Dick Allen Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Trump seems more interested in Puerto Rico's "massive debt" than saving lives. You would think massive debt would be a merit badge to him since he has so much himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the main point Sharpe was making in this video. Why was this finally the line for NFL owners to show "unity"? Because they're wealthy men who don't like being told what to do and how to run their business. This is morphing from being about police injustice into being about Trump or free speech. edit: what Jenks said above, too QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 01:50 PM) Good statement from Shannon Sharpe on all of the hypocrites in the NFL now taking a stand against him https://twitter.com/TrillestAC/status/912340644789719040 Edited September 26, 2017 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to say it has something to do with the makeup of the people there, based on Trump's long documented history of not giving a flying eff about POC.

StrangeSox Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 https://www.buzzfeed.com/adolfoflores/peopl...VyWz#.qhP6dzr15 WASHINGTON – Federal officials are planning to collect social media information on all immigrants, including permanent residents and naturalized citizens, a move that has alarmed lawyers and privacy groups worried about how the information will be used. This is pretty f***ed up. Collecting social media data on even naturalized US citizens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why would it hurt to relax some rules and let foreign ships in a little easier to help these people if Trump doesn't want to spend the money for no votes at the end of the day? He's practically treating Puerto Rico as a foreign country anyways. Edited September 26, 2017 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I just wonder how he is going to pay for these "tremendous" tax cuts he's selling now. Is getting rid of loopholes that lower your tax burden, so you wind up paying the same amount or more of tax really a tax cut? He'll sell it as one, and the idiots with their made in China Trump swag will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) It's (partially) raising the bottom rate from 10% to 12%. but as we saw from dumping an extra $89 billion into the Pentagon recently without a single person asking "But how will we pay for?!", nobody actually cares about the debt or the deficit except as a cudgel to beat the opposition's policies with.

Whatever they do, the richest of the rich will get a nice break, someone who can't afford to be screwed will get screwed, and they will claim they will be paid for by some BS which will only increase the debt, something republicans have said over and over again can't happen, but in true republican style, it can happen if they get the benefit.

greg775 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Here's an interesting point IMO. Trump may be one of the most unpopular individuals in US history. Right now he's pretty much despised by all people around the world and all Americans. Yet in a total 2017 non sequitir, he won the election for President of the United States. I won't take a pot shot at his esteemed opponent (again; it's well documented by me why I feel Trump prevailed) but only in 2017 can this happen. By that I mean a truly despised individual winning the oval office. He's pretty much drawn the ire of every country's leader outside the USA. The U.S. sports world and its legion of fans despise him. Everybody hates Trump except for his family. The people who work for him can't possibly like him. Now they like having a job and all that, and properly kiss his butt (as we see in the working world every day) but everybody despises this man and yet just a few months ago he won the presidency. Oh my gosh, what a world we live in. p.s. Somebody tell Donald to kill his twitter account. After a week he'll feel better not being on Twitter.
