A new Netflix original, and it's awesome! There are about 8 episodes. I don't know if it's a mini-series or will be a tv series with another season. But the last episode is an end, so if it ends there, it's fine.
A good watch from start to finish. Original (even though it has a premise similar to Groundhog Day...but on steroids), funny, sharp. raw. The lead actress, Natasha Lyonne, is perfect for that role. Amy Poehler was one of the writers, and that crazy wit shows.
Netflix hit another one out of the park.
So Montana Governor, Steve Bullock, might enter the Presidential race?
Just saw a news story on tv about it. He hasn't announced, and may not do it. But he might. A governor. This is getting interesting.

I know nothing about him. Montana. Protection of land, probably. Acknowledgement of climate change? Interesting. I wonder if he's a billionaire.
"It's official: The Trump tax cuts were a bust"
Right before Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, President Trump proclaimed:
Itll be fantastic for the middle-income people and for jobs, most of all ... I think we could go to 4%, 5% or even 6% [GDP growth], ultimately. We are back. We are really going to start to rock.
A year later, its very clear that the tax cuts boosted gross domestic product and jobs a bit and just for one year. Its effects are fading as U.S. GDP growth appears likely to weaken in 2019. The only thing that rocked were corporate profits and the stock market. And were facing trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see.

Is anyone not gullible who has observed our economy over years, surprised by this? Of course not. TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS is, as G H W Bush said, VOODOO ECONOMICS.
And now, we will be paying the price with a slowing economy, which hurts the workers the most. When something real could have been done to really help the economy. I'm so spittin' mad about the this and so many other things. It's not just Trump responsible. This was a plan between both ends of the Republican Party, from Trumpers all the way to the established Republicans.
Well, well, well. Howard Schultz and Russia are business partners.
I was wondering if maybe Schultz was wanting to make a bid for a big Starbucks in the future Trump Moscow Hotel. That would be one explanation for his odd decision to throw his hat in the ring. When I ran across this:

Well, isn't that special?
