the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator received 58.7% of the vote in the great state of Nebraska..

today:

WASHINGTON — Nebraska farmers have lost upward of a billion dollars in revenue from ongoing trade conflicts, according to a new report issued Monday by the Nebraska Farm Bureau.

The hit to agriculture from the ongoing tariff wars has been clear for some time, but the new report uses some eye-popping numbers to illustrate the pain.

Aw hell Bob,
Nebraska farmers voted for what they know is right.

Us dummies in MI need the GOP to destroy democracy because too many people voted for women to be Gov, AG and Sec of State and passed 3 ballot Proposals.

Nebraska farmers voted for freedom.

Murca!!!!

You know, conflict with China is inevitable. Our economy is too integrated with theirs. That’s not why Trump is doing this, he just wants the big bad Chinese to play fair instead of beating us at our own game, but capitalism as we’ve known it i has failed and eventually we need to move on to the next thing. So fuck it. Destroy the economy. Let’s do this. The sad thing is, his toadies won’t let him.

Well the richest among us certainly knew what party to vote for - they won't vote against their best interests.

The Party of the Rich goes to bat for its constituents

The Democrats are the Party of the Rich. They were swept into the House majority by a revolt of the elites. This party of Orange County, Westchester County, and Chicago's North Shore is playing the part, wasting no time pushing policies to hand special tax breaks to their upper-middle-class constituents.

Consider Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y. As the chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, former chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and in the top 10 in seniority among Democrats, Lowey is among the most powerful members of Congress.

She has introduced two bills so far. One is the appropriations measure to reopen the government. The other is a major tax cut for the rich.

Lowey’s bill would undo exactly one part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: the limit on deductibility of state and local taxes, including property taxes. The law capped the state and local tax deduction, or SALT deduction, at $10,000.

That cap doesn’t affect most tax filers. If you claim the standard deduction, as most taxpayers do, you don’t benefit from the SALT deduction. Since tax reform nearly doubled the standard deduction, about 88 percent of all taxpayers will not itemize. If your state and local taxes are at or below $10,000 per year, you also aren’t affected by the cap.

Sweet editorial Goose. Do you ever post anything based in facts and truth? Pretty much everyone agrees the answer is no.

Let's try to not post anything racist today.

The ONLY thing the Rs did with with house Senate and presidency was give 1.8 trillion to rich (and forgein) people.

Nothing else. (Wall, abortion, guns, nothing...) So keep telling yourself Dems are the party of rich elites. See what they actually do with their sliver of power.

looks like the welfare/hush money that the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator gave the farmers leading up to midterms has ran its course.

it's hard not to feel bad for them.. but I'll never understand people who vote against their best interests.

U.S. farmers in the Midwest are filing for bankruptcy at levels the U.S. hasn’t seen for approximately a decade, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Low commodity prices have been gouging U.S. farmers’ bottom lines for years now, exacerbated by increasing agricultural competition from Russia and Brazil. President Trump’s trade disputes, meanwhile, are adding salt to the wounds, as tariffs drive down prices and decrease profit for farmers.

And the beatings continue. Yet farmers will still vote for Trump despite his ag Secretary actually saying small farmers need to get out of the big farmers way. People are stupid.
