Just how out of touch and full of crap are Republicans? Well, according to Ronna McDaniel, chairperson of the Republican National Committee, the vast majority of Americans are rolling in the dough and make well over $400,000 a year. McDaniel tweeted out a video recently from a right-wing media group which falsely claimed that under […]
Despite the blockbuster report from the New York Times that former National Security Adviser John Bolton asserts in his soon-to-be released book that President Donald Trump did indeed withhold military aid to Ukraine unless they agreed to announce investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, the GOP-controlled Senate is set to […]
Donald Trump campaigned as the candidate of “law and order,” and catered shamelessly to police officers and other first responders. But a section of the tax scam bill he just signed proves that he and the Republican party truly are liars and hypocrites. The section of the bill in question allows wealthy corporate CEOs can […]
Even though it took him nearly a year, Donald Trump finally managed to get a bill through Congress this week. The infamous tax scam bill which will drastically cut tax rates for the ultra-rich and corporations while doing virtually nothing for anyone else is now law, and the president is eager to pat himself on the back.

You’d think Donald Trump would be delighted that he finally managed to pass a piece of legislation — a massive tax cut for the richest 1 percent of Americans — but he isn’t. See, Donnie needs to be praised at all times, and since most Americans don’t care about his tax bill, he’s very angry, […]
As a rule, when Congress writes and passes a piece of legislation, they try to work out any possible problems with the bill before they actually pass it.

For some strange reason, President Trump and members of his administration seem to have a bizarre need to take whatever happens to be wandering through their normally empty brains and splatter it all over social media. Twitter, of course, is Trump’s favorite medium, probably because it’s limited to 140 characters and that’s about as long […]
Instead of cutting taxes on the wealthy in this country, think about what might happen if we did the opposite and raised taxes on them instead. That’s reportedly what White House adviser Steve Bannon advocated recently, arguing that such a move would be a “potent populist idea.” But to hear anti-tax activist Grover Norquist tell […]
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin presented the Trump administration’s “tax reform” plan, even though there’s no reform, only more trickle down voodoo economics calling for massive tax cuts for business and the rich. Yeah, because that worked so well in the past. The Trump tax plan (a one-page bullet-point sheet) was the subject of […]
These are strange times we live in, my friends. How strange? Strange enough that even Fox News is now admitting the proposed tax plans of the 2016 GOP candidates would add trillions to the national debt. Yeah, I know: Pretty soon cats and dogs will be getting along and living in perfect harmony worldwide. On […]
