bill and they are going to react.

Trumpers or deplorables NEVER act out of patriotism or to do the right thing, EVER, but when they find out they are being bamboozled they will react.

to help people they dont like but most of all they hate paying taxes at all, let alone now they have to pay MORE.

You can count on a con to operate from a position of greed even above the position of racism, I think

God only knows, I know.


I have said the opposite a million times, now that I think of it.

admin. and I said that I wished tRUMP would have a heart attack ASAP, or a stroke. I have never in my life wished that on anyone, but I am so ready to be rid of this man. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th choices aren't better, but at least they are not as nauseating.

We and millions of others would likely be physically safer, and, yes, we should it for that reason alone.

But there's a huge cost to that. With President Pence, President Ryan, or President Orrin Hatch, the transfer of our nation's wealth and power gets revved up to earth-shaking jet engine levels. Yes, they've used him well, considering, but Trump's yoooge incompetence has also seriously sabotaged their brand-new plutocracy's schemes.

Hopefully, a critical percentage of those who were fooled into betraying their nation, their avowed goals, and themselves and those they love will be wiser.

Vote Democrat for government of, by and for the people.

.... between the golfing, the TV, his stupidity (unable to understand security briefings for Christ's sake) and his vacations, he's actually away from the levers of power quite a bit. We should appreciate how valuable that is to our side.

Believe me, a President Pence would be rising up at 4 AM every day and skipping the fucking cable news horseshit in his slobbering zeal to punish and target gay people, atheists, POC, females, etc.

I shudder to think how much more damage Trump would be doing if he were 20 years younger and possessed the stamina to put in a 14 or 16 hour workday.

... left to his own devices Trump wouldn't be doing jack-shit other than tweeting how mean someone is or how great he is.

This is why I scoff at those who say now that the GOP got their tax bill signed they can dump Trump. No, they can USE Trump right where he is by getting the rest of their shit through and if all else fails when everything blows up they can whine it was Trump's fault since he wasn't conservative enough or whatever.

I will say that being the arrogant man-baby he is, if Trump even THINKS someone else is calling the shots not him, I'm sure he'd pitch a fit. Which is why I bet they have to cuddle up to him and tell him he's too brilliant to waste his time on the boring shit they're doing; go play golf or have a Big Mac and take a break or some such drivel.

"And oh, sign whatever we want."
