I find it funny how quick the Roy Moore crowd is to jump to “voter fraud”. Alabama has historically had some of the strictest voting laws in the whole country. Keeping people who aren’t rich, white and/or Christian from the voting booth is practically a sport there.
One of my favorite news stories of the last few weeks was hearing that just prior to Fox/Disney merger, Trump called Rupert Murdoch to ask if Fox News was part of the deal. I just love the idea that Trump would make a panicked phone call, afraid that the only news outlet that likes him would stop sucking up to him.
The Washington Post has noted that Trump has defended southern Confederate monuments as important to American history while ordering that Native American monuments in Utah be shrunk. Some might call that hypocritical, but I’ll settle for despicable.
Just prior to the election, Sarah Huckabee Sanders famously said on Twitter, “When you’re attacking FBI agents because you’re under criminal investigation, you’re losing.” Now her boss is attacking FBI agents because he’s under criminal investigation. Man, her life must be a big goofy mess.
The justification for this scam of a tax bill is that the permanent corporate tax cuts will incentivize corporations to make new big investments spurring salary increases and new jobs. And I keep reading articles that have company heads and CEOs claiming that this will in no way make them interested in doing that. They’ll mostly use the breaks to do what they’ve always done: boost shareholder profits. So I find it awfully bold for people like Paul Ryan to insist that corporations will absolutely do something that they have no financially good reason to do.
I don’t know if that they’re that morally bankrupt, but it would be kind of funny of they were…
