as I personally can remember. To see it all dashed against the rocks - as the know-nothings cheer. They just do not get it. They're happy being mean and nasty and selfish and resentful of anyone else they think is somehow victimizing them. They are their OWN victims. One of these days they're liable to turn around and realize that all those nice tax cuts that these fiends talked up nonstop have gone somewhere else. The piddling pennies they've received will be more than overwhelmed by rising prices everywhere. Like at the grocery store - where all that produce will be less plentiful and far more expensive. They didn't want immigrants coming into this country, when many of them would take the menial, low-paying jobs in the fields and orchards and farms, jobs that they themselves think they're too good for. And if they get sick, that dreaded Affordable Care Act will be shredded into microfibers. So they'll be coughing up more money for that. Whatever tax "cut" they got won't even begin to offset those expenses.

And about those jobs? When Harley Davidson becomes only the first in a long line of companies moving their manufacturing overseas to avoid higher costs in this new era of punitive tariffs, gee - I wonder if some of these folks will even notice. Then they'll be told the Democrats did it. And they won't even realize that's a lie. Certainly the growing lack of funding to our public school system will contribute to their growing stupidity. But the CONS like that. The less well-educated the masses are, the easier it is to steer them as far down the garden path as possible. And force-feeding them the "company line" from Pox Noise and now, Sinclair stations, looks like the brainwashing is almost complete.



Today is the first day I've actually felt pessimistic about the future of this country. Thanks Anthony Kennedy. Thanks for a whole lotta NOTHING.
