Donald Trump was for Barack Obama before he was against him. Trump now calls Obama “the worst president in the history of the United States.” In 2007 when Bush was president, he said the exact same thing about Bush (video below). I don’t think Donald Trump is aware of anything but what’s happening right now. And that makes him a typical American businessman.Trump’s positions, opinions, and statements have no consistency. He has been for abortion, then against abortion, for universal healthcare, then against it, for stimulus spending, and now against it. With that kind of flip-flopping, he really should have been John McCain’s running mate. Trump was correct when he was extolling universal healthcare. But that might have only been the kind of correct that a stopped clock shows twice a day.
Rush Limbaugh keeps pushing the meme that the bottom 40 percent don’t pay any federal income tax. Why don’t those people have to pay taxes? Well, for roughly the same reason that people who don’t have cars don’t get parking tickets. They don’t have any money! Coming up next, Rush Limbaugh wants to know why no turnips are donating blood.
Fox News has also been endlessly repeating the talking point that 40 percent of Americans pay no taxes. Of course, they don’t want to just repeat the same chant… so they raise it to 45 percent. then they round up the 45 percent to say that “half the country” doesn’t pay any income tax. How much do you want to bet that most of the people who are watching Fox are the people who aren’t paying any taxes… and most of them are livid that there are people out there not paying taxes!
The California Republican official who sent out an email picturing President Obama in a family of chimps is apologizing but refusing to resign. And the Orange County Republican Party claims that their bylaws prohibit them from holding a vote to remove her. Oh, so NOW Republicans suddenly have to follow rules. Great—Republicans in Michigan think they can replace any elected official on a whim, but Republicans in Orange County are claiming they can’t even remove racists from their own central committee.
