White House Cites Satire Story to Support Trump’s Nightmare Budget
The dumbfucks who work at the White House are as stupid as the dumbfuck at the top of the org chart. They linked to this to show that Trump’s budget proposal is awesome.
Are Democratic Ideals and Principals Now Relics of the Past?

The piece of legislation, introduced by Representative Mike Ramone and co-sponsored exclusively by Republicans, would repeal […]

TransPerfect News Thread

TransPerfect’s Campaign Imperfect. Did any of you see that commercial sponsored by some PAC called something like Pro-Business Delaware? Basically the ad says that, thanks to the Court of Chancery’s decision in the TransPerfect case, a decision necessitated b/c the two key TransPerfect officials just couldn’t get along, Delaware will lose its pre-eminent status for incorporations? It’s part of a $500,000 (!) campaign to influence Delaware legislators. Well, so far the score is one who has been influenced (Bonini) and two who have turned thumbs down (Simpson and Lavelle). When a so-called pro-business PAC loses the R Senate leadership, it has lost Delaware. Maybe they should spend the $500 K to send the two feuding officers to counseling.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., May 18, 2017
A quid pro quo? Both HB 16 (Ramone) and HB 175 (Schwartzkopf) are on today’s House Agenda. HB 175 raises corporates taxes and fees and makes a substantial dent in the budget deficit. HB 16 eliminates the Estate Tax. I wouldn’t be shocked if Speaker Pete placed HB 16 on the Agenda as part of […]
