Damn The Voters

Submitted by ub on

Today on Capitol Hill is all about Damn The Voters, full speed ahead. Tax breaks for the rich or for the middle class are the question of the day? This is the first cut for corporations for corporations.

GOP leaders are expected to vote on their tax bill despite heavy opposition. Members on both sides of the isle leaders have voiced concern over the measure claiming it benefits corporations and high-earners. Republican US Senator Ron Johnson has said he's against the Senate Republican tax plan as its written.

Also, this tax legislation could slash production of affordable housing across the USA at a time when supply is near historic lows, according to those who know.

The Fight Before Christmas

Submitted by ub on

Twas the fight before Christmas, when all through the House and Senate, not a creature was caring, not even a louse. The allegations were hung on the free press with care, and now it's being used as a political distraction to repeal OBAMACARE. http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #POTUS http://politics.doseofnews.com/

This can also be called the knight before Christmas because Jeff Sessions was born on December 24, 1946, and to this very day, this lone white knight still delivers sessions of testimonial dynamite as he continues to fight for legal might. Folks, you cant make up an intertwined story like this one. Believe me, that I can tell you.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was the first US Republican Senator to support Donald Trump's campaign. This move gained him the US Attorney General post in the resident's cabinet. Then all hell broke loose.

Since he first testified during his confirmation hearings before Senate colleagues, he has changed his story several times.The versions differ while Jeff Sessions' testimony under oath. The US Senate testimony changed by the time he appeared before US House members. But which session is to believe if they contradict each other, or was it a classic case of selective amnesia?

When Jeff Sessions returned to Capitol Hill, he faced new questions about his past testimony regarding the Trump team’s ties to Russia, new indictments and plea deals by special counsel Robert Mueller, revelations about the campaign’s ties to Wikileaks, and Alabama senatorial candidate sexual misconduct scandal.

Welcome Back POTUS

Embattled presidents have often looked to foreign trips to get their groove back. George H.W. Bush on Donald Trump: 'I don't like him.' http://mashable.com/2017/11/04/george-hw-bush-donald-trump-blowhard/#Pj…

Does @realDonaldTrump hope his Asia jaunt creates a runway to get tax legislation off the ground?

Tax Faux

Taxes are a necessary evil and a mandatory financial charge imposed upon all US taxpayers to fund public expenditures. Could a failure to pay or a tax evasion be punishable by law? What's up with #TrumpTaxes?

Congress faux concern for the well-being of their constituents may no longer be fooling US voters. Is the tax bill going to be a great American solution or a huge problem? Why are GOP Senators planning to unveil a tax bill with an amazing race to pass this massive piece of legislation? Are they also trying to hide taxes from the US taxpayer?

Happy Anniversary?

Submitted by ub on

Feliz Cumpleaños, 生日快乐, Happy Birthday @POTUS... It has now been a year since @realDonaldTrump began his transformation. Today is the first day of the rest of president Trump's political life as he marks the one-year anniversary since he upset Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

While some things remain the same from last year’s campaign, such as Trump’s critiques of the establishment and his Twitter tirades. Since taking the oath of office he has tweeted too many times including deleted and retweets. Trump has tweeted 2,461 times since the election. Here's a breakdown of his Twitter use https://usat.ly/2hQfS8a

I worked in Washington, DC as a GM/15-10 while serving under a Republican president, but I have no political affiliation. I can tell you that Trump has transformed our national capital into a city of cultural warfare and abuses the term “fake news” to alienate real journalism like no one has seen since Richard Nixon and remember what happened to him.

I'm no politician, but over the years as a veteran journalist, I have seen up close and personal some of the most famous as well as the infamous ones. From very real presidents to appalling dictators.

There is a difference between being president and acting more or less presidential. There is also a "Bigly" aka really huge difference between so-called reality TV and broadcast journalism. One is the real deal and the other can often be staged to fool viewers. Believe me, that I can tell you!

Election Day Votes

Submitted by ub on

Happy daze are here again, so let us hope there is no suspicious activity surrounding this one and while today's races may not have anywhere near the buzz as a presidential election, there are plenty seats and important issues at stake.

Voters from many cities and states around this great country will vote for their chosen local representatives, while New Jersey and Virginia will choose their next governors. The battle for Virginia's governor will be of particular interest as many are calling it a bellwether for Trump's impact on midterm elections in 2018.

Good God Almighty?

Why did innocence meet a sad and sudden death at yet another American church? At least 26 men, women, and children were massacred inside a small community church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, yesterday when a lone gunman entered during morning prayers and opened fire with an automatic weapon.

This madness has to stop before any more innocent Americans die. They are calling it a human mistake. Air Force Error Allowed Texas Gunman to Buy Weapons https://nyti.ms/2j7nUwD

Open Enrollment Now

We wonder why Trump has slashed Obamacare's ad budget, as well as grants to outside organizations that are supposed to help consumers sign up? Obamacare 2018 enrollment clouded by uncertainty under Trump https://reut.rs/2lD20ST

Months of debate over replacing #ACA and healthcare reform have added to confusion over the exchanges but health experts and advocates also say ACA funding cuts have played a role. Just do it before 12/15.

Don't Be Rushing US

What is the reason for the Trump administration's tiny steps toward imposing sanctions targeting Moscow under a new US law by sending Congress a list of entities linked to the defense and intelligence arms of the Russian government?

It is the world’s largest nation, and perhaps POTUS has a vision many Americans have yet to see, like the fact that Russian borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.
