President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

"And after refunds, the IRS collected about $93 billion more from individual American taxpayers than it did in 2017. Interestingly, that number stands close to the tax break amount that corporations received from the TCJA in 2018. Last year, big businesses paid $91 billion less in taxes than they had in 2017, prior to the new law’s passage."

HC-
I have never seen a Godfather film.
I remember George W. being slapped with the moniker.
'Dim Son' - I can't recall the author of the GWB bio - was the title that made me laugh.

Chris Cuomo strikes me as dude who was wearing Affliction attire 15 years ago before he had to go out and get a 'real' job.

 

Millennial Taliban too soft for jihad, Mullahs complain

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — As more and more young Afghans turn to television and social media, the Taliban’s leaders are worried its youth are no longer ready for the fight against the infidels.

“They literally can’t even jihad,” said one senior Taliban mullah, who is involved in recruiting and training. “The youth today are happy to like our social media but when we invite them to become martyrs they do not reply to our messages.”

“We have a saying in Pashto: Be peaceful in the cities and violent in the mountains,” continued the mullah. “Today the youth only come to the mountains to take Instagram pictures to try to become ‘influencers.’ They are posers in the mountains.”

“Oh, are you looking off into the distance? We get it, Hamid. The mountains make you think deep thoughts!”

Others senior Taliban worry that today’s Afghan youth are physically unprepared for jihad. Senior Taliban leaders who grew up fighting the Soviet Union endured starvation and hardship as youth. But as American aid and urbanized life have transformed the country, standards of living have climbed, and waistlines have grown.

“At least 70 percent of the teenagers we recruit are now too fat to fit in a standard Pakistani suicide vest,” complained a senior Haqqani network leader, who organizes attacks for the Taliban. “This has some benefits as we can now pack more bombs on a single attacker. But it is so disgusting to train them.”


“Also they require a lot more hashish and poppy for encouragement.”

“Today’s youth barely want to blow themselves up anymore,” complained another Taliban leader. “The really hard ones have gone off and join Islamic State’s Khorasan branch.”

“We are left with the floppy naan of jihad.”

 

Out of his mind.

 

It's really what all of this is about - his daddy never gave him love, no one ever gave the fucker an Emmy, and he was a film school reject

 

Next, he'll move onto the NFL, since he was repeatedly denied admission to its owners' club.

 

CNN has way too many "LOOK AT ME!" types. As much crud as they got for hiring the former host of "The Mole" - Anderson Cooper is the best broadcaster and newsperson there.

 

Trumpists have so much contempt.....for everyone.

When I was a lad we had the 'Scud Stud' on CNN - he was showy but he was also out gathering news, risking life and limb to do it.
In the old days of CNN the reporters were the stars, as the good Lord in his infinite wisdom intended for it to be.
Now we are presented Chris Cillizza as on-air 'talent'.
