This Is Not Normal,This Is Not OK! :Day 99

Trump Watch:

Trump says he thought being president would be easier than his old life.  That’s because Trump is profoundly stupid.

We set a low bar for Trump. He still failed to meet it.

It will take years to undo damage from Trump’s first 100 days

President Trump accused of ‘covering up’ for disgraced Michael Flynn.  Drip drip drip, the Russian story is going to be Trump’s Watergate.

Newly Unclassified Documents: 1) Pentagon warned Michael Flynn not to take foreign payments without permission. 2) He didn’t seek permission, took payments from Kremlin-backed propaganda outlet Russia Today, then lied about it. 3) The White House is now stonewalling.

Trump’s tax plan could cost an estimated $5.5 trillion.  Which is why it MUST NOT PASS.  This would bankrupt america, and make the rich so rich that they would become royalty.

If you’re wondering how this absurd sham of a “tax plan” happened, here’s the answer: Trump’s Treasury Department hasn’t filled any tax policy jobs. Pretend President wants to do pretend work, and we get shitty work product as the result.

Dynamic scoring is the Republicans’ latest Big Lie. They’re going to invent a phony economic model so that they can claim that their $6 trillion tax cut doesn’t explode the deficit. That’s like asking the public to accept a Powerball ticket as payment for a Ferrari.

House delays Obamacare vote, denying Trump 100-day win.  Frankly I am not surprised, it was a horrible bill to start with, it failed twice to get a vote before, they went back to the drawing board made it EVEN WORSE, and then tried to serve us a shit sandwich for a third time.  These fucking morons, they had 8 years to plan this, and what do they do when the time comes, roll out this nonsense.  It’s clear to me that anyone bought and paid for by big money interests doesn’t actually know how to govern, and is paid because they are so stupid and will do anything the big money tells them to.
