Donald is here to stay, now what? Cursing and swearing OK

Fake president’s fake tax cut not working. Some 70% not falling for the scam:

A CNN poll earlier this month found that only 21 percent of respondents believed they would be better off under the tax plan, while 37 percent believed they would be worse off. Another 36 percent thought they would not be affected much either way.

#fakenews lies don't matter, the proof will be in the paycheck in a few weeks time.

Not so. You won't find out till Jan 2019, when you can first file your 2018 tax form.

Bannon vs too liberal Kushners

Vanity Fair also reported Bannon considers Kushner an elitist with no political experience who is in over his head and is out of touch with Trump’s constituency.

“He doesn’t know anything about the hobbits or the deplorables,” Bannon said. “The railhead of all bad decisions is the same railhead: Javanka.”

He said it was Kushner who encouraged Trump to fire FBI director James Comey. “It’s the dumbest political decision in modern political history, bar none,” Bannon insisted, calling it a “self-inflicted wound of massive proportions.”

Bannon didn’t exactly gush about his old boss, either.

“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” he told writer Gabriel Sherman, and reportedly told a friend last month that he believes the president has “lost a step.” He joked to Vanity Fair that Trump is “like an 11-year-old child.”

LOL, nope.
Lower withholding deductions starts in a few weeks. Then every paycheck will be just a bit bigger.

Rich Blue State folks might get a surprise 2019 tax time though....

Nobody gets hit harder than the billionaires in California and New York. They can't deduct the millions they pay in State and property tax.

Which is over half the population. Not good for GOP elections in 2020.

LOL, guess you don't know how the Senate and House is proportioned. Remember how popular vote vs. electoral college went? Voter ID next round in the red states.

Gerrymandering being undone. No more GOP house members from ANY blue state.

LOL, nope. You know how Gerrymandering works, right? And who decides? And who has the majority in the Supreme Court?

Court case..... Not happening under Trump. They'll whine and cry through the judiciary process though. Supreme Court?

[Tero]

The 2018 election is going to play a role, but I have to agree: Trump is not going out without the Supreme Court involved. What happened with Nixon? Have to look it up.

He gonna shake things up! Drain the swamp!

Poor Americans, whining victims:
But only Trump would confront the threat of immigration, she said. “All these illegals in, and they’re putting us out. They don’t care about the Americans any more.”

The swamp will be big and beautiful and fantastic, and more toxic than ever. Winning!

'Let’s just pretend pesticides don’t harm wildlife'

It was only 12 months ago that Dow Chemical was facing double-barrel trouble regarding its brain-damaging, endangered species-killing pesticide, chlorpyrifos.

So compelling was the evidence that the highly toxic organophosphate caused permanent brain damage and learning disabilities in children, that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced in November 2016 that it would be banning use of the pesticide on crops.

Already, earlier in the year, the EPA had announced that in working with scientists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and National Marine Fisheries services it had found that chlorpyrifos killed or harmed 97 percent of the nation’s 1,800 protected plants and animals.

If you’re Dow, and you just donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, no worries. You simply ask the Pruitt-led pro-industry EPA to ignore the legally required biological evaluations that revealed the widespread off-target killing tendencies of one of your most popular products.

And as 2017 barrels to a close, by all signs the EPA is working hard to do just that.

Earlier this month the agency asked a judge to postpone by two years court-ordered deadlines for completing the damning biological opinions — evaluations that the EPA had initially claimed would be finalized more than six months ago.

And now, the pesticide giant that over the past six years has donated $11 million to congressional campaigns and political action committees, and spent an additional $75 million lobbying Congress, is looking to cash in its congressional chip as well.

A draft bill pushed by Dow that’s now floating around the halls of Congress would forbid the EPA from even assessing the harms pesticides pose to endangered species unless the maker of the pesticide requests those assessments.

The bill has yet to find sponsors willing to give the draft a home in either house of Congress. But in an era when Trump administration and Republican leaders in Congress have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to gut protections for not only endangered plants and animals but for clean air and water, it seems open season on Capitol Hill for granting industry’s every wish.

What a relief for the American people to be freed from those horribly repressive regulations. Winning, I say.
