Trump has a history of lying about tax cuts for the rest of us. He did it in 2016 and in 2018:
“There was one rather dramatic flaw with Trump’s plan: It didn’t exist. He’d simply made it up. In fact, the whole story was utterly bizarre: Lawmakers weren’t on Capitol Hill; literally no one was working on the issue; and even White House officials were “mystified” by Trump’s absurd declarations.”
Republicans still lost bigly.
So what’s he lying about again?
“It wasn’t clear what led to the shooting. The preliminary investigation indicates Letcher County Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines shot District Judge Kevin Mullins multiple times following an argument inside the courthouse, according to Kentucky State Police.”
First, they were related by marriage. Second, the sheriffs deputy was fucking prisoners in the judge’s chambers because no cameras. Third, the sheriff may have (Partner’s thought) been doing it as well.

See? Both parties CAN agree. We only are divided when we want to be.
“A group of House members from both parties succeeded Thursday in deploying a rarely executed method to bypass GOP leadership and force a vote on a bill to expand access to Social Security benefits.”
But I still put my trust in Democrats.

“Cotton said that the bill ‘as about a lot more than IVF,’ claiming that it would have mandated “experimental, controversial procedures” such as cloning, gene editing, or ‘providing fertility treatments for men who think they’re women, whatever that means.’”
The Stupid Party blocks IVF because they don’t understand how reproduction works.
We need to vote Republicans out of Congress. They really are that dumb.
“Vance explained the Trump plan during an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker: ‘He, of course, does have a plan for how to fix American health care, but a lot of it goes down, Kristen, to deregulating insurance markets, so that people can actually choose a plan that makes sense for them.’”
Yeah, we did that and it doesn’t work. That’s literally why Obamacare exists.
Previously we literally had insurance policies that did nothing. Vance thinks that’s cool.

“That $1,000 profit you made on each car will skyrocket to $6,000. That extra profit comes at no cost. You won’t have to hire more autoworkers, engineers, and salespeople, nor spend money on enlarging your factories, nor add alluring bells and whistles to your vehicles. Thanks to Trump, you will pocket six times as much profit per car. Sweet.”
How Trump screws the middle-class. Again.
TL;DR Tariffs benefit the rich.

Teamster Prez is now lying on air:
“Bash asked the union president what he meant, to which O’Brien responded, ‘In our polling, New York, her district, voted overwhelmingly Republican to support former President Trump, so she may want to focus on her job instead of mine.’”
Reality: “Teamsters Local 202 in New York’s 14th District in the Bronx endorsed Ocasio-Cortez Thursday”
O’Brian is selling out the Union to Trump.
Trump: Stand By Your Man 🎶🎶🎵
“North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is currently running for governor, was the subject of a bombshell report Thursday that revealed the Trump ally had allegedly written on a pornography website’s message board about wanting to own slaves, peeping in women’s locker rooms, and enjoying transgender porn.”
Trump doesn’t want to ditch him.
It’s 45 days till Election Day. This is just going to get worse.

Trump: “[We will] return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration),” he wrote. “I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America.”
There is no such word as “remigration”—it’s a racist dog-whistle used by white nationalists.
The Republican nominee is no different from a member of the KKK. He will only work for white people.
“Former president and top Republican candidate Donald Trump previously called to end taxes on Social Security benefits, and it appears a majority of Americans are behind his proposed policy.”
Here’s the thing: Trump and Republicans can do that TODAY! Or four years ago.
They just don’t want to.
This problem has existed since Reagan. Not ONE Republican has voted to fix it, including Trump.
Republicans don’t need four more years: they can do it today.

“ Vance is now denying that he admitted anything untoward in that CNN interview. At a rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday, he slammed the media as “dishonest” for reading his CNN quote about “creating stories” as synonymous with fabricating them. In Vance’s new telling, he really meant he had created a story in the media; that is, he merely made immigration newsworthy, and didn’t manufacture anything”
Actually, they are synonymous in this instance.

Trump: “I like buildings to have windows. You know, they’d like to close up all windows. The building should be built 90 stories tall but that doesn’t matter but can’t have any windows.”
He thinks Democrats don’t want windows?
What is he talking about? He started with environmentalism (thinking he is an environmentalist—HAH!) and segued into windows?
I gave him the benefit of a doubt, but he appears to be losing touch.

O’Brian shows the wrong stuff.
“Teamsters President Sean O'Brien is facing a union revolt after the organization's national leadership declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' bid for the White House -- with his predecessor calling the decision a ‘failure of leadership."’
He needs to be dropped. First his horrible appearance at the GOP convention and now this. In my lifetime Democrats have been pro-labor.
This man is horrible.

“GOP leaders are discussing a bill that would keep federal agencies funded until mid-December, an idea in line with what Democrats have said they would support. The new proposal under discussions being led by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) could get a vote early next week and then head to the Democratic-run Senate. It leaves out any election-related provisions, which Democrats had called a poison pill.”
The SAVE Act would prevent Americans from voting.
“ Robinson compared himself to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, saying that he, too, is the “victim of a high-tech lynching.” This is how Thomas characterized the attacks he faced during his 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearing amid allegations of sexual harassment by Anita Hill.”
Why do these guys, and it’s always guys, say they’re lynched, when they’re just sad because people are publishing what they did?

Now he has to vacate by by THURSDAY or they can’t substitute a non-porn aficionado.
This won’t happen because, like Trump, he believes his own bullshit.
The GOP created Frankenstein monsters and are now discovering they can’t control them.
In an election year.
This is funny.
“North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson is a Hitler-quoting, gay-bashing, conspiracy-touting antisemite… On Thursday, a bombshell CNN report revealed that Robinson had written on a pornography website’s message board about his desire to own slaves, his peeping in women’s locker rooms, and his enjoyment of transgender porn.”
The dots were connected and the GOP wants him gone. But like Trump, there is no loyalty. He plans to stay in the race.

Trump Today: “I guess it shows the economy is very bad, to cut it by that much, assuming they’re not just playing politics,” Trump said. “The economy would be very bad, or they’re playing politics, one or the other, but it was a big cut.”
Trump in 2019: “ The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less, and we should then start to refinance our debt. INTEREST COST COULD BE BROUGHT WAY DOWN, while at the same time substantially lengthening the term.”

What does MAGA love? Suffering.
“Vance was asked for his reaction to the Fed cutting rates, which would ‘alleviate inflation for a lot of people.’ Before he could answer, his crowd started to boo. This response was particularly odd considering the fact that cutting interest rates has the potential to actually be good news for everyone.”
Like lowering the price of groceries. The fed is lowering rates precisely because inflation IS lower.
“Republicans in control of the lower chamber, led by Johnson, are taking their marching orders from former President Donald Trump, who is demanding the government be shut down if the SAVE act doesn't pass. ‘If Republicans don't get the SAVE Act, and every ounce of it, they should not agree to a Continuing Resolution in any way, shape, or form,’ Trump wrote.
It’s national voter disenfranchisement. They want to steal the election.
