As Deficit Explodes, GOP Demands Emergency Tax Cut for the Rich
Because of course they do.
Can’t wait to vote for Warren in the Primary and hopefully the General election. Claw those ill gotten gains back.
P.S. realclearpolitics.com aggregate of polls says Warren is +2.4 over trump.
1,
To be fair, I think Inanimate Carbon Rod is polling +2.4 over Trump.*
Right about here is where Teh Dumbfuck dutifully responds to the pimply, beet-fueled Moldovan teens who yank his chain to tell us all how all polls that disfavor WhitePower are always wrong.
*Clinton’s margin of victory in the vote totals.
I think deep down I always suspected Rand Paul was an asshole.
@3 deep down? It’s right on the surface. Nothing more of an asshole than a Repuke that calls them selves a libertarian. A bunch of stiffs.
@3 I kinda comprehend why a neighbor might be tempted to go after him with a garden tool. Not condoning that, merely reflecting on human nature from a rabbit’s perspective.
3,
“SEND HER BACK”
“JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US!”
“COOK MY BURRITO, BITCH!”
“MICHELLE OBAMA HAS A DICK AND SHE MURDERED JOAN RIVERS TO COVER IT UP!”
Remind me again, what was so “deep down” about all that?
All Republicans are racist assholes. And it’s all right out in the open.

When asked about a Washington Post columnist “calling Mitch McConnell a Russian asset,” the president replied “I think the Washington Post is a Russian asset.”
Then he called Jeff Bezos a doodie head, uninvited him to his birthday party and tried to trade half a baloney sandwich for a reporter’s juice box.
Your WaPo headline du jour:
Trump makes unfounded claim The Washington Post is a ‘Russian asset’

All of this is just fine with Doctor Dumbfuck, because notwithstanding him being a doctor, he’s a dummy with his head up his ass. What a dumbfuck.
Behold the future of the GOP:
https://youtu.be/Tg8PYhy10yg
Toxoplasmosis.
In a not-so-distant future your membership into the GOP will require a DNA test for “Europeanness”, along with a mandatory intravenous injection of Toxoplasma gondii derived from Putin’s litter box.
@ 8
Then he
called Jeff Bezos a doodie headbroke up Amazon, Google, and was re-elected in 2020.Cz-252, you’re straying into “absolute lock” territory. Again.
Dismissing Trump’s chances got you, what, the last time you did it?
Looks to the rest of us like the territory @8 is straying into is the “you voted for an childish imbecile” kind.
Relax. “Many people” are saying that president peepee couldn’t have shared midwestern polling data to help Putin with the hacking because he was so pre-occupied with leading the 911 First Responders.
Very, very stupid people. 63 million very, very stupid people.
“63 million very, very stupid people”
And one dumbfuck.
@12 – You’re wasting your time again.
@15 You’re wasting your time again.
Just spitballin’ but raise your hand if you think if pivoting to monopoly break ups and highly regulated industry will increase GOP voter turnout.
Okay, just one of you?
Dumbfuck gotta Dumbfuck.
The break up of a AT&T was a ten year process from hearings to consent decree to completion.
Donald is going to break up Amazon (Fortune Magazine #2 most admired
Company by American Consumers) in the next 16 months.
“I was in this ultra liberal coffee shop and all the hipsters were saying they would vote for Donald if he made it so Amazon couldn’t prime deliver stuff the same day but they won’t talk about it when conservatives are around.” -Dumbfuck
Meanwhile, a Mississippi militia, upset about his employment at the local WalMart, shot and killed two and wounded a police officer.
Wonder if more than 11,000 people are directly or indirectly affected by GM shutting down their 78 year old transmission plant this week? The psychological aspect of losing a legacy employer in a community can be greater than the actual economic loss.
No worries though. Lots of manufacturing jobs in Michigan on Indeed.com from $19,000 – $28,000/year. What’s a pay cut when Donald was going to save your job.
15,
For once I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Teh Dumbfuck is wasting his time. Being completely fucking wrong is always a total waste of time. And as we can all clearly see, in this instance Teh Dumbfuck is completely fucking wrong.
@8 was in no way mocking your beloved peepee president’s chances to win re-election. I know of few Democratic voters who are willing to do so. To be honest, and in this case I don’t mind doing so, most of us are quite scared and very motivated by how we regard his chances for re-election.
For once, and happily so, it seems it is closeted, pseudo-intellectual GOP “never-Trumpers” who are willfully underestimating president peepee’s prospects for re-election.
It’s in their interest to do so.
Just as it is in yours, and Teh Dumbfuck’s interest to pretend that you did not vote for him in 2016, and that you are not preparing to vote for him in 2020. Of course you did.
Of course you will.
It’s who you are now.
Putin’s little footsoldiers. Heh. Remind you of anybody we know, Doctor? Uh-huh. That’s right. Except you had your wits about you. You knew what you were doing.
“…we continue to leave ourselves vulnerable, almost deliberately so. Bear in mind that the Russian attack required unwitting footsoldiers on the ground inside the United States. Every voter who shared a dubious meme or changed his or her vote because of the Russian bombardment of Facebook with bogus ads, paid for in rubles, unknowingly volunteered to become combatants for the enemy.”

So how many bills did Moscow Mitch block to prevent America from defending ourselves? One? Two? Seven?
“Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset.”

So are you.
Live in shame.
As in the lead up to 2018, an unprecedented number of WhitePower incumbents are hitting the silk:
https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900081657/republican-utah-rep-rob-bishop-wont-seek-2020-reelection.html
Recall that throughout 2017 the resident troll insisted that these retirements were irrelevant, since Moscow Mitch had a secret plant to turn college educated suburban white women against the Durty Hippies:
Tank-full-‘o-gas and BeerBong McDateRape.
Pure genius, it was.
This time it may be worse. There is no secret plan, aside from “WHITE POWER!” Which leaves most GOP House members facing the concession that they will be spending all their weekends and three of five evenings for the next fifteen months begging for money in order to earn two more years out of the majority, maintaining two households with no pay raise, shitty offices and committee rooms, no access to the schedule, and no ability to trade legislation with industry lobbyists.
And open seat party primaries well stocked with candidates such as this have a history of reducing GOP turnout in general elections that follow.

The DJIA had a down day today – lackluster earnings and no happy jerk off on trade, right before the big rate cut …who they kidding, they can’t have up days before the big rise…you can’t over inflate an already over inflated fucking pig.
“Wealthy parents in Illinois are giving up legal guardianship of their children in order to ‘scam’ universities into qualifying them for need-based financial aid …. ProPublica said it found dozens of parents, many of whom are doctors and lawyers, exploiting a legal loophole to save money at the expense of low-income students. … In the last years of high school, parents give up guardianship of their children to family members or friends. This allows the students to declare financial independence, so when they apply for college, their financial needs are judged without consideration of the parents’ income.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Taking from the poor and giving to themselves is what rich people — especially rich Republicans — do. Hell, it’s how they got rich in the first place. And some wonder why many people despise the rich.
@13 Not everyone can be in the smart half of the bell curve, or you wouldn’t have a bell curve.
@18 “I was in this ultra liberal coffee shop …,” i.e., anyplace the customers don’t lean their AR-15s against the wall.
@19 ” … a Mississippi militia … shot and … wounded a police officer”
Where’s Doctor Dumbfuck’s outrage? Let me guess, his outrage over how police officers are treated is selective, depending on who’s doing the treating …
@24 A rate cut will be a mistake, and won’t produce the desired results, but what does from this administration?
Nothing good happens when a nervous militia meets a trigger-happy cop.

Yeah yeah yeah, early poll one poll could be an outlier lots of undecideds and Texas will eventually be a blue state because demographics but I don’t think so in 2020 but…
University of Texas poll has Donald topping out at 39% against ANY Democrat polled individually. The only one he’s ahead of is Pete and if the election were held today would lose 49-37 against Native Son Beto.
Self identified slight to very conservatives 39.1% of sample
Slight to very liberal 26.5%
Moderates 34.4%
Asked if they’d vote for Donald against Pocahontas who wants to make you work a collective farm and take your credit cards away and kill the free competitive internet 38% said yeah, y’all..
Asked if they’d vote for Donald against the Old Socialist who wants Medicare death panels and throw all the middle class kids out of college so it can be free for the poors 37% said yup!
Asked if they’d vote for Donald over the uppity negress who wants to take you out and kill you so the descendants of slaves can move into your McMansion because it’s only fair….39% said Yeeehaw Donnie!
39% for a sitting GOP President in Texas is, well let’s face it, a disaster for the GOP. If you can’t on any given day get 45ish% of TEXANS to enthusiastically pick the GOP President over even The Lord Jesus D-KingdomOfHeaven himself…..that’s deep deep trouble. Not even holding 100% of identified conservatives against some opponents? Holy shit that’s bad.
Mexico is PAYING FOR IT!
Lots of people are saying it.
Everybody knows it.
You can believe me.
MAGA!!!!
25. Crooks. Hope tbey get jail time.
33,
Probably legal.
Probably should not be legal.
But since it generally favors the affluent at the expense of the poor and working classes, it wiill probably remain “very legal, and very cool”.
