Thanks for the report per the coverage. This article echoes that along with a conclusion that suggests they (leaders - well maybe not Trump cuz he doesn’t know things - Know this is a net loss - but they are willing to take the hit.)
There is not one single serious study by a credible source that supports the bullshit the Republicans are spreading about these massive tax cuts for the rich.
Ever since Reagan started the GOP down the path of “Trickle-down” nonsense, no credible economist or fiscal study has supported the claims they make.
Yet they continue to make the same unsupported claims, and their mentally deficient base believes it every single time.
Hey, it’s how they earn their keep, effing greedy scumbags.
Now she’s arguing with Tim Phillips (American For Prosperity) who continues to lie, saying this will create jobs and increase wages. He thinks jobs will come back from foreign countries. Stephanie ain’t having any of it.
It’s an absolute travesty that helping people in dire straits due to a natural disaster has become a political football with Republicans.
Whether you get aid or not depends on if you live in a red state or swing state.
Its still Katrina 2.0 for President Procrastination.
Maybe FEMA didn’t give him enough early warning or late warning for that matter which surely means they need their budget slashed and experts replaced with ummm…not experts.
But Mr. President, what about the wishes of the shipping companies?
People, I told you the guy isn’t a True Conservative.
Kelly must’ve photoshopped the images so the kids looked white enough…
I’ve got Photoshop elements. It’s just one slide switch, easy.
You know, I keep thinking that there has to reach a point where it just can’t go any lower.
Every day I think, maybe today is the day we’ve finally hit bottom.
Then, a new day dawns and “lather, rinse, repeat”…
I’m getting mighty tired of it.
He was publicly shamed into doing the right thing. Publicly shamed.
That nonsense about the shipping industry being against the waiver was so much $4it for the birds.
For shame.
Notably, Cheeto didn’t make the announcement himself.
His conduct in Puerto Rico is impeachable in and of itself. To leave people without food, water, electricity for this long after a major hurricane is malfeasance. We all know this neglect is racially motivated.
This this this.
Refugees from Puerto Rico? oh my
Oh that’s right - they are full-fledged citizens of the United States of America free to travel unrestricted anywhere within the nation…
and while the lifting of the Jones Act is good - the jerk-assing around with it was simply abuse to millions of US citizens
Kudos to Royal Caribbean.
It’s a pivot! Here we go, Morning Joe…
This idiot waived it for TEN days!!!
The stupidity of the man is beyond belief. Well, guess it is better than nothing. Maybe he can be forced to extend it to really help – the help and repair is going to take months/ years.
So, come on stupid, do better!
Immediately would have been a week ago. The Trump admin knew this was coming, they shouldn’t have to wait for people IN the disaster area to ask for special assistance.
To paraphrase Kanye West: “Donald T-Rump doesn’t care about brown people.”
To quote the idiot in chief: “Its not my fault the colonists are restless”.
it has all gotten so extensive that we can rule out that it is the product of stupidity
Really - it is so repetitively heinous, intentionally sadistic, unnecessarily abusive that it can either be the product of
(1.) a mentally derangement - like a megalomanic who craves some sort of arousal that he can only achieve by inflicting pain and shocking agony in others -
(2.) a highly manipulative strategy to foment civil unrest and bring society to a level of turmoil - could provide enough disarray - that 'rolling-the-tanks-in-the-streets and the implementing of many unilateral extra-constitutional permanent changes could be forced upon the nation - radically & powerfully altering the balance of power.
while the constant spewing of offensive propaganda is exhausting the hearts and minds of the general public, it may be only a matter of time before other more destructive spirit breaking activities occur - imagine the radical change in the playing field if the economy was deliberately plunged into a huge huge disastrous depression - but a select elite few had received detail advance notice - it would end up just like Russia with a bunch of oligarchs (and their pyramid of subordinates) - emerging immediately after the crash - grabbing up all assets at fractions of a cent on the dollar -
People with traditional patriotic values would say that this would be impossible - this is not the ‘American way’
- while an insatiable power-hungry megalomanic would say this is excellent - life is a no-holds barred bare knuckles battle - and would also say that they don’t believe in playing by the “rules”
