I wonder if the stock market will crash today. This is going to be a very long weekend in DC and I wonder what the chances of that tax bill going through today. Oh who am I kidding, these are politicians, of course they'll pass it.

Flynn resigned so they wouldn't have to fire him. I'm sure there's an interesting reason behind it but I'm sure it has to do with him originally looking like the fall guy. But, since he's been ghosted by the administration like he was a bad date, things change and witness memories tend to get much better when they're sitting on the edge by themselves.

McConnell just said they have the votes for the tax plan.
But, he's said that before too.

I know exactly how well off Kansas is sadly. I saw the John Oliver take on it as well and I wonder if they could raise money by selling their politicians to Texas. Texas might take them to get rid of Cruz.

Reagan's 81 tax cut was accompanied by a huge interest rate cut by the Fed. The Fed had raised interest rates substantially to fight inflation starting in Oct 79. Reagan's 86 tax reform had no impact on economic growth. The economy was crap under Papa Bush.

I fell asleep a lot in economics. I don't see how this new bill will do anything except add more to the deficit and take more out of middle and lower income wallets in the long run. Please tell me I'm wrong. And wouldn't a rate cut also send the market into free fall at this point? The money has to come from somewhere and I don't have a money tree in my back yard. I just can't seem to make sense of any of it and I agree with McCain in that this is a flawed bill. While the tax code is due for a huge overhaul and no amount of fixing over the years have done any good, shouldn't the wealthy also bear some of the burden of this as well?

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong and again, I did sleep through econ because I spent a lot of time drinking the night before class. Drinking is much more important when you're young, it's what turns us into alcoholics as adults!

It's a big tax cut for the wealthy donors, big increase in the deficit which will lead to cuts in Medicare and Social Security. Also looks like a tax hike for quite a few people especially sick people who will no longer be able to deduct their health care costs.

Tax bill could trigger historic spending cuts

Thanks, that's what everything looked like to me but I needed someone to clear the wool away for me so I could be sure I wasn't crazy(er). Looking at what some of these idiots say, of course we're in debt! So what's the best idea, cut taxes for the rich!!!!! Let's cut spending for those in need and work 12 to 14 hours a day just to get by and make them pay more. I'm going to have to stop reading because I'm afraid I might start foaming at the mouth and barking.

The Senate is voting on the tax bill tonight. Repubs say they have the votes. This could be very bad.

Corker was the only one in the GOP that held firm and voted against this. What happened to all the words in that grand speech from Flake? McCain? Collins? Murkowski? The ones that seemed to stand up to Trump and Congress?

Anyone who voted for this stitched-together mess needs to be flushed out in the midterms.

If I hear one more Republican say this is for "the American people" I'm going to...this is a bill for their donors period. BLOTUS saying this won't help him. Such a sack of crap.

It's such a pissy, evil piece of shit. So fucking low that teachers can't even deduct 250.00 bucks for supplies. (Though corporations sure can deduct expenses). How fucking mean do you have to be to do that?

Fake News! The media photoshopped empty seats into the picture. This was the greatest tree lighting ceremony ever. No President had a better tree lighting ceremony. He created a thousand jobs and caused the stock market to soar by lighting that tree.

After all the foot stomping and crying about how Obamacare passed without being fully read, the GOP passes a massive tax bill the same way and the right applaud it... All it took was dangling an IOU in front of them and making them believe they're all gonna get mo' money and be richer.. :lol:

It will be both fun and painful to watch how this all goes down... Here we GO!

The Tillerson ploy -

Trump: "I think I'm going to fire Rex. He called me a moron and thinks he's better than me. He's gone."
Whitehouse grapevine: "POTUS said Tillerson is going to get canned!"
Media report: "Rumor has it that Tillerson is on his way out."
Trump reaction: "I'll keep him now just to paint the media as being FAKE NEWS! Yay for me!"

It could not be more obvious that this is the way it went.

If it came down to it Trump would shit his pants and rub it all over his face if the media reported that "So far Trump has neglected to shit his pants and rub it all over his face".

Trump just unknowingly admitted to Obstruction of Justice on Twitter

Matthew Miller Retweeted Donald J. Trump

Oh my god, he just admitted to obstruction of justice. If Trump knew Flynn lied to the FBI when he asked Comey to let it go, then there is your case.

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

He's just going to backpedal and claim he got the timeline confused.

You have to remember Trump is a very unrepentant liar and disinformation monger. Anything that comes tumbling out of that fat, slap-happy head of his has to be taken with about forty pounds of salt whether it's accidentally true or not.

You think people here won't find other things to do or talk about if this mess ends? Believe me, most of us will be pretty thrilled when we don't have to focus on government affairs this much. Speaking for myself, I can assure you this isn't some sort of hobby.

That said, calling people "crybaby losers" for their concern/outrage over what's been happening over the last year is a pretty telling indicator that you're standing on the wrong side.

If a couple of Trump's children go to prison, he might care. Then again, we might be stunned to find out that he doesn't care.
