Trump MAGAThread V: March Comes In Like A Lion

[Ifreann]

Gotta undo everything Obama did.

And more. Every national monument created between 1996 and 2016 that protects more than 100,000 acres will be reviewed and possibly removed from the national monument list.

The Trump administration is going to be remembered for the most corrupt administration ever

Mr. President, we want to drill for oil in Teddy Roosevelt's head

This concerns me immensely.

Trump has now decided that's it's a good time to fuck with the National monuments, oh and a few military National monuments to boot.

Gotta undo everything Obama did.

Next Up: Trump Brings Back Osama Bin Ladin From The Dead.

"4 billion metric tons of CO2"

Yeah, no way that will effect the climate at all.

EDIT: For anyone who does not know, a metric ton is larger than a US ton.

Just means more demand for Trump Climate Domes.

I mean, Trump is trying to save the coal industry. To be fair, this will help petrochemical companies and coal producers to get access to more resources.

The problem is that coal is dying because it just can't compete with gas and nuclear, as well as renewable energy, so this is going to be Trump's greatest blunder in his presidency: failing to save an already dying industry.

Like when he tried to save Atlantic City.

This pisses me off so much. You start touching my protected lands, he can really go fuck off. Freaking asshole.

But I heard that congress is supposed to do this sort of thing, so...in before a court knocks it down too? Hopefully.

Lets be honest - when you have the words "four billion" in a sentence, it's already pretty catastrophic regardless of what you finish it with. I mean you could say 4 billion pounds, and it would be quite bad. Or 4 billion litres. Or 4 billion kilograms.

On the upside, what Americans call a billion is around one million times less than what most people call a billion, so it could be worse

Still :-

8,000,000,000,000 (US) vs 8,816,000,000,000 (met) (both are in pounds).

So - either way - we are royally screwed.

Except 4 billion molecules. That's not even a mole.

Trump to pursue large tax cuts despite large projected increases to the deficit: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/ ... 6-03-48-08

Is Mexico going to pay for the deficit too?

I still find it somewhat funny that Republicans can claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility but think they can reduce the deficit with tax cuts.

That's the thing, they don't think they can, they know they can't.

However, they're eager to please their funders, who are generally ultra rich Republicans who would benefit most from tax cuts.

They're the party who want to prove government doesn't work by constantly taking charge of it and running shit to the ground.

I guess 4 billion puppies would be kind of fun

4 billion moles, however, could cause quite a mess.

Yep.

And then they proceed to campaign around and target the people who benefit the least from their tax plans (Lower class, less educated, etc...) and get their votes to remain in power and continue fucking those people over, while raking a good chunk of the money that their funders are making from these cuts. It's an insanely dangerous positive feedback loop than has been causing problems for year now.

[Washington Resistance Army]

So do we have any actual details on these tax cuts yet?

[Ism]

So do we have any actual details on these tax cuts yet?

Only that they'll be biglier than Bush's. The bigliest ever, I suppose. Looks like we won't get any real details beyond that until the Republicans put something out.

The bigliest ever, you say? Hmm, here's hoping they don't fuck it up I guess.

You're not getting a tax cut, him and his partners however, are.

If there's cuts for small business and whatnot I'd very likely fall under that category once I actually get things running.

So here's hoping they actually make things a bit better for the little guys and don't fuck it up.

Protect the little guys? Trump might do the opposite after fucking with the National monuments

I'm sorry, you think Republicans actually want to help the little guys? You know there's probably some loophole or hidden plan that will inevitably hurt them, right?

Well, I reserve judgement until I see the proposal, but the implication that is applies only to corporations and pass through entities (IE, partnerships & s corps. could conceivably include estates and trusts, but I don't think that's what they had in mind).

This doesn't cover anywhere near the majority of small business owners, as this involves setting up a legal entity like a multi-member LLC or an s corp or an LLC that has elected to be treated like an s corp. Most small business owners are sole proprietors - which is not a pass through entity.

Now, this would prompt a lot of people (and very nearly 100% of my business clients) to form such an LLC or s corp, but that's not the same thing.

The Abomination known as Trumpcare is back from the dead and its even worse than before. The GOP representatives have exempted themselves from using it.
