4 hours of trashing Harry and Meghan

As a royal watcher/fan, I watched FOX coverage of Friday Jubilee celebrations. FOX was not allowed into St. Paul’s nor were allowed to use the BBC feed. For about 4 hours, they continually trashed Harry and Meghan. They gossiped and speculated on what was going on in the Queen’s mind, her thoughts and feelings. The A list royals and the B list royals. Assumptions on the Royal interactions. Any type of tabloid gossip was their commentary. FOX as usual stirring the pot of speculation, assumptions, gossip, hearsay…..and slander. Despite all that, they kept saying that this was supposed to be about the Queen and Harry and Meghan were trying to take the focus away from the Queen. Thanks FOX for continuing your slander, lies, and rumors while you are across the pond. This is why Princess Diana had to leave the royal family when she divorced Charles.

Watergate similarities

Just finished watching a multi-episode documentary on the History channel about Watergate. Every legal issue, indictments, obstructions, “running out the clock” are the same today. Only differences were republicans began to turn on Nixon rather than defend him. They were asking him to resign. Those who supported him went to prison while Nixon walked away and was later pardoned. The idiots today will be in jail while Trump goes free. He will never reward them for their loyalty. Just cut Trump loose and put the country back together without him. Only way this country will start to heal.

Just had a telephone town hall with Joe Heck R NV

My question was about the economy.........jobs........investing in America.....nothing getting done in congress due to fillibustering...........compromising..........voting along party lines.....

He denied congress voting on party lines.

Then, when I tried to ask him a follow-up, I had already been cut off.

He went on and on about all of the jobs bills passed in the house.
Of course the keystone pipiline will put all back to work.
Not able to ask any follow-ups.

What a waste of time.

need detailed info on Senate bill 3364. Bring jobs back to America

I am having an on-going debate (on-line) with a friend of mine. The 2 question I keep asking are, Why are Republicans against giving tax breaks to companies who bring jobs back home? Why are Republicans wanting to continue giving tax breaks to companies who ship jobs overseas? ( New jobs in America will make Obama look good and help in re-election)

Rather than answer the questions, she keeps coming back to my use of semantics and Senate procedures. What is cloture? Why was it used in this case? What procedures am I missing in the whole process of this bill? Is it a bill? I need to sound more intelligent in my response. I still keep asking her the same two questions, which she refuses to answer.

Help me sound more intelligent in Senate procedures.

Thanks!

When was the last time Mitt created a job in the US?


I have two questions for the forum:

1. When was the last time Mitt created a job in the US?

2. While at a boys boarding school, did he actually live away from home or was he only a day student? How many years?
