Even Comey said it was unusual and not standard procedure. I’m assuming procedures exist, because they are the best way to deal with a situation. Why deviate when the stakes are so high? Now we find out the details of Strzok and Page who were key players in the investigation.
Also, I didn’t get it from Fox news. I got it from the 25 page report.
Let’s not forget these are the same agencies that gave us WMD in Iraq to justify a war there.
FAKE NEWS
I knew her hearing would be GOOD. You know it’s bad when a lawyer tries to push out a hearing, because she needs more prep time. How much prep time does a lawyer really need? Of course, now the left will just pivot and say Trump’s a puppet of China and not Russia.
I’m not a Trump supporter(everybody know on this forum), however here is some thought on why he is doing what he is doing on Russia.
As far as Russia collusion is concerned let the truth come out.
I am a nice person too.
Forget about it.
Fire is burning in California. Weinstein is too much a problem than Putin. Most of the time, people forget about important problems and waste their time on things they can’t control and don’t have access to.
It’s much more meaningful to fight anaginst strict rent control than wasting time
It may be perhaps my rosy positive way of looking at things but this is just a battle in a war. Yes, we may lose a few battles at the beginning, but the goal is to win the war. I am hoping that if the rent control laws (in practice) become so draconian towards the owners that perhaps THEN a solid challenge might be sucessful enough that it gets to the highest court in the land. Think about it, rent control is not EVERYWHERE in the US yet. Sure, in big cities like NY or SF but still not everywhere. Imagine it being everywhere and then the outcry from all the owners who can’t raise the rent for right reasons, etc. When everyone, everywhere is feeling the pain, then it will get the attention it needs. Right now, no one really cares what happens in snobby SF or NY but what happens when it hits the smaller towns?
Rent control is like an opium or heroine. Once it gets out of the box, you can’t get it back into the box.
If you let your niece to become addicted to heroine for 20 years, do you think you can ask a judge to get her out of the addition?
The only thing we can do is to fight in the elections. Supreme Court ruling might be many years away, it’s not even clear if rent control is a priority for republicans since only bluest cities have rent control, why should they care about us moderate and extreme liberals? We all know that there are zero real conservatives in SF，and zero viable republican candidate for every office.
We are the lonely people, who would have to fight against Proposition 10 alone, us alone.
Just sell your properties and put the money into the stock market. 
That’s an option when they allow 1031 exchange from houses to stocks. What’s your plan for your capital gain tax on short term trading?
For RE, at least you can exchange to Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Texas to reduce natural disaster risk, and more importantly, the liberal social disaster risk of Proposition 10!
Yeah, Liberal Social Disaster Risk of rent control!
Just pay your share
Don’t like to pay California capital gains tax to sponsor the Social Disaster Party
Nothing money can’t solve.
Precisely because of the anti growth movement you are getting super duper appreciation. Try buying in flyover state and tell me how much money you make.
Strict rent control is property confiscation. I won’t accept it.
As I send in another thread, Austin appreciation was 40% better than San Francisco for the last 30 years. California property value has violent fluctuations, we may have mistaken the super application during the boom as average. If you count from 2007 to 2018, appreciation is subpar. Our brain tends to forget about dark days of 2008-2012.
Strict rent control will destroy property value for rentals. Sell when you still can.
I don’t like Texas weather, but their economy is doing really well, better than Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Florida. Florida has too many natural disasters, comparable to California’s social disasters.
Since when does the government ever shrink or repeal a program? Once rent control happens,and they collect fees from landlords to add more government employees to enforce it there will be no chance of getting repealed.
Seattle city council is a joke. They dedicate WAY too much time to speaking out against Trump and specifically his border policy. They can’t do anything about federal laws. I think it’s just a way to pander to their base and detract attention from their budget mismanagement and inability to solve the homelessness and drug problems.
Government is a Pandora’s box. Once evil is out, you can’t take it back.
How is it (rent control) really different from civil rights? Come on, way more worse laws were the law of the land at one time and eventually we saw the light and corrected matters. I just think rent control is heading in that direction (if it does spread to everywhere first). It is always the darkest before the dawn…
To be honest, I think communism is Justin Bieber and capitalism is Albert Einstein. Communism is way more popular than capitalism.
And guess what? Supreme Court judges are like Simon in American idols, they work for popularity.
This is the side effect of Trump. As the country jumps right California veers left as a reaction. Trump is so hated on the left Democrats don’t need to cater to the middle to get votes. Just being anti trump is going to get them elected.
