Republican tax scam

The Republican tax cuts that primarily benefit rich people and corporations are unpopular.   This NBC-Wall Street Journal poll shows that 27% think it’s a good idea while 36% think it’s a bad idea.

“Moreover, a majority gives thumbs-down on the plan when asked to consider its potential effects. Just 39 percent foresee a positive impact from a stronger economy, more jobs and more money in their pockets; 53 percent foresee a negative impact from higher deficits and disproportionate benefits for the wealthy and big corporations.”

Sad!

Great New York Times editorial

The New York Times warns it will be up to Congress to take action if Trump tries to harm or shutdown the Mueller investigation.

I don’t have any confidence in congressional Republicans.  They won’t protect the Special Counsel and won’t do anything if Mueller or Rosenstein are fired.

As the Washington Post argues, Fox News will protect Trump.  The column notes that “In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, three of four Republicans said they believed the Justice Department and the FBI are actively working to undermine Trump.”

Sad!

The Republican governor of Kentucky said that the teachers protest led to sexual assault of a child

How can you talk with people who talk like this?  The governor of Kentucky said “I guarantee you somewhere in Kentucky today a child was sexually assaulted that was left at home because there was nobody there to watch them,” because Kentucky teachers participated in a protest.  This is not a rational argument on issues.  This is nonsense.  Sad!
