Drudge needs to pull his panties out of his buttcrack and wait til Trump has his Cabinet and can get things moving.

I have no idea why the GOP Congress is dragging its feet on practically everything we fought for and everything they said they stood for.

Because the GOP hates Trump as much as the 'Rats do.

Do they not understand people are hurting? ......

They don't care.

In Washington, real power is being a gatekeeper to endless increased spending. Some real casualties need to pile up on the GOP like cord wood in order to make the point of change.

IMHO we can’t have tax cuts and still support all the starving babies born to single mothers.

We aren’t supposed to make decisions based on emotion and feelings.

My Congressman is Kevin Brady, who is the chairman of the House Ways and Means committee. He gave many town hall meetings last August pushing his "income tax on a postcard" plan. I attended one.

I guess that was just a reelection ploy?

As a side note about worthless tax cut promises by RINOs, please consider the following.

Patriots need to support Pres. Trump in making it clear to the corrupt, uniparty Congress that the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers don’t give Congress a choice in tax cuts imo.

From related threads …

More specifically, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-lmited powers. This is evidenced by the following excerpt which the states need to amend to the Constitution imo.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


When Trump and patriots put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes then the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with, each state establishing its own healthcare program for starters.

Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Remember in November ’18 !

Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.

Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.

Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.

While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.

They do hate Trump and they do not want to give us a tax cut. The tax code is power and they hate giving up any power. A tax cut will give Trump a huge boost which these people do not want. So l think the chances of a tax cut and simplifying the tax code simply are pretty slim.

The only way the swamp gets drained is if people stop electing swamp creatures like Paul Ryan.
We kicked one out like him, his name was Eric Cantor.
More districts need to do that or nothing will change.

Trump should tell every GOP opposition he will hold rallies in each of their districts against them. Run them out.

Great idea, and let's get FReepers mobilized for yuuuge turnouts.

No, I didn’t check Drudge, but I was watching Tucker Carlson’s show. Har!

I went directly to Twitter to blast “Butch” but she was already getting mocked and thanked so I piled on for a few minutes and then I let Geraldo have it because he’s such a smarty-pants slimebag.

This entire tax return release has blown up in Butch’s face. At least, it has on Twitter.
