I am sure that this type of partisan hackery has happened before, but to this level of incompetence?

Men without beards “cannot be distinguished from women” and can provoke “indecent thoughts,” an Islamic preacher in Turkey told the religious television station Fatih Medreseleri.

“Men should grow beards. [Beards are] one of the two body parts that separate men from women," Murat Bayaral said Saturday.

"For example, if you see a man with long hair from afar, you may think he is a woman if he does not have a beard. Because nowadays, women and men dress similarly. God forbid! You could be possessed by indecent thoughts,” he explained, expressing fear that men might look at members of the same sex with sexual interest.

The talk comes as Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan takes the country down an increasingly religious path with a new version of Islamic nationalism. Since the founding of modern Turkey in 1923, the word "secularism" was enshrined in Turkey’s constitution. but Erdoğan has increasingly recommended that religion become a part of public life. Over the past year, classes on evolution have been removed from public school curricula, and the government permitted girls to wear headscarves in school, something that was prohibited in the past.

Vice President Mike Pence is delaying his visit to Israel and Egypt until 2018, his office announced on Monday.

Pence was originally scheduled to depart over the weekend, but the trip was delayed until this week so that he could preside over the upcoming Senate vote on tax code changes. On Monday, the trip was pushed off again and Pence will not make the visit before the new year.

In addition to being horribly regressive and completely unnecessary, and debt exploding, those morons couldn't even do the one thing that might actually help--simplify the tax code.

At least this version does actually lower my taxes, or so it seems. I didn't ask for that and still don't want/need it, but hey, it's something. I can save money for my kids to have when the economy goes Mad Max.

Best deal is if you make $1M or more, second best deal is if you are over the $500K level. If you are farther from those figures, things get a lot less valuable in a hurry.

Trump is boasting to friends and advisers that he expects Mueller to clear him of wrongdoing in the coming weeks, according to sources familiar with the conversations. The President seems so convinced of his impending exoneration that he is telling associates Mueller will soon write a letter clearing him that Trump can brandish to Washington and the world in a bid to finally emerge from the cloud of suspicion that has loomed over the first chapter of his presidency
