Cheeto Keeps Making Life More Expensive

Forget about inflation and make life more expensive for middle and lower income families. Cheeto’s tax bill gave out lowered taxes to the very wealthy Americans but at the same time maintained taxes to the middle and lower income families. And make them pay for a costly war no one wants. And Cheeto’s policies are not helping the country. Q2 GDP came in at 1.5%, well below the 2.1% estimate, as officials keep promising 4-6% growth.

What this amounts to is voter bribery. Elect and give $$$ to fascist Republicans because they’ll make your life easier on the backs of middle and lower income families. And while they’re at it cut social safety net programs such as SNAP and Medicaid. Meanwhile give pardons to convicted wealthy criminals and J6 insurrectionists.

It’s clear what the fascists’ pogrom is. Tax the struggling American families through federal tax codes, add on tariffs which make products more expensive for Americans, take away their benefits since they don’t deserve federal handouts, and now take away Medicare supplemental insurance for those on fixed incomes.

What’s immoral about this picture? Only fools would vote for such a diabolical plan that hurts the American people. Vote these fascists out of office and talk to friends, neighbors, family and get the word out.

Just how much Trump cares about living as a heroic figure with testaments to his greatness taking every form possible and how little he cares about the American people was made quite clear by his decision to buy 250 Escalades (base price $90,000, fully equipped and armored $300,000 a piece) at the tax payers' expense. He wanted the Escalades for motorcades because he and his associates look "sharp" in them and they are "spoiled." Yet he claims the "affordability" crisis is a Democratic lie and a made-up word.

There is no affordability crisis for the people Trump cares about (those who enable him and swoon over him like the late Lindsey Graham) and they won't have to worry about it once they are imprisoned for their crimes and corruption.

I so hope you are right and they do go to prison.

Not only is he a brazen criminal but a spendthrift which enabled him to bankrupt 5 companies. On MSNOW which has been calling out Cheeto for years on his lies and now brazen corruption and Paxton along with Cheeto’s endorsement, displays the rot in OUR broken political system. O’Donnell interviewed James Talarico(bit.ly/4vV78je). As Talarico comments, in a democracy politicians are to serve WE the People not themselves. Corporate America has been stealing from the American People. Reagan’s debunked trickle down economics is another name for theft.

Microsoft paid an effective federal income tax rate of 2.4 percent while posting record income of over $100 billion for its fiscal year 2026.

Steve, question. What would McConnell do if this was a Dem from a Republican Governor state?

I don’t understand the downside of letting McConnell vegetate if that’s what’s happening. No votes. No votes. How can that be bad.

If the deal is some kind of honor around calling this out—give me a f****** break. The Republicans put these cards on the table so tell me what’s the advantage to them that I’m missing.
