Leave it to Trump to appoint a top health official who buys stock..... in a tobacco company!What an embarrassment. These people really don't have a clue. President Donald Trump's top public health official resigned Wednesday amid mounting questions about financial conflicts of interest.
Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald's resignation comes one day after POLITICO reported that one month into her tenure as CDC director, she bought shares in a tobacco company. Fitzgerald had long championed efforts to cut tobacco use, which is the leading cause of preventable death. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/31/cdc-director-resigns-over-financial-conflicts-380206Democrat logic: Tobacco is bad for your health but Pot is good let's legalize it. Not to mention TED Kennedy, father & sponsor of the health bill but yet the family fortune was earned from the sales of alcohol. What an embarrassment for these Kennedy's they really don't have a clue....LOL

Not only is the economy on fire, we finally have tax reform, regulations have been reduced, ISIS is getting decimated. MS 13 are getting decimated as well.. if we had a democrat in the white house, none of the aforementioned would have occurred. Blacks have more opportunity than they ever did, however, its up to them to take the initiative and make smart decisions to improve their lives. The government cant do that for them.

Marijuana is healthier than tobacco. Proven fact.
Tobacco is one of the leading causes of cancer. (Marijuana is not). Anyone in the health care industry investing in tobacco stocks is effed up enough as it is. The CDC director doing it? Only Trump. lol. Only Trump.
Bullshit........hyperbole ! There is plenty of hyperbole from both sides in this thread, but what about the statement you quoted was? You guys don't even try to listen to each other in here, and that's basically a small scale of the nation as whole today. "I'm right, you're wrong, fuck you."

Funny that these abuses did not come up for discussion or debate during the recent reauthorization of FISA 702. Does this imply Congress just reauthorized an act that is known to be actively abused? Nunes voted yes, btw. I'm looking for a logical, non-political argument, for that glaring inconsistency. I've yet to see one anywhere.

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

Ghost voting. It is a lot more common with politicians. If a vote comes up and they are not there or away from their vote button, another member of the party who is sitting next to them will vote in their place. Thanks for posting that Oak, I felt there would be indictments this summer, but looks like this spring.

Im aware of ghost voting. But Nunes actually cast his on the reauthorization, so that doesnt apply here. If they had concerns about FISA abuses they had ample opportunity to address them before the vote three weeks ago. Full disclosure - ive long opposed the Patriot act but I support the memos release now that its become such an issue. I also want the response memo released, and the initial FISA application, as this was renewing, not initially requesting. Page has been said to have been investigated going back to at least 2013. https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/fo...ier-1517486401?__twitter_impression=true

You still haven't answered my questions Don't get your hopes up. Trump will NEVER do anything right according to him. His mind will not let him type "good job" and "Trump" in the same sentence.

Heres the actual memo https://www.scribd.com/document/370599274/House-Intelligence-Committee-releases-memoThey don't even say that the Steele Dossier was the sole basis for the application (or subsequent 3 renewals which each must be based on new and different probable cause). This doesn't at all say what many thought it would. It also states that there are parts of the Steele dossier that are corroborated.

He's been in office 12 months and there's been talk of "indictments" virtually on a weekly basis. The good thing is the American public won't tolerate Trump being brought down on Trumped up charges.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!" -- Devin Nunes
The memo clearly states it was PapaD that kicked off the investigation, not the dossier. But the memo does blow up the theory that the dossier is all fake. And four different judges approved the FISA warrants, on four separate occasions, so there's that as well.
Also, given that Gowdy, not Nunes, is the one Republican who actually read the intel upon which the memo is based, this is significant:
Trey Gowdy Trey Gowdy @TGowdySC As I have said repeatedly, I also remain 100 percent confident in Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The contents of this memo do not - in any way - discredit his investigation.
