What will happen if the US goes over the fiscal cliff? - 0 views

  •  
    scary stuff
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    Really is a scary thought, and it's sad that no steps have been taken to prevent it. We've had years, but this administration has been pretty focused on its own agenda...
  •  
    This is really going to effect our generation!
  •  
    This is a very serious matter and it will affect every american in the United States.If there is going to be tax cuts on all departments will jobs be lost. If our economy goes into a recession how will our economy come back from that? No one knows if this will benefit or hurt. This is why this is so difficult too think about.
  •  
    Well its a sad that the government just blows this problem over there shoulders with no care in the world, and we the people take the bullet for it.
  •  
    It's also sad that during this current Congress they voted to repeal the ACA thirty sometimes other then work on this issue. I think that many people forget that the Obama Administration has presented a jobs plan and the House rejected it just as the Senate/President have rejected job plans brought up by the House. This is the exact reason that we're even in this mess. A lack of compromise on all sides.

  •  
    It has been said that nothing happens by accident in politics, and it is certainly no accident that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, members of the U.S. Senate and the mainstream media are all suddenly buzzing about "Russian hacking" and "Russian interference" in our elections.

The people you don't know who could be running the government on Friday - 4 views

shared by problero on 18 Jan 17 - No Cached
  •  
    It's very unlikely that all or even most of Trump's cabinet nominees will be confirmed by the Senate Friday, but tradition means that the members of President Barack Obama's current cabinet all depart at noon, leaving many posts without permanent leaders on Day One of Trump's presidency.
  •  
    I'm worried that no one will want to work with Trump in the cabinet. You don't what kind of people would want to work with him either.
  •  
    I hope that they get more people to work with Trump in the cabinet and also work with him too. We don't want people that are in to just make a mess of thing.

How to kill a Supreme Court nomination - 0 views

  •  
    Derailing a president's choice for the US Supreme Court is difficult. But it has happened eight times in the last half-century, through the kind of Senate combat that led to the 1987 defeat of Robert Bork and administration missteps like the 2005 case of Harriet Miers.

Trump accuses Ted Cruz of voter fraud: 'these politicians are really dishonest' - video - 3 views

  •  
    Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Arkansas on Wednesday night, and accuses his closest rival Ted Cruz of using voter fraud and dishonest tactics to win Monday's caucuses in Iowa after the Texas senator unexpectedly beat Trump by 3%
  •  
    He blames Ted Cruz of voter fraud because he saw this thing that might have been government related that said he told people Ben Carson was out of the race and not to vote for him anymore even though he was still in the race and Donald says that wasn't fair to Carson let alone everyone else because people would of voted differently if they knew Ben Carson was still in the race

Trump's new target: Sanders supporters - 4 views

  •  
    The GOP front-runner has ratcheted up his rhetoric against presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in recent weeks, calling her a "crooked" politician who is unqualified to be president. But when it comes to her challenger, Bernie Sanders, Trump has taken a notably softer tone, praising the Vermont senator's rhetoric and encouraging him to launch a third-party bid.
  •  
    I wonder why Trump praises Bernie Sanders? I feel that he wants people to vote for the Vermont senator just so Hillary's run to become the Democratic nominee is not a cake walk.

$182 million: Bernie Sanders equals Clinton - 3 views

shared by egessert on 22 Apr 16 - No Cached
  •  
    The Vermont senator began his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination last year with a sizable financial disadvantage compared to front-runner Hillary Clinton. By the end of last June, Sanders had raised just shy of $14 million for his campaign, less than a third of the $47.5 million Clinton had raised for hers.
  •  
    It's crazy how much he has raised. Considering most of his money just comes from average citizens like you and me, and not big corporations.
  •  
    she would have never got caught if she wasnt being stupid and tailgating. I bet if she wasnt tailgating she would have never got introuble in the first place!!!

Why Clinton isn't pushing Sanders to exit race - 0 views

  •  
    Clinton won't pressure the Vermont senator to leave. That reluctance is based on fear inside the Democratic establishment that such a move would make it more difficult to unite the party later this year.

This Is How Proud Romney Was to Be Pro-Gay Rights in 1994 - 0 views

  •  
    Mitt Romney earned huge cheers at a conservative conference in February when he bragged, "On my watch, we fought hard and prevented Massachusetts from becoming the Las Vegas of gay marriage." But in 1994, running for Senate against Ted Kennedy, he told a local gay and lesbian paper he was even more pro-gay rights than Kennedy.
  •  
    I think Mitt Romney is a hypocrite for sending out mixed messages against and pro gay rights.

    Seth Rogan testifies in a subcommittee of Senate in regards to Alzheimer's Disease. Personally, I couldn't stand the 2011 Green Hornet movie he was in, but maybe you'll find this video interesting and/or entertaining.
