Both parties have spend decades kicking the deficit and debt can down the road.

Certainly, any day now

Well, the dump Trump wet dream has been going on for over a year now.

. . the deep cultural rot that has corroded nearly all of our institutions and every corner of our culture is not just about a few badly behaved men. Sexual harassment, and the sexism it’s predicated on, involves more than the harassers and the harassed; when the harassers are men with loud microphones, their private misogyny has wide-reaching public consequences. One of the most significant: the 2016 election.

Matt Lauer interviewed Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump in an official “commander-in-chief forum” for NBC. He notoriously peppered and interrupted Mrs. Clinton with cold, aggressive, condescending questions hyper-focused on her emails, only to pitch softballs at Mr. Trump and treat him with gentle collegiality a half-hour later. Mark Halperin and Charlie Rose set much of the televised political discourse on the race, interviewing other pundits, opining themselves and obsessing over the electoral play-by-play. Mr. Rose, after the election, took a tone similar to Mr. Lauer’s with Mrs. Clinton — talking down to her, interrupting her, portraying her as untrustworthy. Mr. Halperin was a harsh critic of Mrs. Clinton, painting her as ruthless and corrupt, while going surprisingly easy on Mr. Trump. The reporter Glenn Thrush, currently on leave from The New York Times because of sexual harassment allegations, covered Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 campaign when he was at Newsday and continued to write about her over the next eight years for Politico.

A pervasive theme of all of these men’s coverage of Mrs. Clinton was that she was dishonest and unlikable. These recent harassment allegations suggest that perhaps the problem wasn’t that Mrs. Clinton was untruthful or inherently hard to connect with, but that these particular men hold deep biases against women who seek power instead of sticking to acquiescent sex-object status.

Zack Morris wrote: Are you trying to falsely claim that both parties have been equally fiscally irresponsible? Last I checked, slashing taxes on the wealthy rentier class while increasing spending has been a hallmark of 21st century GOP fiscal stewardship.

Although both parties can be accused of being insufficiently serious about rectifying our fiscal problems, the GOP is far and away the worst offender. It is the Stupid Party, after all.

The day is approaching gradually. The last quarter century alone has seen such a rapid, non-linear increase in industrialization that joking about failed predictions of a quainter, bygone era no longer carries the same punch. In the end, the wolf actually comes.

HP,

What if the Zionists who run the NYT are reporting fake news to fool the non-Zionists into thinking the Missile Defense system does not work in hopes of boosting their confidence that an attack on the Saudi's will be successful. Could it all be part of Allah's plan ?

Deutsche Bank, the German bank that serves as Trump’s biggest lender, was forced to submit documents about its client relationship with the president and some of his family members . .

..

Deutsche Bank has for months been the subject of intense scrutiny – especially by Democrats on Capitol Hill – because of its dealings with the president and its history of banking violations, including its dealings in Russia.

'I just want to let you know Harvey's a RAPIST': Lena Dunham's damning email to Hillary Clinton revealed - but she ignored it for a year, took his cash and even wanted to be in business with him.

Bill and Hillary Clinton knew about the allegations against Harvey Weinstein as far back as 2008

Hope Hicks had trained at Hiltzik Strategies, the powerful public relations firm that represents Hollywood clients and corporate executives, before Ms. Trump brought her in-house.
