After what Hannity did to Seth Rich's family this doesn't go down easily. https://t.co/YMIAcrH15f

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!
State and local Republicans have been attacking Muslims
Speaking of mug shots…
There are lots of great mug shots online of ordinary people who did bizarre things, had crazy expressions or wore inappropriate shirts. This is my all-time favorite:
It’s here and other places. Would you really want to wear this shirt when you were before a judge?

Trump opposed sprinklers for Trump Tower
Trump didn’t want sprinklers to protect Trump Tower. He helped lobby New York City officials to drop a proposal requiring them for older apartment buildings.
He tweeted to thank the firefighters but has said nothing about the person who died or the people who were injured. Sad!
Trump’s “best people”
Here’s a roundup of articles on current and potential Trump appointees. Some have disturbing views while others have character issues.
A Defense Department appointee resigned after it was shown he was a birther.
A Fox News commentator who had considered to head the VA had infidelity and nepotism issues.
Trump’s personal aide lost his job over his gambling habit which was considered a security risk.
Sad!
Tennessee won’t condemn neo-Nazis
The state house in Tennessee wouldn’t pass a resolution condemning neo-Nazis. I guess some of the Republicans there think they include “very fine people” like Trump does. Sad!
Trump may have won the 2016 election because of fake news
This article concerns a study that “suggests that about 4 percent of President Barack Obama’s 2012 supporters were dissuaded from voting for Clinton in 2016 by belief in fake news stories.”
That was certainly enough to change the result of the election.
Sad!
Would concealed carry supporters apply the same philosophy to marijuana?
Some conservatives are all for states rights…except when they’re not. The concealed carry bill passed by the House of Representatives would allow people from states which allow people to carry a concealed weapon to also carry it in states that don’t permit this. This is a bad idea.
I wonder if they would apply the same rules to marijuana. If you were from a state where pot is legal, you could smoke it anywhere. I bet they don’t want that so they would defend the state marijuana laws.
Note: the article I linked to was written before the Florida mass shooting but I doubt concealed carry supporters have changed their minds. In fact, Trump wants concealed carry in schools for trained people.
Sad!
