    I get this feeling that going over to Syria and meddling in the whole pipeline mess was going to put us inside the Syrian Civil War and perhaps bring on a new Cold War with Russia.
    I really don't mind old codgers like that hanging in there and working until they die at their desks, he is just seeming to be past his expiration date now.

    As for the insider trading allegation, he is worth $21M with about $16M of that derived from family real estate sales, a book deal, and the current value of his home. He has made less than $5M in investment earnings over his career which is actually low for someone of his net worth.

    Finally, tax records show the guy donates between 15-25% of his income to charity each year. Do you think that you can match that? I can't. I'm too busy buying things that go pew pew pew.

    If anyone thinks that elected officials don't take advantage of insider trading and other "perks", they are drinking the kool aid.....

    Term limits is not the panacea everyone likes to think it is. California has had it for some time now. The political corruption from insiders is as bad as ever.

    Healthcare workers are overpaid and politicians are rich because they are corrupt. I'm starting to see the pattern here.

    Fortunately, we have elected a real man of the people as POTUS. I'm sure that he will set things right once he drains the swamp.

    The problem may be, that the scaffolding under the swamp is a swamp in and of itself.

    An endless, mobius strip of intertwining swamps into the blackness of the infinite.

    On Obamacare, I think since the Dems are resisting Trump care, Schummer and the other crazies going on a bus tour to get support to save O's health care debacle. Trump should just let them keep O'care and own it til it totally fails this year. Trump has already stated it would be so if the Repubs didn't get a bill through. Yes, we tried and couldn't get the support to get it passed.
