POLITICAL THREAD

[AustinTXCat]

CNBC: This is just the start of companies handing out bonuses, raising wages and increasing spending.

- Expect a stampede of companies handing out bonuses, raising pay, spending on capital projects and giving to charities, with the windfall from the newly passed corporate tax cuts.
- AT&T, Comcast and a handful of companies said they would use tax reform to give money to their employees and increase capital spending.
- Wells Fargo and Fifth Third said they would raise their minimum wage. Analysts expect other banks to follow, as well as other companies that will get a boost from the tax law changes.

#MAGA.

I can't wait to see how the minimum wage cartel spins this one.

Trump will troll Mueller by not firing him.

This is exactly what's happening IMO.

Build the wall and pass Kate's law. Institute an across-the-board-non-military spending freeze (which the media will inevitably call a "cut"). Kill the Iran deal. Pass Infrastructure bill. That's it, that's the list. If some or most of that gets done, 2020 re-election will be icing on the cake.

Don't forget, many of the states that have experienced population growth are red states and redistricting in 2020 will add red seats in Congress.

Frankly, couldn't stand Trump in Summer of '16 & as a person, still can't. Dropped membership in Pub Party when he was nominated. Never could support HRC & planned to write-in. In last days b4 election, finally decided I had to do anything I could to stop HRC, thinking it was futile, & voted for DT. Man, am I ever glad I did. But still think he's a prick.

Glad he is our prick and not some other country's who has been taking the USA's lunch money for many years now. This guy had no reason to do this job. Does not take a salary and gave up an extremely lavish lifestyle to put up with the insanity. Why it took/has taken people so long to realize this guy actually wants to make this country better is beyond me.

Just in, "Same results come out as before, no one held responsible" Back to Russian collusion narrative.

Hopefully red state increases are not liberals moving in to get away from taxes and then start voting for Dems in that state too.

This was retweeted by Chris Hayes. Something good happened immediately after the bill was passed and they are cornered into saying 'this is a stunt' or 'this is just peanuts to those evil companies'.

A lot of Americans are getting a raise and 100s of millions is going to charity. Liberals can't enjoy a truly good moment for working families. If I was liberal I would say 'I still think long term this is a bad bill. But bravo to companies for doing a good thing and congrats to all those getting a pay raise' and move on.

Illinois is losing the most population of any state due to its high taxes and insane crime. Most of those people are moving to red states which should improve the electoral math after the next census.

It’s crazy because most of the state is conservative except for Chicago and probably Springfield.

Regarding Haley and the embassy thing....has anyone ever seen.heard a liberal criticize another country for slamming the US?

Love it. Not only is it RIGHT to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but it's great to have a President that has the fortitude to stand up to the rest of the world.
Take names, President Trump!

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Don't forget that most of the left have NO IDEA how an economy actually works. Look what they are taught in HS/college. Nothing but leftist BS about how the only way an economy moves forward is by letting the government do everything and taxing the heck out of anyone making money.

Yep. They have the overall general idea that government is better suited to control your money than you are.

If it upsets the UN, we are on the correct track.

Odd... I don’t remember any stories saying, “Meet this working man who is caught in the seams of paying high rates for healthcare thanks to Obamacare. Though some will receive insurance for free, some will pay through their nose.”

 

[Pelosigalore]

The media...

Ok, we know they are not even trying to be impartial. We understand their purpose. Having said that, NOBODY believes them anymore. At all...
It’s gotta be bad for their bottom line, but I guess they don’t care?

2020 could just be a victory lap at that point. Hope it happens.

Amazing what getting a businessman from the private sector can do vs scumbag poltician who just stuffs his and his donors pockets.

In my mind I like to think Fidel's bastard son and Vincente Fox were in the room and Haley backhanded both of them as they began to talk back.



I suspect that's implausible for a multitude of reasons.

 

[KingOfBBN]

You will not be able to convince me that voter fraud did not occur in Alabama election. Knowing the left, that happened. Given the levels they will go in creating sex assault allegations, paying them, using a dossier, fake news, spying, busing people in from state lines, etc.

Why would we trust them on anything? You have to be a special type of stupid to be a leftist nowadays, just intentionally choosing to be stupid and brainwashed.

 

[Bill Cosby]

The one thing that does irk me about this tax bill is every time you see something that's strange or out of place, you can ask yourself "how does this benefit the real estate industry" and it starts to make sense.

Architects and engineers specifically carved out of service businesses?
REIT dividends qualify for the business deduction no matter what?
A separate limitation for capital asset heavy/wage light businesses?
Like kind exchanges only remain for real property held in a trade or business?

Hopefully they are white men.

 

[WildcatofNati]

It was about the pretentiousness and smugness oozing from the page. My personal favorite was the guess that Europeans go home and watch an intellectual documentary.

It's just beyond arrogant.

Being sober today, I agree with you.

It does seem that whenever a race is tight it's always the heavy Dem districts that are last to report. As if they want to know how many votes they need.

Birmingham areas were late in the process in Alabama. In 2016 Detroit was way late to report, I remember thinking that they were trying to dig up votes anyway possible to keep Michigan blue.

People do still believe them. Take the libs in this thread as proof. It's sad really because the media isn't just lying they are also selectively reporting with a twist

they raised their prices before 2016 & I have no doubt they will raise them later. Net, is there a point to this?

Yeah there is.. you Just made it.

Looking back at lists of every condemnation coming from different groups of the UN is crazy.

Almost 3/4 of the condemnations are of Israel. ZERO are to predominantly Muslim countries.

Zero human rights condemnations to countries that literally kill people for their beliefs. That stone people for being homosexual. That don't let women show their face.


Why are we a member of this farce?

Is there any chance that this won't end up being nuanced to the inevitable point of being a valentine to the memory of Ted Kennedy? I presume, safely I think, that if it were at all harsh, it wouldn't have been financed in Hollywood.

We are soooo lucky. We were on the brink of losing everything. It remains a continuous struggle to take back our country from the Marxist mf's, ... and President Trump is the man to lead this fight! I'm more hopeful than I've been since Reagan!


MAGA!!!

I'm afraid that is what is happening. The stupid MF's phuck up their state, then move to a red state and do the same. Californians are now moving to Idaho in droves.
