And do not forget,... REVENUE NEUTRAL!

Naturally when the supply of millionaires fails, and it will, the hacks? definition of millionaire will become anyone who makes over, say, $40,000 a year. But logically, how can you simultaneously promote both a progressive income tax and regressive tolling for people who can?t afford to live in the city?

Answer: You can?t.

Revenue neutral is as big a fraud as a ?sun-setted? tax, which theoretically means that when the purpose of said tax is realized, the tax ends. Example: When the bonds that financed the original Mass Pike construction were paid off, the tolls would come down,... In 1988.

How?s that ?sun-setted? tax working out for you?

Another myth is ?earmarked? taxes. Remember the automatic gas-tax increases that these same DOT hacks were promoting in 2014? All the additional funds ? 100 percent ? would have supposedly gone to repairing the so-called crumbling infrastructure.

Talk about taxation without representation. Around here, taxation with representation is odious enough.

Not my words,.., but my song!

Hi Folks,

Patriot's Day tomorrow. Go out and salute a flag.

California's latest Fuddle Duddle

?People are actually ridiculous enough to bring up comments about our cop cars having American flags on them.?
? Councilman Peter Blake, Laguna Beach, Calif.

Attorney Jennifer Welsh Zeiter said she thought the police cars were ?exceptional? and suggested that the opposition might have a political motive. She said some people are so filled with hate toward President Trump ?that they cannot see through their current biases to realize that a police vehicle with the American flag is the ultimate American expression.?

"We will not raise tuition fees"

"fees" and taxes, which are pretty much the same thing when collected by the government, are the things that keep governments humming along. If you don't want more of them, then you don't want more government.

College tuition when up a lot after our government decided to take over the student loan program. Why anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. Easy money on one end leads to increased taking on the other.

Hi Folks,

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was pumped to attend a taping of The Price Is Right in Hollywood this week. The special guest introduced herself as a U.S. representative and rising star of the Democratic Party. Things got interesting when the game began and every time it was her turn to estimate the price of an item her answer was ?free.?

Items included a set of Italian leather handbags, an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas, and a brand new 2019 BMW 330i, at all of which Ocasio-Cortez shouted, ?FREE!?

When host Drew Carey asked if Ocasio-Cortez understood the game?s rules, she told Carey not to cat-call her and then responded, ?Don?t hate me cause you ain?t me.?

On any subject he is a complete idiot. In this case, I think he and his buddies are getting a little nervous. Kinda makes you wonder what is in those documents to make them nervous? Guess we'll find out.

Hi Folks,

OK!

A drone was shot down.

Justin Trudeau met with Iranian officials on June 17, closed doors.

Justin then met with President Trump yesterday.

Who is this guy Alexandre (Sacha) Trudeau????

From a paper in 2014:
Not only is Justin Trudeau, son of former Liberal Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau and current Liberal Party Leader himself, a suspected closet Islamist, his brother Alexandre Trudeau, a top adviser of his, has been involved with propaganda operations of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its bogus claims regarding its nuclear program and smears and slurs against Israel.

Hi Folks,

Apparently, Nancy Polosi is a little ticked off that the the President didn't bomb the sand out of Iraq.

She thinks something is up with Sock-boy (aka Justin Trudeau) spilling the beans to Trump. The following is all CODE for.... something:

Pelosi will also be meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday. The speaker is expected to make good on her wager with the leader after her hometown team, the Golden State Warriors, lost the NBA championship to the Toronto Raptors. Pelosi will be giving Trudeau some of California's best known products -- among them wine and Ghirardelli chocolate.

I'm telling you. You can't tell the players without a program.

Nice.

Let's not forget all her campaign finance violations. Although to be fair, I often mix up AOC's campaign finance violations with Ilhan Omar's.

And the sad part of this is that probably a great chunk of Congress also has all kinds of campaign finance violations.

A lot of the money going to these people and to lobbing IS really from foreign governments trying to change ours.

And what makes it even more frustrating is these foreign governments then accuse of being the bad guys, when it was their money in the first place trying to bribe our leaders. Endless circle of chaos.

Hi Folks,

Dirty, dirty politics!

They got nothing, nothing but lies. These are bad people.

From Hunter Thompson:

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson?s early campaigns in Texas. The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent?s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows.

?Christ, we can?t get a way calling him a pig-_______,? the campaign manager protested. ?Nobody?s going to believe a thing like that.?

?I know,? Johnson replied. ?But let?s make the sonofabitch deny it.?

Dallasbeek · « **Reply #319 on:** September 19, 2019, 02:56:00 pm »

I think I have heard just about every dirty trick LBJ allegedly pulled, but never heard this. I think it is nonsense somebody made up for the internet, probably told first about some other politician.

The young Lyndon Johnson was actually pretty conservative by today's standards. There were two wings on the Democratic party in Texas, one liberal and one conservative, and virtually no Republican party. Many of the conservative Democrats moved to the Republican label in the late 1960s.
