This place is now more toxic than Chernobyl It never used to be this bad pre-election. What changed?

If congress agrees to cut spending,it is not a bad idea really.

I don't think creating new jobs will be problematic. More money for business means more money to invest even if they decide not to invest and save it, banks can give out more loans to small businesses.

I don't understand this idea of extra profit trickling down to the workers. Employees are not taking any risks. They get paid even if the business is not making money and it is voluntary. You can either renegotiate your wages or find someone else that will pay more.

That's rather harsh considering your party is not pro-union but let's not get into a battld of which party knows best. I'll just say it's been tried before and it's failed twice in the past 3 decades. Maybe this time, it'll work, I hope Congress can make compromise on both sides of the aisle.

What will zohariel and scully now that america and isreal are just strolling in and out of Syria as they like. We all no all those junks are overated because they have not been tested in real war theater.

Israel has been crushing the skies of Syria long before Russia came into the picture. The IAF ain't scared of Russia's junk S-400 and Putin knows not to test Israel.

So what do you think?

He's cutting the 7 tax brackets to 3. His plan would cut Corporate tax by nearly 50%, since it is just a draft, I look forward to the details, I see lots of loopholes here, some businesses can get creative and decide to pay on their earnings instead of individual income. He's reducing individual income tax for married couples who make half a million, he wants to eliminate investment income and estate tax.

While I think, some of his plans can help make filing returns much easier and may reduce the tax burden on small businesses but it's crafted from the same Raegan playbook, in the long run will increase the deficit by $3-10trillion. If his draft is finalized and passed as it is, creating new jobs will be problematic, pay increase may be stagnant cause time and again when companies make huge money from tax cuts it don't trickle down to the workers.

45 rolls out Tax reforms.

Why hasn't this been taken down? What the hell is going on here?

LordReed:
Hahaha, here it comes. ExxonMobil has asked for a waiver from the Russian sanctions.

They couldn't even wait 100 days to prove everyone right.

Lucasbalo:
Do not worry, 2018 is around the corner and they will find out that Americans are waking up to tramp as a scam artist. Kansas and Georgia is just the beginning of the woes the Republicons will face.

They are scared but won't admit. We went from losing by 30% to losing by 5.7% in Kansas. We went from getting 21% of the votes to 48% against 17 republican contenders.

We may not win but it's clear that the GOP stands to lose big in 2018. They gerrymandered districts to their advantages but the constituents are sick of their facade and are woke from the "Vote Republican only" syndrome they've had for decades.

Lucasbalo:
Jason Chaffez is one of the Republicon bogey man. You saw how he was foaming in the mouth with Hillary E mail scandal and now he couldn't do jack about Russiagate . Typical Republicon hypocrisy. Good riddance to him. Their golden boy O'Reilly, another racist and Misorgynist in the fold like trump is gone too. Good riddance to him and some more like Hannity, and co in the journey of bigotry will soon fall too.

Am glad he's gone. Right wing talking heads as Auntie Maxine Waters calls them are crumbling like domino.

Missy89:


GOP won the popular vote last nite.

You mean 17 candidates shared 100k votes with the top republican Karen Handel at 37k votes.

93k voted for Ossof. How the hell do you make such comparison??

In an election of 200k voters, 93k voted for 1 person, 100k split votes between 17 others

Missy89:


What heat?


If he can't win with 11 GOP candidates on the ballot ( splitting the votes ) and 9 million funding, You really think he can win in June? There is nothing like "almost won" in politics. Handel didn't even spend 500k. Keep dreaming.

Your spin is so glorious you fail to see how ridiculous y'all sound trying to shelve Ossof off as a non-threat.

Let me paint a better picture. Imagine a House seat in a district that covers New York City in NY. A blue district that hasn't gone red in 30 years. Let's say this seat was won by 60% and the republicans never getting beyond 21% of the votes in the history of that district.

Picture November of 2016, the district went blue as always and the republican candidate got just 21% of the votes as they've done in 30 years. Somehow this representative is appointed by the President. A special election is called.

Somehow Democrats couldn't even unite behind a candidate and had to have 17 run against a republican who got 48% of the votes in the first round and the remaining 17 democrats share 51% of the votes with the top democrat candidate clinging to 21% out of the 51%.

Also let's not forget Georgia's 6th District has been rigged by republicans, they've drawn the district to disadvantage of black democratic voters.

Let's picture our imaginary Blue district has been drawn by democrats to alienate redneck conservatives. Do you get the picture.

Ossof may not win in June but's it's sure safe gerrymandered districts are now competitive enough for the GOP to call on the president to attack the democratic challenger without backing 1 out of the 17 republicans. Ossof is a threat and you know it. Trump pulled off wins in Hillary's Blue Walls and somehow you guys think it's impossible for Ossof to win the 6th. If I was the one dreaming during the presidential election, I think you are the one drunk not to acknowledge we have a viable shot at winning this.

obixcel:
Just like how Hillary outspent Trump and Lost

She had 3million more votes. Unfortunately for your sad logic, House races are not determined by the Electoral College It's the popular vote

Rumors have it Jason Chaffetz is being blackmailed by Russia against investigating Trump so he decides not to seek re-election. Dr Katherine Allen already outraised him, another red seat that would have been competitive in 2018.

The Hill reports his campaign has registered 2 domains, 1 suggests a run for president

Lucasbalo:
I am confident that Ossof will win in June but it's gonna be a tough race no doubt. 6 is changing a lot with a lots of educated people moving in around Marrieta and it's Suburban area. We have to help out Ossof financially since it's gonna be one expensive campaign.

I don't care how much we have to spend on all these seats. Republican -1 in the House and Senate is all am after.

Missy89:


Lol.

If he can't win with 17 republican candidates, how can he win when the party unites against him? He spent more money than all the republicans combined( over 8 million outside money).

Keep deceiving your self.

Your party couldn't unite behind 1 candidate to take him on. Our Clown in Chief spent all day lying and attacking him. The NRA ran negative ads against him and even had to pull an ad that was full of lies.

Newsflash, we didn't get to 51% but we came close than we've ever done in 30 years and outperformed 17 republican candidates in a republican district that's been easily won by 40% over the past 3 decades. Feeling the heat yet?

Lucasbalo:
I say a big Amen to that. We need to send a message to Republicons that Americans are angry.

We are heading for a run off. Trump spent the whole day attacking Ossof online that shows how worried republicans are. Seats they win by huge margins in gerrymandered districts are now highly competitive.

Ossof took 48% of the votes in a field of 17 republican candidates. The real fight is in June and I hope we get that seat. That would send a message to the GOP no matter the negative ads, big money or lies we won't back down.

Praying for Ossof to get above 50% of the votes today. He's up against 11 republicans. He needs all the votes he can get.

We may not have won Kansas special election but something is clear, the Blue Wave is slowly coming back. In one of the reddest districts, we lost by 5.7% compared to over 30% in November, Trump won this district by 27%. We are back to competing at all levels.

All hopes on Jon Ossof now.

Missy89:


Account not on twitter

It is. @RogueLeaks, check again.

Missy89:


The point of the whole attack is a warning to Assad. The DoD even said : military planners took precautions to minimize risk to Russian or Syrian personnel at the airfield.

I dont think the idea was to destroy the whole area or kill troops. The most important thing is that for the first time, Assad was attacked directly by the US. I heard from a VERY reliable source that the S400 failed because appleyard forgot to give the Syrians the password of the Magrav technology

We could have sent 10 missiles in place of 56 to send a message. We wasted $96million on sending a message. We could have saved our powered for another day it all we had to do was send a message.

Am sure Zoharariel and Appleyard are hard at work looking for the missing Zagrev password. I wonder why our bathtubs as he calls them could work a few miles from Russian artilery and vessels. Zoharariel, don't worry Mad dog Mattie got more Tomahawks to rain down on your boss Putin should he cross the line on Syria.

This is not Fake News. This is real. A rogue account operated by someone in the White House tweeted this in February.

I have a million questions.

Missy89:


Came out of the heat by saying it twice? That dude is not even American. A fake 400 lbs troll hiding from ICE in Baltimore

Missy you know a lot of things Don't add up about this strike on Syria. As much as I want to see Assad taken out but I fear we are being duped into a lie here.

The man who condemns others for announcing attacks informed the Russians who informed the Syrians America would bomb them. Images from the airbase today shows little damage to the runways, only two hangars were hit, 23 out of 56 missiles hit their targets?? Aircrafts took off from the same airbase some hours ago

The S-400 is said to be active in Syria and couldn't bring down a low flying missile Something doesn't add up

Missy89:


I don't understand your rant. Your party changed the rules to push their nominees in. The other side is doing the same and you are crying.

If a republican lame duck president nominate a judge for scotus and the dems have the senate they will do the same thing. If you don't believe tha you are delusional.

This delusion is the same reason Hilary lost the election. There are at least 2 judges over 80 and if your party refuse to compromise on Gorsuch, a hardline conservative will get a seat easily if another seat is vacant. Keep wailing

Is there any rule or law anywhere that says a President can't fill a vacant SCOTUS seat in the last year of his presidency or an election year as your party claims?

Absolutely not, for political reasons, your party refused to even give a very qualified Moderate Justice a hearing. They could have at least done that then said goodbye, at least when the committee votes him down, the party could have easily said they were unsatisfied with his answers and demand a new nominee.

No, your party outrightly said No and turned the Supreme Court of the United States into a partisan committee to be controlled by republicans.

Accept that the GOP is destroying America with their battle for ideological dominance on the nation's highest court.

Lucasbalo:
Do not worry Buddy, our Clown in Chief has bitten more than he can chew with the American Press and American people. The Russiagate scandal is deepening and a lots of heads are gonna roll and the final casualty would be Mr Clueless himself.

Remember when republicans said Hillary's presidency would come with lots of scandals from day one

Had she won, we know the scandals would have been hot air trumped up issues by a republican majority to score political points and weaken her approval ratings. Here we go not even 100 days yet but Donald's presidency has had a scandal for every week he's been in office most from his tremendous lying, Alternative facts and dirty shady dealings.

Missy89:


Let me guess, you have no problem when the democrats changed the rules during Obama's presidency right?

Could you lift your hands and slap yourself. It appears your brain needs a manual hand reset.

Do I need to remind you that your Obstructionist Do nothing Party filibustered 79 times blocking Obama's federal judgeship nominees. 79 times. Harry Reid got tired of the Obstruction and changed the rules after being frustrated by Republicans being partisan for no good reason stopping a smooth process of confirming judges.

Republicans refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing or bring him to a up or down vote. Mitch McConnell said his proudest moment was when he told Obama he won't fill that seat.

You either have dementia at this point that you don't to see your party has been destroying the pillars holding the Senate and American democracy together through partisanship that has not produced any result for the American people.

The Post has a bombshell report of Blackwater creating a back channel for Russian communications on behalf of Trump.

"Russia if you're listening, I hope you find the 33,000 emails that are missing"- Trump last year. Newsflash for our Twitler in Chief:

"Press if you're listening, we hope you continue to piece together the Russian collusion and interference"- The American people.

Everything is failed with our government right now. The Senate is being destroyed through partisanship, a deep discord among our Senators puts the nation on life support. With the filibuster for Neil and a threat of rule change from Mitch, the basic functions of American legislature is corrupted and destroyed thanks largely to republicans and guess what, they get away with it cause uninformed American voters keep putting them back in power.

The battle for the Supreme Court has begun and already ended at the same time.

Senate Intelligence Committee rejects immunity deal for Mike Flynn.

schwarzkopf:
Trouble sleep yanga wake it... In the black president voice!!! Gen Flynn wanna testify in exchange for immunity.. so people in Washington are def gonna have dysentery tonight.

Let me quote republicans on Hillary's private email server when two of her staffers who set up the email server got immunity before they testify before the House. In this case their only criminality was setting up a private email server for the Secretary which by facts isn't illegal but unethical.

Republicans asked, "Why are they getting immunity deals if they didn't do anything wrong?. Flynn is the key to bringing Trump down, he keeps giving.

Now here she quickly changed her position and went back to her 2008 tax proposal, which reminds me of how 2 faced she was, Obama had said, ''she'll say anything to get elected''. So there it is.

Why do I even bother with you for bleeps sake

This was debunked during the campaign and the transcripts of her speech clearly stated "We aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class".

Read her positions:
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/a-fair-tax-system/

Restore basic fairness to our tax code.

Hillary will implement a “fair share surcharge” on multi-millionaires and billionaires and fight for measures like the Buffett Rule to ensure the wealthiest Americans do not pay a lower tax rate than hardworking middle-class families.

She’ll close loopholes that create a private tax system for the most fortunate, and she’ll ensure multi-million-dollar estates are paying their fair share of taxes. Read the fact sheet.

Close corporate and Wall Street tax loopholes and invest in America.

Hillary will close tax loopholes like inversions that reward companies for shifting profits and jobs overseas. She will charge an “exit tax” for companies leaving the U.S. to settle up on their untaxed foreign earnings.

She will close tax loopholes that let Wall Street money managers pay lower rates than some middle-class families. And she’ll reward businesses that invest in good-paying jobs here in the United States. Read the fact sheet.

Simplify and cut taxes for small businesses so they can hire and grow.

The smallest businesses, with one to five employees, spend 150 hours and $1,100 per employee on federal tax compliance. That’s more than 20 times higher than the average for far larger firms. We’ve got to fix that.

Provide tax relief to working families from the rising costs they face.

For too many years, middle-class families have been squeezed by rising costs for everything from child care to health care to affording college.

Hillary will offer relief from these rising costs, including tax relief for Americans facing excessive out-of-pocket health care costs and for those caring for an ill or elderly family member.

Pay for ambitious investments in a fiscally responsible way.

Hillary believes that we can afford to pay for ambitious, progressive investments in good-paying jobs, debt-free college, and other measures to strengthen growth, broaden opportunity, and reduce inequality.

Hillary will use the proceeds from ensuring the wealthiest and the largest corporations pay their fair share to pay for these investments without adding to the debt.

obixcel:
And Hillary wanted to increase taxes for the middle-class and they were applauding?

Did infowars, Breitbart or Drudge feed you this?

Where'd you pull this from?

My liberal self winks , but also, I think the fine is harsh.

To anyone who has a problem with why this is even a case. Something for you to note.

In a country where all men and women are equal before the law and enjoy the same rights and benefits. It is abhorrent before the law as a service provider to refuse your services to a person or set of persons based on religion, race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Why? The law doesn't give preference to any class of person in a society and it sets a awful precedence when a person refuses services based on sexual identity because these bakers identify as heterosexuals and would not want to be in a situation where a gay service provider in fashion for example refuses service based on their identity as heterosexuals. That is discrimination and applies both ways.

Without a gun pointed to your head, no unruly behavior in your store, with the customer in a capacity to make the transaction without debt, it is inexcusable to restrict your service to the public only to a group.
