Trouble for tax payers around the corner:

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-tax-windfall-that-wasnt-20181101-story.html

I can imagine a lot of tax payers will be unhappy with the GOP and the President should this analysis be on target.
Imagine that. Shocking story.

In an interview with the Daily Caller conducted on Wednesday, Trump claimed people commit voter fraud by casting a ballot, returning to their cars to change clothes, and then going back to polling places in disguise to cast additional ballots.

“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump said. “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.”


I'm pretty sure Trump is confusing election day and Halloween.

He's still pissed that Marco Rubio hit the WH twice for candy, and then TPed the place.

Good to see you are reading various sites, Needs.

What do you think the answer is?

The answer is that McConnell is one of the most disingenuous people in the country.

Especially since the only thing he discusses substantially is how the Democratic House leadership should not investigate Trump.

He would be hypocritical, if he actually had any values beyond "say whatever he thinks will help him."
So, The House Democrats were elected to investigate Trump?
Not according to any poll you or Needs cited.

Actually, the poll did include that - almost as many folks were voting explicitly against Trump as were voting about Health Care
Wanna try that one again?

Sure.

Early results from the NBC News Exit Poll indicate that Democrats’ strategic decision to campaign on the issue of health care resonated with voters. When asked which of four issues was the most important facing the country, a 41 percent plurality said health care. The economy — which had been the top issue going back at least a decade — was cited by about one in five voters (21 percent), as was immigration (23 percent). A smaller share (11 percent) said gun policy was the most important issue.

At the center of the health care debate this fall was the Affordable Care Act’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions. When asked which party would better protect health care for people with pre-existing conditions, voters favored the Democrats by a wide margin — 58 percent to 34 percent.

More than two-thirds of midterm voters say that their actions this election were tied to their attitudes toward the Trump presidency, according to a survey from CNN. In that same poll, 26 percent of voters said they backed Trump, while 39 percent opposed him.

41% said that health care was their biggest issue. 39% said their actions this election were tied to their opposition to Trump.

Aren't you so glad you asked?

But your question, as usual, has nothing to do with the item you are responding to.

No, I frequently respond to your inane remarks, Redd. It has nothing to do with relevant substance, of which there was none.

And that lack of substance is illustrated by your dropping the topic after I pointed out its irrelevance.

I'm responding the bullshitter, not the bullshit.

The only news story I've seen today that tops the CIA medical experiments story for grossness comes out of Canada, of all places:

Because what you find funny I find destructive to our society. As hard as we have to fight to protect our vote from the GOP this asshole is undermining the very foundation of our electoral process.

He's not lovable.

He's a racist sociopath, who will say anything if he believes he can benefit from it, consequences, or those he hurt, be damned.

He's a terrible human being.

---Over all, the data shows that Border Patrol agents apprehended 50,975 people last month, the beginning of the 2019 fiscal year. Customs and Border Protection quietly released the new data on its website on Friday evening without comment.---

In five years without controls the entire population of Central America would be inside the USA. That is up from an average 35,000 the previous fiscal year. Latino folks love the Donald?

2 years ago I was inclined to dismiss the dementia theory.   Now,  reconsidering.  Trump's Halloween theory of voting reminds me of paranoid stories I would hear when I worked as a counselor, mainly from people with either TBI or neurological issues arising from drug use,  strokes,  or general cognitive deficits from aging.   Am really starting to wonder if we're seeing something similar to the last couple years of Reagan's presidency when his staff had to start covering for him as his Alzheimer's first started to manifest.   

The truly unfunny part of this is that I'm seeing many clues that Pence is developing a shadow presidency,  as his boss's mind frays and unravels.
