Arkie and DeeJay - thank you both so much.

Monnie - yes, that's just how I feel - as if I need more energy/focus for other things right now. And thank you, too.

And Lovedogs - perfect, I'm glad you posted it! I fully approve. There is actually a lot going on right now to post about - especially current immigration issues, the rowdy town halls all over the country, the Milo stuff, etc.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Kath, sorry for your loss. BIG hugs!

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!

Here is one for you.

But I cannot get it to c&p in the blue box.

 

[katharath]

Thank you, DF.

Ruby - your effort made me smile. Thank you.


I'm off of here for tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow. Goodnight, all

Woah... this could be a big clvster**** for a lot of people. Certain kinds of income are treated differently in terms of taxation (combat pay for instance). Plus, if you were stationed in different states you (may/probably) have to file in those multiple jurisdictions, the rules for all of which will vary.

I'm a CPA and I don't even do my OWN taxes! I can't imagine asking someone who doesn't nothing accounting related and with a potentially complex/multi-jurisdiction scenario to file themselves.

There are some companies with real live tax preparers that will give military personnel a discount, so hopefully they can take advantage of that. Having worked (briefly) for a tax prep company right after I because a CPA though I will say those people aren't always very good at anything outside of the very ordinary.

Good luck to those people.

Yes, the hiring freeze will be painful for some but it is necessary to actually get a handle on the out of control spending.

Yep, it starts out small. Cutting child care, cutting tax prep. But it will add up unfortunately.

How much does "freedom and individual responsibility" cost? Doesn't really sound like a solid plan?

And LOL to "no place in America for hatred and acts of prejudice" ...Except against muslims. Ok cool story bro.

Hmmm, do you think there's a connection between the liar-in-chief's tirade against the FBI and the FBI's refusal to bury the Russian connection story?

As I have read the story the FBI contacted the WH to tell them the Times story was incorrect.

excerpt:
Fox News has learned that McCabe indeed had initiated the conversation, asking to speak with Priebus for a few minutes at the end of an intelligence meeting last week. During that conversation, McCabe informed the chief of staff that the Times story was wrong.

He has made a massive mistake in making enemies of the intelligence community and the free press. I cannot see any future in which these moves don't bite him on the ass big time.

Not too long ago he was singing this story - guess he's not having success there yet, huh?

So very interesting that states can decide things - as long as they're things that Trump and his minions agree with.

So true!

 

[redwood66]

So advocate to change federal law. That is how it is done. Its still against federal law so how is that infringing on states' rights?

 

[katharath]

Trump says it's time for all of us to get off welfare, y'all!! (Having never been on it, I guess I'll continue...staying off of it?). Weird how we're at the lowest unemployment rate since the Great Recession - but in Trumpland no one has any jobs, I guess. Oh, except for all the people being paid to protest Trump. THEY have jobs, apparently? I wish someone would send me my check!

Oh well, as he told us last week, he did inherit a real MESS

I'm not talking about federal law, I'm talking about Trump. He has said multiple times that he believes states should have the power to make their own decisions. Yet somehow he changes his mind on that whenever it's a decision he doesn't like. My point was his hypocrisy.

Yep. Re: recreational use of marijuana in the states that conflicts with federal law. Sessions wants to stop recreational marijuana use -- regardless of what any state has decided.

This cherry picking will last as long as trump does.

Every time I see Session's name I'm reminded of the fact that Trump gave the AG job to a FULL ON RACIST. It is incredible. I have to stop and reflect on that before I can even proceed to whatever the actual issue is.

They all cherry pick based on their agenda. Obama did it with immigration.

 

[katharath]

Pic one is from his speech today - apparently "credible sources" are fine if HE wants to smear someone (see pic two), but today's Trump thinks you should have to "use names" (which implies that he knows nothing about journalism; is a complete idiot; or just a big fat hypocrite...all three, perhaps?).

Link to the time Trump called a reporter pretending to be one of his "alter egos":

Yessss, and we have posters here who deny that there is a correlation between the increase in hate groups and hate crimes due to scrotus and a good portion of his cabinet being racists and on record as having made racist statements and done racist things and as leaders of the nation set an example and give other racists the impression that they are more free to commit racist acts and doesn't mean in any way shape or form that scrotus and his cronies are responsible because there has always been racism and racists and hate groups and hate crimes. (I love a good run-on sentence, don't you )

 

[katharath]

I don't think I saw this one posted but honestly can't recall; if it's a repost, oh well.

This is really the bulk of what he sits around thinking about - how many voters he got, who likes him, who thought he would win - and it is pathetic. He wrote it at 4:20 am, after likely lying in bed all night replaying election night in his mind, over and over again.

The content is sadly nothing to smile about though.

This. WTF. Either Trump wants states rights, or he doesnt. The cherry picking is so insane. STATES RIGHTS FOR TRANS YOUTH = I don't want to lose votes of all the people who are intolerant so it's ok if specific states want to discriminate! But SMOKING WEED??? OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! FEDERAL LAW > STATE LAW FOR POT = I don't want to lose votes of all the people who think that pot somehow leads magically to opiod abuse. Which is funny, because if he gave 2 sh*ts about drug use he would put better regulations on addictive pain medications. But obviously that's not happening.

AND, of course the fact that we have a racist cabinet has NOTHING to do with the increase in hate crimes. Guys, we just need to give all the racist people a chance to show us how racist they are. And once they do, we will get told that they didn't mean it.

Sad but true. Example from dear leader himself:

Trump's "Muslim ban" that's not a Muslim ban except it is because he told Guiliani that it was and then he repeatedly called it a ban in his tweets but it's not racist and it's not a ban!

There, a run on sentence of my own

Did you all see this? The crowd at CPAC was waving around little flags with TRUMP in the center...only, it was the Russian flag.
