And the future be damned?

Excellent, Nick!

Cockroaches rule, both now and in the future.

100% Accurate, Nick! Agent Orange will make a deal with ANYONE for enough Green!

I find it encouraging so few commenters try to defend trump and his regime on these posts. (for that matter, the republican hierarchy and conservative missinformation) The few that do fail so miserably or claim actions of the republican party when it was socially liberal. (about 50 years ago)

Same as the old green deal.

$22 trillion in debt, deficit increases, Conservative mystery math isn’t fake news, it’s fact and disaster. Tax capital gains and hit the one percenters.

It continues to amaze how comfortable the Trump Disciples are with the massive corruption of Trump and the Republicans.

I guess they actually believe that as long as them libruls are appalled, it must be beneficial for the country.

Or something.

@Bozhi, that’s a remarkable piece of special pleading and deceptive numbers. It sounds wonderful that tax revenue went up a full $14 billion and is an “all-time high,” but that is deceptive on multiple counts.

First of all: $14 billion increase is a grand total of 0.82% increase: trivial relative to debt.

Second of all, since the population increases, and in general the working population does too and/or inflation increases the amount of total income people make, referring to “all-time high” is precisely as meaningless as saying that a current crap movie made more money than Gone with the Wind without correcting for currency.

Third of all, Trump HAS blown a hole in the deficit, in case you have forgotten, since the deficit was declining after Obama jump-started the economy with the stimulus, but now it is sharply on the increase, and #45 is continuing to whine for his ridiculous wall that Mexico will not pay for, so he insists we do, while HIS taxes went down.

I need not even discuss the absurdity of the “tax cuts boost the economy” trickle-down nonsense, since this has been tried multiple times under Reagan, Bush, and Bush II and every time it has not only not boosted the economy, it has increased income inequality, because the only real beneficiaries are the rich and super-rich.

Their deal is not new at all.

“We dealt ourselves all the aces and face cards. Just to be safe, we didn’t even give you guys five cards, and one of the ones you did get is just an ad for a rules book you can’t afford.”

@sjldoesnotspeakforme HAHAHAHA! Go look at The Progressive Party platform of 1912 (The Bull Moose Party), and tell me that ANY of that would fit into today’s Republican party! In fact, the Democratic Party platform (not “democrat,” as you wrote) for 2012 wasn’t that progressive!

Is Infrastructure Week over yet?

Spot on, Nick; sadly so!

Not a problem; we’ll leave it for the next Democratic president to solve. And when he doesn’t do it fast enough, we’ll retake the White House.

Go sit in the corner and wait for trickle-down?

Because Elon Musk will have a Mars colony ready to receive them right before the planet dies – they assume!

That’s the oldest deal from the bottom of the deck!

I think I’m gonna be sick…. :P
