The Trump tax cut was a clear bribe to the ultrawealthy, he touted it saying companies will be rushing to build manufacturing back in the US but what really happened was they used the bribe to do stock buy backs, yep, SO many new factories built.
And a 2 trillion dollar tax cut meant they still needed that 2 trillion dollars so strangely enough the national debt went up 2 trillion dollars.
What a shocker.

@AverageJoe1
Sure, and I have a NICE bridge for sale in Brooklyn, real cheap.

@Wajoma
When we lived in Jerusalem we vacationed in Egypt and saw children making rugs, their little fingers flew and nobody seemed to have a problem with that, at some point, 14 you maybe, their hands lost the speed of their earlier work so they became owners of a small business making rugs with his own bevy of kids.
That kind of work is not dangerous like working in a coal mine where a lot of those children died from black lung.

@KellyJay
I guess you don't believe in General or special relativity. Time dilation is a fact, the faster you go, the closer to the speed of light you go, the slower time flows for you, I assume you have heard about the twin issue, one twin takes off on an interstellar journey, the other one stays home? So the astronaut spends 10 earth years in the ship going 99% of the speed of light and so that 100 light years he thinks took only a couple of years, everything in the ship is running on a slower clock. So say 2 years to get there, 5 years mucking about on the new planet, 2 years coming back, his clock says he spent 9 years on the journey, Earth folks tracking the ship (they have extraordinary tech🙂 say 205 years went by from our viewpoint so his twin died 150 years earlier, the world has changed so far he doesn't even BEGIN to understand the changes, he is alone in the world 200 years behind times. And he aged only 25 years or so. A REAL stranger in a strange land.
Can you imagine the reaction to a dude in century 18 being time warped to now? Light bulbs? Sewers? paved roads? Flying cars? People walking on the moon?
He would shrivel up and suck his thumb in the corner of his room.....
So you don't think that happens?

@Cliff-Mashburn
He didn't put kids in cages. Oh, so it was Obama after all who did that? You do know it was Steve Miller who came up with that kidnap plan or do you think the whole thing was faked? Like Jones says the mass shootings were fakes?

@AverageJoe1
So it is clear you will NEVER answer that question. Hypocrite. I don't think you are so stupid you don't understand the question. You can't bridge the glaring gap allowing you to rationalize anything Trump says since he is the leader of your religion. You worship Trump and therefore he already IS a king in your mind, unbeholding to ANYONE able to do anything he wants laws or no laws. Like this one starting today, election interference stopping two porn stars telling all just before an election AND BTW, the same week as his last child was born. Tell me what makes you give him a bye on all that, he denies ever having sex with those women but there are the checks at least 9 of them made out to Cohen for 'legal expenses' but you have to know good and well he DID have sex with both of those workers, Stormy has intimate knowledge of his private parts.

@AverageJoe1
I guess you also get frothing of the mouth when you think Trump will go back to putting children in cages and don't EVEN go 'Obama built the cages'. You know good and well WHY he built them and it was NOT to put kidnapped children there.
Or use our military to quell peaceful protests, I guess you figure he was just joking.
Trump doesn't joke and you know THAT well. He is incapable of joking. He always just says whatever BS is on his mind at the moment.
You never answered my statement Trump SAID Media is the enemy of the people, right out of Mein Kampf, now claiming he never heard of that book when we all know good and well he has a copy on his nightside table, reported by Tony Schwartz who ghost wrote 'The art of the deal'.
Or Immigrants poison the blood of our country, pure Fascist statements and you choose to ignore all of that.
Those are Jokes?

@kevcvs57
I was talking about Northern Ireland who have sided with England. Let me rephrase that, when will Northern Ireland be part of Ireland and chuck the link to Britain? The brits hung on to Northern Ireland because it is the industrial part and the money maker of Ireland.

@shavixmir
Yeah, like here in the US in century 19 and 18, children forced to work in mines, lots of dead children from that dark era. It just shows laws regulating these companies are justified.
Like companies dumping toxic waste in our rivers and streams, Erin Brockovich movie showed that quite clearly, which was based on real cases.

The ones fighting those regulations are on the payroll of big corps pure and simple.
They would condone going back to coal when we have solar, wave, wind power which makes coal obsolete but the coal mining lobby wants to chuck all of that in their zeal to add more to the already fragile climate.

@AverageJoe1
Why don't YOU answer a question for a change: Why do keep asking that question when there already is a federal law making such votes illegal?
Do you think there IS no such law? What?

@Kewpie
And you wonder why this bunch raises my Irish up?

@AverageJoe1
So he is joking when he says this:

https://democrats.org/news/in-trumps-own-words-there-has-to-be-some-form-of-punishment-for-women-who-have-an-abortion-and-for-their-doctors-too/

Was he joking when he said immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country?

Joking when he says he would institute a 10% tariff on anything coming from overseas, like he doesn't realize such a move would raise OUR prices 10%.
Joking?

Joking when he said Media is the enemy of the people?

Sound familiar? It should, comes right out of Mein Kampf, but of course he is just JOKING?
What the hell is wrong with you ultrarightwingnuts anyway? Giving your religious leader a bye on everything he says?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/desantis-signs-bill-banning-heat-160241642.html

What kind of insanity is this?
Banning heat protection for outside workers? Can you imagine what he would have done if he had been elected POTUS?
No time off for heat prostration, no water, what the HELL is wrong with this dude?

@Kewpie
Criticism noted. Sorry, they get my Irish up, I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve. I have somewhat modified my stance lately however.

@AverageJoe1
Why don't you believe what he SAID he will do? Oh, I forgot, you think he is joking. Guess what. He NEVER jokes. If you don't take him at his word don't come crying to us who KNEW what he will do if elected again. You will not like what kind of governing he will do. Unless you WANT voting to disappear and personal rights gone like the freedom of assembly, you may have heard that IS in the constitution but your orange fascist anti Christ wants to stop that immediately, he said he would invoke our military to quell protests which BTW are entirely legal as of now. Trump will not allow that. Then you will see other rights disappear one by one.
