Is that what throwing papers in frustration in a private room counts as?

Didn't he say the shutdown would be on him?

You're free to donate your organs to whomever you want. People don't have abortions to make money like you're talking about.
Ahh great answer!!!

Also, there's the abortion ban bill in the Ohio state legislature, so I'm pretty sure this is also political.

It apparently is a political position, since so many politicians are against it.
Yeah, definitely not the third trimester. I'm definitely not "pro-abortion," but I do think that people have the right to choose what happens to their bodies.
Do you think it's wrong even in the case of rape or possible health problems being present to the mother?
Is there any reason why you guys are against abortion besides religious views?
Genuine question, I know I haven't agreed with a lot of folks on here, but I'm just trying to understand other people's political views because I'm starting to get interested in it.

Most likely not $70,000 worth, but if I'm not wrong, I believe they contribute a decent amount along with the taxes that I'm assuming they pay.
re: Trump's Tax Breaks Question (settling an argument)
Posted by boomer16 on 12/12/18 at 1:01 pm to Homesick Tiger
I think it's because it more negatively affects poorer people, regardless of wealth or status. The argument that is being made by more left-leaning people is that taxing the rich more and decreasing the tax breaks even a little bit would ultimately benefit more people. Hopefully that helps some!
I could have read your question wrong, but that's one of the things I'm taking from this. I apologize if this isn't what you were talking about.
I think it's because of the money given to Daniels and the other woman. While he does have the right to pay them off to protect his family, it was done during the 2016 campaign. While this could have just been a coincidence, there's also the argument that he paid them off to keep this from getting out to avoid bad press that would negatively impact his eventual successful campaign.
What a Government Shutdown Means

How much money can the country lose during a shutdown?
The 16-day government shutdown in 2013 cost the country $24 billion of lost economic activity, according to an analysis from ratings agency Standard & Poor's.
"The payroll cost of furloughed employee salaries alone – that is, the lost productivity of furloughed workers – was $2.0 billion," the Office of Management and Budget reported in 2013.
Goldwein says shutdowns "waste money" more than they "cost money."
"We’re not going to spend more money. We’re just going to spend it on worse stuff," he explained. "Instead of paying employees to work, we’re paying them not to work."

re: 2008 Obama Campaign vs. 2016 Trump Campaign
Posted by boomer16 on 12/9/18 at 6:58 pm to Adam Banks
Since you said it affects both his marriage and the election, would it make sense for him to be held accountable for it since the election was impacted by the money that was given to the two parties accusing him? I think there's definitely two sides to this, and it's not as easy to convict nor defend him, you know?
I asked why you said I was suffering from it haha. That is not the same thing as wanting reassurance.
When did I ask for reassurance? I was just asking why you told me I was suffering from it.
Proof that I am suffering daily frantic hysteria?
I'm not melting over the election. I just shared something that compared the two campaign finance violations because I have been reading comparisons between the two on this site.
Are you using your real name?

So one (Trump) deliberately broke the campaign law, but the other (Obama) did not. I understand why Trump supporters are upset about this investigation, but it is definitely different than the 2008 campaign.
