Wow something is going to pop in the Oval Office when this hit the shelves

AND I'm sure the Congressional offices will have their own levels of outrage to express.

Fitness for the Oval Office. Jebus H Keyrice.......

he knows the most UNFIT person to ever be in the Oval Office for at least the last 100 years.

That gene pool is seriously damaged.

If they lower the tax burden on the rich and corporations.....

and we still need roads, police and fire protection, schools for kids and so on and so on.

Who is going to fill the tax void when the rich aren't paying?

OF COURSE THEY WILL EXPECT US TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE.

And then send the Trump businesses a bill for all the expenditures

starting with day one of his tenure.

If he won't pay put a lean on any and all properties.

This is as good a place as any to let out some frustration.

I am a faithful DU reader and sometimes I post replies. Once already today while following a link I was blocked at the front gate (firewall). In this case the the Washington Post. I am not a subscriber and can't afford to be a subscriber to all the possible news sources. My internet browser has ad blocking on as a default. So more and more of what you want to read through to the linked stories will get blocked.

My dad was a newspaper man 80% of his working life. 10% he was a a sailor in WW II and the last 10% he taught printing in a educational setting in a state prison. We grew up reading the papers. He would bring home several copies so we all had the option to read it over breakfast or waiting for the bus.

I understand newspapers run on subscribers and advertising. But when ads become intrusive to the reading of a story that is to much for me. More and more online 'news' sites pepper the stories with pop-up ads that interrupt in mid paragraph with ads leaving the reader searching or waiting to finish the article

In the long run I don't and won't buy from their advertisers. And I won't even waste a moment going to a news site that shove ads in my face.

Local newspapers are starting to go back to covering local news supported by local subscribers and advertisers. Unfortunately many local papers have been bought up by national conglomerates that have national agendas that they are pushing as a matter of editorial policy. That's when local support dies off and local advertising goes away.

The formula that has always worked is being killed by national corporations buying locals and dictating the contents.

Rumor has it that she was dragged kicking and screaming.....

....... I won't do it!! I'm not apologizing to anyone.

Oh and by the way you pay more in taxes than those that work for a living. GOOD! Hopefully the day will come when you are paying 10 times what you pay now. And there will still be people who work 10 time harder than you and still pay more than their fair share.

Spoiled rotten greedy poor excuse for a human being.

Have a nice day!

What amazes me is that it took so long.

Took so long for them to realize that Liberty University has alway been out of the mainstream for universities. The only liberties I've ever seen from the Falwell's is spoken as hate and contempt for anyone who doesn't agree 100% with them. Using the bible and religion as a weapons for intimidation.
