Watch The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell Highlights: September 15 | MSNBC
See the Truth and the Lie for what it is. No smoke, mirror can obscure the Truth, it lays in hearts and minds, it is known, it does not require submission of decency. The Lie on the other hand requires submission of reason, the cloak of willful ignorance and the Lie must be repeated. The Truth stands alone whether we like it or not. Dump Trump and Grow Biden

*Obama’s return to politics confirms his economic illiteracy*
Sept 2018 https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/406882-obamas-return-to-politics-confirms-his-economic-illiteracy
*Over the past three years, we have emphasized that corporate and business taxes are borne most heavily — 70-90 cents of every dollar — not by businesses and Wall Street but by workers in lower wages and fewer jobs. That is why this tax reform has led to an explosion of jobs and increased wages for average workers. Obama and the Democrats in Congress will not acknowledge this reality because it does not jive with their rhetoric, which trends more toward socialism every day.*
Obama’s economic “recovery” was no recovery at all, but the worst response to a recession since the Great Depression — precisely because he pursued just the opposite of the pro-growth policies of Presidents Kennedy and Reagan that are embedded in the 2017 Republican tax reform. Deficits under Obama soared, doubling the national debt, because of his near-zero economic growth, business-crushing regulation, tax rate increases and rampant expansion of federal benefit programs with relaxed work requirements.
Obama reopened his assault on President Trump and congressional Republicans with a claim that tax cuts increase the deficit but that Republicans really don’t care about deficits and national debt. This, from the king of deficits and debt, under whom the United States had record-shattering deficits of over $1 trillion four years in a row.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) originally estimated the GOP tax reform, as passed, would lose $1.456 trillion in revenue over 10 years. But as Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s chairman of the White House National Economic Council, reported on CBS’s “Face the Nation” last month, “Even the [latest] CBO numbers show now that the entire $1.5 trillion is virtually paid for by higher revenues and better nominal GDP.”
Many people have trouble understanding the relationship between tax policy and the economy, and the economy’s effect on tax revenues resulting from differing tax policies. Some of those people are candidates on the ballot this year, asking for your vote and criticizing their opponents for supporting the Trump tax cuts. Some of those people work in the media, and their ignorance only feeds general confusion.
The bottom line: when the economy grows, tax revenues grow, and when the economy declines, tax revenues decline. Today, the economy is booming in response to the 2017 tax reform, and the resulting effect on tax revenues is so strong that even state and local tax revenues are increasing.
When Kennedy entered office in 1961, the top income tax rate was 91 percent. He led Congress to cut income tax rates across the board, from the highest to the lowest, by about 23 percent. That produced an economic boom in the 1960s and federal tax revenues started growing almost immediately………….
FEEL FREE TO COPY & PASS ON: Republicans are doing some sketchy things to voter rolls. Please make sure you and everyone you know are registered to vote….it takes less than a few minutes to check your voter registration status at:
https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote
If your plan is to vote early by dropping off your ballot at a voter dropbox (refer to above website for locations near you), offer to drive friends, family, neighbors, etc so they can also drop off their ballots…if you’re able.
Due to trump’s attempts to sabotage the US Postal Service, USPS workers in some states recommend putting postage on mail-in ballots and mailing them by October 20th….(this is NOT official, just a recommendation based on first hand knowledge of USPS operations).
Whether you plan to mail in your ballot or drop it off at a voter dropbox, get your ballots in as early as your state allows. Make sure to keep the tracking number so you can confirm it was received. Don’t forget to SIGN the ballot.
Thanks to Republicans, polling stations in some areas have closed, particularly in urban areas. Refer to this website to double check the location of your polling station: https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote
If you’d like to volunteer to drive people to polling stations on election day, or if you need transportation on that day, this is a helpful website: https://rideshare2vote.com/
Also, Uber and Lyft will be offering free and discounted rides to polling stations on election day.
Something to keep in mind — there may be a reason why Trump and Republicans don’t want mail-in or absentee voting — paper ballots can’t be hacked. Trump and the GOP may be counting on people to use machines. This is just speculation… do not let it dissuade you from voting.
If there’s any last minute problems with your voter registration on election day, know that most states offer provisional ballots at polling stations.
#VoteTrumpOut2020 …. in numbers too large to manipulate or suppress.
@Earnest T Bass Professor Lichtman has correctly predicted every election since 1984. He has predicted that Joe Biden will win.
Excellent analysis!!!! VOTE FOR BIDEN, AND AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙
William Bailey / Here’s your 1dollar for paid per respond trollollery. Go 👅your wounds and try again.
*Median income soared to record high of $68,703 in 2019 while poverty declined*
Sept 15, 2020
*The number of people in poverty in 2019 was 34.0 million, which is 4.2 million fewer people than in 2018.*
Household income includes employment bonuses, payments from public assistance, interest and dividends from investment, and Social Security, among other sources.
The official poverty rate in 2019 was 10.5%, a decrease from 11.8% in 2018. This is the fifth consecutive annual decline in the national poverty rate. Since 2014, the poverty rate has fallen from 14.8% to 10.5%. The 2019 poverty rate is the lowest rate observed since estimates were initially published for 1959.
The number of people in poverty in 2019 was 34.0 million, which is 4.2 million fewer people than in 2018.
The rate of people without health insurance in 2019 was 8%, compared to 8.5% in 2018 and 7.9% in 2017. In 2019, the percentage of people with employer-provided coverage at the time of interview was slightly higher than in 2018, from 55.2% in 2018 to 55.4% in 2019. Meanwhile, all states and the District of Columbia had a lower uninsured rate in 2019 than in 2010.

@The Wolf I’ve just heard it all before. When you have been lied to for 14 election cycles, I’m pretty safe to say it will happen again. Thanks.
@Gwendolyn Williams ok. Thanks.

@高育良 Trump Lied 200K Died https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjH9kqjZSHc&ab_channel=MeidasTouch
Raging Monk Democrats bring you too grave 😓
@高育良 200,000 dead from COVID and Trump is a Republican.
The science fiction presidency.
Minus the science.
At a 1950s tv level.
As a SF buff, I resent the comparison. Maybe something from a Stephen King novel.
🤷🏼♀️🤮45 consciously lies
Plan your VOTE! Help others VOTE! Scientific American endorsing FACTS👍 Stay FOCUSED! Stay BRAVE! VOTE!

Abrams for president!!!!!
Lawrence is simply the best! He doesn’t play soft-ball like some hosts with tRump & Lawrence doesn’t mealy mouth mince his words. I love how he constantly & consistently bash’s tRump!
tRump needs bashed up one side and down the other!
I love Lawrence O.
I took trumpers for a spin and found them all very thin
Since lame came and went out of style they excelled in it meanwhile
So trumpets pull out your MAGA cups and fill them with your tear drops
As full payment in sum- lump for supporting and enabling Trump
You guys don’t remember any more the sticky notes you posted on your doors
You wrote you’re just “acting lame and fake applauding his fake fame”
But now you’re late on rent ignoring science and environment
And your sticky note and your acting lame have now both become permeant
So, remember what you wished for, Trump now owns you in his world
And not giving you what you need is be cause he can’t deliver anymore
Not the rest of us though
Ex Republican
Biden Harris 2020
😁
💛😍💜
Three CHEERS!
X independent… Now Democrat
Trump is 80% lies and conspiracy theories make up the remaining 20%
david clark this is one of the truest statements I have read today.
There’s no 20% everytime he opens his mouth it’s a lie
@david clark 100% facts bro
99.9%/.1% and I’m being kind.
The lies and conspiracies are hard to tell apart, and often 1 in the same thing.
I doubt Trump knows the meaning of the word science or how to even spell it!
Right. He could’t pass the SAT..ha ha
Isn’t Seeiunsce a province in Cheeiuna?
💌✌🌹
Trump seems to believe in magic over science.
He’s the official Voo-Doo president. #GodBlessAmerica
That’s how CONS ARE
STARTED AND.MANTAINED.
NOTHING CONCRETE,
HE.MAGICIALLY ” GAINS
A PERSONS ATTENTION,
THEN THEIR CONFIDENCE
AND A CON is set
I guess according to Donald Trump, fires can’t be started when it’s cool outside or winter time? Yeah that’s how stupid our president is!
💝😍😘
It shows how stupid he thinks that WE are.
BIDEN should use Reagan’s repeated phrase with trump for example: Reagan would say ” WELL, THERE YOU GO AGAIN ” …as trump tells a bevy of lies.
Exactly. The same specific, short phrase used to explicitly call trump out each time he lies… repeating it would also get under Trump’s skin. It’s definitely going to be a challenge for the moderators. It would be easier for the network to get real-time fact checkers.
What makes Drumpf believe that republicans don’t vote by mail?
Stupidity. Trump is a raging moron.
Scientific American vs. Orange Sphincter. Which side are you on?
lol.
The only logical choice
SCIENCE. OF COURSE
Well, I am a scientist, but orange sphincter is powerful!
When trump start lying show receipts show that he is lying.
he’s playing the accordion
Love Stacey Abrams, such a smart woman
Beautiful as, well.
Give this guy a November retirement, He is crooked.
