The same principle applies to determining who dealt it.

Everyone in general. You personally works too. Pretty much anybody here is easily smart enough to get confessions out of him. Perjury? A slug could get him to do that.

Now that I think about it, asking Trump a set of questions then asking him the same exact questions later on works great.

What does he mean "tried"? The insurers supported the repeal.

there are multiple fbi investigations and a special independent prosecutor looking into what a senior republican senator is calling a "criminal investigation" into the ScreaminAsian campaign. And to that i state positively that i, for sure, personally, didn't get my hands dirty with any of what you're accusing the campaign of. and i'd also like to add that i was only a part of that campaign for a very limited time.

(To be fair, there really would have been a base/funder revote if they couldn't pass anything. At least they can say they showed up for the attendance mark even though they got an F on the exam.)

Don't forget that they immediately threw a party on the white house lawn to talk about how great they are all the while fully knowing they had no idea what they just voted for.

Republicans are just looking out for the middle class

Quote:

One of the central parts of President Trump’s tax plan is to cut taxes on what are called “pass-through” businesses. Proponents pitch that as a big boost for middle-class owners of small businesses.

But a new analysis from the Tax Policy Center finds that aside from making Trump personally a lot richer, the pass-through provision would almost entirely benefit the wealthy

Quote:

With the broad income definition, three-quarters of the benefit would go to highest-income one percent of households, who make $700,000 or more. They’d get an average tax cut of about $76,000, or 4.8 percent of their after-tax income

By contrast, fewer than five percent of middle-income households would get a tax cut, averaging $370.

Wonder what today's bombshell is gonna be...

- Pee tape?

- Trump killed Seth Rich (lol, that would probably break /r/the_donald)
- Some more Flynn ISIS stuff?
- Something to implicate Pence?

Yeah, pretty much the same thing. At least it makes sense, though: "I'm a hero ho only broke laws to keep you safe." Kind of hard to do that when you're collecting a big check in the process.

Or maybe not given the today's right wing.

It's such a bad lie though. It would be like the Cubs bitching about beating the Indians in the World Series last year by saying "The only reason the Indians lost the World Series last year is because the American League let them win 3 games."

Like, it's not even a lie. It's a complete bull**** tangent off a lie.

Probably most incompetent. As far as "worst," it's really hard to top Nixon's shenannigans in Vietnam.

Most embarrassing for sure, but he might not have enough time to do all the horrible things many presidents have done.
