No.

Like any marriage involves compromise. It can't all be one partner's way.

Meet in the middle.
What part of each sides want list can be dropped so the most important part gets done.

If you have too many things to do in a day, isn't it better to do the most important things first? The smaller chores can get done the next day.

If there's one thing this forum has........it's excellent sources of marriage advice.  

Prioritizing seems to be a lost art. Along with principles.

The Federal Election Commission issued a warning to a Trump-connected political action committee.

The FEC said the Make America Great Again PAC made several mistakes in its most recent April quarterly report.

Trump's campaign and political committees have faced numerous accusations of mistakes and wrongdoing.

A political action committee connected to former President Donald Trump is under increased scrutiny from federal officials because of apparent discrepancies in its financial disclosures.

Trump's Make America Great Again PAC made several mistakes in its first-quarter 2022 financial report, including discrepancies in its reported cash on hand in addition to calculation errors, according to a July 6 letter the Federal Election Commission sent the committee.

Make America Great Again PAC, which until early 2021 operated as Trump's 2020 presidential campaign committee, has until August 10, 2022, to respond to the FEC's letter and will not receive an extension. If the PAC fails to respond in time, the FEC said it could lead to an audit or "enforcement action."

As of March 31, Make America Great Again PAC reported having about $5.5 million in available cash. It's one of several political committees within the post-presidency political operation of Trump, who continues to mull a run for president again in 2024.

A spokesperson for Trump did not respond to Insider's request for comment.

Warning letters of this sort are not uncommon for large political committees that raise and spend significant money and sometimes make accounting mistakes. Just ask former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, whose old presidential campaign committee received one earlier this month.

Manchin added it was "so wrong" of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to issue threats to sink the bipartisan USICA legislation, which would boost federal investment on emerging technologies like computer chips. The Kentucky Republican reiterated the ultimatum, tied to recent Democratic efforts to resurrect their economic agenda, only hours later.

"Party-line scheming is going to crowd that out," McConnell said on the Senate floor on Monday. "Our side cannot agree to frantically steamroll through bipartisan talks in order to meet an artificial timeline, so our Democrat colleagues can clear the decks to ram through a party-line tax hike."

McConnell threatened to tank the China bill as Democrats make progress towards clinching a deal with Manchin on a scaled-down climate and tax economic spending package. Democrats launched a barrage of attacks against McConnell ever since, accusing him of siding with China.

In 2018, the OpenSecrets website ranked McConnell one of the wealthiest members of the U.S. Senate, with a net worth of more than $25 million. His personal wealth was increased after receiving a 2008 personal gift to him and his wife, given by his father-in-law James S. C. Chao after the death of McConnell's mother-in-law, whose value has been estimated to be $5–25 million.

In May 2019, McConnell's brother-in-law Gordon Hartogensis, who is married to Chao's sister Grace, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), a part of the Labor Department. McConnell voted to confirm.

As Secretary of Transportation, Chao appeared in at least a dozen interviews with her father, James, a shipping magnate with extensive business interests in China

No chance McConnell's inlaws Benefit off his actions?

Jeffrey Epstein introduced me to Trump at 14, Ghislaine Maxwell accuser says
Testifying at Maxwell’s trial in New York City, the woman, identified by the pseudonym Jane, said she met the former president in the 1990s at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

By Tom Winter and Corky Siemaszko
One of the four women who say they were “groomed” for sex by Ghislaine Maxwell testified Wednesday that the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein took her to meet Donald Trump when she was just 14.

Testifying at Maxwell’s trial in New York City, the woman, who is being identified by the pseudonym Jane, said on cross-examination that she met the future president in the 1990s at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Jane didn’t allege any improper behavior by Trump and didn’t go into further detail about why she was at the resort.

“Mr. Epstein introduced you to Donald Trump, correct?” Laura Menninger, Maxwell's defense attorney, asked.

“Yes,” Jane replied.

No.
It is known Trump hung out with Epstein.

Where you been?

Where have you been? It's also known he got upset with Epstein over something and tossed him aside.

Right there in the piece you posted, it says she didn't allege any improper behavior.    But because they merely met, you wanna include Trump in what Bills Clinton and Gates got up to?

Say what you want about Trump the cheating p-hound, he seemed to only pursue full grown women.

Not a fan of bail outs at all. I notice it skipped over all of the Union/Pension bailouts in the last 2 years
