The nation is split like never before

[ElmerMudd]

Yeah but the Nation was split long before Trump' nine months in office. What the hell did Barry Hussein do?

not like it is split, now.
Trump has empowered a group who felt they had no voice the past 20 years. They are under educated, under employed and blame the gains of minorities and a global economy as the reason for their loses. They are mad as hell and are going to get back at the minorities and foreigners.

Bull fucking shit

You Communists have been pulling this shit for well over 20 years. You spewed your hatred at Reagan in the 80's.

All that is different is that you were convinced you had won, and that the USA was to be finally destroyed under your hammer and sickle.

Then Hillary lost and the Republic won. Now you throw a fit because the dictatorship has been thwarted.

The truth can hurt

 

[Chuz Life]

Well...at least we have a meeting of the Fudd's here. I do not dislike nor like Trump, I see him as a result of conditions. He is a step toward what will eventually be a much more serious conflict. Things cannot continue as they are. Whether you are left or right...they cannot continue.

Yes "they" can continue and they will.

Our constitution has been under attack before and it will be again. I'm very fearful of what trump and the GOP says they will do but we WILL survive it.

.

I love it when proaborts claim to be all about Constitutional rights.

It's stupidly cute.

Elmer - there has never been a time when we were not scrapping with each other. That's not always a bad thing. Obviously, trump really wants his-self a race war but we all need to keep our eye on what's truly important.

That's the right we all have to peacefully protest.

Wd don't have to like what the other guy is saying. What we should be celebrating is his right to say to say it.

That's the true test of free speech.

.

Yep...real peaceful.....

The nation is split like never before.
You are either a Trump supporter or a Trump hater.
Trump supporters have no patience for Trump haters.
Trump haters have no patience for for Trump supporters.

The divide is so large and do not see how these two groups can ever come together.
Trump is doing everything he can to make his supporters support him more and his haters to hate him more.

No. The divides were considerably worse during the '60s and '70s.

 

[my2¢]

The national sense of unity after 9/11 was ripped apart by the decision to invade Iraq followed by racist coming out of the woodwork having problem dealing with Obama's presidency. Now we see the left toss a temper tantrum and refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of Trump's presidency. Still it's my memory that the nation was more split over Vietnam.

Man, you are seriously feeding the historical ignorance in this country.

This country has always been split - will always be split. It is no worse now than it was many times in the past. It is the nature of democracy.

Governing is an adversarial exercise. This is how it is done in a free society.

It is the nature of the beast.

This is what we do until we find a common enemy who draws us together.

Actually a lot of us trump haters don't really hate the economy right now. And a lot of us like them shrinking the government. And are tax breaks so bad? They did win the election.
What grinds my gears is 80% of poor don't vote and then they'll cry they want their Medicaid. Well then vote

Let me see.
1. The economy is mostly Obama's still.
2. Smaller government = less safety regulations on quality of food, water and air. Not a good idea.
3. Tax breaks for the people that have fucked us over and outsourced our jobs is a very bad idea. Giving them a bigger advantage to fuck over small business is a bad idea. I could support a break for small businesses of course, but not for the cheats.
4. Also consider that these people hate science, education and basic infrastructure. Is it really such a good idea to ever consider pulling the republican ticket?

The bigger the federal government the worse it is for small business. dumb fuck

I am laughing at you..If it wasn't for anti-trust put in place by presidents like TR almost all business would be done by a few massive corporations. lol, lol, lol

Anti-trust and unions made it possible for small businesses to have a chance. Dumb fucker.

Unions are all about anti-small business… No small business can afford union shit

You blame everyone and everything as causing you problems. Take responsibility for yourself and quit blaming everything but you for your problems. You are not a conservative. You do not believe in accountability.

Na, I don't exist for the federal government. It does not take a fucking village and getting along is overrated.
We really do not know what real freedom is... lol

At least half the world's governments are better...just by quick analysis. These are nations with very little government.

Government ALWAYS sucks besides being murderous, unjust, and down right stupid...and big unlimited government like the USA has today, SUCKS MAJOR.

Mexico has less government; an example of how more government can keep you safe.
If I thought there were countries with substantially better governments, providing better living conditions, I would attempt to move there.

Really? When was the last time the protesters numbered in the hundreds of thousands?
When was the last time we had protesters carrying the flag of our war-time enemy who was actively killing our people?

And instead of bringing the nation together, such as to help Puerto Rico, instead Trump divides it further with the NFL.

I remember the 60s and 70s very well. There were differences but not as personal. We now hate each other on a personal, visceral level.

I own a small business and I disagree. Do you own a business. I see so many small businesses fail. They blame it on the government. Most times it is because they are lousy business people. I am guessing you are an inept clueless business person. Blame all you problems on the government.

And lets be honest. Rustic isn't one of the people who are going to get Trumps tax break

Trump Promises A Tax Cut For The Middle Class, Guarantees One For The Rich
The only details released so far slash taxes for business owners and the richest taxpayers. Everyone else gets the White House’s word they’ll get a cut, too.

Trump Promises A Tax Cut For The Middle Class, Guarantees One For The Rich | HuffPost

President Donald Trump plans to unveil Wednesday what the White House is calling a “middle-class” tax cut but which at this point cuts taxes only for business owners and the wealthy.

Shareholders of corporations would enjoy a rate cut from the current maximum of 35 percent down to 20 percent, according to a White House briefing Tuesday. Owners of “small businesses,” who pay taxes on their individual returns rather than with a corporate filing, would pay no more than 25 percent, instead of the current maximum of 39.6 percent. And the wealthiest Americans would see that top 39.6 percent rate fall to 35 percent.

As for lower- and middle-class Americans, three Trump administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity would say only that Trump and House and Senate Republican leaders are promising to set rates and tax bracket thresholds so that those taxpayers would enjoy the most savings.

“This package is completely designed with the middle class in mind,” one of the officials said. “Tax relief in this package is focused on middle-class families.”

The details of how that would happen, though, is left to the House and Senate tax committees.

“We are not going to provide the specific income levels,” the official said. “We’re not trying to write a bill. We’re trying to provide a framework.”

The White House officials said the current seven tax brackets that range from 10 percent to 39.6 percent would be collapsed into three: 12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent.

Most deductions apart from home mortgage interest and charitable deductions would be eliminated, including the deduction for state and local taxes, which currently provide a major break on federal income taxes for residents of coastal and high-tax states.

Also eliminated would be the personal exemptions, which let taxpayers deduct $4,050 per person in the household.

The White House officials said these would be offset by an increase in the standard deduction from the current $12,600 per married couple to $24,000 and an increase in the child tax credit from $1,000 to a higher level.

Still, how much and even whether this would provide an overall tax reduction for a family of four is unclear. Currently, that family starts out with at least $28,800 of income exempt from taxes, thanks to the standard deduction plus four exemptions. That figure is nearly $5,000 more than the $24,000 standard deduction the administration is touting.

“If they’re not going to show any numbers, it’s impossible to know how this works,” said Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the liberal Tax Policy Center.

Wrong. I was a US soldier in San Francisco '68-'69. It doesn't get any more personal than that.
