Al Capone didn't go to jail for murder despite the St Valentine's Day massacre; he went to jail for tax evasion. Obamacare won't fine you $325 or 2% of your gross income (whichever is greater) if you didn't have health insurance in 2015; that is a $325 tax instead.

Thank you for making my point. Trump is no worse than the rest out there but the press focuses on him, and my point in pointing this out in this forum is the staggering hypocrisy of those who demonize trump yet champion others just as despicable. Or, as the Bible put it; straining at gnats while swallowing camels. Now,...

By what constitutional authority will Trump do this? This is ALL talk, and will go nowhere, just like his plan to make Mexico pay for a wall, and his plan to deport all illegals, and his plan to bar Muslims from entry into the US.

She's not serving colonial food in the historical sense, as you have linked to.

If you visit Alaska's sex offender site, the majority of the registered sex offenders appear to be Alaska Native. I don't take it lightly bringing this fact up, but it's true.

AA is not being honest. AA immediately tells newcomer it's a spiritual program--not religious.

Old, Linn County's lawsuit against the state is not costing us a dime. As far as pot revenue goes, the distribution is set out in the voter approved M91 at 10% to the counties and the total revenue is going to pale in comparison to historic timber receipts.
