What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Why do they want to get rid of the estate tax?

There are billions of reasons why.

Remember the purpose of the bill is not to increase investment (no effect), improve the economy (ditto), or because the people support it (2-1 against).

It's because the donors will go on strike otherwise.

Yes, that is the practical effect.  But it is also a renunciation of liberal democratic values.

Right . . . look who is voting for it.  That's a feature not a bug.

Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Child Sex Predator Roy Moore to win in Alabama. We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!

I added a couple words for completeness.

Embattled Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore is ahead in one new poll but tied with his Democratic rival in another recent survey.

A new CBS News poll released Sunday found that "71 percent of Alabama Republicans say the allegations against Roy Moore are false," according to a CBS News release.

The survey of likely voters found that Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct, leads Democratic rival Doug Jones by 49 to 43 percent for the Dec. 12 special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Meanwhile, another poll that was conducted by The Washington Post and George Mason University and released Saturday found the two candidates neck and neck.

The poll by the Post and George Mason University found that 50 percent of likely voters support Jones, a former prosecutor, versus 47 percent for Moore, a former judge, a slight three-point difference barely a week ahead of the election.

In the same poll, 53 percent of the voters said they consider Jones to have higher standards of moral conduct than Moore, the Post reported.

"In contrast, about a third of likely voters say Moore, who has cast his campaign as a 'spiritual battle' with heavy religious overtones, has higher moral standards," the Post said.

The CBS News survey released today found that most Republican voters, 53 percent, say that while they are concerned about the allegations against Moore, other issues are of greater importance.

Half of Moore's supporters say they back him because they want a conservative in the Senate "rather than because they think Moore is the best person for the job," the CBS News release said.

A senior adviser to the Moore campaign commented on the CBS News poll Sunday.

"The only poll that matters is Election Day, but the trend indicates momentum," Moore adviser Brett Doster said. "Those who know Roy Moore best know the allegations are false and part of a political attack. We will win next Tuesday."

Seems like if they wait long enough, Sessions will be fired by Trump for something and he can just take his spot back.

Yeah, we knew that.  Hard to keep up with all these winning Administration picks, though.



But see, it's OK because she's black, and those people know about stuff like HUD.

The Senate accidently repealed all corporate tax breaks in their bill. Guess that shit happens when you scribble a bunch of notes in the margin.

I would say it's going to be funny as balls watching a bunch of FBI guys sweeping the White House in blue raid windbreakers and crime scene tape when they break up the West Wing like the end of Casino, but he'll get his war started to save his ass first, so it'll never get that far.  Everything is going to burn.
