Read this.
It's important.

Just went to a talk by a holocost survivor (actually kindertransport).
The parallels he drew between the nascent Nazi movement and Trump's rhetoric was troubling.
And this kind of talk was EXACTLY what Hitler demanded of his government when he came to power, a changing of the rules to make his decrees more readily adapted. In PRECISELY those words..."For the good of the Nation".
Truly uncanny.

No wall, no way

And for military spending:
"$2.5 billion contingent upon the Trump administration showing Congress a plan to defeat ISIS."

He has the best plan, so this shouldn't be an issue. :rofl:

Front Range, dude...
"He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War. He said, 'There's no reason for this...its too bad I AM DEAD, or maybe I could convince them Yankees to acquiesce to the deamnds of the Southanas..."

This guy tosses word salad better than Caribou Barbie...

Has the memory of the Reagan debacle faded enough for this once again to be considered a good idea? Also, why does the belief exist that the GDP can grow 4% annually to inifinitum? Perhaps my lack of education beyond basic economics is showing, but it seems unreasonable to think that things can grow grow grow all the time.
Even though Reagan trickle down economics has been proven a failure by numerous economists, die hard Republicans still think it worked.

The smart ones know that it doesn't work, they just don't care if it benefits them.

See Kansas as the perfect example of the failure of trickle down. A case study that we may get to see nationally. It will have some measureable benefits that some may see as good, such as a bump in the stock market, but in the long term 99% of the population will suffer.

The sad truth is a large portion of the country either don't recall it not working, or think it is somehow different this time and they don't want to hear it won't work.

Taxes = bad.
So then
Tax Cuts = Gooder

Your basic econ class is a lot more than some folks in the red states.

WTF is wrong with me...why was I such a desperate money grubbing gold digging cvnt? I could have banged better...but for less $$..."

I wonder if they share foundation with each other. And the Oompa Loompas. That Chernobyl-esque glow they've got is on point, perhaps it should be called nuclear warfare orange.

This is fucking hilarious:

If I didn't know better you'd think Trump had no idea what he was talking about!

Once again I tried Fox News to see if I could find a right biased opinion of the health care bill but alas, there was little there of substance.
