That act was passed in the House with only 4 no votes. That's right. 4. And it was signed by Nixon who would be considered a radical leftist today.

When Republicans delivered $1.5 trillion in tax cuts last December and slashed the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, they said it would come with a big wage boost for American workers. Except it hasn’t.

Over the weekend, this chart from Bloomberg showing private data from PayScale’s wage index swept across Twitter. It shows a drop in wages in the second quarter of the year. While wages have risen by 12.9 percent overall since 2006, wages adjusted for inflation (so-called “real wages”) have actually fallen by 9.3 percent.

And between the first and second quarters of 2018 — after the tax cuts were enacted — real wages fell by 1.8 percent.

And it all ties into the biggest lie of all.

No one with a brain thought this tax cut would lead to higher wages, come on.
No republicans did either- they just knew they had to say it

*I'm* well aware that was the tactic, and have been pretty critical of their environmental moves from the start. Just publicly voicing my displeasure once again. And agreed; who honestly believed a "billionaire" (and I use those air quotes loosely) would be a defender of the common man and environment. It's all just a giant money grab by Trump as he was voted to go stand in those air tubes that blow money around by the deplorables, in the hopes that "the nice man from the Tee Vee who speaks like us, but sh*ts in a solid gold toilet" would share that money with them.

Ain't that the truth. Re-opening diplomatic relations with the ChiComs? Rent controls? Starting the EPA?

He should've been impeached for implementing communism!

Even Obama said Nixon was more liberal than him.

The problem with trump -- and a problem that is absolutely never going to be solved -- is that every one of his supporters believe the verbal diarrhea that spews forth the entire time his mouth is open. Couple that with the fact that 90% of the republicans in the House and Senate won't even SPEAK ill of trump, let alone do anything about him. If we're lucky, enough people with a functional brain cell or two will be voting this November to remake congress. If that happens, we can at least return to the slower pace of suicide our society was engaging in in recent decades. If republicans hang on to both houses of congress (with tampering and -- especially -- voter suppression this is extremely possible and I think probable) it means we are well and truly fvcked. To me, if the republicans manage to hold on in November it will signal to me our democracy is truly dead.

Sadly, even if rational people manage to flip congress and trump is completely neutered, it still leaves in place a huge number of people (probably at least a third of the adults) who won't believe THAT election was legitimate. And those are the people with most of the guns. This country is going to be a mean and ugly place to live no matter who wins the elections for another generation at least. And that's even IF the good guys win.

Re: POTUS 45.38: Truth! Justice! And the American Way!!

I’d like to ask my usual question here- what would have happened if obama had threatened to revoke clearances of people who didn’t agree with him on everything?

We seem to be missing conservative opinions in here lately since a lot of things really jumped the shark. I know Brent was on vacation but Brent isn’t one defending most of these asinine ideas anyway

Re: POTUS 45.38: Truth! Justice! And the American Way!!

Nah, conservative opinions have declined due to their false sense of martyrdom/persecution.
