President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Except the people of the land, the common clay of the new west, don't want to pay any taxes, at all, for anything.

 

Funny, I just got back from a reporting trip through rural Arkansas, and more than ever local libraries are the digital hub in these small towns.

Arkansas ranks 50th in connectivity. What a Broadband Preemption Victory in Arkansas Means For Rural Cities

And Clinton in particular seems to have no broadband to speak of.

Internet Access in Arkansas: Stats & Figures

In lots of rural and exurban areas, the library is where people go not only for basic information, but to find and apply for jobs.

And having basic municipal resources in place can make a huge difference in attracting and retaining population.

So yeah, paying slightly higher taxes for better libraries and better schools is an investment that might benefit everyone.

 

Maybe if they pooled their resources?

Great example here of not understanding how anything works.

Statements like these are one of the reasons I'm incredulous when journalists and former journalists remain inert in the face of Trumpism.



Especially in light of things like this:

Thanks for not giving a shit.

 

$52,000 a year is an exorbitant amount of money?

 

In Leaked Tape, Nunes Says Protecting Trump More Important Than Defending US

 

Amurrica Furst !
Imagine if a Democrat proposed reducing the National Security staff.
This should be an offense worthy of removal if it is proven to be an act of personal retaliation.

 

First, my condolences - on having to visit AR.

Second, maybe that explains her EMAILS!!!

 

White trash alleged taxpayers, and they probably pay little income taxes, can’t stand it when government employees make more than they do. Those drunk Crackers think they have common sense and therefore can do any job. School is bullshit indoctrination. So when they are making 12.75 at Piggly Wiggly 23 hours a week they don’t want anyone doing better. It’s not racism, it’s socioeconomic jail. If they can’t get out neither should anyone else

 

Yep. ... It's a lot easier to blame a few public workers for one's own plight than it is the complicated socio-economic circumstances and unchecked corporate interests in your community. Scott Walker knew this when he was governor of Wisconsin and went after the public unions while making failed sweetheart deals with international companies like Foxconn. There should be so much outrage about the latter, but it's easier to be angry at teachers and UW workers.

 

Republican politicians, especially the ones that espouse their Christianity, are pure evil.
