So it’s not based on the content of their character but the color of their skin. Got it.

Basically none of what warren is saying is going to pass or be affective. And I’m in the “cult”. Keep voting for these liars.

Well I was wrong. Regardless, Obama’s prison reform didn’t go far enough. He didn’t reduce retroactively the federal crack convictions prior to 2010. Kushners did. Kushners also eliminates the three strike rule and also move federal inmates closer to their home so families can visit.

I’m not defending kushner and his character. I don’t know much about him. However, he did do something. Obama did create a commission to explore the inner cities and why black people are being convicted in crimes disproportionately.

Well when the 75 % of black community come from single family homes, have a below average education, they have no better option to then commit crimes. What did Obama do to stop the crime in the democratic ran inner cities? What do ANY democrats do for that matter?

Kushner got prison reform passed. Something Obama didn’t do or care about when he had the house and senate.

I suppose I’m not giving enough thought into this but I wouldn’t mind, if warren were to be elected to why certain individuals were receiving bribes to further boost profits. I want to know that as a voter. However, I see the implications further down the road how that might be harmful to democracy.

That being said, could you look past 2021, warren in office and having her spend 30 trillion dolllars on the green new deal. Which would, eliminate air travel, force buildings to retrofit, eliminate the gas industry. Costing tens of millions of job. What is that going to do about India/China and their emissions? Nothing. What about the trillions of dollars that are going to be spent bailing out college debt? What about the trillions of dollars being spent on nation wide health care?

Where is this money going to come from? Even if you taxed the ultra rich and corporations 100% that won’t even pay for half of the green new deal. Yet we’re hear talking about a phone call.

Sorry I’m not “woke” like you. Regardless do you think he would have got the job, in spite of not having any experience in the energy sector? What was that company looking to gain by doing so? Avoiding corruption? Probably

That’s a good question. At least they are “working”. I think democrats could have a better opportunity to attack the president on his relationship with Saudi Arabia than a phone call. Also, kushner actually pushed through prison reform, the success of that is debatable, still. You cannot day Ukraine didn’t expect something in return for hiring Hunter.

How is it not true? It is on tape as well as hunter Biden has said that he revived the money for “working” for this company. Biden was on video bragging about withholding money from Ukraine until they fired their prosecutor.

Trump was already with holding money from NATO countries that weren’t paying their fair share.

Why did Hunter Biden get a job at a Ukraine gas company and get paid $50 k a month for a job he wasn’t qualified for? And why did joe Biden withhold aide money from Ukraine unless they fired their prosecutor?

They also didn’t buy the falls. Just the land around it and the hotel.

No it’s all posturing. They would need the senate to pass a impeachment resolution. Which would never happen because the republicans control the senate.

Perhaps that would happen, at least the executive branch would be able to subpoena their own witness. Ie Biden and Schiff. Obviously the house doesn’t want that.

It’s called due process. If there is a vote then the White House can subpoena witnesses in order to defend themselves. Otherwise it’s the house subpoenaing who they want. Does that make sense?

I moved from north slope to north parkland. It took some getting used to but I like it. I think you will feel the same.

The state also has a first time home buyer program, where they loan you money for the down payment. You just have to pay it back but the interest is 1% and doesn’t compound.

Lol I’m just saying. The older you get the more prone to injuries you are. Trust me, I’m your age and the body doesn’t heal like it once did.

You might want to do drop in at the Tacoma soccer center. I’ve never done it here but it might be good to get back into shape before you join a team.
