Here is a break down of the corporate tax breaks that would have costed the New Your Tax payer:

Here’s how the HQ2 incentives were going to break down

For the Long Island City location, Amazon was going to receive $1.2 billion in refundable tax credits through New York State’s Excelsior Jobs Program if the company created 25,000 net new jobs in New York State by the end of June 2028. New York State had also promised a $505 million capital grant to reimburse Amazon for the costs associated with building its office space.

Amazon also planned to take advantage of incentives through New York City’s Industrial and Commercial Abatement Program and New York City’s Relocation and Employment Assistance Program (REAP). Unlike the incentive offered by state officials, these city programs are available to any businesses that meet their specific requirements. Tax breaks through REAP, for instance, could have added up to $900 million.

The Trump Chumps seem to be clinging to any idea that the FBI’s efforts weren’t entirely perfect. As if to say sure trump colluded with Russia, sure he invited foreign interference, yes he committed illegal acts.  But you didn’t properly dot an “I” so you shouldn’t be allowed to know any of it.  As if that is worse.   Insane. 
 

just remember what they impeached clinton for.  And the months long investigation on Hilary.  
 

also love that Chris Steele and Ivanka were personal friends.  When team trump attacked Steele she sure didn’t admit that did she?

RE AOC.....

don't think she'll be hearing from the haters.

She just accomplished more in a short while than ninety percent of her fellow legislators do in their entire careers.

"doesn't know what she's doing" my ass.... she's very effective. That of course is why she is attacked.

GENEVA (AP) — Global commerce will lose its ultimate umpire Tuesday, leaving countries unable to reach a final resolution of disputes at the World Trade Organization and instead facing what critics call “the law of the jungle.’’

The United States, under a president who favors a go-it-alone approach to economics and diplomacy, appears to prefer it that way.

The terms of two of the last three judges on the WTO’s appellate body neared their end at midnight Tuesday. Their departure will deprive the de facto Supreme Court of world trade of its ability to issue rulings.\The panel is supposed to have seven judges. But their ranks have dwindled because the United States — under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Trump — has blocked new appointments to protest the way the WTO does business.

The only thing that mystifies next is how quickly Dems are moving.  They have multiple court cases pending that could compel very important witnesses and documents to be presented that could prove even more crimes.  
 

The fact trump is pushing for a speedy trial would give me pause. He’s obviously trying to beat the court cases.  Unless the Dems have some sense there are senators willing to break with trump it seems the only reason is to run the 2020 election with an impeached incumbent which won’t matter to his alt right racist base anyway.

This is a point often overlooked.  I mentioned it several times in this thread.   Elements of the fbi WERE biased.  They DID leak. But it was to hurt Hilary. 
 

they forced Comey to make that stupid statement about hilary’s emails that arguably have the election to trump.  And Rudy knew about it.  
 

The only “scum” in the fbi helped trump

Idiots, the lot of them:

Driving the news: Carlson's show, "'Tucker Carlson Tonight," aired a segment Tuesday on garbage in the progressive Democrat's district in the borough of Queens, New York City. "How can we take seriously anything she says about the environment when this is her congressional district? She should be ashamed of this," he said.

(Reality check: Local government oversees sanitation issues in New York; it's not a federal matter, AP notes.)
