Today in Trump

[SlimTrae]

I think ex Presidents/Prime Ministers do these lucrative tours after completing their terms.

Yeah big money groups pay them. Jimmy, George, Bill, Dubya, Barrack didn't charge ticket sales to common people...You know how I get down! That's a challenge dude....one I always...I means ALWAYS oblige!

Dig this:


Speaking Fees for Former Presidents Top $750,000
How Much Obama, Clinton, Carter and Bush Earn By Just Talking
https://www.thoughtco.com/former-pre...g-fees-3368127

America's former presidents are raking in tens of millions of dollars just by making speeches, according to tax records and published reports. They speak at corporate conventions, charity fundraisers and business conferences.

Trump is a such a lukewarm-pissy stale beer kind of a loser that he cant get what Even failed presidential candidates such as Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Ben Carson get paid tens of thousands of dollars

Gerald Ford earned more than don in 1970s money so far... as much as $40,000 per speech.



Bill Clinton - $750,000
George "is our childrens learnin' Bush jr. got - $175,000- not out the pockets of the poor.

all the CEOS that got paid during Don the con's money grab...bonuses up the wazoo & they dont want his punk ass speaking. Damn.
He said he made us great again...until covid...well damn...why then dont those groups, ceos, corporations that can bare him witness- call him on in for a speaking engagement?
it is not like he sent the SEC after people for fraud.
Shit...even Freddie & Fannie benefited off him....hundreds of millions of dollars...just ask his son n law Jared...without Daddy n law...no Fred..with em?

Jared Kushner Won $850 Million In U.S.-Backed Loans At Special Terms: Report


Don the I want WallStreet on my team Drumpf....had the most of ever POTUS sitting on his admin...notta one wants him to speak?
So he gotta rob the poor white folk...who he wont even take pictures with.
They are cordoned off....unless they pay.
Rob 'em all. I can hurt for poor whites who see him for the demon their bibles told them to look out for...but for those who give their all to a man who wont even shake their hands... in ANY OF THOSE EVENTS THE PAST 4 YEARS...

From the 1st link ( i added a few)

They are on point on how all these are the issues so critical to them. Nothing about the war on terror (they waivered & cut and ran) nothing on why 4 years of no infrastructure. Nothing on the deficit. Nothing on their home-grown Common Core -Obama signed it-but the incubation was Right wing & Republican governors.


BLM is a terrorist group (aka black liberals)
Antifa is a terrorist group (aka white liberals)
Transphobia
Dr. Seuss
Mr. Potato head
Spongebob Square pants
barney the purple but gay dinasaur
the border
confederate flag
confederate statues
cancel culture
Woke culture

I like the response from one user: So it is test-driving issues to find a winner to bring back before 2022 - or just chumming the waters to keep folks riled up?


None of those above can be solved with a bill from the senate. Their arguments are all emotionally based.

Talk about cancel culture .. the AARON Blake tweet- is damning.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...y-state-again/


So if they don't like the decisions of politicians that stand up to Drumpf, - just cancel their position. Oust them from power.

In 2020's wake, Republicans are focusing heavily on secretary of state offices, even stripping one Democratic official of key election-related powers.

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-...state-n1272522




Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), for example, has become a Trump target for not being corrupt in 2020, so he's facing a primary challenge from Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.), one of Congress' most far-right members who's spent recent months rejecting the legitimacy of his state's election results.

Respect the people who dedicate their lives to serving our country in the armed forces


Yup, last time Generals were respected by con-serving narratives aka right wing hate militias- was when Obama was in office. Since then, I have lost count of how many American generals have been canned, shit talked, insulted, berated, denigrated accussed of playing politics.

[SlimTrae]

In fact, it was a liberal group called Moveon.org.

They rhymed General Patreus name with BeTray us...Obama was blamed for it. Demanded he denounced them. He did, wasn't good enough. Speak favorably of Patreus & all in uniform.
https://www.mediamatters.org/rush-li...nator-betrayus

The name (sidenote) was actually a play on words begining with Dead Limbaugh saying Senator Betrayus.

Why?

because when they demanded that Senator Obama prove he could work in a bipartisan manner...they demanded in every interview- every debate PROVE IT!!


He did. he said not only had he worked with a Republan named Hagel, but if elected president he would BRING IN Republicans like Hagel, he did. So the hate sprewing bigot Rush...called the Republican senator- Senator Betrayus.


Moveon took that...and said oh yeah...what about the General...who betrayed us...and BAM!!! It was now all Obama'a fault so sewing a culture of hating not just that general. But he has to hate ALL generals. ALL Military.


hagel would also be chided in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in voting to approve a nonbinding resolution declaring that Bush's escalation in Iraq was against “the national interest.”


The very people today who dont want us in all these wars, were the very ones to say...But we cant hear that coming from a republican--while a republican is POTUS.


Fastfoward to Donald the I know Better than ALL the Generals Drumpf---and look at how many Generals he has shit talked, insulted.

But they alone love the military.


Today they say General Milley is a DISGRACE.
Not based on his years of service...but because he stated last week he never should have walked through the park with the president in uniform- the job of a general is to fight wars....not assist a president to walk down a street-with cameras rolling...look like some kick ass POTUS.

What else did General do to deserve such comments as https://twitter.com/LoveMyTN/status/1408026462104469506


General Milley is too woke to be CHief of Staff
General Milley is a disgrace
Any other non-woke commander would court martial him for sedition and insubordination


The above are quotes from Republican voters on a general...based on how many issues? Over what decades and years?
Or based on one statement. One sentence.
He never should have assisted a President to hold a bible upside down & assbackwards...for that- he should be tried for sedition.

Thats how much Trumpers love the military.

Federal reserve economic data... Not Flintstone which is a shame....

Looks to me like the growth line stays the same after Barry's tax hike and trumps tax cut...

That's it exactly. FRED is the St. Louis Fed's online economic database. Lots of nice factual stuff. Unfortunately their pop up shop celebrating thirty years of FRED has shut so you've missed out on the opportunity to own one of these fantastic t shirts.

The party of the working class blocking funding to allow the IRS to audit rich tax cheats and bring in hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue that is currently being stolen on an ongoing basis:

One point from the above if you don't make it all the way to the end:

• IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig has estimated the agency is collecting at least $1 trillion less in taxes than what the federal government is owed annually.
• "The IRS absolutely needs more resources across all lanes," he told Congress in April. "We do get outgunned. There's no other way to say it."

Moderate Democrats blocking something else the government could do which would both save money and benefit Americans:

This was what happened with Obamacare and endless other issues. All the corporations have to do is buy off enough votes to block any legislation they don't want passed. Because none of this stuff ever gets coverage in the media because they're too busy covering the culture wars because that's what people want to watch the whole system can be upended by a few well placed campaign contributions.

• "The IRS absolutely needs more resources across all lanes," he told Congress in April. "We do get outgunned. There's no other way to say it."

Worth pointing out here when you hear about how radical and far left the Democratic party is here's an example of a real life situation. The head of the US tax collection agency says over a trillion dollars a year in tax which is legally owed isn't being collected due to illegal tax evasion*.

Both parties have a now clearly stated policy on this. The radical far left Democratic party want to increase funding to the tax agency so that they have enough resources to collect an extra hundred billion a year, or ten percent of the amount current being illegally stolen every year. The GOP having spent the previous decade defunding the tax agency so that they're unable to effectively police tax evasion by wealthy people wants to keep the current level of funding so that the tax agency can collect zero more dollars out of the trillion.

Neither of these two policies appear to be far left to me. The far left party are apparently fine with just collecting ten percent of the money currently being stolen from the government every year. That seems to me like a radical right position if anything. The GOP are even more radical.


* And this is just tax evasion. There is also tax avoidance which unlike tax evasion is completely legal, is a multi trillion dollar industry and involves tax lawyers, fancy accountants and various offshore tax jurisdictions. Tax evasion and tax avoidance. Two completely different things.

[Kirkland Laing]

You'd think the media could explain the situation to the American public wouldn't you. I'm sure you could get ratings covering the ongoing theft over trillions of dollars a year by a fraction of the top one percent. You could do it by reporting actual factual stuff too. Yet the only coverage is as a minor issue with no context of information presented and the issue bothsided -- Democrats say this, Republicans say this.
