by Linda Beale Taxes, government, and the good life In 2012, Ed Asner narrated a cartoon video prepared for the California Federation of Teachers called “Taxing the Rich”. It’s worth watching, given the four-decades-long effort by the GOP to convince ordinary Americans that “trickle down” economic goodies will be coming their way if they only […]
Via Thinkprogress: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his economic policy advisory team on Friday — a collection of 13 white men. While the list does not include any women or racial minorities, it does include five Steves. The people Trump will ostensibly rely on for economic guidance are are: Steve Roth, a fellow real […]
Lifted from Robert’s Stochastic Thoughts: Ballance RIP Nothing lasts forever, not even the Washington Post’s devotion to Ballance. If Trump had said the earth is flat, they could have written “Opinions on shape of planet differ. Both sides have a point”. but if he asserts (in the same tweet) that it is flat, spherical, and […]
A new Detroit News/WDIV-TV poll finds Clinton up nine points among likely voters in Michigan, 41-32. Note that the pollster says Clinton has a “shocking” lead in the GOP regions of the western and southwestern parts of the state. But Trump told us he is going to put Michigan in play, because he’s doing so awesomely among […]
GOP fundraiser Meg Whitman, a former Hewlett Packard executive, says she’ll endorse Hillary Clinton, arguing that Trump is “dangerous” and a “demagogue”: “She revealed that Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had reached out to her in a phone call about a month ago, one of the first indications that Mrs. Clinton is aggressively courting Republican leaders.” One […]
TRUMP: I think I’m going to to do great in Ohio, we’re going to do great in Pennsylvania, I think I’m going to do great in Florida and I think I’m going to do great in states that some people aren’t even thinking about. Because I’m different than Republican candidates, than other Republican candidates. I’ve got states that […]
More character defining moments of a psycho person. He says if he loses Florida 3 months from now, because polls show him winning now… It is proof of voting fraud and there will be widespread civil disobedience and a constitutional crisis. This guy is dangerous. If Bernie made a deal with the devil by supporting […]
What games is Trump playing with Paul Ryan? When I worked in a medium security prison as a counselor, we would call this a form of asexual punking. This is when a gang leader puts down a member in front of others so that they kowtow to the authority of the gang leader without question. […]
Trump put down the mother of a crying baby after he said not to worry about it. He said that she didn’t understand and waved her off with his hand. He also said that the baby was “young, beautiful and healthy… that’s what we like.” What is he referring to in the video? Young women? […]
Trump is all twisted up in trying to seem intelligent about Khizr Khan’s wife speaking. He thinks his wife is being submissive to her husband as if somehow that is culturally wrong. He accused Khizr Khan of not writing his own speech. Yet it turns out that he wrote the speech with his wife. They […]
