And now I my health insurance has gone up so much I can’t afford bullets. Well played dems, well played
Well, he's at least 250 days late by now. Saying things and repeating them is what he does best; actually putting together a plan and getting it rolling is not something he's proven to be capable of. But all that empty talk keeps his "supporters" happy.
You mean take everyone's guns away? That's their pipe dream. Fixing infrastructure, on the other hand, requires an actual plan, funds, and would take decades to accomplish.
If the NRA calls a bill Pro-Gun can it really be called a gun control bill? After months of careful negotiation, pro-gun legislation was passed through Congress on Wednesday, December 19, 2007. The National Rifle Association (NRA) worked closely with Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to address his concerns regarding H.R. 2640, the National Instant Check System (NICS) Improvement Act. These changes make a good bill even better. The end product is a win for American gun owners. Late yesterday, anti-gun Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), failed to delay progress of this pro-gun measure. The Violence Policy Center, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and other gun control and gun ban groups are opposed to the passage of this legislation because of the many pro-gun improvements contained within. Edit: Let me be clear, I am all for bills like that that attempt to make states follow the rules for the criminal background checks system. It is a big problem we currently have with multiple agencies and others not submitting info and other missteps.
After all the tantrums from the right about Obama taking their guns away, I don't take that kind of scare-mongering seriously. When Trump presents an actual infrastructure plan and funds I'll pay attention. So far it's all talk like it's always been with him.
I personally think politics took that dive around 1979 when soft money started flowing in from corporations and unions. I think it was Buckley v. Valeo that was the reason for the change. Interestingly, that is when the national debt started to sky rocket.
Tax bill passed. Trump wins 2020 in a landslide. Lock it up. Liberals everywhere outraged they have to keep more of the money they earned instead of paying it to the government. For those of you experiencing this outrage, I do have a solution for you. https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsfaq/faq_gifts_to_govt.htm Merry Christmas p.s. - Russian Collusion is a bullshit conspiracy theory.
At least until property rich blue staters on the coasts try to itemize their property tax bills and mortgage interest payments.
Democrats love taxing the rich. Win, win. Or maybe they'll be more apt to vote for someone who will lower property taxes in the future.
to be honest, as a matter of long term public policy, in terms of disincentivizing overinvestment in real estate and reducing regional tax disparities, eliminating these deductions is probably a good thing. Short term its going to be a kick in a lot of people's balls.
Evidently the UN isn't as afraid of Trump as he'd like them to be. 128-9 against the embassy relocation.
Hopefully he stays true to his word and defunds the countries who voted no. #spendItHere I won't hold my breath on that one, but it would be great.
All of our closest allies plus all of our biggest enemies universally agreed that this was a stupid move. China, India, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Russia, England, Ireland, Italy, Germany, the rest of Europe, South America, all of the Middle East save for Israel, etc.... We've become a laughing stock internationally, and our influence around the world is waning. another idiotic move by an idiotic president where we gain nothing but bad symbolism.
Imagine the embarrassment if the UN decided to pull out of NYC for a European or Asian location.. Probably not a bad idea on whole anyway.
So the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, The U.S. embassy is generally located in the capital, the country who's capital it is wants it there, the country who's embassy it is wants it there. Sorry but this is one of the least important things to me as far as what's going on in the world. And a U.N. decree condemning it, we know how good those decrees work at getting something done.
