[infamous114]

1. Trump could pardon Flynn

2. Trump could ask the deputy attorney general to fire Mueller.

Constitutional crisis time.

I think if that was the case, he would have not plead guilty and would have decided to fight it, then wait for Trump to pardon him

Im old enough to remember when ACA was offset with tax increases on capital gains

What yall gonna do with your $30 extra per pay check?

whats going on?

The tax bill looking like it’ll pass - Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, John McCain seem to be “yes”

Some of yall will get a small tax cut, some of yall will get a tax hike after you file

In a few years everyone making under 75k gets a tax hike.

Most people dont realize if the economy flat lines or enters a mini recession, that tax bill could add a lot more to the deficit.

They're already doing it. The tax bill has a trigger to kick-in cuts to social programs.

They're going to take a hatchet to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Most sane people would argue that these programs need more funding especially Medicare and Social Security with our aging population. Smh.

This country is turning into Gotham City.

Fox News Chairman Lachlan Murdoch Dismisses Criticism the Network Is ‘State TV’

21st Century Fox executive chairman Lachlan Murdoch today addressed the criticisms that Fox News is “state TV.”

The way Fox News covers President Trump in general, combined with the fact that the President frequently watches Fox & Friends and its other programs, has given way to Fox critics deriding the network as essentially state television — particularly in how it downplays bad news for the White House.

Murdoch appeared at Business Insider’s IGNITION conference today, and per The Hollywood Reporter, he took issue with that characterization.

“I don’t think that’s true,” Murdoch argued, pointing to Shep Smith as an example of someone at Fox who isn’t “behind the president.”

He continued:

When asked whether Fox News is “fair and balanced,” Murdoch pointed to The New York Times as an example of another organization that has a clear separation between an impartial news department and a partial editorial department. “Is The New York Times fair and balanced?” he asked.

He said that Fox News helps fill a gap in the center-right market, and that remains the company’s strategy.

“I don’t think that any media organization,” Murdoch said, “should be behind an individual.”

In the past week, Trump has taken to Twitter twice to praise Fox News, which led to Steve Schmidt saying, “He all but declared Fox News to be American state TV.”

A step in the right direction but I wouldn't exactly get excited just yet.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

How is that different than any other time? Low people on the totem pole always get fucked no matter what political party is in office.

Shit rolls down hill not up!!!

Far from righteous or a hotep and never said we need this. I just don't have an understanding of black peoples blind loyalty and love for the democratic party.

 

[Broddie]

There are ways his admin could spin & justify this. Ie: trying to build bridges with foreigners for diplomatic purposes etc.

People shouldn't get too excited just yet. More incrimination is needed.

Yep, automatic spending cuts, though sizable the GOP Will want more.

The american people were never asked to sacrifice fiscally after 9/11 - it was go out and spend $ while the government went from a surplus to a massive deficit. Truth is taxes need to be up for everyone and cut military before medicaid/care and social security (could just increase the social security limit to like $250k)
