You can't lose your balance if you're already lying in the gutter.

That's "Mike" Bolton, Dok. POTUS said it, so it must be true.

I dunno. I think he's making it quite clear that he does not intend to do it in the past, so that probably rules out the Obama time machine.

"Now, with 5% more [important stuff]!"

Five percent more than what? Their biggest rival? What they had in the last iteration? What doctors said was the minimum necessary?

Aaargh!

I will try to translate these to USian; there is always room for one more set of impossible but scathing assessments in long tirades. Still, we have need for short and euphonious phrases. My favorite for some years has been simply "Jesus Fried Christ on a stick!"

Sometimes I try to be more inclusive by simply saying "Jesus Mohammad and Buddha!" which technically isn't even cussing but witnesses always seem to correctly hear the blasphemous intent.

Now that I think about it... if Yahweh was the father of Mary's first child, and Yahweh and Jesus are the same... How about "Holy motherfucking Christ!"?

Whatever "tax break" that people are getting can't be really sorted out until their 2018 taxes are filed. Maybe they've just had their withholdings reduced now so they'll get some more take-home pay now, but less of a refund or have to pay more next year when they file. Are there Wonksters with decent knowledge of middle earner income tax situations who could share an informed opinion?

Let's not forget, those news outlets are owned by giant corporations that are part of the 1% and are doing pretty damned good under the Doturd.

Stephen Miller told him to say it because it'll really trigger the libs.

It's probably pointless to ask why the GOP House, Senate, and White House forgot to consider the middle class in their last tax cut, but I'll pretend I don't know, anyway.

And this is doing quite well on behalf of the money that did it.
