That was actually pretty revealing. Because in the clip, Stephanopolos doesn't SAY Trump, or 'the president'. Which would indicate that JOHNSON heard the terms 'the enemy within' and using American cities as training grounds and immediately connected it to what Trump had said.

I swear, every time I see Kash Patel looking 'deer in the headlights', I want to ask 'do you need an adult'? He's the head of the FBI, and he looks like he's a hostage. "Blink twice if you need help. Hell, blink at all, it's creeping me out..."

And probably cancels all their ther projects. South Korea is also the home of.. Samsung and LG. I doubt they're going to move any facilities here either.

My instincts keep wanting me to ask him, 'Are you okay, do you need an adult'?

I'm saying... they won't have to take the job from the unethical corporation because they won't GET the job from the unethical corporation... that the poor person with bad credit will have their bad credit discovered through the data mining and be refused the job.

And it sounds like that's a duo that takes care of itself. Unscrupulous company mines for your info, sees your bad credit, probably won't hire you anyway.

Then what's needed is better data security for credit agencies (believe me, data mining to figure out someone's credit rating is the LEAST dangerous thing they can do.. they have your name, address, SSN, date of birth, open accounts, etc. AND enforcement when companies DO that. REAL enforcement.

And on the other side of things, Russia is also experiencing an extremely low birthrate and sending men out to die. This isn't sympathy, it's about MOTIVATION. Possibly looking at simply taking children from Ukraine to repopulate. www.newsweek.com/russia-class...

Russia classifies population data as birth rates plunge t...

Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov has said reviving the nation's birth rate is one of Russia's "top priorities."

If your business is data mining private data illegally from prospective employees?

I probably don't want to work for them anyway.

Well, if you do a credit check on someone, it will actually show up on their credit report. So it doesn't matter if your employer's, or actually potential employers, tell you. You will know.

To be fair, Jones didn't, at least in that part of the quote, say WHICH side that was.....

One report I read said that only ONE detainee agreed to stay.

Who wants to bet that's someone who's filing a lawsuit? Easier to do while IN the country....

And it was more than the Hortmans. The man also shot two other people and had a whole LIST of others he was targeting, including Klobuchar. But that was entirely ignored.

The Administration plays everything is absolutely what they say it is. That boat WAS, no doubt allowed (especially the reasonable kind) delivering drugs, human trafficking, whatever it is now. The point is EVEN IF IT WAS, we STILL have due process. Because even the most sure people can be wrong.

I never saw someone, quite so literally, who 'played themselves'. But she does seem to have some mental health issues, and it's good to note they DID call the ambulance for her, despite that what she was trying to do was to pepper spray them.

I think his point was, and I am really shocked that I think he actually has one, is that even if they were drug dealers, we still have a rule of law.

The worst part about that is, besides being right, a corporation doesn't NEED to make a profit at all. There are people who think the CEO salary comes from profits, but it's a COST. Most corporate profits are used to boost stock values and for stock buybacks.

And the cost of living didn't automatically double? Hmm... that's what they claimed would happen here.... All the while, in the 16 YEARS since the Federal minimum wage was increased, do things cost now what they did in 2009?

Reminds me of the 'dot.com' bubble. People just assumed that 'having an internet website' would automatically (and I think, magically) generate money without any sort of reasoning as to why or how.

I follow quite a few people I'm pretty hyperlexic (compulsive reader, read fast), quite a few people (surprisingly) follow me. I don't CARE that I'm on this list, but every 'moderation' list I am on seems to be based solely on 'too many accounts to possibly read'.

Challenge accepted.

8 TRILLION? Wow, I mean... wow... he could've said billion, he could've said 80 billion and at least not have exceeded the amount of import volume there's been since he was in office (much less since the tariffs were imposed).

That number is simply ludicrous.

Wow, laughing while people critique the law you voted on by saying people will die and saying, "Everybody dies" wasn't a great reelection strategy?

Who knew? Wow, I hope she will struggle on her 19 million net worth, including pretty massive government subsidies.

So Texas Republicans have now set up a TIP LINE to rat out the Texas Democrats
So PLEASE, for the sake of the public, DO NOT FLOOD THIS NUMBER with tips on Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, or asking why Trump is on "the list"

I don't think Trump even DRIVES. It was a joke going around when he was pitching the 'Tesler' on the White House lawn. Which makes that story even more ridiculous.
