Trump met with his Cabinet today.

One of the Secretay's said the Dept. of Labor and the Dept. of Education would be combined.

He also pointed out that if a pizza operator makes an all cheese pizza is regulated by one department. If he adds pepperoni he is regulated by a different department. The FDA I believe.

He showed how the USDA could combine four Departments while the Corp of Engineers could work for another three.

Meanwhile, Melania was in Texas looking into the children's shelters. BTW, she is the one that got The President to backtrack on that issue.

Trump ordered the DHS to get the children being held separate from their parents to get them back together ASAP.

And the Trump met with some governors but no info on what the talked about yet.

Meanwhile, Bolten is off to Europe to meet with our allies and the Russians. Putin has said he wants to meet with Trump. Maybe that will happen.



And the day is barely half over.

Oh yeah.

The conservative Border Bill was defeated in the House while the easier one is postponed till tomorrow.

The Reps have some questions about the latter.

Not sure if the 20,000 beds are for kids only or for families.

My guess is the families who will likely be held on military bases.

Correction, the Pentagon was asked to supply the beds.

And before you go ballistic about locating them on military posts, Obama housed 7,000 on military bases once.

She only wore it on the plane. Not during the meeting or when she was visiting with the kids.


I didn't see it myself until just a few minutes ago when she was getting on the plane and even then I couldn't read it.

If anything she was probably firing back at the lame street media. They went insane over this.




Just thought of something else. The President told the media to tell the Democrats to come to The White House this afternoon so they could talk about the border.

I just wonder if the sales tax will apply to E-Bay?

Probably E-Bay will have to collect it and pay the states. That way the seller will never see the tax.

We don't, but we know the government needs money to operate.

Actually, I wish there was another way because a sales tax hurts the poor folk more than the rich folk.

Yeah, kinda like the tax cut that got passed that doesn't benefit the middle and lower class and benefits the rich.

Tax cuts are by a percentage.

Get it?

Dipshit, you have no room to talk about any thing regarding percentages.

And you still don't comprehend. But, then again it is you.

your taxes $1,000,000 x 5% = $50,000

my taxes = $1,000 x 5% = $50


We both get a 5% tax cut

Gonna have to read the USSC ruling, still wondering how they justified giving states the pass to tax when there's Congressional legislation specifically barring it, if they didn't actually overturn it.

I think it has been cooking for awhile.


I heard some time ago that Amazon was even promoting the sales tax.

I guess it is true then that:

Behind every great man there is a woman, standing in his way.
