US national policy issues looming after healthcare?

edit: as for any "plot," it's nowhere near as tinfoil hat or conspiracy theorist as you want to imagine. It's all very simple, and has already been shown: They each knew that Mike Flynn had been working with Russia while they publicly claimed to be unaware. They lied. To the FBI. To Comey. To the public. They covered up. They f*#ked themselves.

If NOTHING else, Donald Trump is going to suffer either a very serious stroke or heart attack, and I'd wager than will happen within the next 8 months.

I am fairly confident that Donald Trump will not be the one handing over the White House keys in 2020.

Who the hell are "you" to :roll eyes:?

At least there are a few dozen people on this forum who can actually confirm I am who I am.

Is there a single (established as a known member of this community in real life)person who will come on here and vouch for you?

I didn't think so.

You know - when a person has an outlook in life that causes them to act out in snide, condescending, and generally assholish ways, that's an indication there is something wrong in their life. Happy people don't lash out at others on a continual basis. You're like the stressed out people I used to encounter in NYC when walking dogs. They would actually lower their tote bags, grocery bags, briefcases to "dog's head" level and (try to) smack the poor dog as they walked past. Happy people just don't do that.

So, why not give yourself the gift of life this holiday, and take a look at what it is in your life that has you so pissed off that you come onto a discussion forum filled with people who actually know each other, and act like, well, a very lite version of the faux president currently in office. Look at it good and hard, and analyze how you got into the situation you are in, and how you can get yourself out of it. Being angry and unhappy, or frustrated or whatever injury to your psyche it is that is paining you, is no way to go through the limited time one has on this planet.

President Trump kicked off his holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago Friday night at a dinner where he told friends, "You all just got a lot richer," referencing the sweeping tax overhaul he signed into law hours earlier. Mr. Trump directed those comments to friends dining nearby at the exclusive club — including to two friends at a table near the president's who described the remark to CBS News — as he began his final days of his first year in office in what has become known as the "Winter White House."

The president himself on Sept. 13 — long before the bill was finalized — said the wealthy would not benefit from the GOP tax overhaul.

"The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan. We are looking for the middle class and we are looking for jobs -- jobs being the economy," Mr. Trump said.

If Fritz wanted to make his case effectively, he should have posted donor data from relevant/recent election cycles. He didn't. My confidence level is 100% on this because, a.) Hillary Clinton took in more than 2x donations from corporations than did Trump; and, b.) Hillary's top donors, 7/10, were all hedge fund/financial/tech sector. Trump, 3 of 10. But by all means, please, continue hand-picking data and dragging it through the membrane of the bubble you live in. You have three more years of Trump to endure, and all the whining in the world ain't gonna change it.

BTW, the tax cuts will be going primarily to the middle class

Hmmm, NPR and whoever sponsors the "Tax Policy Center", I think this more unbiased entity shows that it is more beneficial to the middle class:

Here's how the tax bill will affect the middle class in every US state

The political network affiliated with billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch will launch a multimillion-dollar campaign to sell the just-passed GOP tax plan to voters ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

The network, which is funded by hundreds of wealthy GOP donors, has already spent more than $20 million this year on pushing the bill — a top priority, which it worked on closely with the Trump administration.

Network officials say they will continue to make significant investments early in the new year for a "a full-scale nationwide education campaign" on the tax plan, which will permanently reduce taxes for corporations while cutting taxes for many individuals until 2025.

The campaign to sell the legislation, which polling shows is currently highly unpopular, will include TV, radio, and digital ads along with town hall events, seminars, workshops, phone banking, and door knocking.

A recent CNN poll found that opposition to the tax plan had grown by 10 points since November. Based on the poll, 55% of those surveyed oppose it and only 33% favor it, despite the investments from the Koch network and other Republican groups including 45Committee, American Action Network, and America First Policies to boost support for the bill.

James Davis, spokesman for the Koch network, said it's prepared to spend whatever it takes to move numbers on the issue, arguing that Americans right now know very little about the details of the legislation.
