Sounds like the staff is in for a loooonnnnggg month this May.

Damn, that quote saying the US is a business. WTF?

I feel like it was something he didn't even know was there. Like he was having a meltdown over Australia or something and screamed, "Let's nuke those Aussie bastards!!" then mashed the button expecting to hear about mushroom clouds over Melbourne or something, but then a nice butler showed up and was all like, "Would you care for a Coke, sir?" and then he calmed down and forgot about it.

That's only because those Steeler's have KC's number.

Someone start up one of those petitions to tell Coke they won't buy their products as long as Trump is POTUS. I wanna see what happens if they take away his Coke like sponsors dropping Bill O'Reilly.

I don't think so - double taxation regarding dividends and corporate profits is something that Republicans both said and cared about - high-income and high-wealth people are the primary beneficiaries of cutting or eliminating dividend taxation, so in that context Republicans aren't just talking. Same thing here - removing deductibility of state and local income taxes, as well as property taxes, hits high-income types more than anyone else. So removing those deductions is something that Republicans actually care about. Which is why this "plan" will never pass.

I did not at all mean that I thought Republicans would vote down this type of plan because it would expose their hypocrisy. LOL to that.

I don't know if this makes it better or worse but that "plan" has 3 more bullet points than the intel briefings Trump gets daily.

Holy **** this would be incredible.

this is in reference to a bunch of alt right clowns getting ready for street fighting with bamboo sticks...

“They made us out to be clowns!' Ian raged, tearing the tabloid asunder.
“That's part of the plan, you know that.”
“But, but, but, people will think...”
“People are not generally scared of clowns, unless they live in the sewer. And I have a fun assignemnt for you, in Maine, it's time to do some editing...”

The trio approached the famous authors house from the pines by the lake. Deer for days, clumping around, unafraid of the human scent of death having lived so close. Eating the unprotected parts of the garden, the tederest shoots, Bambi the terrorist. They were wearing the clown suits, of course, for the video. This evenings festivities were the logical next step in taking back the country. In making America great again, It was time someone taught these millionaire lefties what free dom of speeach really meant. And actions always spoke louder than words.

At first, they did appear to be clowns, with their yellow fireman hats worn backwards, flag shields copied from Captain America and rattan canes, ala ninjas. Ninja please. Training fro street violence was of course, protected speech. They were just showing those cowards in the black masks the logical evolution of street freedom. But unlike the Black Panthers, the intelligence operatives providing support to them were ture supporters of the cause. Not craven informers selling confused muslims pltonium and then arresting them for headlines. No. These were the truest of believers, finally able to train a domestic army of redneck Nazi peace keepers who had a creed. Don't tread on us. Chanting in the streets with choreographed slashings and banging of canes. With their own masks and goggles, pepper-spray proof. Democracy Now.

“Love it or leave it, Anarchis freak, we will be here all of next week!”.they would chant, alternatively with “Don't tread on us” somehow to the tune of “We will rock you” with canes baning out the familiar Freddie Mercury iconic beat. It sure seemed like more than 24 percent of the crowd was with them in recent weeks. Everybody wanted to get into the units now. Since the newest trial of the century when it was the courts decision that punching women was protected speech if the Nazis could prove bullying by the media leading to mental illness, leading to the whole snowflake Nazi movement.

“We're here, we're fragile, our brains are not too agile”

It was a glorious time to be a Fascist, in the days leading up to the second term. America was finally making strides towards the greatness promised by the leader with the everchanging hairstyle. The accidental conversion of Pyongmang into a glowing crater of molten steel and glass was being looked into. It looked like a nuclear accident caused by the North Koreans themsleves, but the timing was suspicious. When coupled with coincidental, seemingly prophetic statement from the press secretary the day before the 'accident” about how “..a summit of the remaining nuclear powers was at the top of the Presidents to do list, to insure a legacy of peace for all the world's securtiy.” The White House had always had trouble with tenses, as if they knew the future and past were just ideas and were living in the moment like Buddhists. Or did they have access to Hitler's Antarctic time machine. Was he a secret advisor to Trump? Did time stop in 1972 as Phillip K. Dick suggeted? Were we all living in a shadow reality where Rome never fell and was incorporated by the 1000 year Reich?

HBO tried to warn us with the series Man in the High Castle. But that was pure science Fiction, the eerie parallels to modern life were just elements of a story thrown in their by a weed-addled trotskyite writer. A bomb-throwing anarchist whose sole mission was to bring the great Capitalist machine down to it's knees. Surely.

This makes me sick to my stomach whenever I see it in print. How it is even allowed without blatant obstruction charges is beyond me. The focus of the investigation is Trump/Russia. If you are working on something different, GTFO.

Russia investigation 'back on track' after Nunes recusal

Yea, the plan w/ Russia is obvious. Stretch it out as long as possible and hope the American people forget about it and move on.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why Trump is no longer blowing Putin under the table. The longer he goes w/o complimenting him, the "tougher" he looks.

Like everyone else, I have no freaking clue what is happening with Trump & Putin right now. Is it all theater? Was Trump nothing more than the useful idiot this whole time? Was there some plan in place that Trump reneged on, leaving the US/Russia relations at an all time low for reals? We'd really love to know WTF was and is going on there.

I have lived in the Richmond area for awhile and the Monument Ave confederate reverence is staggering, ditto the local public roads schools etc being named after the quintessential & literal defenders of slavery. I could never normalize it despite living here for years but for the vast majority it's NBD.

Still, a part of my can't fully understand how tweets like this isn't political suicide. It's a very sad reflection of the American south where racism is very alive and well.

Need to point out that "special interest deductions" like student loan interest and tuition expense already phase out at higher income levels so eliminating them ONLY hurts the middle class.

Guess you didn't read far enough to see that 1/5 of them voted for Obama at least once. Maybe try running better candidates?

Kinda hard to make that argument when your daddy ran against 16 GOP candidates that couldn't even beat him. Maybe you should try running better candidates?

Ouch

How do confederate monument defenders feel about trump attempting to get rid of existent national monuments? They should be just as mad but lol nature.

One of yesterday's EOs allows Trump to 'review' protected land in the country. I'm sure it'll all be fine in his average sized hands.

3/3 branches. I think the candidates are just fine

And yet, you can't get anything done. Sad!

We both know the truth though. The monuments mean jack squat on their own really. Only the weirdos (and really racist weirdos) are into Confederate heroism, history, and all that jazz. the monuments just represent white identity dominance and the removal of them means, in the eyes of many people, that the natural order of white identity dominance is coming to an end or has ended.

The next big Republican win - I'm sure we'll hear from a bunch of hand-wringing moderates about how taking down the monuments was counter-productive.

Multi million dollar private prison companies just can't survive the onerous regulatory regime that.............. just about any small time business owner does.

Lol A&M. Trickle down economics apparently now means "trickling down from Washington DC". I have to hand it to Conservative media to be able to take any phrase and flip it around.
