[Does anyone have an idea about what the FBI is still doing in its investigation of Hillary. With the IG's finding it would appear that there's now an overwhelming amount evidence to indict her for multiple crimes. The investigation itself could continue. But shouldn't Director Comey take what he has to DoJ and get them started on the next step in the process? Liz Warren needs time to prepare, and so does ol' Joe. gjr]

I’ll take a stab at George’s concern over the lack of progress regarding the investigation into the further criminal deeds of our next president.
There is an ‘ongoing investigation’.
Since the matter is still under investigation, there will be little or no information as to what is actually going on.
She will be elected as president.
Before leaving office, Obama will pardon her.
“In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power “extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.” (In that case, a former Confederate senator successfully petitioned the court to uphold a pardon that prevented him from being disbarred.) Generally speaking, once an act has been committed, the president can issue a pardon at any time—regardless of whether charges have even been filed.”
Of course, she had better be nice to Obama in the meantime.LikeLike

Todd, where in the Constitution is the enumerated power to tax the hell out of things the Congress doesn’t like that individuals do in the comfort of their own home?

Gregory, remember ObamaCare SCOTUS? Roberts found that Congress has the right to tax. I can’t recall the part. But it unfortunately seems to have the power.
My point on the taxes was taught to the country by the left. If you want people to use something less, tax the hell out of it. Smoot Hawley and other tariffs were the best example I can remember.LikeLike

You cannot “recall the part” because it doesn’t exist. It is Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution that grants Congress the power to tax.The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.
What the Supreme Court (Not only Roberts.) decided was that The Affordable Care Act is constitutionally valid because it is a tax.
Taxes can be used to control consumption but, if excessive, often lead to illegal production, distribution, and/or sales of the product that was to be controlled. This has been demonstrated, for example, by states excessively tax tobacco leading to criminals purchasing tobacco in neighboring states and selling it at a profit.
Tariffs are used to restrict trade with other countries rather than to control consumption.
You’re batting 0.000 here, Todd, but that’s no surprise.
Note to spelling Nazi wannabes: “Defence” is the British spelling and was used in the original, hand-written Constitution.LikeLike

Mr. Kesti….the writers of the hand written Constitution should have used my old 2 foot tall dictionary. It has lots of pictures. :). Maps and names of countries are way off, though.
To anyone:
When will DOJ indite Mrs. Clinton?? New twist, and it is a political one, albeit one with merit. If Hillary (who is throwing the whole Dem machine into Iowa this last week…the whole Dem machine with Planned Parenthood setting up phone banks and Dem Party stars and Music Stars and Movie Stars pouring into Iowa as planned)….if she wins Iowa and starts winning Super Tuesday states in March….well the argument goes that the Justice Department would be taking an election away from the voters. Interesting.
Now, can she make it through March without being charged?? Looks that way. State has asked for a 30 days delay on releasing the last batch due January 29 by court order. Seems a 2-3 day delay caused by snow equates to a 30 day delay, lol.
Always deny, stonewall, then call it yesterday’s news.LikeLike

Hey, an Islamic, a commie, a progressive, and a socialist walk into a sauna and laugh and become good friends. Must be a male bonding thing.
Like the line about “trying to force penatration”. Over here in the USA, we call that “attempted rape”.
Plus, remember that little New Year’s celebration of a 1,000 asylum seekers doing a little pick pocketing and the unwanted touch thang with coarse language that was properly buried for a week by the multicultural crowd?? Well, come to find out that silly groping is called “gang rape” on this side of the Pond and that harmless pick pocketing is called “strong armed robbery” of cash, purses, and personal contents. Must be a language barrier thing. I know we have flash mobs hitting the 7-11s in Chicago, but over here our women folk join in on the smash and grab thang. We are more enlightened I suppose.
Oh, Europe should fly them back to their native lands and drop them off (at 10,000 feet). Or maybe just castriate the MoFros. Donate a pile of their gonads to science.
You won’t believe this. Now the Islamic spiritual and cultural leaders are blaming Germany!!! Germany needs to ban alcohol because candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. Devil in the bottle made them do it. No, Islamics and Multicultural Gurus, the answer is not to ban alcohol in your host countries. The solution is to ban Islamics. Don’t see Ahab the Arab Christian doing the smash, grab, and penetrate thang, now do you??

ssein Nayeri, 37, had been held without bond since September 2014 on charges of kidnapping, torture, aggravated mayhem and burglary. Nayeri and three other men are accused of kidnapping a California marijuana dispensary owner in 2012. They drove the dispensary owner to a desert spot where they believed he had hidden money and then cut off his penis, authorities said.
After the crime, Nayeri fled the U.S. to his native Iran, where he remained for several months. He was arrested in Prague in November 2014 while changing flights from Iran to Spain to visit family.

And you thought aliens cannot be stopped.This was sent to me today.
Trump was right…about the law…
Here is number eight US Code 1182, inadmissible aliens. This law was written in 1952. It was passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress, House and Senate, and signed by a Democrat president.
“Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president. Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
All of the pundits that are claiming that what Trump said is dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous, and/or unconstitutional, need to educate themselves. It is already the law of the land. And it was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States, 1979.LikeLike

Here is your “Rant” on this post:
“Education and teach respect for your body should be taught. Then tax the holy hell out of it. The government does that to discourage use. So if I catch you with a ounce, maybe a $1,000 fine. A pound? $10,000 fine. And on up. Caught selling to minors, death by firing squad.”
Sure, education to teach respect for your body is a good idea. Then you go into the tax and shoot rant which is applauding big government and immoral (death by firing squad)
did I miss anything?
By the way, I’m glad to see you support legalization even with your stipulations.LikeLike

Yo Walt, Russ, and Mr. Fish. This writer speaks my language. I need not say more….except I am sooo far beyond “conservatives values” right now that I don’t care if Trump is pro-life or pro-choice, what he did in college or even care that he does not even have any political machine on the ground in any state. Waste of money anyway. I don’t care if he just hops in his jet and goes to one appearance to another. I don’t care about his ex-wives or his daddy pissed off Woody Gutherie.
The only thing I care about are some things on the list provide below. I am not voting Republican or Democrat or Independent. I am voting for a movement and Trump is just a handy wrench in the toolbox. The right tool for the right job, nothing more, nothing less.

Well, you gotta pay taxes on whatever income you derive from whatever you do, legal or not. Even barter, which includes swapping a couple of bucket of rusty bolts old farm machinery with some hunks of metal from old Mac Donad’s farm down the lane.

Who ever it is they are demented and belong in an asylum with bars so they can’t hurt themselves or small children.
