go round. Haven't you EVER heard that? Hardly a 'convenience' as it has MANY forms beyond just the paper/plastic we both carry. Just WHAT do you think drives the dying American capitalist government?...Money makes WMW go round...WMW means White Man's World. Invented after white men took the land of this country from it's previous owners, the American Indian...followed by them taking Africans to this country to work as slaves. Pretty UGLY history this country has IF one cares to really think about it...Look around this WHOLE planet and see just how America has influenced even our ENEMIES! It's the US dollar that is and has been the WORLD'S currency...soon NOT to be as China is revolting against it and more than a few countries are going with the Chinese RMB currency over the dollar.
Ever notice how China, Russia, N. Korea, etc...all wear suits with ties?! I will let you figure that out for yourself, based on what I just said, Srcums.

I am aware of a situation about 20 years ago that a 13 year old was providing sex for beer and alchol.A fellow i knew of because of work was actually dumb enough to take her up on it and lost his job over it and was up on several criminal charges.The charges were later dropped because she was found to be using 2 other men for the same thing under survalance. She was the first 1 to make a move.She was not charged but taken from the home and put somewhere to get help.
No telling what kind of person she is today,.
Or are they starving and homeless and trying to keep themselves alive because of sorry ass, dope head parents not taking care of them? In that case,they need help of course as the 1's doing against their will.
The rest is based on moral correctness.. Since I believe you are just politically correct and hate our president past the point of reasoning there really isn't much sense to debate with you here..
I've given you the history of the democrats,, Appears you haven't read that quite well.. Republicans are divided into 2 or 3 groups. You have the conservatives, for E.G. Reagan,, but after they tried to kill him he started going left with selling weapons to Iran and honoring Nazi's.... The one before him was Lincoln and they assassinated him then formed the KKK soon after for domestic terrorism. The purest conservative in our history is Trump. The 2nd of Republicans are more establishment, they pay to play with Democrats promising one thing then going left after their election. Only these use war to perform pay to play such as chil d trafficking and dru gs... They say there are moderate republicans which I do not believe exist..
Then you have the ch ild molesters you protect... So what else can I tell you?. This is only truth. You want to argue with truth then why not just take the truth up with G-d... Perhaps he can help you..

First, yes the population is higher, 100% true.
Thank goodness percentages make that point completely irrelevant! For example... 15% of the 202mil population of 1969 VS 15% of the current population of 329mil. Yes, OBVIOUSLY there would be more people in numbers, BUT that's not what is being stated. 15% is 15% PERIOD! The percentage itself makes it possible to compare periods of time with complete respect to one another. Therefore, if unemployment was at 28% in 1969 and the current unemployment rate is 6% in 2019, then you can in fact make an equal comparison as the percentages are concluded from their respective population totals.
Unemployment WAS in fact HIGHER under Obummer! Thereby making your "historically low" reference BS! I and my Wife and many of our friends were victims of the unemployment amongst other things that occurred during Obummers reign. Just coincidental, right?
Jobs are jobs, every job cannot be high paying. So, you are agreeing that there are MORE jobs under this President they just don't pay good enough for YOUR liking. Thanks for conceding!
I know of TWO steel mills that have reopened all due to the job killing regulations being lifted, under this President. Seeing the reopenings with my own eyes and knowing of people that got their skill based jobs back, tells me you're statement is more BS!
"Clean water and air" are left wing talking points, what have you been smoking?
The party of... Let's get rid of cows, the combustion engine, coal, etc. Sound familiar? The U.S. actually makes far better efforts to being environmentally friendly than most other large nations. We will NEVER be able to reduce our impact on the environment enough to compensate for tremendously larger populations pollution. i.e. China, India... And to think ANYTHING that JUST the U.S. can do will have a MAJOR impact on the rest of the Earth is ASININE at minimum.
Lastly... "Tax cuts were all for rich folks"
Oh Really! I'm far from "rich" and I got back more than I have ever. Over 7k with 2 dependents. You conveniently left off the tax cut that IMMEDIATELY gave EVERYONE more back on their weekly paychecks. OR are you one of the few that just conveniently didn't notice?
And are you really bitching about taxes? To give healthcare for everyone in the world you best be ready to pony up the dough buddy. AND that's just ONE idiotic idea that taxes would HAVE to be raised to cover. COLLEGE for ALL... Shall I go on?
The economy is better now that it was 4 years ago.
These folks that can't see things getting better must live in the gutter citys like San Fran and Chicago.
Here's where the problem lies... 98%, 99%? Of what people are being spoon fed come from the media, which is SO biased most don't realize it or even care to find out whether it's the truth or not.
For example... Adam Schiff's reading of what the phone call between Ukraine and Donald Trump was. That fucking jack-off TOTALLY said what HE wanted to say. NOT what was ACTUALLY said. Guess what all these muppets saw? Adam Schiff's version, since the 98%, 99% of media sources ONLY showed HIS reading of the transcript. Which was COMPLETE bullshit! There's the problem! You wonder why all these idiots believe what they believe, it because, that's ALL their fed. Therefore, they just eat it up and thus Trump should be impeached. The difference between what Adam Shitz said and the REAL transcript are two different things. Get what I'm trying to say here? It's simply NO wonder why these people believe what the hear because it's all they are being told. Suggest they watch a more credible news source and they will scoff at such a notion as they TRULY believe what they are being bombarded with. Everything from local nightly news, daytime and nighttime talk shows, the major news networks, almost ALL the paper news rags, EVEN primetime shows like Grey's Anatomy interject with left wing ideas. The shit is EVERYWHERE! I mean everywhere! I'm certainly not giving those gullible fools a pass, just illustrating why many believe the way they do. It's ALL they see!
I pay for healthcare. Medicare for all would cost about what I pay.
Unemployment went up when the bush trashed the economy. I lost my job in the great recession. After that the economy steadily improved.
But, as a rule, I dont argue with idiots.
They relaxed lending requirements to the point where a fast-food worker would get a mortgage for $500K. What could possibly go wrong?
I think that was even the phrase: “A home for every American,” like “affordable health care for all Americans.” As Nancy Pelosi said, “A home has always been the symbol of the American dream.” And, of course, not everybody can afford a home. Well, that’s just not right, and that’s just not gonna stand. So how are we gonna do it? Well, people who can’t afford loans, we’re gonna give them loans, and we’re gonna find other ways for people to pay that money back. But we’re gonna have people in homes, and we Democrats are gonna get the credit for every American that wants one being in a home, ’cause we care, ’cause we’re compassionate. Because we don’t like concept of winners and losers! We don’t think it’s right some people have big homes; others have small homes.

Skittles, who was president from January 20th 2001 - January 20th 2009?
NOW why did I go on that rant? Because College for ALL like the "catch farts in Jars" crowd wants,means yet again,the government will dictate what is taught in college.They already do to a point because of grant money.But once the colleges are paid for by the government,it has the right to dictate what is taught.NOT good.Not only will we be taxed to death to help pay for it but our k1ds will be even fucking DUMBER and hungery with that "masters degree" in pet theropy or soccer coaching and no job to earn money.
"To give healthcare for everyone in the world you best be ready to pony up the dough buddy. AND that's just ONE idiotic idea that taxes would HAVE to be raised to cover. COLLEGE for ALL... Shall I go on?"
I just took the discussion on over to cover my feelings on that while I was ranting.Sorry for the confusion sir.
That is 1 reason the idiots don't see the affects of the tax cuts.
And you did NOT pay more taxes you math moron. You had bigger paychecks and less of a return.
You hardly have to be an economist to understand just how wrong Ocasio-Cortez’s statement truly is. First, as Noah Smith of Bloomberg pointed out, the number of Americans working two jobs is around 5 percent of the workforce, another historic low. But, much more importantly, the candidate’s claim suggests she has no idea what unemployment actually means. “The unemployment rate,” as Robby Soave helpfully explained in Reason, “is calculated by taking the number of unemployed people and dividing it by the number of people in the labor force. The raw number of jobs being worked by Americans has no bearing on these numbers."
I bought a BMW and have to have 3 jobs to make the payments. Fucked up priorities. At best.
