And yet....here you are.

When it comes to billionaires benefiting from the generosity of the American taxpayer, the holiday spirit is alive year-round. Taxpayers paid out $115m to Donald Trump so he could play golf at his own resorts.
And Amazon didn’t just pay zero in federal taxes on $11bn in profits – taxpayers gifted the corporation $129,000,000 in rebates. That’s enough to pay for CEO Jeff Bezos’s three apartments in Manhattan, including a penthouse, that cost him $80m.
And what about government generosity for those who actually need help? Tax dollars are somehow much harder to come by when they’re not going to handouts for the rich. The average person in poverty, struggling to put food on the table, gets about $134 a month in nutrition assistance.
Now, just in time for the holidays, Trump has finalized the first of three policies that will make this disparity even more obscene. Two years after passing a $1.5tn tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans and large corporations, the Trump administration plans to strip 3.7 million people of their nutrition benefits.
The administration’s first step is to kick 700,000 adults off of nutrition assistance as they struggle to find work. The second step: trying to punish families who have high childcare and housing costs. And third, they want to hurt families who already are making difficult choices between food or heat.
Together, the three proposals will cut billions of dollars from one of our nation’s leading anti-poverty programs. Meanwhile, the Republican tax scam is working exactly as planned. Today, the richest 400 billionaires pay lower taxes than any group in America – including the poor. Nearly 100 of the top Fortune 500 companies now pay nothing in taxes.
This is what oligarchy looks like: Trump’s appetite to shower the ultra-wealthy with corporate welfare is endless – and so is his administration’s willingness to assault our nation’s most vulnerable and hungriest families.
I know one thing , he fascinates you proven by your contined interest in following this post.
Perhaps he is clever, as he certainly got yours and others attention , just look at the number of posts and comments it must be closing in on the biggest contribution of any one single issue on CCMB
Donny has you all fixated.
I can't speak for others, but I suppose I am "fixated" on Trump and it stems from a genuine sense of bewilderment. First at level the support for such an odious man, second at the hoops people who support him have been forced to jump through and the things they've had to ignore down the years to maintain their support for such a wrong un and now we have someone who is almost in the same league in residence in 10 Downing Street as well - and gluey thinks that it's people like me who are brainwashed.
I don't care about Trump. There are serious rule of law issues that affect the US and the rest of the world, which you and the rest of your crew seem quite happy to ignore, just because the media have got you on board the Orange Man Bad train.I can't speak for others, but I suppose I am "fixated" on Trump and it stems from a genuine sense of bewilderment.

And yet the evidence of the last four years or so on here shouts that you do care about Trump. It's been that long as well since you've been telling us about "serious rule of law issues" that, in terms of convictions at least, still come across as little more than conspiracy theories - the number of convictions arising from these issues is, I would guess, still a fair bit smaller than the number for Trump associates. I've forgotten, does your "trouble brewing in Washington" thread celebrate its third or fourth birthday in 2020?
Read the IG report, it documents lots of problems.
If there was no Donald there would be no Q,
Enjoy the show.

CBC deletes Trump scene from Home Alone 2 broadcast https://t.co/pB25Y2TCLA

“CBC responds to criticism that short scene featuring Donald Trump was deleted from movie Home Alone 2, which aired recently. Spokesperson says 'several' cuts made for time. 'These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected president,' ” CBC tweeted.
Rachel Maddow rooted for the Steele dossier. Then it fell apart.

Just a typical MAGA giving a Nazi salute.

C'mon Nancy what's occuring
God their a barmy bunch , lol.
If you listen the PM today he is favour of the current agreed nuclear deal and Trump opposes it .
I've always wondered why Iran wants a nuclear power , as its so oil rich and will be for a long time as the oil demand falls ,as the world moves move away from this kind of fuel , or is a bomb they really want before they become poorer .
The cartoon is ironic when you look at how Iran behaves to its people and its desire to build bombs, but hey you may not think they are a dangerous country or have been since the Iranian Embassy siege 20 years ago in London all of that was way before Trump and Boris .
Yes all that appeasement has worked over the last 20 years lets give them money and hope they dont buy weapons and behave.
The kid in the photo is the same one that some people on here were making very nasty comments about. He has just settled a deformation case against CNN, who attempted to destroy his good character. TDS can be very profitable!

The Iranian embassy siege was 40 years ago this year.
Not 20.
