While all the TrumpNooz has been dominating the media, there has been a major sea change . . . .

. . . . . in GOPLand. The talk now is of resignation to losing the House, to the point of not doing any serious funding of some House races. Instead, the GOPee, sounding desperate, is talking about "trying" to hold the Senate.

Aw gee, fellas. Too sad, huh?

is the GOP in itself. Secondly,the American Public is starting to be awaken. If anyone was paying attention this past afternoon,one major story popped out,and it was not about Mueller. The Story was about 80% of the so called Tax cuts go to Foreign Investor Types.

Think about it,80% of our Nations Tax Cut Revenue going to someone outside our Borders. Mean while we are about to see some of the largest Price Increases hit those who can afford it the least.

They should have thought twice about shopping in Putin's Pottery Barn.

with the millions that they'll reap from the tax cut, there will be millions of 'leftovers' as they want. I'll take whatever gains can be made against a gob majority in either house, and wins point good direction...we need a different majority to repeal a lot of the damage that has been done...

is not in the millions, it is in the hundreds of billions, probably over a trillion easy. Just since 2000, trillions in wealth have been sucked out of the bottom 90% and went to the top 10%, and most of THAT went to the top .01%

What Putin did to the 2016 election as pretty much an amateur's first time out, he's had 2 more years of non stop training for his hackers...We may see something jaw dropping on Nov.6.

Trump wants troops on the borders, because he needs them to be able to INSTANTLY go into the cities of Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Houston under martial law when riots break out after it's announced Republicans won in those places.
