MAN! T Mobile pays $40 million fine to the government and the customers do not see a red cent. Matter of fact, the $40 million will eventually be paid buy the same customer that were defrauded. I sure glad the government is looking out for the consumer!

Was there a vote in Congress? Is the White House saying it is authorized under the War Power Act? Is there any explanation as how there was an eminent threat? This whole things smells of John Bolton!

I have not read the entire thread, so excuse me if this has been discussed. Is your dog getting enough exercise? I got my first pit bull, Lou, as a puppy five years ago. It is amazing how much exercise this animal needs compared to the other breeds I've owned in the past, mostly labs and other field dogs. My pitt's prey drive is satisfied with fetch and a prey stick. He needs 3-4 exercise sessions a day that last 30-40 minutes. We also have a pug, 3 cats and 5 chickens and he only occasionally gets testy with the pug or cats, but no blood drawn.

I've seen a couple of the videos. I looks the government is arguing for socialist control of a private business and Zuckerbreg is arguing for capitalism and private property rights. The first amendment is to stop the government from taking your freedom of speech. I do not want the government controlling/regulating Facebook in the name of free speech. What stops government from controlling other types of media in the name of free speech? Zuckerberg should just give congress the finger.

I do Jersey Mikes at least one day a week. It's the best sub I've had.

I wish people were half as concerned about Yemen as Syria.

Tulsi Gabbard is an interesting non-interventionist Democrat, but I doubt she gets the nomination. Some of her positions are pretty far left.

It is going to be a big year for debt...MAGA!

I guess FireStarter is banned, I don't see 300 post about him not voting. I'll be voting LP unless Rand Paul gets the GOP nomination. I think the LP vote is still important to try to break into the presidential debates. Only having two parties in the debates creates the illusion that people don't have a choice. The idea of voting for Trump to keep the democrats from office kind of went out the window with; Grab the guns first; I'll sign a $1.3 trillion omnibus but blame the democrats; and John Bolton.

Just watched Trump's press conference saying he did not like the bill he signed and will not sign another one like it again. 1) Does not have the courage of his convictions. 2) Blames Democrats for everything bad in it instead of using his veto power. 3) Can I trust him to veto the next bad bill if he will not veto this one?

I didn't vote for Trump but prayed he'd be a good President. He had the worse possible week last week; $1.3 trillion budget and John Bolton. This past week lowered the bar for me. I'd like him to turn things around, but I no longer expect it. If he makes more bad decisions like this, we won't be reelected.
