Cato Institute lauds New Hampshire as one of freest states, points to ways to get even better
“less-skilled workers priced out of the market by minimum wage laws”
Cato Institute lauds New Hampshire as one of freest states, points to ways to get even better | New Hampshire | watchdog.org
Oh come on Cato crew, that is fucking ridiculous. How about minimum wage workers priced out of the housing market by decades out of date wages?
Double speaking, duplicitous, simpletons.

Kellyanne Conway Says Anti-Trump Op-Ed Is Illegal, But That She Has ‘No Idea’ Why
Oh, Kellyanne…. Either you support the office of President because transformed into a dictatorship which squelches dissent with all the force of the its resources or you don’t. What are you doing opening the door if you don’t have the spine to go through it.
Mike Pence, Kellyanne Conway deny they’ve discussed invoking the 25th Amendment against Trump
“If senior administration officials think the president of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told CNN. “The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the vice president and senior officials think the president can’t do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the president — take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds”
Every one of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States,” Warren added. “It’s time for them to do their job.”

Dallas cop who, after braking and entering, killed innocent man in his own home should be charged
The fact that she remains free days after the shooting shows she’s receiving favorable treatment.
…”If it was a white man, would it have been different? Would she have reacted differently?” Allison Jean said Friday.
Lawyer: Dallas cop who killed man at home should be charged | Fox News
Well, the only people she’s shot and killed were not white.
I wonder how many Caucasians have resisted arrest or struggled and she hose not to shoot them…
That is a side issue to the fact that she broke and entered this man’s apartment and then murdered him. The fact that she is not in jail is proof the Sheriff’s department is either corrupt or inept. More than likely both.
If law enforcement cannot enforce the law when it concerns one of their own , they are not in the business of preserving law and order.

Can military commanders refuse an order from Trump?
Allegations that Mattis is intervening regularly to avert national security disasters have once again raised the question of whether military commanders possess the authority to refuse a direct order from the President under certain circumstances.
The reality is that the only basis for interfering with a direct order is if it’s illegal, immoral or unethical. And there is a widely held belief among military commanders that they must resign if they are unable to carry out an order that does not rise to that standard.
Speaking publicly on the issue last November, Gen. John Hyten, top US nuclear commander, said he would push back against an order from Trump for a nuclear strike if it were “illegal.”

Federal Judge Has Blocked Texas Fetal Burial Law
A federal judge in Texas blocked a law mandating the burial or cremation of fetal tissue from abortions, miscarriages or ectopic pregnancy surgery in a decision on Wednesday.
U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra issued a permanent injunction prohibiting enforcement of the 2017 law, saying that it imposed “significant burdens on women seeking an abortion or experiencing pregnancy loss” and that it conveyed “minimal, if any, benefits.”
,,,”At worst,” he continued, “the challenged laws intrude into the realm of constitutional protection afforded to ‘personal decisions concerning not only the meaning of procreation but also human responsibility and respect for it.’ “

CNN Op-Ed: How dare a senior Trump official arrogantly subvert an elected President
To the political left, these people are heroes, doing what must be done “to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office,”
How dare a senior Trump official arrogantly subvert an elected President (opinion) – CNN
Newsflash dipshit: No one on the the political left thinks the author or their compatriots are heroes. They are spineless assholes who helped create this situation and now would rather hide in the shadows to save face and their own jobs than come clean and help our Democracy rights its ship.
Thinking coups have no business inside a Democratically elected government is an American stance, not a political one.
I know you are a CNN person and that’s how they roll but baseless statements like that have no business under the umbrella of a “news” organization.
