Someone asked earlier in the thread "who is Tom Homan/what makes him qualified for the position", since Homan actions on Trump's policies are in the news this week.

Re: Trumpwatch 2.0

Democrats had majority the first two years of Biden s term. They did not repeal and replace the egregious Trump tax cuts. They did not need a filibuster proof bill to simply mark up the top bracket from 37% to 39.7 (or higher)%. In the 2017 TCJA, There were two or three other brackets also lowered ...

Re: Trumpwatch 2.0

here’s a question on the horrible 2017 TCJA “trump tax cuts” Joe Biden and Dems had majority for two years. TCJA was passed under a budget reconciliation bill, which cannot be filibustered for more than 20hrs under senate rules. So then why didn’t Biden and Dems re-set the tax brackets to those durin ...

I don’t see any employment history described in the story other than influencer and freeloader who squats illegally in US homes and encourages other illegals to come do the same.

Re: Is CBET operating at reduced power?

I like how when they simply cut to “country cottages” or some real estate Europe TV fantasy show right at 1pm. Cut right out of ongoing news conferences during transition from 12 noon CBC news to 1pm, whether it’s Trudeau or Ford or some other important govt figure. Cut them right off and cut out.No ...
