Serious question: how soon after he leaves office do you think Melania will divorce him? I'm betting it's filed before the end of 2021. I should start a poll... and a pool.

There's always some extenuating circumstance that fouls up the conservative myth about tax hikes killing the economy.
Just like there's always some extraneous reason for tax breaks not paying for themselves like they're supposed to.

Clinton and the Democrats transformed a deficit into a surplus and oversaw a great economic expansion. But according to conservatives it was all a fluke. Funny how that works. (George Dubya and his Republicans quickly restored the federal budget to deficits with massive tax cuts and an unfunded war).

America’s tax code no longer adheres to the core principle of ability to pay—the idea that taxes should be based on a person’s capacity to pay taxes.1 Instead, today’s tax code turns that principle on its head by letting the wealthiest of the wealthy pay virtually nothing on their gains. Not only are top tax rates on ordinary income low by historical standards, the uber-wealthy also stockpile increasing amounts of capital income while paying little or no tax on those accretions of wealth. The resulting negative feedback loop—whereby the rich use their wealth to influence the U.S. political system to skew policy in their favor, including giving themselves even more tax cuts—undermines democracy. In many cases, this allows economic elites to get what they want, even if a majority of citizens disagree.2 The TCJA is a prime example of this problem. The bill passed into law despite overwhelming public opposition to tax cuts for the wealthy,3 and some lawmakers admitted that the motivation behind the bill was to satisfy political donors.4

I like that Trump keeps claiming Democrats removed “under God” from the pledge of allegiance when it’s on ****ing video that he’s full of ****. I also like that his supporters are stupid enough to believe him.

I keep seeing this all over my facebook feed.

Lots of misinformation out there, and the gullible rubes believe it all. Scary times when 40-45% believe everything some mobbed up demagogue says, even if it's proven without a doubt it's a lie.
