    That's the point.

    Like half of what the Lannister's are doing, it is designed to punish liberal-leaning states and to dismantle government in all forms as fast as possible. One great way to do that is to pull the revenue away.

    Step 1 - remove the deduction
    Step 2 - Trumpettes in California and Massachusetts throw fits about getting rid of state income taxes

    The President wants to renegotiate an international trade deal to get better terms for the US and you all do nothing but complain about it. I think you all just bitch to hear yourself bitch.

    Someone please ask BMore if we can have the transcripts of those phone calls. Or verification from Mexico and Canada that they took place.

    How is he going to make a better deal? Like he did with Healthcare or with the Stop-gap bill?

    When will Trumpites awake?

    https://www.americanprogress.org/is...-care-plan-doesnt-help-families-won-election/

    President Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to improve the economic prospects of families in places where job growth has slowed and the economy is weak. These areas, many of which President Barack Obama won in 2012, saw large portions of the electorate shift heavily to Trump and handed him an unexpected Electoral College victory. In these struggling communities, millions of families can barely afford child care yet still depend on it in order to remain employed. They are counting on President Trump to follow through on his promise to provide “access to affordable, quality child care for their kids.”

    However, President Trump’s child care plan would provide an estimated $5.55 for a typical family of four in the areas that swung the election in his favor.*

    The core of the Trump child care plan is a tax deduction for child care expenses, an innately regressive approach that assumes all families can afford to pay the full cost of child care to begin with. As many experts have noted, this means that the Trump plan gives the most help to the people who need it the least. Meanwhile, the families who are hoping for child care assistance so that they can work would get next to nothing—all at the expense of a big new tax cut for the wealthy.
    My guess is: Never.

    LOL...He's going to write up an Exec Order and Canada and Mexico are going be like, "Dude...We aren't subject to those." Trump will then blame some Judge in a court that has a "Nine" in it while stating, "No one thought this could be so complicated".

    Anti-Trumpers 'nasty' *sigh*...If I ever see MAGA, top-kek, Brownshirts in the street, something Im hearing is starting to be an immigrant bashing trend in places, there is going to be a lot of low talking, sad singing, and slow walking around their houses.

    Child care tax credit means free Swedish au-pairs in the Hamptons. Nothing in West Virginia. Somebody tell me anything Trump has proposed which is to the benefit of the 'Overlooked Conservative White Working Class"(tm)?

    There seems to be a 39 star and 56 star US flag jpegs being passed around the White House because they keep putting it on stuff and probably have not realized it.

    The dinner with China, FLOTUS birthday tweet, Egyptial American release video.

    WH press releases have had mistakes, but how are you this bad at the details.


    This article basically describes the cluster*** brewing

    Exactly. How many times have we seen statements from Trump about something major happening, and the other persons involved later say they have no idea what he's talking about. Like the major release of Trumpcare 2.0 that was supposed to happen yesterday.

    Only 3 months in....plenty of time to do what the President promised to do :). Do you all really think Obamacare is still going to be around in 2020? Do you all really think a permanent border wall won't be built? Do you all still think Trump was working with the Russians to hack the DNC?

    You were wrong about Trump before the election, and I would bet you will be proven wrong about all 3 of those questions by the end of Trump's first term.

    As far as I can see, the only thing that it would accomplish is ensuring that not a single Republican Congressman gets elected from California -- and they've still got a number of them -- if they were dumb enough to ever vote for this.

    Probably not, but that's not the point. For now the point is that the GOP claimed that they had the best plans. It was all going to be easy. They already passed dozens of symbolic repeal laws that were vetoed. What we know now is that it was all talk, and they never had a plan. This lesson is instructive for the next time they lecture us about how brilliant their plans are. As for 2020, who knows. But by then nobody will be grading it by whether Obamacare was repealed or not. People will be grading by whether healthcare is better, cheaper and more accessible to all people. Like he promised on the campaign trail. Trump won't be able to run against Obama in 4 years.

    No it won't. If you listen to Trump's administration, they've already downgraded that to a fence. And only in certain areas. We'll definitely see an expansion of border security, but it won't look anything like what was hyped on the campaign trail. Not that liberals are grading on this issue. Liberals don't seem to have this sense of insecurity regarding brown people.

    Of course. If you listen to the expert testimonies in the Senate investigation, it's blatantly clear. There were Trump advisors who were hyping the soon to be released DNC leaks. Tune in on Friday, they said. It's gonna be big. It's all so blatant. The Kremlin would release a fake story at 9 AM and by that afternoon is was being repeated verbatim at a Trump rally.

    He promised to do it immediately. Do you need me to replay all those videos or will you admit he simply lied to the American people?

    I think it'll be around in 2020. There's no plan. There's no alternative. Republicans designed Obamacare. It's their idea. Why would they get rid of it?

    I hear the pay is pretty good. Certainly more than I'm getting from Soros for crisscrossing the country to show up at town halls. The only drawback is that he is paid in Euros.

    A new Post-ABC News poll finds that 61 percent of Americans now favor keeping and improving the Affordable Care Act, while only 37 percent favor repealing and replacing it. Crucially, it also finds that huge majorities reject the ideas at the core of the latest version of the GOP replacement that Trump is championing.

    No we were not. We were wrong about Trump's supporters and his realistic chances to win the election, but we have been mostly right about his incompetence and malevolence.

    There is 911 if an actual crime is being committed. This is really stupid and fear mongering / racist.
