I'm kinda new to this but if it's gonna be effective 1/1/17 it feels like it's gonna be retroactive

Any good links that summarize the tax proposal? Curious what the brackets would be
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Just ask yourself one question. We know corporations and the uber wealthy would get $2 trillion in tax cuts. Who do you think is going to pay for it?

The Russian social media campaign largely caught/targeted celebrities to turn weaponized posts into MIRVs. Trevor Noah, Sarah Silverman, Ivankna Trump, etc., managed the store and forward to the masses for the Russians. All us cows took it from there.

I'm going to need a translation, or maybe a pie chart or boldly drawn red circles.

Example: Russians push a daddy’s a super good fellow because he hates blackish people to Ivankna, Ivankna retweets it, the drones spread the news to their friends. Then they told two friends, and they told two friends and so on, and so on.

If you want to be impressed, the Russians micro targeted the taste makers with divisive messaging they figured out they would take the bait, then they would ship an opposition message to the other sides taste maker, which they push out. All the like minded followers then go to work on spreading the word, and like a game of telephone, make it more incendiary as it travels down stream.

Amazing, Democracy for America pulled support and help for Northam because he said he wasn't for sanctuary cities.

1. He's stupid to say that

2. It's stupid to pull support

Let’s face it: They’re good.

Perhaps if they made their entire economy that they'd be in better shape and Putin wouldn't have to be so worried.

Richard W. Painter‏ @RWPUSA
The fix is in. They set up Sessions to take the fall. After he is gone, a new acting AG fires Mueller.

He's always on MSNBC. He was the chief WH ethics lawyer for the Bush administration.
