"Betrayal": Drudge Slams Trump Tax Plan, Says "Illusion Of Party Differences Is Finished"

Despite the ubiquitous "tax cuts for billionaires" comments from the likes of Schumer and Pelosi, Matt Drudge has seen enough when it comes to President Trump"s policies. After the leaked details of Trump"s tax plan suggests a "surcharge on the wealthiest Americans", Drudge took to Twitter...

First keep Obamacare, now raise taxes on top earners? At least illusion there is difference between parties is finished once and for all!

His website also led with a scathing headline: "More Betrayal Republican Plan to Raise Taxes."

Drudge is criticizing the GOP for making concessions to Democrats on taxes and health care, confirming there is no longer an "illusion" of difference between the two major parties...

Something we have discussed numerous times. As Charles Hugh Smith recently exclaimed...

All the legacy claims of both parties ring false; neither party gives a hoot about the working class, small business or civil liberties. Their entire game plan is to whip up hot-button social issues to distract a fragmented citizenry and arouse last-gasp emotional loyalty to empty slogans.

Is it any wonder that people are abandoning both parties and claiming Independent status? All the core systems of the nation are failing, visibly, painfully, badly, and yet all the parties can dredge up is more of the same and TINA--there is no alternative.

The citizen who just awakened also awakened to the truth: the legacy parties have no solutions; their game plan is to milk the system as long as they can before it collapses in a rotten heap of corruption, fraud, collusion, debt and profiteering that benefits the few at the expense of the many.

When the parties do finally implode, the general mood will be: good riddance. A centralized spoils system is no longer a viable way to govern the nation. Political systems everywhere are facing a choice: Decentralize or die.

Unreal: Twitter CENSORS Eric Trump’s Drudge Tweet showing great American job numbers

Intellihub Editors Note: Amazingly, mainstream media outlets such as The Hill are actually reporting that Eric Trump is “claiming” Twitter censored him. In reality, the evidence is publicly available and undeniable. 

Eric Trump on Friday exposed Twitter had censored a news story he shared showing great American job numbers.

In a Friday message to his followers, Trump showed how a tweet he shared from the Drudge Report Twitter account was blocked and labeled “potentially sensitive content.”

“Why are my tweets about jobs and the economy being censored?” Trump asked.

Eric was attempting to share a Drudge Report tweet from CNBC showing July job numbers grew by 209,000 jobs in July, beating the 183,000 expected job growth.

The shadow ban by Twitter underscores how the leftist social media platform actively works to hide tweets which reflect positively on the president.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Twitter also censored positive replies to Trump tweets, in addition to tweets sent out by Trump himself.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has previously expressed support for failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Matt Drudge: "Rand Paul Is America's Best Senator"

Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge does not personally tweet too often, so when he does, it is either when something has infuriated him or, more rarely, when he has words of affirmation.  Today it was the latter, when Drudge praised Senator Rand Paul, tweeting that he had an "Intriguing lunch in hill office of America"s best senator, Rand Paul. He"s bold, brave and has somehow kept his heart in such a corrupt city."

While according to many, Drudge was a driving force behind the Trump election, Drudge has been very outspoken recently about his displeasure with the GOP.

In early February, Drudge tweeted that the "Republican party should be sued for fraud. NO discussion of tax cuts now. Just lots of crazy. Back to basics, guys!" and "No Obamacare repeal, tax cuts! But Republicans vote to shut Warren? Only know how to be opposition not lead! DANGER "

One month later, Drudge was even more direct, saying "Republicans lied about wanting tax cuts. Can we get our votes back?"

Then, last Thursday, amid the struggle to rally enough Republican votes to pass an ObamaCare repeal-and-replace plan, he tweeted, "The swamp drains you," which many saw as a jab at President Trump"s campaign pledge to "drain the swamp."

As The Hill notes, this was not the first time he"s singled Paul in a favorable light: earlier this month the Drudge Report featured a headline touting, "The return of Rand Paul," which was viewed as a warning to moderate Republicans. The headline linked to a Washington Examiner story that outlined Paul"s problems with the GOP"s healthcare bill.

Rand Paul has consistently called for repeaking Obamacare first, and worrying how to replace it later. So far this strategy has proven unsuccessful.

Drudge: "Republicans Lied About Tax Cuts", Wants His Vote Back

In what may be his most vocal complaint aimed at the Republican party since the Trump presidential victory, prominent conservative voice Matt Drudge on Tuesday accused the GOP of "lying" about wanting tax cuts, and asked to "get his vote back."

BTW, Republicans lied about wanting tax cuts. Can we get our votes back?

Delays surrounding the repeal of Obamacare, which as Goldman earlier said will likely be postponed by several months if not longer following the controversial CBO report, will asure significant delays with the implementation of Trump tax cuts. Furthermore, the Republican healthcare plan would repeal most of ObamaCare"s taxes: a prospect that looks increasingly distant. Earlier this month, the Joint Committee on Taxation released estimates showing the repeal and delay of many of ObamaCare"s taxes in the GOP healthcare plan would result in more than $500 billion in lost federal revenue.

The Trump team"s reform plan "will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with anyone," the president said during an address to a joint session of Congress. He also said the plan "will provide massive tax relief for the middle class."

In a separate tweet, Drudge also questioned the National Weather Service in light of Tuesday"s snowstorm.

"Lots of misses piling up. Overreaction by govts, bad forecasting very troubling trend!" he tweeted adding that "Trump should clear out climate hysterics from NWS. All storms grossly exaggerated. National Guard called for 3 inches? JFK closed? Laughable."

What is going on with National Weather Service? Lots of misses piling up. Overreaction by govts, bad forecasting very troubling trend!!
