Invest in Florida realestate and take advantage of current administration capital gains rules  Vote for a president that will satisfy your social or financial needs for at least four years  Build walls that serve no purpose and give tax cuts to people who do not need them  Separate children for whatever reason from their families and admire autocratic leaders around the world in hopes of reaping a place in history and fading promises of denuclearization What is 'Capital Gain' Capital gain is a rise in the value of a capital asset (investment or real estate) that gives it a higher worth than the purchase price.

Who will win for the middle class

"The Democrats , however, remain a mystery . We watch them hesitate at crucial moments, betray the movements that support them, and even try to suppress the leaders and ideas that generate any kind of populist electricity. Not only do they seem uninterested in doing their duty toward the middle class, but sometimes we suspect they don’t even want to win." Source  Thomas Frank for theguardian.com

Autocracy

Image
a system of government by one person with absolute power  "After starting a trade war, giving tax hand outs to the rich that will likely blow up the US fiscal deficit and antagonizing NATO allies while befriending despotic leaders, this latest action of Trump further establishes the pattern of his capricious, often short term focus. That in itself is a scary observation and an understandable reason why the dollar sold off.” Sources CNN  theguardian.com   Provider  Youtube

Is this the American way

Opinions from the New York Times   Are congressional jobs worth more than the security and well being of the American people?  Why do we let this person whos boast he won the electoral college vote, trample on American values, jobs, and security?   Congress, the Senate, won't you do something to correct an obvious error of presidential selection ?

Remember SNL

Before cell phones there was Saturday Night Live "One of the skeptics was NBC Research chief Bill Rubens, who com­plained openly that Saturday Night wasn't, as he'd predicted all along, deliver­ ing enough viewers to justify its budget. Nor did it seem to have much potential for improvement. In December, Rubens's department finished a re­port on the results of an opinion survey it had conducted on Saturday Night's first few shows. The report found several 'areas of concern' with the program. Viewers, the survey said, found Saturday Night ' terribly disjointed.' It left them feeling 'bombarded by a constant stream of short segments.' Another 'disturbing impression' was that viewers expected more spontaneity from a live show than they were getting from Saturday Night : ' The production should allow for or include the unexpected or ad-lib.' There was 'a rather large nega­tive response' to the [televi
