However, the President doesn't make the budget.  While the President submits budget requests, Appropriations are the responsibility of Congress.

I don't care.  Democrats blamed Bush for EVERYTHING and continued to do so for years after he left office. What's good for the goose...

So it's Obama's fault.

The way Kaine kept interrupting Pence right from the start was one of the rudest, nastiest excuses for "debating" I have ever had the mispleasure of seeing. That guy is a piece of shit.

Before you can fix it, you need to understand it.  Wanting to understand and not just jump straight to fixing is a major step forward.

According to Nancy Pelosi, not only do you not need to understand the problem, you don't even need to know what your solution is before signing it into law.

I don't care, the emphasis is getting means mine out of the disaster zone as quickly as possible.

Have you ever actually been in a natural disaster? Do you think you're going to just put your family in the car and drive away?  Do you really think looters are only after your shit?  Do you imagine they won't rape your 14 year old daughter?

Than you have to add the odds that you can't shoot straight in an emergency.  Don't believe me?  Try this:

So?  "Real life gun fights are nothing like video games." "You're no good without training."  Is this supposed to be news to me?  The real sheepdog (like me) gets intensive training in civilian self defense and stays "current and proficient" by shooting IDPA or other matches, that are specifically tailored for civilian self defense scenarios. Match shooters are better trained than many police officers and WAY better than the average criminal. This video is biased as hell, obviously meant to convince us not to even think about having firearms for our own defense.  They give no information of how to get proper training, and they promote the lie that the safest way to behave with a shooter is to run or hide or play dead. (Don't try to shoot him yourself, no!  Let him continue on and slaughter 30 more people.  This is a f*cking disgusting thing to teach people.) The cases where a civilian firearm is used to stop a crime are portrayed as flukes when they are nothing of the kind, they mention them only because social media now lets us all know about it, something that didn't happen when media controlled all the news, so they must admit it to then dismiss it, and they make no mention whatsoever of how many crimes are prevented by the fact that civilians carry guns whether or not they've any training or skill in their use at all. What an irresponsible piece of trash. This kind of thing is used to brainwash people into giving up their right to defend themselves.

Getting people to give up their right to defend themselves, getting them to believe that they cannot successfully fight an attacker, by law or by ability - do you know what that is? That is what we did to black slaves. That is what they did to the Jews in Germany.  That is called Evil. People who deny you the right to defend your own life with technology equal to what criminals commonly have (guns) are Evil. Because they strive to weaken the innocent and leave the advantage to killers, rapists and thugs.

Like I said, I once had reliable numbers saying your odds of suffering a firearm tragedy are higher than your odds of a home invasion of the sort that will harm you (keep in mind most "home invasions" are burgers looking for a quick and uncomplicated score).  I don't have the numbers anymore, but my guess is if you don't live in a war zone and don't do or sell drugs, the odds on your home being invaded by someone who wants to harm you are laughably small and simply don't justify the investment and upkeep of a firearm.  Moreover, any home that has small children and firearms laying about loaded (a prerequisite for home defense) is just asking for tragedy.

Oh Lord I typed out a long response to this and the computer started screwing up so I'm letting well enough alone and quitting.

If someone really wants to assault me they'll find it laughably easy.  I walk 3 miles to and from work every day.  I'm outside, unarmed and unarmored.  But Steingar does not and will not live in fear.

People who carry guns don't have fear. They have a plan. Learn the difference.

To brag that you're walking around with no defense or protection, and you're unconcerned, "Here I am, a baby seal, come get me Orca!" To people who carry guns, that is what you look like, and it's not something brag worthy.

I listened to that entire speech. Donald Trump was talking about ideological profiling and he went on to make that very plain. He was talking about finding out whether a refugee or would-immigrant had any signs of extremist leanings, any history or evidence of association with known terrorist organizations or sympathies with their cause.  He made this VERY plain. To say he was advocating profiling based on race is an outright lie.

Big surprise you haven't yet figured out how to look stuff up on the internet.

So let's see, the brother was a ne'r do well who drank himself into an early grave. I think I'd not object to my parent cutting him out of the will. Why throw good money into an addict's hole?  Then Trump pledged to pay for one of the alcoholic's grand baby's care, but the alcoholic brother's kids sued Trump.  Well, I'd renig on a pledge to pay for my nephew's kid's care too if said nephew opened a lawsuit against me.  Let the nephew pay for his own kid's care if it's going to be like that. It's not my responsibility.  VERY LIKELY the kid got the care he needed and the problem now is the parent is stuck with the bills. Why should that be Donald's problem?

Now if anyone can show me evidence that Trump going back on his pledge actually caused the kid harm, that's different.

  She either lied, is careless with classified material or is ignorant about how to handle it. 

I read the whole FBI report myself.  She is careless, ignorant, and incompetent.  The report did not convince me she was deliberately criminal, but that she is deeply irresponsible and clueless.
