grassley can go straight to hell

[JPPaverage]

The tax scam is bad enough without a jackass like Grassley opening his big mouth and showing his true colors (again).
That asshole, in an interview with the DM Register said, "I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing as opposed to those that are spending every darn penny they have, whether it's on booze or women or movies."
First of all, it'd be nice to be able to make enough money to invest more than I do. Secondly, I have a child, as do MANY other Americans and we are trying to save up enough to maybe help them out financially when they go to college. And..we sure are trying to keep up with medical bills. Not to mention mundane shit like food and shelter. So when I do have an extra buck or two, after working around 50 hours a week and my wife working full time as well, yeah I may stop at a local bar and have a beer or two. And yeah, we like to see movies sometimes too.
That blankety blankin' Grassley really showed what he thinks of the working class Iowans as well as working class Americans. Fuck you Grassley. The Blue wave is coming in 2018. Hope you all are ready for it.

1. I was on a call today and Sanders, Booker, MoveOn, Indivisible, etc

are planning events and they have a three way plan since the Tax Scam is NOT OVER!
1. Keep calling [phone]
2. Attend a meet up, an event, a protest, a town hall, etc. Hundreds are planned for this week
3. Use social media to spread the word about the realities of the plan. Retreat, share, show to the press and media that people are pissed off and are focusing and fighting back.
We have a few weeks left and only 26% of Americans approve of the plan. GET the word out! RESIST!

2. Yep. That's the image Republicans have. If you aren't rich it's because of booze, women and movies.

Has nothing to do with the low salaries hard working people are paid.

3. Selfie of Grassley with Russian during election campaign

In Adam Silvermann's post tonight (12.3) at balloon-juice.com on Russian penetration.

Extensive analysis of Russian influence on GOP and GOPers.

4. Flip Grassley time! Just as the Transgender woman won the seat

of the creep who sponsored the bathroom bill, and a woman won the seat of the guy who made the snide remark about the Women's March that they (the women) should be home cooking dinner for their husbands, I want to see a compelling not-so-rich person flip Grassley's seat in the next election.

5. I couldn't agree more.

6. That's not fair.

Ernst shouldn't be left out. She can go straight to hell too.

7. To the OP: You have made an element argument

Why not expand it into an op-ed piece for the Des Moines Register (I'm guessing you're an Iowa resident?), where that blankety-blank Grassley would be sure to see it? I'm certain a lot of readers in Iowa would applaud your sentiments, and it would give the other Iowa residents something to think about.

8. Here is his photo

Along with his good buddy Makarov



Here’s pro-Kremlin MP Andrei Makarov w/ Rep. Senator Chuck Grassley at National Prayer Breakfast February 2017.

Makarov is a member of the United Russia Party and is the head of the Duma’s Budget Committee. Why, exactly, is Russia sending senior officials to the US National Prayer Breakfast, an event largely promoted and attended by elected, appointed, and otherwise well connected American social and religious conservatives? Penetration at all levels in pursuit of influence? It is also important to remember that the National Prayer Breakfast is the premier annual event of The Family, the secretive, ultra-Christian conservative and neo-fascist organization that runs a boarding house for Christian conservative members of Congress.

Maybe this photo will prove useful in the near future....
