   The supreme court is simply ruling on the Constitutionality of the laws that will be passed to grab your money and mine.  They can't legislate, although I found it kind of ironic that the one guy on that court who did once "legislate a law" (the Obamacare healthcare law), John Roberts, now is one of the dissenters in this case.

   I'm with you on this one, but yet you have this all wrong. You say "thanks to a Supreme Court ruling"??  The increase in taxes isn't occurring and it won't occur because of the Supreme Court ruling.  The SC only said they had the POWER to ENACT those laws.  The Supreme Court didn't write the laws.  YOUR Democrat legislators will decide whether or not they decide to act ON that Supreme Court ruling.  The Democrat Legislators there could easily say "hmm... the SC just said we could raise taxes via internet sales".  They could respond "that's not right, and we won't burden the businesses", or they could say "YES, MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY"!  

   Blame the culprit not the interpreter of the laws.  It lies with YOUR legislators, and in California it is virtually all liberal Democrats all the time.  

  Your state has been totally run by Democrats for the last 30 years or more.  Your Democrat Party had a Supermajority there some years back and they could do whatever they wanted and it couldn't be stopped by anyone.  I'm not saying that the Republican party is much better, but your Democrats are completely dismal. 

   And yet, you continue voting them in.  Maybe you should rethink your political decisions.

"The president’s Office of Management and Budget — not that there really is a meaningful budget getting actual management — projects that the deficit for fiscal 2019, which begins in six weeks, will be $1.085 trillion. This is while the economy is, according to the economic historian in the Oval Office, “as good as it’s ever been, ever.”

and

"Despite today’s shrill discord between the parties, the political class is more united by class interest than it is divided by ideology. From left to right, this class has a permanent incentive to run enormous deficits — to charge, through taxation, current voters significantly less than the cost of the government goods and services they consume, and saddle future voters with the cost of servicing the resulting debt after the current crop of politicians has left the scene."

I don't what "Q" is, perhaps you can explain.  

BTW, it has to be tough to have to ignore the facts about Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, Mueller and all the others on your side, isn't it?   

Let me repeat, your Californian Senator there, Dianne Feinstein, along with Ron Wyden and all the other Dems were outraged at Brennan for his crimes of spying on them a few years back.  Then when he lied about it, they were furious. 

Any comments from you regarding their fake outrage now and complete 180 degree turnaround of their hatred for him? 

Strikes me that this whole Russian Collusion charade is just that, a charade and something that the Democratic Socialists can use to gin up their base of complete meatheads.  Too bad for your side that they are so phony that they have no credibility on the matter.

The NYT knows who the author is. Otherwise, they would not have published it. So, all the cries of fake news ring hollow. I'm sure the NYT would not have published it otherwise. The funny thing is that Trump's reaction to the op-ed only serves to confirm the message of the op-ed. He is unhinged and left to his own devices will take outrageous actions.
