And I think nearly every single liberal, heck probably many moderates too, would be ill at the thought of "President Pence" and it's absolutely no sunny days ahead...Pence is a terrible human being (I am OK saying that) and total loon. However I'd argue Trump has abandoned his "hit or miss" history and seems to have gone pedal to the metal hardline Republican. He has stuck to his hardline social conservative rhetoric, just yesterday he put out his reversal of the Obama era pro transgender bathroom rules, and before that plans to go ahead with deportation of certain undocumented workers. And economically...they love his massive tax cuts and slashing of regulations, but he also has appointed an extremely anti government believer (Mick Mulvaney) as budget officer, an opponent of public ed, and has supported Heritage Foundation budgets and hiring freezes. As always, who knows if any of this is what he believes, or if he cares. But I think Trump is just as lock step as Pence. Trump is a blank slate (except for on immigration and Russia) to be used by whomever.

Speaking of massive tax cuts....
The latest result from Sam Brownback's "live experiment" are in: It continues to be a failure. So much so much of his party has accepted it. So Brownback cut taxes for the wealthy and many businesses in Kansas, claiming it would spur on growth. This never happened, just leaving them with a huge deficit, which he tried to close with drastic cuts to education and raising taxes that fell hardest on the middle down. Guess all this still wasn't enough...the state legislature (dominated by conservative Republicans) passed a bill repealing his tax cuts  Which he vetoed...and the legislature fell 3 votes short of overriding. http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article134334184.html As this article says, he's off to spend the rest of the week in DC while the state now has to grapple with a new way to close their $1 billion gap. Class warfare exists, it's waged by the top on all the rest of us! And Brownback....what a fiscally irresponsible a****le!

this is the most alarming statement I have so far heard from someone of the Trump administration
http://tinyurl.com/z437vz6 this should ring every alarm bell in any person who believes in democracy. Bannon openly declares that the Trump administration wants to "deconstruct an outdated system of governance". this is extremely similar to Nazi rhetoric of the Weimar republic. "the womb is fertile still from which that crawled" (Bertolt Brecht) |

ehhh... powerful forces will make sure that never happens of course. Emperor Trump already discovered the judiciary as a roadblock to ruling this country by his dictacts (umm executive orders) rather than governing through actual legislation.. pray he doesn't discover just much the military really loathes him, especially the top brass, and tries to push them into actions they think go against our core values. On that note... about spit my iced tea on the monitor when I read of Trump's 'miliary actions' against the undocumented residents here. Oh boy.. someone get that man a book on the law before he gets himself impeached |

Friede and I just watched today's Donald Trump CPAC speech live. we believe he could have said whatever he wanted, and they would have cheered him. most of the time he did not really say anything, he just repeated his usual catch phrases.
Frede actually said the speech reminded her of the infamous Sportpalast speech of Joseph Goebbels in which he asked the German people if they wanted total war Edited by BaldJean - February 24 2017 at 19:01 |

"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1787 "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington, 1783 Still don't believe we have the makings of a corporate dictatorship? How about Steve Bannon, the resident drunken fascist in the White House (who, by the way, makes Dick Cheney look like Lincoln emancipating the slaves), said, "if you look at these Cabinet appointees, they were selected for a reason, and that is the deconstruction." This administration is intent on destroying the Republic -- its freedoms, its environment and its people, starting with the easiest marks, the immigrants, then other religions and then people who don't "fit in" socially (like the LGBTQ folks). It is already happening (and I would suggest reading William Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" to see the parallels with Nazism -- in such a way did they start). Their interests are not constitutional. Their goals are not to better America. These people are full of sh*t. They are dangerous. They need to go. |
