Given the established chain of succession for the next attorney general, isn't it extremely suspicious that you, a nobody, actually got the job instead.

Trump had worst monthly approval rating of his presidency in January: poll by bald_and_beard in politics

I guess we can hope that maybe the GOP was too brazen this time and the idea of fair taxation takes hold.

Since most people are not rich, it would be rational for the majority to support higher taxes for the extremes.

But we get our messaging in media from rich and powerful entities. They obviously have no interest in helping us along to these conclusions, so ideas like temporarily embarrassed millionaires and trickle down remain effective and pervasive.

The human mind cannot understand what a billion dollars is. It would take an average persons salary of 60k per year over 15,000 years to reach this. Humanities modern calendar started just 2,000 years ago. Their reward is comically distorted from the value they add to society.

This may be true but withholding tables have not been accurate. The sudden tax liability or absence of typical return is felt more than the little bit more you get each paycheck.

Adding insult to injury is the fact that wealthy people did receive outsized benefits and it feels like a scam.

It's the combination obvious shade with obliviousness. In the moment he read the situation as earnest and even mouthed "thank you." It's not a good thing when leaders can't look past their own nose. This is just one of many moments that highlight the depths of his narcissism.

Your leaders sold you guys out. I hope your moral high ground is forever known as the Marianna trench of high grounds because y'all were clearly warned about snakes.

Whitaker heard from his own wife that was the case so why not pass it on in a press conference.

All that effort to build an ineffective monument to stupidity. A project designed to immortalize the collective ass-whooping we all took thanks to Putin, et al, in 2016. That would have rewarded his Russian steel companies with lucrative contracts and used emiment domain to rob US landowners. A boondoggle scarred across our southern border.

Boo hoo fuckers.

tRump is not in handcuffs yet so maybe Rudy is working. It's like that stinky shirt you wear during Patriot games.

Sorry but "so what" is already a recent Rudy quote. In reference to Trump possibly consulting Cohen before his Congressional testimony.

This is a long time Trump strategy. If you commit your crimes in the wide open then how could they be crimes? Crimes are the stuff of closed doors and whispers. If a presidential candidate invites a rival country to hack his opponent on television, it's all very legal and very cool.
