A 2020 calendar of Vlad has just been released.
Also a 2020/2021 one.
Vlad's ratings are sky-high.

Donald should release a calendar, then his ratings could soar to sky-high levels too.

A bad policy leads to dead bodies calendar. Trump can do at least a page a day of that.

Every time you hear dry, foreign-relations talk about Russia or Turkey or Saudi Arabia “seeking influence in the region,” whether the region is the Middle East or Eastern Europe, what they’re really talking about is dead bodies. That’s the way these corrupt, dictatorial friends of Donald Trump “seek influence.” They order military forces under their command to kill people. That killing produced dead bodies, lots and lots of dead bodies. Taylor testified that more than 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the Russians invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea. Estimates of the dead in Yemen run as high as 100,000, according to no less an authority than Fox News.

Must be time for Ward to say "LOL" and for Kid to tell us that we are going to far.

That's how they usually respond to the truth.

Trump is supporting and encouraging the men behind those deaths. And people like Ward and Kid are supporting and encouraging Trump and the GOP.

"LOL."

The trump kiss of death is still going strong. Edwards re-elected in Louisiana by more than 40k votes.

If he has the sense to step down before angina attacks turn into heart attacks, I would say smart move.   I can't, however, start applauding anyone having chest pains.   If that's what karma or cheeseburgers or an Eternal Something brings, so be it, but I'm not going to be gleeful about it. 

Good news about Bel Edwards, though.  Sort of.  He's pretty much a moderate Republican in a Democrat costume.  And he signed one of the nation's strictest abortion laws.   Still, it says 45 doesn't have a magic wand, and Edwards looks to be better for the state than the "outsider" he ran against.

In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing. What changed was the Trump administration’s tax cut — for which the company had lobbied hard.

Liz Warren should come out with a minimum 15% corporate tax rate.  No company should be able to zero out their tax bill when making large profits.  15% the base rate.  You make a profit you pay at least 15%. 

Would bring in  large chunk of money, and is easy to explain to regular people.  Exxon-Mobil makes a $3B profit and pays zero tax.  That's easy to understand.  They spend a million on lobbying to make Uncle Sam a sucker and pay no tax.
