I'm a proud progressive, I'm a boomer with a mental age of 25. I can quote scripture but do not believe in organized religions. I dabble in art and embrace science. I landed in New Orleans and love it. The Rest of LA can go swim in the swamps.

He was charged with over 90 counts of money laundering through his Taj Mahal Casino. Was he criminally charge under the rico statutes? HELL NO, HE WAS FINED, DECLARED BANKRUPTCY AND PAID .10/$1.00 OF HIS FINE CLAIMING HE WAS BROKE! AND OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THAT!

Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????

The Republican Party has lost all sense of humanity. ICE IS NOT THE PARTY OF FAMILY VALUES, INCARCERATING 2 MONTH OLD BABIES IS NOT DEPORTING THE MOST DANGEROUS CRIMINALS, MURDER IS NOT PRO LIFE. TRUMP IS NOT PRO DEMOCRACY. THE GOP HAS BECOME A PARTY WITHOUT HUMANITY OR CONSCIENCE!

YOU KNOW WHAT IS REALLY SICK? DONALD TRUMP JR IS MAKING A FORTUNE OF THIS ILLEGAL WAR STARTED BY HIS FATHER. I BELEIVE THIS IS EXACTLY THE PART OF BEWARE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX PRESIDENT EISENHOWER WARNED US ABOUT ALL THOSE YEARS AGO! CAUSING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO CREATE BILLIONAIRS.

Todd Blanche wasn't playing Tillis and Cornyn, They were trying to play us into believing they stood up for America and got a concession from Blanche that is meaningful. THEIR ACT FAILED BIGLEY! ALL THEY DID WAS DELAY DEAD CERT OF A BOGUS CONFIRMATION OF A CRIMINAL AS AG FOR A COUPLE OF LOUSY DAYS!

Because of Trump's illegal war with Iran is is gong to bail out Japan but still has no money for health care for Americans, and not plan for that "so much better, you won't believe how great my health care plan is than Obama's" that he as been promising for 12 years every two weeks!

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

In 1981 the lowest income rate was 14%, the highest tax rate on earned income was 50%, the tax on unearned income was 70%! That's until Reagan got hold of the pen and started giving away the treasury to the rich and asking the workers to fill the treasury instead.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

How sick the United States Congress has become when they allow the very richest among us to get away without paying taxes while the workers who actually make the cogs of the economic wheels turn & makes the rich richer, are taxed with not just what they owe, but also what the Rich owes?
