Never was an issue easier to look at the pros and cons and make a decision as to whether it makes any sense. Trump makes these edicts that maybe one entity like oil companies benefits from because they sell more gasoline, and doesn't even try to come up with any arguments that support benefits. When I heard the lamest excuse ever being rolled out it was funny except the guy is serious. Trump actually said that he was doing people a favor by decreasing fuel economy because the higher cost would mean people travel less.

Meanwhile the auto industry came to the conclusion early on that this was a disaster, it would have an array of negative impacts on the auto industry, including inferior parts, lose over 200,000 industry jobs, increase pollution, decrease fuel efficiency, and create chaos in the country with states adopting different mileage standards, thereby interfering in commerce between states.

California has the ability by law to set it's own standards, and the reality is that it was going it's own way and using the highest standards in the country as a very successful means to fight pollution in congested areas. The auto industry saw the wisdom and benefits of complying with their standards, and they were adopted for all of the states.

California just drop kicked and body slammed Trump by not only refusing to comply, but forming an agreement with several other auto makers to adhere to the Obama level standards in a unified way. Mercedes announced that they would be agreeing. Trump is digging in and trying to force compliance, which I don't even understand what that means...what, he is trying to force them to make crappier emissions standards?

Here's a KOS piece that actually covers the bases in a relatively non derogatory manner

This weekend's mass shootings weren't the only ones in recent history.... Dec 14,2012 Sandy Hook massacre that k**led 26 people,including 20 children ages from 6 to 7...Congress was supposed to do something about gun control,end up doing nothing!!!!....Will it happen this time???...Or doing something about mental illness???..We DO need stricter gun laws,but we also need to do something about mental illness...Will Congress and the Senate come back from their summer vacation and propose the law that addresses these 2 problems together???....I would like to think so,but i wont hold my breath!!!..Especially from Congress that really truly h**es this President,more then they love this country.....And that is very unfortunate!!!!

But how about 50/50 races where half the state v**es for the other candidate, how do you feel about people's v**e meaning nothing? How about the one person one v**e concept that is the foundation of a democracy?

Since it is a state prerogative the states that choose to honor the v**es of their populations are the ones that get it right. Especially since three red states with questionable e******n systems and policies and no willingness to recount even if they could called the e******n. Let the e*******l reflect the people's v**e.

This is about a man named Harold, and a president named Barack.

This pretty much summarizes how Obama/Biden and most liberals view the US
military. You should understand what the left represent after reading this.

Harold was a bright child. He grew up in America. He went to school and had a bright future ahead of him. Harold was full of life but was cut short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of
Harold before his death, many did afterward And in death, something very shocking happened. What was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the death of someone else recently in the news?

Harold was Harold Greene, Major General, United States Army. On Aug. 5, 2014, Major General Greene was k**led by a Taliban terrorist.

He was returned to America with full military honors.

It has been a tradition that the president attends the funeral of general and f**g officers k**led in the line of duty.

Richard Nixon attended the funeral of a major general k**led in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was k**led in the 9/11 attacks.

While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The vice president wasn't there either. Neither was the secretary of defense.

F**gs were not even lowered half-mast. Do you think this is right?

Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was k**led in Ferguson, Missouri.
Brown was at best a young thug. In the minutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other reports, Brown struck Officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone. Obama sent a three-person delegation to Brown's funeral!

Neither Obama nor Biden would attend the funeral of the highest-ranking military officer k**led in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent a delegation to the funeral of a thug. sic

When Margaret Thatcher, one of America's staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet c*******m died, Obama sent only a small low-level delegation to her funeral. The snub was not missed by the British.

When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history was murdered, there was no expression of sympathy from the White House.

But when Whitney Houston died from a drug overdose, Obama/Biden the administration ordered all f**gs be flown at half-mast.

There was no White House delegation at the funeral of an American hero.
American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.

A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.

No wonder most "REAL" Americans hold Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military.

And Biden is now expounding on how great was the Obama/Biden administration.

I truly hope America is paying attention to what is going on!

Granted Baltimore has some serious problems (that Jared Kushner personally could alleviate by not being a slumlord). Yet not any more, and maybe less, than the following list shows of fifteen out of sixteen Red states:
-The least educated states are, from 46th to 50th: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, West Virginia and Mississippi.

-Highest poverty rates (46th to 50th): Kentucky, West Virginia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi.

-Most dangerous (46th to 50th): Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico.

-Highest share of people on food stamps in 2017 (46th to 50th): Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virginia, New Mexico. (Does the GOP actually favor socialism?)

Most dependent on federal aid — i.e., “socialism” (46th to 50th): Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi. (Again, Does the GOP actually favor socialism?)

Most polluted (46th to 50th): Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana.

Most people lacking health insurance (46th to 50th): Florida, Georgia, Alaska, Oklahoma, Texas.

If Trump were honest, he would mention the extremely sad and same condition of these states for decades now. But they are controlled by Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has been in the Senate since 1984 — what’s he done? Besides watering down and flat-out blocking efforts to safeguard our e*******l process, I mean. Turning a blind eye to Russian attacks on our democracy — which has kept him busy since the Obama era — is nothing less than dereliction of duty, and although he bristles at his new nickname, “Moscow Mitch,” I say if the boot fits, comrade, wear it.

You get the idea. When Trump, who wants those critical of America to leave, criticized it himself in his dark, creepy “American carnage” inaugural address (no inspirational “shining city on a hill” or “malice towards none” for him), he could have been talking about these ravaged, failing, mostly red states just as much as Baltimore’s 7th congressional district. But he’ll never do that, of course.

The Mueller investigation DID NOT find any "criminal conspiracy", they did not use the word "collusion" as that is not a crime, as you have properly stated.

There have been a lot of allegations & some proven facts brought forth about Hillary's actions, it may lead to a finding of "criminal conspiracy" in a similar investigation, or not!

Trump is only expressing his opinion of Hillary's actions! Same thing as Democrats expressing their opinions for the last 2-1/2 years! What seems more paranoid is that Dems are STILL expressing that opinion, even after their own investigation has determined it NOT TO BE SO!

Why is it when it is well known thru all US intel agencies that Russia did and are continuing to hack into the US e******ns.

Christopher Wray Trumps FBI Director testified last week that the Russians did hack into our e******n process and are still doing it right now.

Muellar testified and told Congress the Russians did hack our e******ns and are doing it right now.

Here Question 1: Why is Moscow Mitch McConnell blocking any kind of legislation that would prevent any foreign adversary from hacking into our e******n process. Trump also continues to say the Russians didn’t do it.
——————————————————————-
So here is what we have every intel agency including the FBI, CIA and every intel agency in this country all confirm the Russians are doing it and are continuing to do it.

Question 2: If that’s the case where is Donald Trump getting his intelligence and he is determined to convince his ignorant base that the Russians didn’t do it. Trump did tell this country that Vladimir Putin told him they didn’t do it. So Trump gets his intel from Putin. I guess that makes sense to the Trump/ Moscow Mitch/ and Trumps comrades in the Senate. (REPUBLICAN PARTY)

I am looking forward to the Trump supporters sound intellectually sound response.
