@JesseKellyDC Shouldn’t Trump get more credit for spending political capital and attacking China via Venezuela and Iran? Most politicians worry too much about the now and we kill them for it. If the polls are right, the mid-terms are what they are and we can still accomplish something
“General Order No. 11, Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic, Washington, D.C., May 5, 1868: The 30th day of May 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance, no form or ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit. We are organized, comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, “of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers, sailors, and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion.” What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade between our country and its foes? Their soldier lives were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains, and their death a tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the Nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of free and undivided republic. If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us…”

The top 1% already pay over 40% of all federal taxes. The top 5% pay over 60% of all taxes and the top 10% pay over 70% of all taxes. You already overtax ALL OF US. "Tax the rich" really just means "we don’t want to explain why we waste your $$ every year while nothing improves."
Happy Tax Day. The top 1% pays 40% of all income taxes, the top 10% pays 72% and the top 25% pays 87% of all income taxes. Meanwhile the bottom 50% pays ZERO income taxes. For all of you actually paying taxes, do you think your tax dollars are being spent well?
On the way to Colorado.
I’ll be speaking to the Colorado Republican State Assembly tomorrow in Pueblo.
Getting in very early in the morning — working for you all day & every day.
It’s ok to just sit back, watch, listen, and pray about things.
There is no need to vomit out every feeling publicly. Especially in times of war which are times of lies.
