Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Thanks, I'll take a look.

 

How many FAA agents will investigate this brazen display of contempt for the laws of America!?!

Donald Trump Could Go to Prison for 3 Years Because of His Plane

 

Love, accompanied by security camera footage, wins:

 

I just hope this false accusation of hateful cake decorating leads to a valuable conversation.

 

Exactly. Thank you, YF.

The words clash with the perimeter.

Match the freaking icing, for fuck's sake.

 

So Gov. Brownback's "real life experiment" to create a "red state model" of supply-side economics is taking a little longer to yield results than originally expected when he was elected in 2011. Now the state is in deep economic trouble and even Republicans are revolting.

I don't know how this went wrong. After all, he was taking advice from the genius Arthur Laffer.

Kansas loses patience with Gov. Brownback's tax cuts

TOPEKA, Kan. -- After he became Kansas governor in 2011, Sam Brownback slashed personal income taxes on the promise that the deep cuts would trigger a furious wave of hiring and expansion by businesses.

But the "shot of adrenaline" hasn't worked as envisioned, and the state budget has been in crisis ever since. Now many of the same Republicans who helped pass Brownback's plan are in open revolt, refusing to help the governor cut spending so he can avoid rolling back any of his signature tax measures.

If Brownback won't reconsider any of the tax cuts, they say, he will have to figure out for himself how to balance the budget in the face of disappointing revenue.

"Let him own it," Republican Rep. Mark Hutton said. "It's his policy that put us there."

Tax collections missed projections in 11 months of the last year. A growing number of Brownback's conservative allies want to scale back the tax cuts to ease the budget crunch.

Brownback took office on a pledge to make Kansas friendlier to business and successfully sought to cut the top personal income tax rate by 29 percent and exempt more than 330,000 farmers and business owners from income taxes. The moves were popular in a Legislature where the GOP holds three-quarters of the seats.

 

I will stipulate that you apparently know nothing about the provenance of the Laffer curve. Gold star for you!

 

Wrong.

 

Well, 7/11 and 9/11 do both involve lots of Middle Easterners, amirite?

 

72 virgins and 72 oz's in a Big Gulp. Makes you think

 

Wait, does this mean conservatives now like Whole Foods or that they don't?

 

We're a nation of cowards when it comes to such ...
