Lots of reports over the weekend letting us know #DonaldTrump isn't happy and he's lashing out at anyone he can. Some people will take it (Mitch McConnell), but I have a feeling some in the GOP will start distancing themselves from #TrumpNation due to voter's reactions this year.

"I think the immigration rhetoric lost us several seats in Hispanic districts, and it's not going to get better in 2020," lamented one GOP operative who worked on the midterms. "There is no district we lost here that we are going to win in 2020 - and it's going to hurt recruiting, quite honestly."

I will make the reckless prediction that “Donald Trump” and “good news” are not fated to appear in the same sentence unless the good news happens to be that his presidency is ending. Everything about his behavior since the midterms suggests that even he has figured this out. It has belatedly dawned on him that (a) he lost the election he thought he won; (b) the Robert Mueller investigation has moved faster than his efforts to thwart it; (c) any of his legislative fantasies, notably the funding of his border wall, are doomed; and (d) and his pouting in Paris elevated his international image as a buffoon to a whole new level of notoriety. Remember when Republicans attacked Barack Obama (falsely) for allegedly barring Winston Churchill’s bust from the White House? Now the GOP’s hero is a president whom Churchill’s own grandson, the Conservative member of Parliament Nicholas Soames, has labeled “pathetic,” “inadequate,” and “not fit to represent this great country” after Trump failed to show up at the French cemetery rites honoring the fallen of World War I.

Just wait until Mr. Average Taxpayer finds out that his "tax reduction" was an outright LIE this coming new year. I'm on a fixed lower-moderate income. My taxes increase 210,000% in 2018 (yes, that number IS correct)… and all of that increase is because of the new Republican tax law. Moreover, the tax law in 2019 is going to be worse. People on fixed incomes (many of those who thought they saved enough to retire early), the disabled and elderly, and reaching well into the lower-middle class families with kids; ALL of them are going to be in for a very nasty surprise. They may have received a tax return for all their lives, but this year is going to be a lot different. People will have to start sending money to the government without any increase in their revenues.

The news media have been warning us about it (by "warning" I mean mentioning occasionally that people should check their withholding), but few Americans are ready for a 210,000% increase in taxes. Especially when there is nothing to show for it, except the rich getting richer.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
