The estate tax cut is benefitting the extremely wealthy, just as predicted. Down the road, it will certainly benefit the Trump family. This was a poor decision and I hope the tax rate is restored in the future.
10/23/18 Trump still lies about it
Month: June 2018
One reason Democrats can’t get their message across
Puerto Rico
The news about the much higher than previously reported death toll in Puerto Rico has gotten little media attention compared to Barr and Bee. This is wrong.
Trump thinks he’s above the law
Trump’s legal team doesn’t think he can be subpoenaed. Wrong. Clinton was subpoenaed and testified in the Paula Jones case.
The article states: “Mr. Trump’s lawyers fear that if he answers questions, either voluntarily or in front of a grand jury, he risks exposing himself to accusations of lying to investigators, a potential crime or impeachable offense.”
They’re right. He will lie. That’s what he does.
The letter from Trump’s lawyers to Mueller “contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.””
Why are Trump’s lawyers doing this if their client is innocent? Trump sure acts guilty.
Sad!
Trump dictated the letter lying about Trump, Jr.’s meeting with Russians
This article states: “In a confidential letter to special counsel Robert Mueller in January, President Donald Trump’s legal team acknowledged for the first time that Trump “dictated” the first misleading statement put out about his son’s controversial 2016 meeting with Russians at Trump Tower.”
Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow and Press Secretary Sarah Sanders have lied about this. I refuse to believe they didn’t know the truth.
Trump never accepts responsibility
Look who’s talking about ethics
Jared Kushner’s father
Covers: Going Down the Road Feelin’ Bad
“Going Down the Road Feelin’ Bad” was first recorded in 1924 as “Lonesome Road Blues”.
This lists all of the recorded versions. I first heard it by the Grateful Dead in 1971 (in a medley with Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away”. According to this
“This song became a concert staple for the Grateful Dead, and Jerry Garcia related that he picked it up from Delaney Bramlett of Delaney and Bonnie during the Dead’s trans-Canada rock ‘n’ roll train trip in 1970, beautifully captured in the “Festival Express” movie.”
The article has links to many versions of the song.

Trump has made 3,251 false or misleading statements in 497 days
The latest fact check totals from the Washington Post are here.
The most alarming thing is this: “That’s an average of more than 6.5 claims a day.
When we first started this project for the president’s first 100 days, he averaged 4.9 claims a day. But the average number of claims per day keeps climbing as the president nears the 500-day mark of his presidency.”
Democrats and the media point out his lies but the Republicans do nothing. Since Republicans have the power, they’re the only ones who could do anything about the lies but they’re gutless cowards.
This has emboldened Trump to lie more. It’s just going to get worse now that he understands there are no bad consequences for him when he lies. The same is true of his pardons.
Sad!
