I don't care what you think, aoFrantic. But I'm on your team, big guy.

I didnt say anything about who you voted for. or who you claim to have voted for. I said that you support republicans. and you clearly do as you show up here firing off bs and debunked right wing talking points and criticisms of the left.

ya kno, something about walks like, talks like, and acts like.

Yes, the story hasn't been confirmed at all yet. This is just for indictment funsies. I don't think I could even name 70 people around Trump who are compromised, but I guess anything is possible with this "big dreamer" as POTUS.

...70 is tough.

Ghouliani, Ivanka, Don Jr, Eric, certainly some more GOP, devos's brother gotta be on there, I'm forgetting a bunch since that feels like forever ago. Trump's lawyer gotta be on there. I'm sure we could come up with a decent number. Pence obv.

Of course this is all if you believe him since he's been on the louise mensch train of ridic. 70 indictments would be the most ridic thing ever of lols, till they all get pardoned

You gotta love the brain disease of job creator worship that made lew think "but what about the CORPORATE tax rate" would be a response to an accusation that the GOP wants to slash taxes on the rich.

Especially since we went on to learn that lew doesn't know what the corporate tax rate is, but just incredible. Who does lew think the rich are, if "large and small business owners" aren't rich?

Yeah, I edited in Ivanka and a few other names. Oh, Pence. Edit: fixed list.

This is Donald Trump's personal lawyer, who seems have one interest in common with DJT. Read the first handful of responses.

I'm a Canadian who has been over 18 for 3 federal elections and voted for NDP, Conservative and Liberal parties in the three different elections. How the **** are you on my team? You literally never know anything. My team is anti ignorance.

Also, Claude and Louise are basically the Cernovich of the left. This indictment **** is no different from pizzagate. Stop it.

What I don't get is why you characterise what you want as "lower taxes" as opposed to a policy change where money doesn't get spent on killing browns. If federal taxes were lower, the GOP would deficit-spend to finance wars anyway. I know this because that's what GWB actually did for 8 years.

The problem here is the distinction between "freedom", "states' rights", "lower taxes" etc, all of which are fine as abstract ideas, and all those things as actually used in American politics, where they are all code-words for regressive policy ideas. The solution is to support specific policy ideas rather than empty catchphrases. "Lower taxes" is completely meaningless unless one specifies what the government is going to stop paying for. Support things like a smaller, less aggressive military instead. Unfortunately, there are no major parties which support that. But supporting "lower taxes" instead is not going to get you there.

I was directly responding to a post that suggested that only the .1 or .01 percent of the richest people would benefit from any Trump tax cuts. That is clearly and demonstrably false and I gave the example of the corporate tax rate. Not sure if you are being intentionally obtuse or if you are just actually obtuse.

lol that cohen pick is utterly amazing. not a single person has made a supporting comment.

Stopped reading. Go whine about your own politicians.

OMG what?

So Lew is not on my team anymore. That didn't last long.

Yep. Trump-Ailes-O'Reilly-Cohen.

A shame he's not proud of her for only being an "Ivy League daughter".

The only way for the modern US government to work is through compromise. The conservative movement is 1000% against compromise on pretty much everything. So I agree that giving them an inch is the worst possible decision.

One of Obama's biggest flaws was trying to bring the parties together and be inclusive. In hindsight these were some of his worst decisions. So it's not like we are speculating we know exactly what they will do at every turn.

Since the republicans will not compromise or negotiate in good faith on anything, they must be aggressively opposed at every opportunity. The republicans are going to have to earn back good faith by their actions over a long period of time.

All kidding aside they are cutting heroin with the most extremely potent pain relievers out there. I forget the name of the latest one but a tiny amount has effects magnitudes greater than heroin or oxy. It is marketing.

Not to be a Wire cliche but it really is a boon for drug dealers when people overdose on their product. It puts it in high demand.

Not really entirely true but certainly in many cases. We absolutely should fund single payer healthcare through taxes and the federal government and it should be our single biggest expenditure by far.

Certainly several things the federal government should not be doing but state governments also have similar problems. The reality is people grousing about taxation these days rings hollow as we have fairly moderate tax burdens compared to the history of the country.

We certainly need to cut spending in many areas and increase it significantly in others. Tax simplification is certainly an excellent goal but tax cuts pfft. That should be in the top 25 things people should be worried about.

You tell Roberto it's got to be a serious smoker you hear me I want those MFN fiends dropping in the streets like flies

How have I not been following this?

Fentanyl.

It's called being an adult and making adult decisions.

You don't always get a great option when you have to make a choice. In this particular case, though, Trump was demonstrably the worst choice and anyone who voted Trump, third party or not at all failed bigly to put on their big boy pants and make a real decision.

Thinking trump and Clinton were just the same before the election was very dumb. Still believing it now is reaching superstar levels of stupidity.

Lol you voted for Johnson because you were not in a swing state. You doubled down on being as awful as possible when voting.
