Actually, instead of playing cheerleader, why don't you address what happened to my friend this tax season?
Can't answer as to why his friend didn't get as big of refund as last year, but the average refund is expected to be 8% less, which on average is about $70.  Most people received around $70 per month increase due to the tax cuts....so, I would much rather have an extra $840 a year and have $70 less on my refund, than the way it was under Obama. 

As far as Rasmussen....they was the MOST ACCURATE during the 2016 election over ALL the pollsters. 

So what else you got?




BTW!!!! GO TRUMP!!  :razz: :yes:

Stolen from a friend of a friend. The best description of Trump I have ever read.

Someone on Quora asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote this magnificent response:

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honor and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humor is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a sniveling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: "My God... what... have... I... created?"

If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I read it all -- and do believe he does not like Trump.  :wink:  I agree. I can't stand him -- but one line, so good,  made me laugh: "...he is a Shakespeare of shit ...."

Shakespeare of shit spews again today. You MAGA-ites now have your national emergency. . . So when our military is left ill equipped , FEMA without the funding to help those of us impacted by the climate change you all deny is happening, and millions die , at least we will be behind a wall. . .  :mad:

COMMON SENSE: This is a great day for the United States of America. Never in our long an illustrious history has a President been so vilified, so viciously attacked, and so consistently undermined as Donald J. Trump. Now that the Mueller Report has concluded with no further indictments, however, all of that is behind us.

For twenty-two months, almost the entirety of Trump's Presidency, the Mueller cloud has been hanging over him, but no longer. Despite constant harassment from the media, ISIS has been defeated, tax cuts have been implemented, and our economy is the envy of the world.

Because Mueller only hired prosecutors who wanted to take Trump down, now that they have failed, the Progressive Left cannot say Trump was whitewashed by those who wanted him to survive. Every lawyer on the Mueller team, as well as their FBI cohorts, wanted to "get Trump," but they didn't. They couldn't, because he isn't guilty of what he has been accused.

Trump never fired Mueller either, or impeded his investigation in any way. That didn't happen, and the Progressives, mean-spirited as they are, cannot say that it did. The Left took its best shot but came up empty. Now, it is our turn.

Without mercy, we must indict, prosecute, and imprison those who surreptitiously and illegally tried to circumvent the will of the people in the 2016 Presidential Election. We want justice; we demand it. Let those behind this plot pay for it by losing their reputations, their pensions, and their freedom.

Now I know you know what you just said isn't true...Obama was in the Boy Scouts compared to Trump...and Trump has STILL managed to keep nearly all of his promises and America is doing great.
