It's true, it would be hilariously sad.
Dems try to play by the rules while the GOP makes them.

Groping women in today's age of condoning cocksuckery as a lifestyle seems a little benign. But who cares, I don't. Btw, groping is as close as the nearest major airport, and you have to pay to get in line.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

So, with the news that the corporate statutory tax rate is about to drop Ford and GE do two particularly peculiar things:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/ford-to-mo ... 1512605158
Ford is moving its production of electric vehicles to Mexico ("Saving" the plant in Michigan for driverless vehicles of the future) and
http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/201 ... pdate.html
GE is cutting 12,000 jobs after "misjudged demand" in the coal/gas energy markets (they didn't think renewables would take off). Half of the layoffs are in the EU but "hundreds" more in the US.
Tax break anticipation is already working.

it's not saving the plant, it's converting the plant to do that. i don't see the issue?
as for coal and gas... i mean, trump tried. he pulled us out of paris; what more can the man do. the halcyon of fossil fuels has passed, and we are moving into renewables and into other clean power (namely, fusion; we are 50% to operational plasma event with the ITER project; it should be operational in 7 years). i don't think this is related to tax breaks, this is just market realities

This is weird...why would a judge recuse himself at this point? Is it just because he's an Obama appointee? And if so...what could this say about what was revealed during that trial? Or did Flynn's lawyers attack his impartiality based on that fact?
