>>11% -- one of the highest in the USA.

That means HI probably is carrying more of the federal tax burden now- assuming you have people paying more than $10K state tax.

>>Not that I'm aware of - and it probably will not at all. Even during the housing-bubble-bust Hawaii seemed to do better than all the other states. Hawaii is kinda the 'exception to the rule' in a lot of cases though.

Your glorious revolution appears to involve replacement of all air travel by rail, so perhaps this time it will be different for Hawaii. ;-)

>>Trump is a liar and idiot etc etc

I gave a specific example of the MSM's "get him!" attitude and you just rattle off some more insults. OK. The truth is that 24/7 negative coverage is what sets the tone.

>>By having a criminal for a president. I like how you use the famous Trump/FoxNews line "harrassing" bit there -- cute lol.

I like to use the dictionary definition. I suppose Fox also may rely on a dictionary, but I don't watch it and can't say. "Criminal" also has a dictionary definition BTW and you're misusing the term.

>> And Mike P is just freaking weird dude -- not to mention a hateful anti-gay conversion-therapy twisted nut job, and for a supposed religious person he sure as hell has no problem lying to the American people and spreading hate. Trump has not really ruined the republican party so much as outed them for what they really stand for. You seem to be under the false impression that these investigations are not generating any results.

These vile attacks are boring after so many months of repetition and your other taunts make no attempt to address my point, which was that Pence's "freaking weird" behavior is the best defense against today's freaking weird ideology.

As for investigations: the mistake Manafort and others made was not to bitbleach everything, destroy subpoenaed evidence, use hammers to render devices unreadable and other tactics that we know allow people to get away with criminal behavior. Never fear, the lesson is well learned so if you are imagining more process crimes to try to pin something on Trump, I wouldn't hold your breath.
