Between the so-called 'tax plan' (which it sounds like many of the GOP are giving the side-eye), the North Korea willy-waving, the loss of some more public lands to potential gas/oil drilling, and the 'Freedom' Caucus reversing its stand on DonTCare II, it's been a helluva day. Cocktail hour is rapidly approaching here. Make mine a double!

2018.

Just keep that thought front and fore, Across. Smile

But I'll have a double, anyway!

The all-Senate meeting regarding the developing North Korea situation that lasted a colossal 14 minutes. Apparently it took them longer to get there and the coffees had not cooled by the time the meeting was concluded, because obviously it isn't a complex situation at all.

BTW, it's far better for Trump to bluff and climb down than just do reckless stuff to save face. So: yay?

.@POTUS tax plan is huge. Huge tax cuts for corporations/wealthy, huge deficit for country, and a huge disappointment all around.

Seoul is only 35 miles from the border God, yes, scary, especially as my DD is due to go there in the Autumn... Shock

Reading the meagre details of his tax plans, it seems to me as if every single change of his benefits the Trumps in every which way. Has all this gone through Across?

It's a few months old now, but still relevant, and I hadn't seen it before.

This is his latest...
Trump is holding ANOTHER campaign rally for 2020… it'd be a shame if Twitter took all the tickets & no one showed up www.donaldjtrump.com/schedule/register/harrisburg-pa2 … pic.twitter.com/0o9tt7sT5N

Grin The power of MN perhaps. I think I might apply for free tickets for this Saturday, of course I'll fly over to attend Grin

Lweji · 27/04/2017 10:08

While watching a reminder of Jared's to do lists, I'm thinking that perhaps instead (or as well as) of analysing Trump's first 100 days we should be looking at Jared's.

So, how is it going:
American innovation?
The criminal justice system?
Veteran care?
Opioid epidemic?
The entire federal government?

Peace in the Middle East? Grin

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 27/04/2017 11:21

He's seems like he's not being utilised enough lweji - I think we should throw in world peace (not just Middle East), curing cancer and going back in time to stop hitler Grin

I think we should open a book for which Nobel Prize the Trump/Kushners are going to carry off next year - or even this year ? After all, peace in the Middle East has got to put Jared in there with a shout at least? Wink

AcrossthePond55 · 27/04/2017 12:11

Roussette the tax plan is just a 'proposal'. Actually, it's just a single page suggestions but not how they'll be implemented nor what effect they'll have on government spending. Another of his "I have a plan but I'm not telling" bullshit things.

I like the part at the very bottom where it says there will be meetings with 'stakeholders'. As taxpayers I'd say 'We, the People' have a stake in this but I don't think any of us are holding our breath for an invitation. I'm sure the 1% and the corporations have already gotten theirs.
