Perhaps not as yuge as we have been led to believe...

It's a great tax plan. Not bigly, but fenomenal.
In fact, shorter and simpler than in 1935.

However, ups!

Stock markets dip as Trump's tax plan disappoints investors

The markets just don't believe him any more - from a quick study.

@MaxineWaters
I just introduced the "No Russia Exemption for Oil Production Act" - the No REX Act. The bill blocks Trump from ever granting Exxon's waiver

Maxine Waters is one kick ass woman who has no problems whatsoever speaking her mind. I remember her from her LA days & time in the CA state legislature.

Just a question re DT's "Please tell me you still love me" campaign rally that will be fundraising for 2020 - what happens to the cash if he (by some miraculous indictment reasons) doesn't actually get to run?

At this point I don't care what happens to the money given by anyone who's silly enough to give their cash to Trump.

You have a point.

I know you are probably not at all interested but i have an update on my DH's Trump hotel issue. It seems that the hotel in question had been booked for him but i am proud to say that he asked his PA to cancel it and is now going to a different, non-Trump affiliated hotel. Good man!

Well done him.

I just don't know BTW, NorthWest. I would guess, though, that all eventualities are covered in the small print of the donation. (Likely, people would find that they'd actually given funds not to 45 but to the GOP who would, at their discretion, decide on any ultimate destination.)

Good for Mrbluesky!

Also on family matters, thanks for explaining about your brother, Natsku. Hope all goes as fairly as possible for him.

I can't resist it. One of the most stirring songs ever sung.

Just in case anyone thinks that Canadians are milquetoasts.

People Are Trolling Trump's New Anti-Immigrant Hotline With Reports Of Space Aliens & The Government Is Not Amused. www.buzzfeed.com/briannasacks/people-bombarded-trumps-new-criminal-alien-hotline-with?utm_term=.ff1OQELqb#.vjDao65N0 …

I read that last night. I see from that piece that yesterday was 'Alien Day' as well? (I didn't know that one.)

Do migratory birds count too? What about salmon?

Go mrblueskies!

Oversight Dems demand vote to force release of Trump's tax returns: hill.cm/grpfjef

You have to figure that as more and more stuff piles up, more and more are going to vote to force him to release the tax returns.

Ivanka Trump said the U.S. might need to admit more Syrian refugees, setting off a minor scramble in the West Wing nyti.ms/2pp3mAY

People are all pointing to this saying she's trying to be a more moderate influence. Bollocks. She's saying they need to discuss it - she's just splitting hairs and skirting around the issue - she at no point said the US needs to take more refugees.

No. But. (From that article.)

"Breitbart News, the conservative website formerly run by Mr. Bannon, posted an article about her remarks that sat atop its list of most-read stories on Wednesday. It was followed by thousands of comments questioning Ms. Trump’s commitment to the populist causes that propelled her rougher-hewn father to the White House."

Just listened to Geo Stephanopoulous (sp?) interview Mnuchin about the tax 'plan'.

I was yelling 'BULLSHIT' at the screen so loudly, I woke DS2 up. His bedroom is upstairs!

I wouldn't bother, Across. It's all a syllabub.
