I can’t believe so many are giving what seems to be a pass to Trump/Sessions for what amounts to playing ‘footsie’ with Hillary.

Indictment - trial - conviction - jail (or something more severe). This is not a game. People have died and/or have their lives ruined forever because of her. Our relationships with foreign governments and foreign policy have been seriously damaged as well.

yet she’s allowed to go on as if she did nothing but lost an election.

The USA cannot be the land of the free; the home of the brave if the rule of law is ignored for a chosen few.

What good is a tax cut if we live in tyranny?

exactly. Trump needs to call sessions in for a chat and suggest to him strongly that he now needs to appoint Rudolph Gulliani as a special prosecutor to go after hilliary.

regarding the tax “cut”: it is a disaster for Trump and other republicans come 2018 and 2020, because it is going to be a reminder of obamacare, where obama promised everyone they would save $2500 and could keep their doctors. this supposed tax cut is in reality a tax hike on the middle class deplorables who made Trump our president.

the elimination of itemized deductibles is poison to the middle class tax payer brought to you by goldman sachs advisors, and is being offered up to satisfy the CBO take on offsetting the loss of revenue from the permanent tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy.

the proposed almost doubling of the standard deduction , but the elimination of the individual personal deductions for yourself, your spouse and your dependents is giving with one hand and taking away with other. and the bills are also eliminating the extra deduction if you are over 65 or are blind.

once you take a standard deduction, you cannot then itemize deductions such as medical expenses, state and local taxes, property taxes, mortgage interest, moving expenses, tax preparer fees, alimony, moving expenses, student loan interest, dependent care assistance accounts, etc.

take a look at who benefits the most as individuals:

“...the highest-income taxpayers (0.1 percent of the population, or those with incomes over $3.7 million in 2016 dollars) would experience an average tax cut of nearly $1.1 million, over 14 percent of after-tax income. Households in the middle fifth of the income distribution would receive an average tax cut of $ 1,010, or 1.8 percent of after-tax income, while the poorest fifth of households would see their taxes go down an average of $110, or 0.8 percent of their after-tax income.”
