    That is the "Triumph of Politics" which is the name of David Stockman's 1986 book on the Reagan Administration tax reforms. We are still waiting for the $3 spending cuts per $1 tax increases from the Democrats.

    Care to try again?

    "How about Fatso retaliating against a decorated soldier for telling the truth about his lying ass? How about Trump giving 85% of the tax cut to people making more than $400,000 per year after he promised he wouldn't when he was running for office? How about the Orange Oaf intervening in the sentencing of Weirdo Stone?"​

    I fully understand getting Vindman out of the White House even if what he did was honorable and what Trump did was dishonorable. What's sickening is Vindman getting perp walked out the door. My two uncles, one a USAF Colonel and the other a USA Major General, and my father-in-law a USAF Colonel were people of the highest integrity, as is true of our military generally. I'd bet plenty that perp walking Vindman was the last straw for General Kelly, another honorable guy.
    Not according to Mueller, a Republican appointed by Republicans.
    So much for the rule of law and truth among Trumpers.

    Tell that to Peter strozk.. the man in charge if the investigation, he wouldn't know law and truth if it bit him on the ass.
    He intentionally used false information to cook up the whole Russian hoax and he dud it on the DNCs orders. Aka Hillary Clinton's orders.

    Do you want to control what I do? Maybe I can pretend that Trump didn't say that the budget doesn't matter. You want me to do that?

    The statement is absolutely true. Trump promised he wouldn't cut taxes for rich people, then turned around and gave 85% of the personal tax cuts to people making more than $400,000 per year.

    Mueller is a Republican.

    "Robert Swan Mueller III (born August 7, 1944) is an American lawyer and government official who served as the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 2001 to 2013.​

    A graduate of Princeton University and New York University, Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, receiving a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart. He subsequently attended the University of Virginia School of Law. Mueller is a registered Republican in Washington, D.C., and was appointed and reappointed to Senate-confirmed positions by presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama."​

    Me neither. Never heard that.

    But they loved Mueller as the best thing since sliced bread when they got him started, and then bad mouthed the hell out of him when he couldn't deliver.

    What he is registered at is meaningless. I was a registered Democrat until 10 years ago.

    Certainly not a link to your claim about taxes.

    I'm tired of lying pols--one of whom...

    [​IMG]

    ... I didn't vote for or support.

    As an economist, I agreed with Trump saying he wouldn't cut taxes for rich people. They don't need or deserve a tax cut when they greatly profit from corporate tax cuts that were justified.

    Tax cuts for people making less than $400,000 a year could have averaged six times higher if the brackets at the top had remained the same.
