I'm sure after this attack shitbag will come out all take tough guy with his radical islamic bullshit...something he was too big a pussy to do yesterday. But he can't tweet til he muster up some energy energy after his massively grueling trip!!

[WingsFan]

Yeah, anybody hitting an Ariana Grande show is specifically targeting young girls (like my daughter, who attended one of her shows a few weeks ago) and is a seriously twisted asshole who is especially worthy of slow-roasting in hellfire.

I had no idea who Grande was, this is horribly F'K UP.

never heard of alex jones and never been on breitbarts website
I just always wondered why wikileaks posted a 25K reward for rich's killer (s)
police say robbery but he had most of his personal possessoions
rich was in contact with wikileaks

once again the coverup will do in the administration even though there was nothing there to begin with. trump being a novice at most everything political in DC is being eaten alive --death by a thousand pricks. his only obstruction defense is intent. I really don't think he though he did anything wrong in regards to Russia and wants the intelligence agencies to lay off. mostly because he cant get anything done when all of DC Is on his bacxk about "collusion" he knows theres no collusion but cant let the investigation go from multiple agencies and mouths off again just like he always does.
too bad --tax reform and deregulation and entitlement reform were all possibilities. wrong person at the right time --even if he does survive he cant get his agenda through I don't think

isis claimed responsibility as the always do in stuff like this
problem with choosing Saudi vs iran in stuff like this is you alre always wrong whichever way you go
iran has been sponsoring terrorist group agenda

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/02/politics/state-department-report-terrorism/

so what are you supposed to do?
saudi is irans number one deterrant
all the anti Saudi sentiment --your other choice enable the iran and isis
lose lose situation I agree but I think trump is going in the right direction in the middle east compared to his predecessor

The answer to what kind of pricks would bomb an Ariana Grande concert is, of course, ISIS.

This event led to a cheery discussion of terrorism with my daughter last night, who was concerned with whether Ms Grande had been hurt, and how many girls like herself and her cousin (Who she attended the Grande concert in KC with) had been killed. This is the world in which we live, so my wife and I decided it was time to have an open discussion with her about it.

So maybe ISIS got a little smidgen of what they after from me. If so, I hope they choke on it.

Sucks about Roger Moore, but of interest to previous discussions, I noted the press release:

"Roger Moore the beloved actor best known for playing James Bond in the ?70s and ?80s, died in Switzerland on Tuesday. He was 89.

The star?s children broke the news in a statement uploaded to Twitter, noting that Moore passed away after a ?short but brave battle with cancer.?

...mentioned that he died in Switzerland. I'm betting that he passed away on his own terms, at the end of needle. And if so, good for him.

No, what the article says is that 37 out of 37 economists agree that the Trump Tax cuts will not pay for themselves. That is not news.

The real question is whether tax and spending cuts can achieve 3% growth. One wonders whether the Dems would even take a 50% increase in growth (from 2 to 3%) if Trump is given any credit for it. Kennedy, Reagan, and Clinton didn't face an opposition whose overriding purpose was to destroy the President.

[CGVT]

Yeah. No one would never try to undermine a President...

I'm cynical by nature. I've assumed the 2 who "read it wrong" wanted to conform.

Probably wrong, but that was my first thought.

There is no evidence that Rich sent any emails to Wikileaks. His family and the police deny it. The only guy that said it, said he got the info from
Fox News. Why did Wikileaks offer money? Probably to help solidify the impression that they had a link to him. Misinformation is what they do.

Wrt your claims about Iran and isis. As far as I know there is no connection between Isis and Iran and in many ways would be conflicting ideologies. I couldn't tell if you were trying to link them together.

[crashcourse]

isis is the top terrorist group
iran top terrorist state sponsor
they likely do have conflicting idealogy however my point was the pick between supporting Saudi and supporting iran by not supporting Saudi
isis was fresh on my mind after last nights horrors

as far as rich goes if I was his family and they only had a theory from the police with no suspect and no evidence of a guy shot in the back twice with assagne offering 25K seems suspicious enough to me

[SeattleLionsFan]

Even fox retracted the Rich story today. Do you care that there isn't evidence to support your belief?

Me too.

I also figured the five who didn't answer the question were confused. It surely would have been a better story if they had just said what the question was.

The cut can "pay for itself" over a longer term, like the ten-year horizon that these projections seem to uniformly use. Neither the $ 1.74 Trillion surplus that the budget director predicts nor what the OMB predicts tomorrow (undoubtedly a massive deficit) will be even close to accurate. Never is. On either side. Good to be cynical.

If you are going to argue that he was in fact in contact with Wikileaks despite the family, the DC police, and the FBI all saying he wasn't then PLEASE present evidence that is in your possession to say otherwise.

As Seattle said, FOXNEWS has removed this story from its website, stating that it doesn't meet its journalistic standards. IOW, it's CRAP being pushed by Trump's most blindly partisan defenders like Hannity and Gingrich. Facts be damned.
