Susan Collins wants Donald Trump to trickle down on "all Americans."



Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins said on Monday she would vote for the sweeping tax overhaul her party’s leaders hope to push through Congress this week, all but ensuring its passage despite seemingly universal opposition from Democrats.

“The first major overhaul of our tax code since 1986, this legislation will provide tax relief to working families, encourage the creation of jobs right here in America and spur economic growth that will benefit all Americans,” she said in remarks on the Senate floor.

John Kerry's Purple Heart. We're there again, folks. Daisy Domergue's getting desperate.

Team Trump and his brilliant. gifted and astute team of powerhouse attorneys has come to one conclusion...Mueller is tightening the noose, the noose is real, and the only way to cheat the hangman is to slime John Kerry's Purple Heart again.

I watched "The Hateful Eight" for the first time on Netflix yesterday.

Trump is Daisy Domergue, sitting on the floor handcuffed to the corpse of Kurt Russell (which, in this case, would be Don Jr, Manafort, Flynn, and every other useless piece of garbage in Trump's orbit).

And just like Daisy, he's flopping around like a fish washed up on the beach, making threats and trying to still prove he's the master of the Art of the Deal.

Mueller's the kind of guy who dots every "I" and crosses every "T" and then has his work reviewed to make sure nothing was missed.

So, as Mueller does his job, Trump's recourse is to say he lied, broke the law, behaved in an unethical manner, and that he is innocent. And when none of that works, he goes to work on John Kerry's Purple Heart.

Trump owns one, dontcha know? He was given one at a rally and marveled at how he "always wanted one," even though his tragic affliction of bone spurs in his tiny little feet prevented him from what he wanted to do the most, which was to suit up and defend our country.

Disgusting times, witnessing the desperate acts of a desperate man as everything he's tried to hide is exposed to the blinding light of day.

In June, 90% of respondents in Suffolk U poll who trust Fox viewed Trump favorably. He's now at 58%.



In June, 90 percent of respondents in a Suffolk University poll who said they trust Fox over other news networks viewed Trump favorably, but by October, approval had fallen to 74 percent and plummeted to 58 percent in December, The Washington Post reported on Thursday. That’s a 32-point drop in six months.

...what a hap, hap, HAPPY day for AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon. Ajit Pai, kiss my ass.

The approval of FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s proposal marked a victory for internet service providers like AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and Verizon Communications Inc and hands them power over what content consumers can access.

Democrats, Hollywood and companies like Google parent Alphabet Inc and Facebook Inc had urged Pai, a Republican appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump, to keep the Obama-era rules barring service providers from blocking, slowing access to or charging more for certain content.

Consumer advocates and trade groups representing content providers have planned a legal challenge aimed at preserving those rules.

The meeting was evacuated before the vote for about 10 minutes due to an unspecified security threat, and resumed after law enforcement with sniffer dogs checked the room.

Trump: "Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!"

The reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore will not be able to win the General Election. I was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!

Pat Dinizio's final Facebook post, December 9th. R.I.P., and long live The Smithereens.

GREETINGS FROM SCOTCH PLAINS NJ!
Hey everybody - it's your old friend and colleague, Pat DiNizio from 'America's Band' the world famous Smithereens!

Happy Saturday to all of you. I hope that you are doing well and are already hard at work enjoying your weekend. I have been getting a lot of gratifying and encouraging emails and Facebook postings from so many of you regarding my health and I want you to know that your interest and concern truly means the world to me. I learned a long time ago that life is a series of constant adjustments and with that in mind, we are doing our very best to deal with current medical issues to get me in shape for our upcoming gigs.

I have been receiving very good care and several physical therapy sessions at home each week here at Hollingsworth House in Scotch Plains (a Victorian farmhouse built in 1885 that I purchased 20 years ago - I am only the 3rd owner of the house!) and rest assured I am receiving the best medical care and attention possible to repair the damage done to my neck and back in my recent falls.
On another note, here is a list of movies I will be watching on Blue Ray and DVD this weekend. Let me know if you are a fan of any of these movies and want to post a movie review:

THE YAKUZA, TWO FOR THE SEESAW, THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, THE OMEGA MAN, THE BIRDS (playing now), MEET JOHN DOE, SCANNERS, DR. STRANGE, THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, FRENZY, THE 7TH VICTIM and my favorite Michael Caine movie - the 1960s spy thriller THE IPCRESS FILE.

Anyway, hope you are well, talk soon, see you soon.

Love and happiness to you,
Pat D.

"We still got to go by the rules about this recount provision"

Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Tuesday refused to concede the race to Democrat Doug Jones, suggesting he would wait for a recount despite preliminary results indicating he would lose the contest by an amount greater than the margin that would trigger such a process.

"Realize when the vote is this close, it's not over," Moore said. "And we still got to go by the rules about this recount provision."

"It's not over and it's going to take some time," he added at the end of his speech.

"Part of the problem with this campaign is we've been painted in an unfavorable and unfaithful light," Moore said.

Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!
