What is his motivation here? He’s terrified of life after he leaves? I just don’t understand these guys. Everyone hates this bill. Well, they’ll all be pariahs together. And, yes, the work we will have to do undoing all of this will be arduous and thankless. As always. Fuckers. Excuse me but can’t help it.

Bob will see a tax reduction of several million a year if this pile of shit passes into law.
That’s his motivation.

How long before the bills to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security - before or after the State of the Union speech? And how about Children’s Health Insurance Program - just let it slide down the Memory Hole?
And they’re doing everything they can to shut down the #trumprussia investigations, so we can go through the same BS interference in our elections in 2018. See the string of Adam Schiff’s twe
ets in Mother Jones.

And get out and fight and work our asses off for the midterms.
ETA: Didn’t realize Allegra already had a story up about Schiff. I’m a little slow today.

Sure, Bob. I always thought you would. The tax cut for the rich is at 29% approval, but what the hell. You’re not running again, at least for now, so what do you have to lose? Only your soul.

Since tens of millions (like me) will see their taxes go up, the smart move for Democrats is to just repeal it and call it a tax decrease for all but Trump, billionaires and corporations, and restoring health insurance to 13 millions. It can be called deficit reduction as well.

GOP dogma: “Let’s just do it and be legends!”
But before they pass this tax bill, they need to purge a few public servants over at the FBI. Christ.

Well, now, Susan Collins can vote against the bill knowing her vote won’t matter.

@ronbyers The inequality has become so extreme that all the next Democratic president will need to do is point to the peasants constructing guillotines in front of the Capitol.

His accountant crunched the numbers and Corker realized how much he’ll get.

Millions of tax rebate bucks.
Deficits only matter if a Democrat is president, according to the GOP standard playbook.

As the horrible, criminal, felonious Tom Delay said, “The GOP wants to drown the government in the bathtub”. The worthless GOP is simply starving the government to death, and as government gets less effective due to less operating revenue, the GOP will point and say, “See, we told you government is ineffective”. What totally despicable pricks.
