Is OAO a new snarky ending?

No, ma'am.

OAO - Over and Out

Dance, little puppet... DANCE :D

As I have stated on numerous occasions, it's just best not to post your personal information on a blog, and that would include the way you're constantly talking about your "wee-wee" (your term).

This comment of yours above is what is commonly referred to as TMI, and it really is too much information no matter who does it, you know, like that time your Orange Worship insisted on talking about his little puppet during a televised debate because "Little Marco" (Trump's term) pointed out the fact that Poor Donald has wee small toddler-sized hands. :)

Common decency is largely missing around here of late.

Let's do our part to inject more of it into our comments.

Dance, little puppet... DANCE :D

CW's meaning is perfectly clear to anyone capable of basic comprehension which you keep demonstrating you are not.

Says the guy who insisted that Buddy Roemer was a successful "Small Money" candidate who ran several campaigns taking "Small Money" contributions because you didn't take 5 minutes to consult easily searchable FEC records that are publicly available to every human with an Internet connection and a keyboard. There are no "Small Money" candidates, Don, and never have been since their rhetoric versus reality are two wholly and distinct different things. Pardon me for stating the painfully obvious, but you lecturing anyone on "basic comprehension" is both super silly and supercilious... in all ways. :)

As another commenter astutely pointed out, your website is dead, Don, and apparently has been for quite a long time. Why don't you run along and troll Ralph Nader some more "through multiple avenues"?

https://www.change.org/p/ralph-nader-address-one-demand-campaign-financing-approach

Or... here's a rather civilized idea that could go a long way toward illustrating your "basic comprehension" of the concept of common decency: Why don't you get your own "One Demand" website up and running versus making multiple demands of others on their websites?

Of course, since these are CW's words we are discussing he could easily make clear how it was intended to be interpreted.

CW's meaning is perfectly clear to anyone capable of basic comprehension which you keep demonstrating you are not. <-- Your exact words right back at you, Don. As yet another commenter pointed out, it was a "clear message." You really should read and reread it and let it sink in because CW absolutely and unequivocally nailed it.

Enough Already!

Merry Christmas, Don... OAO :)

The distinction that you are missing is that CW's statement is a general statement that "infers/implies" that my position is they are equal in all ways- there is no specific issue connected to that statement while my statements were comparing the two one a specific issue.

That's what you're going with? Heh!

Well, okay, but "all ways"... your words, not CW's... are such tiny little words and easily typed if an author wishes to do so, and CW doesn't strike me as the kind of author who has any trouble whatsoever making himself clear and meaning what he means and saying what he wants to say.

So I did not change the context of CW's statement by using different words that mean the same thing in the context of the statements while you and CW did change the context of my statements and inferred things that were not inferred in my comments.

You just interpreted his statement to mean "all ways." Okay then.

But go ahead, keep digging. The way out of the hole has to be down there somewhere.

It's your hole, Don, since you're the one who's expanding it and explaining how CW's written word means more than the ones he's authored. Only you know how far the rabbit hole goes since it's your interpretation.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." ~ Morpheus to Neo, the Matrix

Now why is it, do you suppose, that I believe if you were Neo you'd demand that Morpheus explain to you how the pills were any different and then when he endeavored to do exactly that very thing you'd insist that he implied that the pills were alike in "all ways," even though they are obviously two different colors and could therefore NEVER be alike in "all ways"... you know, like the Democratic Party and Republican Party have two different names/colors and therefore could also NEVER be alike in "all ways." :)

No problem, Victoria.. Always happy to show you up for the luser you are.. :D

Your projection is so precious. Thanks for letting me know I rattled your cage in the doublewide, Michael.

And yet, me pointing out how totally and utterly out-classed you are draws a desperate response. :D

Hang tightly to your precious projection and what little you've got since you're only fooling yourself if you honestly believe you've got any moral authority whatsoever to lecture anyone regarding "class" or "crime" or "hypocrisy" or any number of the things for which you regularly pontificate from your sanctimonious high horse... I mean your swamp. :)

Funny how that is, eh? :D

I would NOT say it's funny; I would say it's pitiful and will always have my pity and then reiterate the fact that you have no moral authority whatsoever to lecture anyone who comments on this blog. #pot-kettle-black-black-black

Whatever you have to tell yerself to make it thru yer hollow and sad day, Victoria.. :D

I'm just fine, Michael. My day is great, awesome in point of fact. I'm now heading over to my local Exchange in order to "purchase" about a dozen or so of those 4K widescreen televisions for Christmas presents... probably 55- or 60-inch ones will do nicely, and then I'm taking a few of them over to several of the local Veterans' Administration facilities' rec rooms on Christmas Eve tomorrow and donating them to some very deserving people. It's never a sad day to speak facts to hypocrites like yourself and to give back to those who've actually sacrificed versus those who misrepresent theirs.

Merry Christmas, y'all... more indictments coming... stay tuned in the Happy New Year! Who knew that committing federal crimes could be so complicated and require a real lawyer, a real good lawyer. Trump better lawyer up way better because he's got much, much further to fall and an even swampier swamp to fall into. :)

A man reaps what he sows. ~ the Word... you know... of God

Yes.. It's sad that you don't think....

I completely agree....

I don't think......

Exactly.... And THAT is your problem...

613

It's good you use the smile/joking emoji. I don't think you have ever kicked anyone's ass around here. You just flood posts until they go away. More of an ass slarming than kicking, really...

hehehehehehehehehehe

Now THAT's funny!!!! Point to DH... :D

611

Thank you for your input, EQ,

No problem, Victoria.. Always happy to show you up for the luser you are.. :D

but as we here in Weigantia are constrained to point out, a reprobate and self-admitted liar/player/ground-pounding knuckle dragger such as yourself has absolutely no moral authority whatsoever to judge anyone else regarding "class."

And yet, me pointing out how totally and utterly out-classed you are draws a desperate response. :D

Funny how that is, eh? :D

Your lectures about people who commit crime are so precious considering their source, and you and your ilk... as always... have my pity. :)

Whatever you have to tell yerself to make it thru yer hollow and sad day, Victoria.. :D

610

I know, what was I think infringing on your shtick?

Hay, ya'all set the standards around here..

I just kick ya'all's ass by them.. :D

There you go, everything we consume comes from the earth.

Hey, dumb "duck," you seem blissfully unaware that I used that as an example only to prove that I too could move the goalposts in the same fashion as you just did when you claimed that everything inevitably comes from a corporation in order to prove the stupid shit you had said before in your earlier comment.

How could I have missed that?

Because you're truly a dumb "duck."

Therefor, who even needs those greedy wicked corporations, that overcharge us for their products and underpay us for our labor. Let's just tax 'em right out of existence!!

I can assure you that I didn't say any of that... nor would I ever since I own a shitload of shares in said corporations that you insist that I hate because it fits your dumb "duck" worldview. I did say I don't hate corporations even though I've never worked for one and never will and absolutely do NOT spend every dollar I "earn" by purchasing things from a corporation. What part of that is confusing at all?

That other fabricated utter nonsensical bullshit you made up and attributed to me is proving my point so thank you for the assist and repeating once again... for the special kind of stupid dumb "ducks"...

Try NOT lumping everyone into a category that fits your right-wing utter nonsensical deep inside the conspiracy theory bubble worldview and then insisting they fit your ridiculous libelous made up dumb "duck" bullshit.

Thanks again for the assist, and have a nice day. :)

There you go, everything we consume comes from the earth. How could I have missed that? Therefor, who even needs those greedy wicked corporations, that overcharge us for their products and underpay us for our labor. Let's just tax 'em right out of existence!!

With the exception of Education and Blogs, every single one of your "intangibles" will almost inevitably come from a corporation.

So you concede a "purchase" doesn't have to be a "tangible" thing like you claimed, but... TIME OUT... time out... while Stucki does his Michale impression and moves the goalposts.

So contrary to what you stated about "Dems/Libs hate corporations," and "most of them are employed by corporations, and they all give damn near ever $ they earn to corporations," you want to move the goalposts and claim that almost everything originates from a corporation. Not sure how that has any relevancy to what you claimed since... while we're moving the goalposts... everything actually originates from materials obtained from the Earth, which I can assure you is NOT a corporation.

Reviewing what you said:

If it's "total fabricated bullshit' that Libs give "damn near every $ they earn to corporations" how about you share with us the last dozen things you purchased for which the purchase price was not remitted to a corporation?

So like I said, the overwhelming majority of things I purchase all the time, I did not remit my money to a corporation. You can move the goalposts and claim that everything inevitably comes from a corporation, and I can go you one better and claim that everything inevitably comes from the Earth, but that still doesn't change the fact that I don't purchase them from a corporation.

So that's why an asinine statement like you made is exactly the way I characterized it.

And regardless of whether you shop exclusively at stores on military bases, likewise the overwhelming majority of the things you buy will have originated with a corporation.

But I don't purchase them from a corporation regardless of whether or not they originated from a corporation or the Earth so your statement is fabricated utter nonsensical bullshit. :)

I couldn't care less whether your are or are not `Dem/Lib', it all comes down to that 'duck'thing, you quack like a .., walk like a ...,swim like a ..., etc. and you STILL give most every $ you spend ultimately to a corporation, whether you're perceptive enough to realize it or not (most likely not).

No, dumb "duck," you can spin it however you want and move the goalposts as many times as you need to, but the fact is that I don't work for a corporation... never have and never will. I also don't hate corporations just because you claim I do. I also don't spend every $ I spend with a corporation.

You lose, dumb "duck." You're wrong. Try NOT lumping everyone into a category that fits your right-wing utter nonsensical deep inside the conspiracy theory bubble worldview and then insisting they fit your ridiculous libelous made up dumb "duck" bullshit... people will think you're Michale and can't win an argument without making up circular bullshit and/or moving the goalposts. :)

Saying that two things, people ,etc. have one or more common traits is not saying they are the same in all ways.

Point me to where I or CW said anything about "in all ways." So "is it possible that when you can't refute the argument that you change the argument to something that you can refute and call bullshit on?" Nice of you to personify your own exact words from [56] which I have conveniently quoted in the prior sentence.

CW said that "your arguments that 'Dems are just as bad as the GOPers' [note that he did NOT say "in all ways"] and that 'there's no difference between the parties' [note again that he did NOT say "in all ways"] ignores relevant facts." You then incredulously denied ever taking these positions. I then said that CW described you exactly correct because you "lump the parties together all the time" and ask that CW explain (more like demand as of late) "How is it any different than when Big Money Democrats screwed people over and lost to Big Money Republicans?" Consistently lumping Big Money Democrats with Big Money Republicans and asking CW to explain how they're any different infers/implies that you don't believe there is any difference.

You still need another example?

However, I believe that credibility is established by being consistent. I was not diverting attention from Republicans to Democrats, I was including Big Money Democrats with Big Money Republicans. ~ Don Harris

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2017/11/29/how-democrats-should-solve-their-superdelegate-problem/#comment-111231

Listen to yourself, Don. According to Don Harris, you were being consistent by "including Big Money Democrats with Big Money Republicans." That would be that whole lumping of Democrats and Republicans together thing that I spoke about. Believe yourself that you do this consistently.

CW nailed you exactly right. He said "your arguments that 'Dems are just as bad as the GOPers' and that 'there's no difference between the parties' ignores relevant facts." No he did NOT say "in all ways." You don't want to own your own handiwork that you do on a consistent basis (according to Don Harris), so you insist you never said it because you never said "in all ways."

If I said that Hitler and Jesus both drank water it does not mean they are the same in every other way.

Is it possible that when you can't refute the argument that you change the argument to something that you can refute and call bullshit on? Nice of you to again personify your own statement from [56]. If you consistently included Big Money Hitler with Big Money Jesus and kept asking (demanding) that CW explain how Big Money Hitler and Big Money Jesus were "any different"... okay?

Enough already. Yes, it is tedious, and it's your own argumentum ad infinitum... so at least own your own stuff, Don. Read and reread what CW wrote and get to know yourself... because he nailed it. :)

I know, what was I think infringing on your shtick?

With the exception of Education and Blogs, every single one of your "intangibles" will almost inevitably come from a corporation.

Well, I am sure glad we're not being ageist around here :^/

Jeezus, you people.. Attack anyone that doesn't toe yer frakin' ideological line...

How sad.....

I did not specify all the money you 'SPEND', I specified all the 'PURCHASES' you make.

I'm still NOT a "Dem/Lib" so providing it to you will still do nothing to prove the "totally fabricated utter nonsensical bullshit" you wrote in your comment, and I will further refer you to the USAF 22nd Military Airlift Squadron Black Ops motto...

... a tangible example which can be purchased from a veteran owned business, which I am guessing is also NOT a corporation.

None of Your "Freaking" Business, but 95% of the goods and services I purchase are made at Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) where I pay no sales tax. AAFES is a division of the Department of Defense that invests 100% of its profits back into the military community, which pleases me greatly.

Whatever you sent to Chris did NOT constitute a "purchase", but rather a 'donation', as you received nothing tangible (goods nor services) in exchange.

Thank you so much for that insight into your understanding (actually lack thereof) as to what constitutes a "purchase." *ROTFLMAO*

Ahem... *looks right, looks left* ... I'll let you in on a little secret (actually a widely known fact) of which you seem blissfully unaware: Intangible goods and services are actually a "thing," and... you and I and the other people can actually "purchase" them.

Examples of intangible products and services that one can actually "purchase" are:

* Education (ain't purchasing a brain)
* Insurance
* Cell phone service
* Airline travel (ain't buying the plane or the seat)
* Music (downloads)/Radio service... Sirius
* Newspapers
* Magazines
* Mobile apps
* Movies
* Software
* Blogs... ding, ding, ding

Virtually anything that is delivered in a digital form on the Internet is an intangible good that you can purchase. Just because CW provides his blog for free makes it no less an intangible good, and while it's true that I could still receive CW's intangible good for free, it is still no less an intangible good that he could choose to sell and that I could choose to purchase.

Pretty much all the goods and services you purchase do indeed involve "giving $ to a corporation" in exchange.

No, I do NOT believe you are correct (see above).

Have a nice day, and might I suggest you purchase yourself an education.

Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. ~ Cousin Eddie, Christmas Vacation

Well, gosh and golly gee wilikers maybe I need to talk to the orderlies of your assisted living facility about monitoring your internet access...

Sorry, I'm of the generation that thinks trolls live under bridges and harass billygoats and other harmless creatures.

What ever the trolls of your generation do, it's highly unlikely that I'm doing that.

That's the attitude of the majority of Weigantians in a nutshell...

602

Do actually believe that BS, or are you just trolling?

How about we re-think that, and realize that what each person earns belongs to him as the fruits of his labor, and cutting a person's (or corporation's) tax is NOT a 'gift' to him, it's just leaving him with something that always belonged to him in the first place!

I'm not your system admin, I have a day job. If you can't be bothered to break away from pontificating on forums to check your site occasionally for problems, maybe it's not in your blood to run a website?

Now, ya'all will honor THAT poll the EXACT same that you would a poll that says what you want to hear, right??

Of course ya'all won't.. You'll find a hundred different ways to PROVE that *THAT* poll is flawed and wrong and ONLY the polls that say what you want to hear are valid....

No argument, no facts, no nuttin...

Nothing but polls that have been PROVEN to be total bullshit when it comes to President Trump...

597

I did not "do anything" whatsoever, in the context of your statement. I simply quoted a statistic from the IRS website, and it's gotta be damn tough to claim that it's a lie, but go ahead if you're that crazy.

And remember, when you cut somebody's tax, you are NOT "GIVING HIM ANYTHING", what you are doing is REFRAINING from taking something AWAY FROM HIM". He already earned it, it was his to begin with.

(the top half of earners pay 97.2% of all income taxes paid)

i see what you did there.

this statistic lies in two ways. first, when conservatives try to excuse giant tax giveaways to the ultra-rich, they represent taxes paid as a percentage of the national gross revenue, not as a percentage of their own income. when mitt romney pays 14% of his income, that's still a much bigger slice of the national pie than 100% of most people's income. second, dems have nothing against the "top half" getting a benefit - the top half is people who make over $56,517. the issue we have is with the top .01% getting a much greater benefit while the rest of the "top half" have to carry them.

JL

Democrats are going to rue the day they did not jump on the MAKE AMERICA GREAT bandwagon... :D

YEAH. RIGHT.

1.) That's making a lot of assumptions that AREN'T necessarily going to be true.

2.) Is also ignoring the AMAZING FACT NOW, that EVEN with the economy doing as WELL as it is RIGHT NOW, Trump's approval is NOT CURRENTLY BETTER than 37%

Sounds like a lot more whistling in the dark from you!!!

There is too much heat around here in the comments sections and precious little light.

Yep...

That's the problem with letting hatred and intolerance fester... Even if it starts out directed at the "RIGHT" people, it often obtains a mind of it's own...

If you want to post more than one link, write more than one comment -- that's the way around the filter...

I did not know that.. :D

It was a quote from a guy I know who totally devastated ya'all's arguments that President Trump's Tax Cut is not really a tax cut..

He included all the support and facts for his conclusion...

I am not surprised it was ignored..

FACTS that prove Weigantians totally and utterly batshit crazy wrong tends to be ignored around here.. :D

"Love" is such a strong word... Every time I quote a poll, I usually (see what I did there?? :D) include the caveat that polls are meaningless...

Usually, the only reason I even quote polls is to prove to you that there are polls that YA'ALL ignore... :D Throw them in ya'all's face, so to speak.. :D

You, on the other hand, exhibit exactly the behavior you are now ascribing to others. Poll says GOP (or Trump) is up? You gleefully tout it and post links.

I did???

I mean, seriously. Get a grip. Because if there's anything that proves confirmation bias around here, it is your refusal to belive any poll you don't like, while boasting about the ones you do like. That, plain and simple, IS confirmation bias. Deal with it, pal.

As I said, the ONLY reason I post polls that say things counter to the polls ya'all worship is to prove ya'all's
Confirmation Bias...

You are right. I'm not a corporation. I'm a sole proprietorship...

This comment was held for moderation due to multiple links. I have approved it, but just wanted to point out to everyone not to do this because it delays your comments being posted.

If you want to post more than one link, write more than one comment -- that's the way around the filter...

-CW

Because you are only for polls that say what you want to hear..

It's called CONFIRMATION BIAS and Democrats stink with it...

Oh, puh-LEEZE.

First, you love polls when they agree with you. Wasn't that long ago you were here bragging about one that actually put Trump over 50 percent (earlier this year).

I spent eight years, once a month, covering Obama's polls. They went up, they went down, but I never decided "I'm going to end this column series because I don't like what the polls are saying."

You, on the other hand, exhibit exactly the behavior you are now ascribing to others. Poll says GOP (or Trump) is up? You gleefully tout it and post links. Polls say GOP/Trump is down? "Polls can't be trusted!"

I mean, seriously. Get a grip. Because if there's anything that proves confirmation bias around here, it is your refusal to belive any poll you don't like, while boasting about the ones you do like. That, plain and simple, IS confirmation bias. Deal with it, pal.

-CW

CW claimed I said Dems were just as bad as the GOPers and there was no difference between the parties.

CW is exactly correct because your repeated theme contained in your posts and questions to him to the point of trolling him on his own blog are this:

How is it any different than when Big Money Democrats screwed people over and lost to Big Money Republicans?

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2017/11/08/its-a-new-day-for-democrats/#comment-110208

So just in case your repeated question/theme is unclear to yourself, please realize that repeated questions/comments that ask/state how is it "any different" implies that you believe there is no difference... and, yes, you do it over and over ad infinitum on his blog.

In no way do these statements declare them equal.

Oh, if only the word "different" weren't an antonym of the word "equal" in just about every dictionary... and simple English.

Is it possible that when you can't refute the argument that you change the argument to something that you can refute and call bullshit on?

CW called you on your argument and nailed it exactly right, and it looks to me like you've exactly described yourself since you're now trying to change your argument ad infinitum. :)

If it's "total fabricated bullshit' that Libs give "damn near every $ they earn to corporations" how about you share with us the last dozen things you purchased for which the purchase price was not remitted to a corporation?

If you're going to quote me, then you should quote me correctly. I didn't say it's "total fabricated bullshit;" I said:

it's totally fabricated utter nonsensical bullshit.

If you're going to quote yourself, you might also want to quote yourself correctly. You said:

... Dems/Libs hate corporations. That has always fascinated me, seeing as how most of them are employed by corporations, and they all give damn near ever $ they earn to corporations!!

If you and Michale would like to make nonsensical fools out of yourselves trying to prove that Dems/Libs hate corporations, be my guest because it will be a hoot to watch Michale make arguments against his own past statements wherein he's branded Democrats as being corporatists. If you'd like to further make yourselves look stupid by presenting any proof that "most of them are employed by corporations," please knock yourself out on that one too. Pay no attention to the fact that the largest employer in the United States is... indeed... the United States of America. If you and Michale would like to further make asses out of yourselves, please provide proof of your statements that "they all give damn near ever $ they earn to corporations!!" (emphasis added by me), then knock yourselves silly and good luck trying to prove they all do that.

As far as me listing the "last dozen things" I "purchased for which the purchase price was not remitted to a corporation" would prove nothing toward your nonsensical argument about all Dems/libs because: (a) I'm not a "Dem/lib," and (b) I also don't spend a single dime that I actually earn.

The last money I spent went to "Pamphleteering Press," and I am guessing Chris is NOT a corporation.

Have a nice day. :)

It's a real shame.

If it's "total fabricated bullshit' that Libs give "damn near every $ they earn to corporations" how about you share with us the last dozen things you purchased for which the purchase price was not remitted to a corporation?

This is the same cycle repeated over and over again. ~ Don Harris

The same cycle repeated over and over again is your bullshit, Don, so you could at least own it and stop fooling yourself because you most likely aren't fooling anyone else. CW fairly and accurately described your posts, and he was a lot nicer than he had to be or I would have been if I were in his shoes and running my own blog that I endeavored yearly to remain free of advertisement.

I would wager that there are quite a few readers of CW's blog who would like to see the site remain free of advertisement and also feel that you are damn lucky that CW allows you to post here at all. The way I see it is that CW owes you nothing; in fact, you owe him quite a large sum of money for your almost daily advertisements for your own business.

In conclusion: Please "clue in" to the fact that CW owes you nothing... quite the opposite, actually. :)

NOTE: My objection to "wealth inequality" is purely for the super rich who can use it to buy political influence/power, THAT'S a problem in my opinion. If they weren't able to do that I wouldn't care at all.
-Deplorable Despot

You see, that's the point ya'all simply don't get...

President Trump's tax legislation helps the vast majority of Americans.. THIS IS FACT...

The fact that it helps some more than others?? Big deal..

Ya'all act like it's a death knell for all but the super rich and that characterization is total bullshit based SOLELY on ya'all's hysterical PTDS...

et infinitum troglodytarum repetita

DH to CW: That would be a valid point if I had ever made those claims. But I didn't.

I call bullshit, Don. You lump the parties together all the time.

And when people are only offered a choice between two deceptive options it increases the possibility that they will be fooled. ~ Don Harris

So Don, you're apparently not fooling CW because he called you exactly correct; you sure as hell are not fooling me, and I'd wager a large sum of money that far exceeds your paltry "One Demand" that you're not fooling anyone else either.

Need more examples, Don?

Like I said..

NO FACTS....

Just whiney bitchiness...

et infinitum troglodytarum repetita

Any facts to support THAT???

Nope.. No facts once again...

Says you..

Any facts to back it up??

{{{chhhiirrrrpppp}}} {{cchhhiirrrrppppp}}

Course not..

First and perhaps foremost is ideological, based on the fact that the main benefits go to corporations, and Dems/Libs hate corporations.

Isn't it Trump who is supposed to be the anti-corporatist? I wish the Trump cock-holsters and sycophants would make up their addled "minds."

That has always fascinated me, seeing as how most of them are employed by corporations, and they all give damn near ever $ they earn to corporations!! I ask you, is that weird or what??

It's not just weird, it's totally fabricated utter nonsensical bullshit.

Second reason pocketbook, meaning that because the way the income tax is structured (the top half of earners pay 97.2% of all income taxes paid), they suspect there will be fewer free gov't goodies for them.

That figure is from 2013, and that's because in 2013, you only needed to have a meager AGI of $36,841 or more in order to land in the top half of earners. There were 69,000,000+ filers who fell into the "top half" category in 2013, and this figure illustrates nicely the widening divide in income inequality.

How much AGI would one need to fall into the top 50% in the latest IRS figures from 2015? A mere $39,275.

Contrary to popular myth, the majority of government "goodies" are actually being paid to working-class whites and older rural poor people... those who overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

If only Trump hadn't promised to be the voice of the "forgotten" Americans instead of the "forgotten corporations," **/sarcasm off** there might not be a growing number of voters out there who feel they were conned and/or baited and switched by Trump.

No big surprise, perceptive people realize that those twin issues, ideology and pocketbook, inform pretty much everybody's voting patterns. Of course, the unperceptive disagree, and claim that while THEY (the political 'elite') always vote pocketbook and/or ideology, that the great unwashed masses all vote based on TV political ads.

Then there's the "special kind of stupid" who insist on placing labels like "always" and "all" on others on a quite frequent basis while being seemingly oblivious to the fact that they're metaphorically like the projector blaming the screen for the moving pictures. :)

Is the Left lying when they claim it's not a tax cut when, in fact, it IS a tax cut for 95% of Americans??

Rory is a tax guy who does taxes for a living...

Is he wrong??

Or are ya'all???

Tedium ad infinitum.

I don't think another name change will help your cause, such as it is.

Nope, pretty safe to say the officer is better off under the new tax plan. Isn't napkin arithmetic fun? :-)

No matter how ya'all want to spin things, people..

President Trump's tax plan is good for Middle Class Americans...

And yet, ya'all fanatically supported TrainWreckCare with a LOT less support..

If the polls are sacrosanct, then why??? Why would you so hysterically support something that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans were against???

Because ONLY the polls that SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR are sacrosanct.... You ignore all the others...

The logic is impeccable...

571

RE second paragraph: More like floggin' a popular marine mammal often associated with Sea World if you catch my drift. :)

Couple that with the fact that not ALL Trump supporters are poll-averse and that would explain the poll numbers.

Once you understand that the majority of Trump supporters do not do polls, then the poll numbers are put in their proper context..

It's only political ideologues who cherry pick polls to support their ideology that crow incessantly about polls..

570

Facts to support??

{cchhhiirrrrppp} {chhiirrrrpppp}

yea, that's what I thought...

Oh PLEASE Michale. That's all just more meaningless whistling in the dark drivel from you. Even when they have polled Republicans exclusively, Republican voters did not even support the tax bill.

Newsflash for you sunshine.. Many Republicans are as hysterical NeverTrumpers as you people are...

THAT'S the fact that you don't get..

A poll on Trump's performance that DOESN'T include Trump supporters is nothing but useless data...

Talk about moronic. Look at YOUR own logic Michale. Because you just made my own point for me. If, by definition, ALL those polled were exclusively ANTI-TRUMP, and skewed the poll, then the poll should have been 100 percent AGAINST TRUMP's tax bill. Since it wasn't, then it could not have been all anti Trumpers, could it? See how logic works? Since why are 100 percent anti Trumpers going to like or give Trump credit for anything?

Thank you for proving my point that ALL polls are based on nothing but ideology.. :D

"If ALL the people being polled are ALL anti-Trump then that skews the poll and make the conclusions based on the polls moronic..."

"You see, what ya'all don't get is, unless you know the breakdown of WHO the polls are polling, the data is meaningless..

If ALL the people being polled are ALL anti-Trump then that skews the poll and make the conclusions based on the polls moronic...

And, as has been WELL established, Trump supporters don't do polls...

So, when I say that the polls ya'all crow about are simply the polls of the NeverTrumpers, it's NOT "wishful thinking"..."

Oh PLEASE Michale. That's all just more meaningless whistling in the dark drivel from you. Even when they have polled Republicans exclusively, Republican voters did not even support the tax bill.

And if it even was ONLY Trump voters, that still would not mean anything. Since only 46 percent of those who voted, voted for Trump. So even only Trump voters by themselves would never even constitute majority support, even if a majority of them were in favor!

"Nope.. That's yer spin because you can't handle the FACT that President Trump just scored a MAJOR legislative victory and Dumbocrats are going to look like idiots when Americans come to LOVE President Trump's legislation.."

You mean like Americans have come to LOVE Obamacare???

That just has to stick in your craw. That's why you deny reality so much. Please do go on living in your fantasy world, just like Roy Moore hoping for a non existent recount that ain't never going to happen, because he LOST.

If ya'all can't give President Trump credit for *ANYTHING* then the problem isn't President Trump...

It's the likeliest of possibilities...

grrrrrr

When they start claiming that President Trump had nothing to do with the legislation or it's success. :D

Just like ya'all are trying to give Odumbo the credit for Trump's moves.. :D

"More money in Americans' pockets

Merry Christmas, America..
President Trump"

YEP, Merry Christmas America! HERE'S THE REALITY:

"Republicans’ tax overhaul will completely change the way employers figure out how to withhold income taxes from millions of Americans’ paychecks, potentially disrupting payroll departments as they figure out how to switch to the new system with little guidance and just days to spare.

As of Jan. 1, the Republican plan dumps the entire concept of personal exemptions that workers now use to calculate how much should be taken from their pay on the tax forms known as W-4s. That means forms could need to be rewritten, and millions of workers will need to submit new ones. At the same time, the GOP plan doesn’t specify exactly what should happen, leaving it to the IRS to figure out.

Employers are especially confused because the bill says Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service could decide not to change the payroll withholding system until 2019, a move that could mean some workers have a lot less than they actually owe withheld from their checks under the new law. Some could end up facing tax penalties."

More money in Americans' pockets

Merry Christmas, America..
President Trump

:D

What kind of GRINCH would oppose putting more money in middle-class Americans' pockets???

562

I am also constrained to point out that Don is following very sage advice. The advice I give ya'all ALL the time..

Don is cleaning his OWN house first... Which is what MUST be done in order to have any shred of credibility...

561

More money in my pocket and more money in the pockets of every American who has a job.. :D

You deride all polls,

Yes.. I deride *ALL* polls..

Y'all only deride the polls that say things ya'all don't like.. :D

So, tell me.. What are you going to do if you are WRONG about Trump's tax plan??

What are ya'all going to do if Americans LOVE IT??

Admit ya'all were wrong?? :D

Something about a 'cold day' and 'hell' comes to mind.. :D

560

How will you tell? You deride all polls, so what measure are you going to use?

That's the question ya'all have to ask yourselves..

What if ya'all are WRONG about how Americans feel about Trump's tax plan, as ya'all have been WRONG about practically EVERYTHING Trump to date???

Whatcha all gonna do then???

559

The differences between the Republican and Democrat agendas are as stark as night and day and to state otherwise is to live in a fantasyland.

And yet, Democrats use the same methods to achieve the same goals...

Accuser: Linda Sarsour said sexual harassment 'doesn't happen to someone that looks like you'
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/20/accuser-linda-sarsour-said-sexual-harassment-doesnt-happen-to-someone-that-looks-like.html

All women are to be believed.. EXCEPT for women that go against the Democrat Party line...

Don's solution and methods to achieve that solution may be out of whack.. It may not be. I don't have enough facts or knowledge to assess that one way or the other..

But he *IS* dead on ballz accurate in identifying the problem and pointing out that, when it comes to big money in politics, Democrats ARE no different than Republicans..

And he deserves credit in not only recognizing the problem and pointing out the problem but also for doing more than just paying lip service to the problem..

Ya'all are willing to ignore the problem if it means more Democrats get elected... Don is not..

It's really that simple...

558

Which isn't to say that Republicans don't ALSO stink with it. They do..

But ya'all claim that Democrats are BETTER than Republicans..

Of which I see no evidence to support...

557

I mean, if polls are sacrosanct, why didn't ya'all listen to the polls when the American public spoke loud and clear about TrainWreckCare??

Because you are only for polls that say what you want to hear..

It's called CONFIRMATION BIAS and Democrats stink with it...

Now, let's postulate a scenario where the polls are ALL wrong.. Completely and utterly WRONG...

I know, I know.. That's never happened before.. Oh, but wait.. It HAS happened before.. And lo and behold, the SAME person involved in THAT poll-flame-out incident is ALSO involved in THIS incident as well..

If ya have been so totally and utterly and completely burned by polls in the past, why oh why would you want to quote polls now??

Because they say what you want to hear...

CONFIRMATION BIAS

556

NO Democrat voted for this swamp monster.

And NO REPUBLICAN voted for the train wreck that was Obamacare...

Does that mean TrainWreckCare was horrid???

I mean, if THAT is the standard, then it must be applied equally, no??
