Ari Melber is so good

I think he should get the 8pm slot.

This is terrible tax plan for middle level managers

There are those of us who are hard working reliable mid-level managers .. But not quite superstars.. We stuck in middle.. And hung out to dry..

We are going to get fucked.. And there won't be anyone to help us. If you don't itemize your returns - I am sure you are quite happy with the doubling of std. deduction. If you earn mainly through an llc or a corporation.. You are going to be making out like a bandit.

Those of us working 50-60 weeks, killing ourselves for the next promotion and be able to pay our mortgages.. And the super high property taxes (not uncommon to pay 25000 in my town) so that our kids can go to good schools.

For all my troubles - the following things are probably gone: state and local tax deduction, mortgage interest deduction and tax deferred 401 contributions.


I am sure there will be many on DU who don't care much for any of the above.. But just because it doesn't affect you does not mean that it is not a punch to the gut for someone.

I am all for shared burden.. But in this case Republicans are stealing from the educated upper middle class (who mostly vote Democratic) and giving it to the filthy rich.

Why the "not guilty" plea?

Does Manafort expect to be pardoned?

Else wouldn't it make sense for him to plead guilty and cooperate

In the days, weeks and the months ahead I hope this will become the DU Anthem

and Meanwhile on Fox ..

The are beating on the war drums with North Korea.

a quick 15 second snippet on the indictment and then they pivot the important story of Protesting the National Anthem.

Can I give healthy treats for Halloween like apples or baby carrots?

Candy is horrible.. I hate most of them.. The only thing I can eat is some dark chocolate..but putting out Lindt truffles is an expensive proposition.

Walmart is piloting Shelf Scanning Robots in 50 stores

Slowly but surely a large portion of humans will be pushed outside the bounds of relevance by robots and their wealthy owners.

The tipping point is here. Automation will start replacing jobs faster than we can create them.

Republicans are really raking me over coals with their tax proposals

They are going to remove tax deferment for 401k contributions and also remove deductions for mortgage interest and local taxes.

They are stealing from the middle class to fund the tax cuts for the super rich.. I cannot believe this shit they are trying to pull off.

We need to land up in Washington with pitchforks

I keep having thoughts and fantasies of violent revenge on Republicans.

I know I will never act on it.

I don't own a gun and never will.. I wont contribute one cent of profit to the subhuman pieces of shit.

But the way Republicans subvert human justice burns me up. They have found a way to put private profit above social good in everything from environment to social insurance to education despite the fact the we are the Majority.

I do not want waste my time and energy thinking about those evil scum.. But the anger in my mind gets hard to bear at times..


I have often laughed at the 'impotent rage' of people who were raging in anger about Obama. So maybe its karmic justice that I go through the same thing.
