The scariest thing about Trump, is the degree of his depraved mental illness and the unwillingness of his supporters to comprehend, or even acknowledge it. This is how Hitlers come to power. So far, most Americans are not buying it. However, I'm currently on a trip around the US and it's very depressing to see how much Fox media has become normalized and ingrained in the minds of much of the US through their sports coverage and local TV programing. As a result, many Americans are more inclined to accept "FOX NEWS" as mainstream, factual news.
It's also scary to lsiten to the Talking Heads (both left and right) on the so called "mainstream media" pretend that somehow this man can ever be reasoned with.
THE MAN IS CRAZY!!!!!! It's as simple as that.
Well we already know who will pick up the tab for polluted water and related health issues? As they say, privatize the profits and then socialize the losses.
I've got a real bad feeling none of this is going to end pretty. Keep your eye on Eastern Europe....lots of bad info coming out of there. I know Putin is a marked man.
The entire the world is horrified by all this extreme right-wing madness.
Rump's genicide. Killing those who work for the wealthy. There is a polluted river where I live. Locals know better than to eat carp and other more prone to polution species. There have been imported groups of Russian, Mexican, Thai and Polish that show up fishing for anything, but mostly carp and they eat them. I know that the Mexican families get cancer. One thing I know for sure is these ethnic groups disappear after a couple of years. With Rumpty Dumpty at the wheel, they will die much faster. I use bottle water for everything.

It appears the corrupt republicans intend to pass the tax cut bill one point at a time if necessary!
I can only see this as further proof trump and the republicans mean to kill off billions of people, not just americans!
Thom,
There's a simple rule you can use to gauge when open markets or public systems should be used. And it goes like this:
If there's a negative anywhere in the calculation of profit, expense or impact of the affected service provider or beneficiary -- then the public sector should be used.

Interesting listening to the end of your show today when you were being challenged by a listener asking very critical questions about Medicare and Medicaid. He was spot on and his questions are the very ones perplexing the medical field. You did a nice job deflecting his question about the doctors, nurses, and others in the medical field being willing to work more hours for less pay though.
If you had your back surgery while you were covered by Medicare, your delays and attempts by doctors to put off surgery had nothing to do with the physicians in DC, it was the plain fact they have to follow Medicare guidelines before they resort to surgery. There are government mandated tests and an attempt to rehabilitate before surgeons are able to be covered for a procedure under Medicare. You did have the option to dig into your wallet and bypass all that but apparently you opted to wait and save the money.
If you are on Medicare or Medicaid and have a complaint with the US medical system, don't blame the doctors or hospitals, blame the regulations and thank obamacare.
I am a professional scientist and I would say that a climatologist job is to analyse environment patterns to deliver a considerate of the conditions of a specific area. I provide academic writing service and I’m connected with Assignment Help agency in the UK and I am enjoying my life.
To Kend, our resident apologist for the oligarchy : Yes. Specifically it's called the "Earned Hardon Tax Relief Bonus For Those Filthy Rich Enough To Note a Brief Spike In Their Net Worth But for Whom It Will Have No Appreciable Impact On Lifestyle" plan. Any other questions?"
SEC. 119. REPEAL OF NET INVESTMENT TAX.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by striking chapter 2A.
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendment made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2016.
Link->Chapter 2a of Internal Revenue Code
Also see:
SEC. 117. REPEAL OF MEDICARE TAX INCREASE.
This drops the Hospital Insurance income tax from 2.9% to 1.45% in 2022
They also eliminate the tanning tax of 10% which might just save Trump a bundle.
Can anyone tell me specifically what tax cuts for the rich are in the new plan.
Oh what to do? Piss off the Kroch brothers, or their constituents that will later vote the repubs out of office after they smell the coffee? Lets see the score once again. Repubs 3, hate Repubs 10. Votes keep their evil asses in office. Kroch bros pay Repubs money in order to win an election. Money, or voting trailer trash Rumptards with a score of (3)? The other alternative is invite the Demos into negotiations. But I do hope we can impeach the Orange Faced Baffoon before a vote.
Yep..... 3 outta 10. The ones running this coop have bunkers and are just sitting back waiting for the other 7 out of 10 of us to have had enough so he can declair "martial law" so they can start picking us off. Not sorry to say this; we better get ready for that. Bonfires and pitchforks won't be enough!
Can you believe there are still three out of ten citizens who approve of Crooked Donny?
Yep, even after the looming horror of the Trumpcareless Plan, three out of ten citizens must still be glued to the foxaganda network.
I'm actually more horrified by how easy it is to brainwash that many millions than the threat of Trump's -could -care- less, for profit health insurance.
BTW: Russia has provided all citizens the right to free healthcare since 1996. What's that tell you about the greed of our Fascists?
I sincerely hope the Republicans manage to pass their draconian bill ASAP. With the public exposure this debacle has received, and will continue to receive, even the dumbest of the Great Unwashed will start to suspect how they've been hosed. and the sooner the better as the 2018 midterms are fast approaching. I love the thought of the size of the bullets these assholes must be sweating over this! These guys have created quite a nasty little situation for themselves, no? I live for the day Mitch is cast down from his high perch. The only thing I hope for more is the day that bastard, Dick Cheney's pacemaker battery shorts out.
It is not being mean it is being GREEDY! They want the Koch payday!
the more correct question is: How can any human possibly defend it?
Oh dear. If the rich don't get their big tax cuts soon, it's unlikely that you will see the flood of new jobs, and manufacturing plants spring up all across America.
Of course it will pass. Same thing happened in the house and it passed it. Just a matter of McConnell bringing his other people in line promising them something or making changes to it so it's a lot worse.
Of course McConnell wil push the cuts to Medicade out past the 2020 elections because he is a coward. A coward that has plenty of company.
I hope right wing donars really do stop donating.
A new catchphrase: Make America grate
its teeth again.
