In 2015, Grover Norquist, who has successfully defined unconditional opposition to taxes as the defining tenet of party orthodoxy, waxed enthusiastic about one state in particular that was leading the way for the nation. “Kansas is the future,” he told an interviewer. “Kansas is the model.” Kansas was the state where Sam Brownback, the former congressman who mentored a young staffer named Paul Ryan, implemented supply-side tax cuts that, Brownback promised, would usher in prosperity and fiscal stability.

Now Brownback’s tax cuts have failed so dramatically and incontrovertibly that the state’s Republican legislature overrode Brownback’s veto to eliminate them. Incredibly, a majority of the Republicans in both chambers of the state legislature voted against the tax cuts. In a new interview with Russell Berman, Norquist insists the failure in Kansas does not tell us much at all about anything. “If you’re a Republican looking for a model,” he says, “Kansas is not the model.”

[dreamer23]

dude is delusional...he needs a mental health evaluation asap...dude can turn "honesty" to "honest loyalty"...then comey releases non classified memo and now he's a "leaker"......

edit....everyone around him needs the same evaluation...

President Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski calls James Comey 'the deep state in Washington'

“He is the deep state in Washington that is everything that is wrong. He admitted under oath that he gave his contemporaneous notes to a law professor," Lewandowski told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview today on "Good Morning America."

DA DON WON YESTERDAY. All Comet has was conjecture and innuendo rather FAX B. COMET was low energy yesterday.

But he was spitting straight FACTS on FAX on FOX NEWS yesterday when it came to Loretta Lynch. He really let her have it! We need to go based off Cosmo Comey's brilliant testimony on Lynch and put LYNCH, CROOKED HILLARY, AND SLICK BILL in prison RIGHT NOW.

Every other word out of his mouth was nonsense and CROOKED COSMO COMET COMEY should be put in prison FOR LIFE immediately B.

That way "da cloud" can be lifted and our dear dapper don can get back to da business of building da wall, keeping us safe, bringing back OUR jobs, and running this country like it's a fortune 500 company! JEEZ. And last but not da least, bringing DA COAL BACK BABY!

The "champion of the working class" on the campaign trail is sure sounding much more like a champion of wall street in practice...

The jig is very real

Well said B. We NEED TO LOCK UP LYNCH B. The terrible things she did in Da OBUMMER years was astounding B. Fox news in Da only news B. Makes me sick how COMET tried to get on the good side of REAL AMERICANS on FOX NEWS after he Slandered DA DON. COMET DIDN'T TALK ABOUT DA COAL, HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT DA RUST BELT AND HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT CROOKED HILS B. DA DON was being honorable by inviting COMET TO dinner and look how Da turncoat treated Da Don B. What wouldn't Da Coal Brothers do for a one on one dinner of well done steak with Da Don B? I'd forego earning Da Black Lung for Da opportunity B.

Some quotes from the article:

After months of protests, more than 750 arrests, and high-profile interventions by both the Obama and Trump administrations, the first part of the battle over the Dakota Access pipeline has ended.

Oil is now flowing through the pipeline—and, crucially, beneath Lake Oahe in North Dakota, which is sacred to local Lakota and Dakota people and their only source of water.

President Trump drump cited the pipeline’s completion as a political victory on Wednesday.

“The Dakota Access pipeline is now officially open for business. A $3.8-billion investment in American infrastructure that was stalled. Nobody thought any politician would have the guts to approve that final leg. And I just closed my eyes and said: ‘Do it,’”

“It’s up, it’s running, it’s beautiful, it’s great. Everybody is happy, the sun is shining, the water’s still clean,” the president added. “When I approved it, I thought I’d take a lot of heat. But I took none, actually none. But I take so much heat for nonsense that it probably overrode the other.”

Archambault says he is not optimistic about the case’s outcome, but that the tribe will appeal any ruling. “How can one be optimistic when we know the judicial system in the United States is founded on the doctrine of discovery?” he asked.

The doctrine of discovery, affirmed by Chief Justice John Marshall in Johnson v. Mc’Intosh in 1823, says that indigenous people lost their claim to North American lands when they were occupied by the subjects of a European Christian monarch. Though widely criticized, the legal concept has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court as recently as 2005.

“When we first entered into this, we understood the history, we knew the facts, we knew the laws. We still have to bring it up. Because just because it’s legally right, it’s morally and ethically wrong,”

Repped you both.

These topics are important than the Trump bashing we engage in here (it is funny, he is not the only one who wants to rob us and leave us dead in the desert. It's a whole gang of them)


About the quoted texts, remember the hypocrisy and the real contempt shown by republicans to the rest of the nation in 2018.

Remember and show that to your children and grandchildren, lest they get seduced by the talks of "freedom and riches" the GOP will forever campaign on.
