I love how Republicans are anti-abortion but also anti-maternity leave

That's because a woman's place is at home, not trying to have it all by having a career. Duh.

KNOX NEWS - Glenn 'Kane' Jacobs: 5 things to know about GOP nominee for Knox County mayor

The political newcomer defeated Knox County Commissioner Brad Anders by 17 votes, 14,633-14,616. Commissioner Bob Thomas came in third with 11,296 votes.

Jacobs faces Democrat Linda Haney in the general election, and he will be the favorite in heavily Republican Knox County.

[...]

5. Small government libertarian

Jacobs opposes any tax increase, saying during the campaign:

"Its going to go for roads, well, if thats the case then our roads would be made of gold, he said. Its going to go for schools, well then all of our kids should have PhDs because we spend a lot of money on that.

He has written articles for a libertarian website, saying:

If politicians were truly interested in fairness, they would eliminate coercive taxation from the marketplace altogether."

Regarding immigration: It is the existence of government welfare programs that are much of the problem, attracting people to this country who wish to live off the labor of others.

Regarding taxing internet sales: As with all tax programs, it will transfer resources from the productive sector of the economy to the parasitic sector.

The world is an inherently dangerous place. The idea that the government can protect us is patently absurd. All the government can do is to destroy our liberties while promoting the illusion of safety.

The plan, described as a budget-neutral approach to parental leave by advocates, would allow parents to draw from their Social Security benefits early to fund their parental leave, then require them to delay the collection of retirement benefits by some yet-to-be-calculated period of time. Participation would be strictly voluntary.

TWITTER - Dan Pfeiffer (Pod Save America, CNN)

The collective yawn of the media to the revelation that Trump may have faked his medical records especially after he made Clinton's health an issue is the latest reminder that he gets to play by different rules than any other politician.

https://twitter.com/danpfeiffer/status/991675627613831168?s=20


Plus the raid. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was made fun of with the premise her eye shadow is made out of lies, the media defended Huckabee, and now Huckabee tells the media Presidents take their medical records back like this as if it's some regular procedure and the media's not pushing back.

Michelle Wolf spoke the truth and is paying for it.

I dont really think shes paying for it. Thats the wrong way to look at it IMO. Unless shes suffering consequences that Im not aware of.

The better perspective IMO is that this administration does unfathomably shady shit and almost never pays for it.

Fair. I was thinking from a mainstream audience-perspective when it's appearing to me more clearly now it has made a lot of her existing fans super happy, plus it gets the word out for her show. As long as she doesn't care about journalists defending liars she just called out and saying she went too far, you're probably right.

16. Laura Ingraham is playing the clip right now from Air Force One where Trump says he had no idea about the payment contradicting what Giuliani just said on Hannity.

17. Laura Ingraham just now: They have to clarify this..this is a problem (the contradiction).

Well he would have to somehow prove that he had no idea that money his "fixer" lawyer paid out was somehow reasonably NOT related in some way to the campaign.

Given the timing and the VERY slim profile of legal matters Cohen handled for Trump that gets difficult to prove. Especially given the liklihood that some form of communication between the two men is pretty much necessary for any of this to be set up and the likelihood that some of that was via text or email being relatively high.

Honestly my first assumption for why he paid Cohen in installments was because he really has nowhere near the amount of money he presents himself as having.

But in Trumps case, the adage of never presume malice that which can be explained by stupidity possibly doesnt apply

Cohen used his Trump Organization email while arranging to send the $130,000 to Daniels from a company that he had set up in Delaware shortly before the transfer.


Via NBC News article about Trumps statement aboard AF1

That seems...excessively dumb?

As it happens, it was exactly this crime for which former House Speaker and child molester Dennis Hastert went to jail (the money also being hush payments (to someone he abused)).
