Slate or Weekly Standard?
Quick guessing game: Does this headline and opening line come from Slate, or the "conservative" magazine Weekly Standard?
Trump Calls FBI 'Disgraceful' En Route to Speech in Which He Called Himself a 'Loyal Champion' of Police ... Donald Trump's Friday morning appearances were an amusing reminder of a central presidential incongruity: He loves and supports law enforcement, except the ones trying to enforce the law on him.No one give the answer in the comments for the first 60 responses or so. Just give your guesses (or, if you already know, refrain from answering). Answer: In white font, so you have to scroll over and hold like you're trying to copy a link to see it: It's the Weekly Standard. Obviously. Like their role models at the New York Times, they are still incapable of reporting the "insurance policy" text.

Also, isn't the standard deduction doubling? That will far more than make up for it.

Any benefit of the doubt I gave them during the GE is over Trump has governed more conservatively than our last 4 Presidents and certainly more conservatively than any President named Bush.
And further, more conservatively than Reagan too. There. I said it.
Now there can be honest debate about whether he's governing more conservatively than Reagan, but the fact that he's governed more conservatively than the l last 4 is not subject to debate. Yet the NeverTrumps hate him with the same passion. Hence my conclusion -' Weekly Standard *is* Slate. No difference except for marketing

May your Grandmother feel the love, peace and presence of the Lord escorting to the next step in her journey into the eternal kingdom. May the Holy Spirit surround you and the rest of her family with strength and deep spiritual comfort.

Hehe. Sorry to step on you like that - let's file it under "great minds think alike, and at almost exactly the same time!"
By the way - the extreme asininity of not being able to understand that you can be supportive of local and state police and also point out the FBI has become a hyper partisan, useless and incompetent bunch of pencil pushing "Washington Babbitts" - is breathtaking
OH sorry CBD - didn't chime in earlier - but I disagreed with your anti-police post of the other day. The vast majority of police ( and I have known a great deal of them and, full disclosure, represented members of one police force that shall remain nameless as the PD was a client of a firm I worked for - good times,. good times) are trying to do good and are very professional at what they do. It varies from force to force about overall levels of professionalism - but, on the whole, they do good. Are there bad ones? Yes. Are the police, generally, overly militarized? yes. (Why? because our federal government is not doing fa good job of ensuring our borders are secured and that we are protected from terrorism, so they have to be.) Is there a lot we could do to make them better? yes, of course. Will there still be bad police forces here and there and some really corrupt cops? yes. I chalked up your, shall we say, over-the-top post to the horrific video of that shooting - which we all agree was wrong and should have led to very severe repercussions to the particular office in question.I dont think any name calling was due for it even though I disagreed. And I agree civilians have ever right to look at and judge the actions of their civil police force - which is NOT and never should BE a military unit.
And nor is the idea of a national police force in ANY WAY a good idea - and it is certainly not a conservative idea - and the fact that the Weekly Standard thinks that the FBI is one is, frankly, scary. What on earth do leftists think?

All my grandparents have been gone for decades now but not a day passes that I don't miss my grandmas. My one grampa was a bit of a groper and the other one, well, when I was in 1st grade he drove his car by me walking home from school and said, "hey, little girl, want a ride?" Took a moment to realize it was him (he wasn't local, I didn't know they were visiting). So, yeah, my grandmas, they were the best.

I was lucky - I had all four of my grandparents into my 40s.
There are about eight kids under 5 that play every day in my yard, driveway and trees. I'm damn lucky. My grandkids are close but I sure don't see them everyday. I love those little shits - they are loud, dirty and have the energy of madmen. The occasional stomped flower or finding the kids knee deep in the fish pond trying to catch them is a small price to pay.
I'd hate to live in a place that only had guys/gals my age. How boring.

Now there is an Asian American lady I wish I had met at university. Where was she when I needed her at Berkeley? Well, duh, the answer is at Oberlin, 2000 miles to the east, but anyway.....

well if you're going to work you go to where the job is; I'm in East Texas and find it very nice. Central Texas is nice too. Of all the big cities, Fort Worth is by far my favorite, I get over there fairly often. Quite different than Dallas, even though they're close. Austin and Houston - meh. overcrowded anthills. San Antonio has a lot of charms, even if English is a second language there.

In any case, I never liked the word "conservative" -- it was too dependent upon other meanings, like the word "moderate". So it can keep shifting under your feet.
I'm more happy to call myself a "Social Traditionalist"

I get what you mean, but I'd just as soon jettison the word "conservative" altogether since it's been utterly demonized by generations of Leftist Pavlovian brainwashing at this point.
In fact, it might be a more useful strategy to make them own it and then turn their own tools against them in a Trump-like manner.

My Texan grandma on mom's side was so wise. I could ask her a thorny question and she would consider it for a moment and then answer with what seemed like almost a non-sequitur but not quite. So, I'd wander off. About 30 minutes later I would suddenly realize she had said something very profound.

Yeah, many people confuse statistical "life expectancy" with the normal life span.
You get people thinking that a "life expectancy" of 35 means that 35 was ooooooold, one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel oooooold. And all it may mean is that most people either croaked by age 2 or in their 70's.

he went to Pickton U. for college. He actually graduated from
Crozier Tech High School -but I think it was called Dal High back then (Dal Tech High School.) He played football for Crozier Tech against Highland Park when Doak Walker was playing. He always thought Walker was a snob -but he really liked Bobby Layne who also played football for Highland Park in the early 1940s.

They pretend that Trump is just mad at Hillary--a mere snit.
They call the texts "anti-Trump". Lots of people are anti-Trump--but they don't sit around in the Asst. FBI Director's office plotting to manufacture evidence to frame and wiretap a presidential candidate. That's not "anti-Trump"; it's anti-representative democracy and criminally seditious.
