[Begrudgingly many are now acknowledging that Trump had a good trip to the Far East. More people now understand that America has its own interests topmost, and considers it a good thing if everyone recognizes and admits that they too have their countries' interest come first. It cuts out a lot of the bullshit when people meet to make deals on stuff like trade and national security. Maybe the new paradigm will be named the Trumpian Schools of Diplomacy. gjr]

I guess my “old” truck is an acceptation to the rule.
I drive a 2002 Chevy 4×4. It’s been pretty much problem free.
(water pumps on most chevys are done at 150 thou. that was no real surprise)
Still looks great despite two seasons driving on logging roads
and hard work. Nope no garage queen either.
The engine is still fine shape as well, and gets better millage than the 05 Grand Cherokee,(in the shop for a blown head gasket.)

Good GOD almighty! Hillary is really getting pitiful these days.

Russians? It was fine when she was colluding with them.
“Clinton also blamed voter ID laws and “obstacles” to voter registration for her losses in states like Wisconsin, a place she failed to campaign in.”

No wonder Senate Minority Leader Chuckie The Clown immediately called for an Senate Ethics Committee investigation of Franken. Makes perfect sense. They used to say (when (Willy Mays played),”centerfield is where fly balls go to die.” Senate Ethics Investigations is where ethics violations go to die. For the past ten years, the Ethics Committee has not issued one single sanction against any senator they have investigated.
“Take, for example, the salacious allegations against former Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who was publicly linked to the leader of a prostitution ring. The ethics committee dismissed a complaint against Vitter in 2008, in part because it happened before he was elected.”

Paul, from the link provided to substantiate your indigence over private jet owners getting a tax break:
First, all the jobs mentioned above are middle to lower middle class jobs. No one gets rich being a lineboy (refueling aircraft)… and what it looks to be doing is equalizing shared ownership companies like NetJets with the taxes paid by traditional corporate ownership by really big companies: they don’t pay taxes on internal spending. It’s overhead expenses of keeping the asset usable and airworthy, not a value added. And most all the money goes into blue and pink collar paychecks, including the pilots.
I get it though… private jets are such an extravagance when there’s the Grayhound bus terminal and Amtrak stations across the country.
I did cross a NetJets pilot picket line once in good conscience: it was at Las Vegas Henderson Airport (a National Business Aviation Ass’n convention was in Vegas and Henderson is the bizjet airport) where my single engine piston aircraft was tied down less than half the time… I got a laugh out of my fellow pilots by saying I was so poor I had to fly my own plane by myself. None of them were rich either.
