    Yup.

    Temporary tax cuts for the middle, permanent tax cuts for the rich.

    What a total gotcha.

    And here I thought the Toadstool was all about "America first" and bringing jobs back from overseas. Instead, he made it far more profitable to off-shore so that your company could escape taxation by becoming "multinational."
    Rats.

    Donald Trump is literally too stupid to have any clever or visionary ideas of his own. He was always going to be surrounded by conservatives who have always had the interests of the investor class and the affluent at the forefront.

    Trump is literally known to have stated how much contempt he has for rednecks and religious fundamentalists. Boggles the mind that Deplorables thought Dump was looking out for them

    I know. Isn't it great? It's as if President Trump never existed. The Sun looks a little brighter today. The air smells cleaner. The world seems happier.
    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    You're right. We shall see, however, whether the mindless masses will stay focused on a man who is not on their TV screens nor in their Twitter and Facebook feeds every minute of every day. I'm interested to see whether he tries to launch a media platform and/or a political party. It would be better if his legal troubles distracted him from trying to organize anything, but prosecutors will need to move quickly in order for that to happen.

    Well that may do for a start.

    But until we prosecute him for all of the illegal and dangerous immoral things he has done- AMERICA WILL NEVER HAVE ANY CLOSURE!

    And let me tell you, if we do not hold Donald Trump, and all of his cronies that also committed illegal acts, then it could come back in just 4 short years in the form of a TRUMP AGAIN, or a Hawley, or a Cruz, or who knows- A HANNITY even.

    NO LET"S NIP THIS ONE IN THE BUD!

    WE MUST PROSECUTE THE TRAITORS NOW! They must all be held accountable for their evil doings!

    There will be no respect for our governmental institutions, law and order, or our CONSTITUTION, and America's reputation in the world- if we don't!

The same is true of all those snowflakes whining about social media disallowing hate speech and promotion of violence on their platforms.
    Exactly! The social media stuff has caused me to roll my eyes nearly out of my skull. They want to use SOMEONE ELSE'S infrastructure and intellectual property to spread misinformation, conspiracy theories, lies, and hate. In some cases, they want to use them to plan violent demonstrations and even an attempted coup against the government. When the people who own the infrastructure and the intellectual property rightly point out, "You violated the contract you signed with us when you registered your account. We don't like what you're doing while using our name, brand, hard work, and reputation. We are switching you off," they scream about the First Amendment and how terribly the world treats them.

    We should also keep in mind that his ill-begotten spawn have political ambitions too. Beavis has already set up his own website. They'll be pushing Papa Anti-smurf to keep the legacy alive.

    So gross. It is an actual cult. I wouldn't let Don Jr. cut my grass. Eric appears to have been lobotomized at birth. Ivanka is only in it for the money. I think Jared's shadow causes him to shit his drawers at least once a day. Maybe Barron or Tiffany will yield some good results.

    But Trump is not Trump’s policies. Two very different things. Biden sits on a bit of conundrum. He can continue with many Trump policies and have a successful first term. For example, Trump left the ball Teed up for Biden in the Middle East. All he needs to do is take a safe shot at the fairway. The border is relatively quiet, etc.

    Or he can play wrecking ball to satisfy his base. He’s determined to play footsie with the mullahs in Iran. He can disrupt the whole region with one simple act. If Fauci and some democrat governors would take their foot off the neck of the economy, it’s set to rebound to pre-COVID numbers—because Trump’s policies had it going before the CCP F*d us.

    But Biden will likely choose the wrong path. That’s why I have a high degree of confidence democrats will only be in total power for two years. The prospects of Democrats avoiding Mid Term Shellacking 2.0 are very poor.

    In fact, Trump should run for a House seat in FL. He’s be in a shoe in. Then become Speaker of the House in 2024.

    That would be something, wouldn’t it lol?
    Not after having been impeached you fucking moron.
