He should have asked Hillary about destroying electronic data - she employed bleaching, destroying her hard drive, and a 1000 other ways of ruining the evidence.

My Gary alarm just tripped...

Explain to me what Starbucks did wrong again to get boycotted?

I didn't say anything about boycotting Starbucks. My comments were about boycotting in general. I even went so far as to say, "I'm not a boycotter".

I had no idea how long it would last. I seriously doubted it would go on for very long because MSM continuously covered the "hardships" of those who were not getting paid. People earning big salaries but could not withstand one or two missed paychecks. Pretty sad they did not plan better for contingencies like this.

You assume a lot with that post. What gives you the idea that all federal employees earn "big salaries"? A good majority of them actually don't...some are single parents...some live in really expensive areas like Washington DC area, etc. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. With no guarantee of an end in sight, they had every right to be concerned.

So, Trump gave an interview to the New York Times where he said Rosenstein told him he is not only not a target but also not a subject of the Mueller investigation.

Well, guess that settles it then.

Sally plans to go to work for the Trump Admin. If Trump shuts down the government she will live off her contingency plan -- daddy's money -- for as long as Trump decides to force her to work without pay. Then when Trump finally "pays" her -- years later -- she will be rich beyond her wildest dreams.

The Prophet Sarah Sanders: “God meant for trump to be president.”

Prophet Sarah therefore must be...The spokesperson of God. The Media are the enemy of God. It’s all so clear now.

You do realize that you are employing the same "Look, squirrel!" defense that the Trumpettes get roasted for (rightfully), right?

Trump may well be a thief. But those sums that you are quoting are miniscule. Utterly trivial.

Do you understand that Trump is the president, and the others are not?

Big salaries? You know when I was 18-22 I thought 40k a year was a lot of money.... Google is a wonderful fact checker. To be fair border patrol agents may make quite a fair amount of money after some years on the job but this includes a fair amount of overtime it seems.

Salary Expectations for Airport Security Jobs

Unlike most federal agencies that use the general schedule (GS) grading system to determine salary ranges, the TSA uses an SV grading system, a discrete salary system with pay ranges that differ from the GS system. Airport security jobs typically begin at the D pay band, which is $25,518 to $38,277. The promotion potential is the E pay band, which is $29,302 to $44,007.

More on Salary: Border Patrol Agent is a career ladder position with a grade level progression of GL-5, GL-7, GL-9, GS-11, and GS-12. You will be eligible for a promotion to the next higher grade level (without re-applying) once you successfully complete one year in each grade level, with supervisor approval. For example if you started as a BPA in December 2017 you could:

Start as a BPA in December 2017 as a GL-5 and make $52,583 per year

Be promoted in December 2018 to GL-7 and make $62,949 per year

Be promoted in December 2019 to GL-9 and make $70,784 per year

Be promoted in December 2020 to GS-11 and make $83,054 per year

Be promoted in December 2021 to GS-12 and make $97,486 per year

Thanks for telling us that you didn't say anything about boycotting Starbucks. We can all read.

The question is, and I'll type it very slow for you and others, what did Starbucks do wrong to get boycotted?

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?

Gotta love government jobs. Don't forget the added benefits of best healthcare ever and impossible to be fired!

Starbucks has a founder and major shareholder who is endangering the world by throwing the 2020 election to a Russian asset.

It is wrong to endanger the world.

About a thousand pages ago I said that Cory Booker would be the next elected president.

Of course I can't find that post on this huge thread.

He has now announced his intent to run.

He will be one of the more moderate candidates in the bunch.

And there is a big desire among Democrats to have the candidate be a woman.

So he has those two things against him to win the nomination.

I used to think that being a moderate in the general election was an advantage because you keep the base and earn more centrists.

But now I don't know. He will be labeled far left regardless. But those that are actually far left won't see him as that way and won't be as motivated.

A lot of Democrats don't want Trump impeached because they want to run against him. Trump on the ticket will motivate all kinds of people to vote against him regardless of the politics of his opposition.

If Trump is not on the ticket for some reason, and Booker is the Dem nominee, there may be lower left and femael turnout.

I like Kamala Harris. Piss off as many right wingers as possible. If we're going to be divided anyway, lets go with her.

If we want someone who will at least try to work across the aisle, Cory Booker would be the right president for now.

I'd hate to sound ageist but I'm not interest in the older people running at this time (Biden, Warren etc)

And Beto isn't ready for the top job. Good VP choice, though.

I met Cory about 10 years ago when I lived in NYC and he was the mayor of Newark. Great guy.

But, he has no chance in this election. I really like him and will vote for him if he is the Dem candidate but he did not come across well on TV during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
