Finally, your entire opening statement is ignorant and foolish. Pay attention!
Got a quote you want to cite?
Quote/citation please?
I'm quite sure Hannity has never uttered the phrase "pussification". Where are you getting this quote?
The midterm elections are in 6 months. There are dozens of political candidates running for major offices. They all have advertising and information campaigns on the internet. They all have websites that detail their views on all of the issues. Can you please provide a link to which candidate(s) support(s) shanty towns?
How is that worse than Bernie's plan of chinese debt financed nanny state?
Right, so shouldn't we spend it on something that makes money, like economic growth? Or would it be better to spend it on something like welfare checks?
You think that tax cuts were implemented just so some rich guys could keep a little more money? even if that insane naive and intellectually lazy premise were true.....what do you think they do with the money?
Who else would pay the bonds back? Tax cuts > Economic growth > Jobs > More money > pay debt > repeat. That's how it's supposed to work. But it keeps getting fucked up every time we interrupt the process by electing a democrat.
What does this have to do with anything in your original post? or anything that's been asked of you since? Why are you "pleased" that Trump's attorney-client privilege was violated to satisfy an investigation that's way outside of its intended scope? What happened to your love for the "rule of law"?
Suddenly sacrosanct pillars of our legal system go out the window because you wanna spike the football at republicans? Awesome. You should be really proud of that opinion.
Attorney-Client privilege can't be invoked if it's being used as a means to further the ability of the attorney or client to go commit crimes.
I'll provide some links to illustrate what I'm saying.
This is a ranking on education in 2 states in particular, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

Oklahoma ranks #42 "best" education, and Louisiana ranks #45. Ok, so their kids are getting shitty educations by and large. Having a good education, pretty low priority in a red state right? Oklahoma teachers are on a 2 week walkout because education facilities have gotten so shitty in their state. Because what employer doesn't want dumbass ditch diggers for employees who can't do basic math, reading, or writing. Something like that.
Now let's look at those 2 states incarceration rates in the country.

Oklahoma has the 2nd highest incarceration rate in the country, and Louisiana is #1.
Red Republican ran states (I think Jindal fucked up so bad, he was replaced by a Democrat) is quite telling, these 2 red states, would rather incarcerate their citizens, than give them a good education. ranking better in education has been tied to lower incarceration rates.
This illustrates my point, Republican voters, and politicians, believe you make peoples lives better, by making peoples lives worse.
I talked to a White Baby Boomer today, and I was taking a drug test for illicit substances for my CDL license I'm going for. And I mentioned, I think the War on Drugs, has RUINED more peoples lives, than it has helped.
Well she heavily disagreed with me. She said we're not incarcerating ENOUGH Americans. I pointed out, WE'RE THE INCARCERATION CAPITAL OF PLANET EARTH.
She said you know how you not go to jail? And I replied quickly, make less things illegal. Like Amsterdam's approach to marijuana and prostitution, those are legal, they have a lot less citizens in prison over marijuana and prostitution.
And I pointed out to her, that the purpose of the War on Drugs, was to stop people from using drugs, NOT incarcerate millions of Americans. In terms of stopping Americans from doing drugs, the War on Drugs has been nothing short of an abject failure. Where it was remarkably successful, was sending millions of Americans to prison, who otherwise would not have gone.
This all ties into what I've learned from Trump supporters, "You make peoples lives better, by making peoples lives worse".
