I think many left-wingers are just getting very desperate. Reality is sinking in that there will be a very conservative freedom-loving President until January 20th, 2021 at the very least.

Very strange how tax cuts and less regulation are now constituting a fascist agenda according a certain segment of liberals.

All that President Trump has ever proposed is to protect America from terrorism, letting people keep more of their own as opposed to politicians and cut red-tape.

The liberals make no sense, since when is giving more freedom and letting them keep their own money resemble a fascist regime?
All the left has is juvenile name calling!

Is this post supposed to be informative and on target about the OP's post?

If you have an opinion, state it and don't just make an accusation and run.

Trump has had to go to the dems to get anything done at all, because he attacks his own party almost daily.

Trump is the first POTUS in modern history to FAIL to pass his major legislation first time! every other potus has done it. Bush, Bush carter, Obama, ford, nixon ,Reagan ..... all of them got it done first time !

what is worse, Trump has failed 3 times on his big bill, so it is now a matter of historical record that TRUMP is the only one to FAIL and he FAILED again and then FAILED again... i am guess trump's record for failure will stand for our entire lives...


Worried? NOPE, we were worried that Trump would be an effective dangerous POTUS that would get things done. But it turns out the only thing we have to be worried about is 1 Trump starting wars and 2 Trump getting replaced by someone who can do the job. either of those would be really bad for the dems.
" and so far Trump has managed only to appoint judges, everything else has been a complete failure."

You only believe this because it is the narrative from the LSM.

Do at least a LITTLE research and get educated, or stay ignorant.

I'll even gibe you a start:

Supreme Court justice confirmed.

Trump signed MORE bills into law since Harry Truman, in his 1st 100 days.

And I'd BET you did NOT know that because your sources of "news" did NOT report it.

I never compared them to Nazis but tax cuts aren't necessarily good if they're given to those who least need them, paid for by those who do, and eliminating regulations for no other reason than eliminating regulations is as stupid as creating regulations for no other reason than creating regulations.

What "more freedom" has actually been given by a WH that tells us questioning a four-star-general (or anyone else in power for that matter) is 'inappropriate'?

Change your source for "news".

So they'll still pay. Alternatively, they could be like Swede billionaire Ingvar Kamprad (founder of IKEA) and countless other rich Europeans. Simply live elsewhere and pay not one thin dime in taxes to the country that issues their passport.

Note that even though Kamprad paid no taxes to Sweden, the Swedes still had national health care and all their other government-supplied perks.

Why? Because in European countries, 'the little people' pay taxes. The rich simply live elsewhere, and don't have to pay.

That said, I don't agree that conservatives truly want few regulations. How is that reconciled with their clamouring for regulations on things like adoption (no same sex parents), reproductive rights, draconian anti-personal drug use stances, definition of marriage, right to die laws, etc.

Apples and oranges.

There are "good" regulations and "bad" regulations.

If you don't know this already, we CANNOT have an honest discussion.

It is a purposeful way to end any rational discussion as they have no facts, nor logic to back up liberal/progressive policies. They have always failed. So they discredit the other side with accusations, and names. Yes the race card, and the Nazi card is ALL they have.

"Given his penchant for using EOs"

MOST have been to CANCEL Obama EOs.

Trump has LONG way to go to pass Obama's number of EOs.

Did you complain about Obama number of EOs?.

I doubt it!

"but why cut taxes for the 1%."

I am NOT surprised you would ask this question.

Read this real SLOW. BECAUSE THEY PAY THE MOST.

Around 90% of ALL federal income taxes are paid by the top income earners.

eaven forbid we lower the taxes for those that ACTUALLY pay the MOST taxes.

I know, you don't comprehend!
