Republicans propose using sales tax money for new tax cuts

Republicans propose using sales tax money for new tax cuts

June 29… JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A U.S. Supreme Court ruling making it easier to collect online sales taxes could yield billions of dollars for state and local governments — if they decide to keep it.

Rather than spend the windfall on schools, prisons or other government services, some Republican governors and lawmakers are proposing to give it away in the form of tax cuts.

Dollars to croissants, it will go mostly to millionaires and billionaires again… who so desperately need it, again.

Trump is a baldfaced liar

by Colbert I. King
22 June

In all my years, I have never seen anything quite like this: a U.S. president who lies and demonizes at the drop of a hat. I don’t just mean President Trump makes statements that tend to be inaccurate or misleading or that he exaggerates, equivocates and, at times, shades the truth.

No, this president repeatedly makes declarations that are flat-out at variance with established facts; assertions that on their face cannot be true.

Is Trump’s EO almost the same as Obama’s?

Found this comment from a Trump sycphant:

“Here's something interesting: The Executive Order Trump signed today does nothing more than delete one sentence from an EO Obama issued in 2012.”

True/False?

Migrant families could be kept together.

There is recent precedent.

“The shelter was last used in 2016 when a surge of Central Americans — migrant children and families — were housed here.”

Donald is just using the children as hostages for his own agenda and cruelty.

Even some prisons allow mothers to keep their newborns as they grow.
