Despite calls from Democrats to delay the vote on the tax bill until newly-elected Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) is sworn in, Republican leadership says they remain on track to push through a final version before Christmas, with a final vote likely next week.

Yep, with Mr. Jones coming to Washington Uncle Yertle knows that the gig is now up. Gotta get this dung heap moved ASAP.

Let’s just hope that Corker, Flake or Collins flip their votes now and at least one of them, becasue we now need only one, votes against reductions in social programs in 2018.

“Lawmakers announced they had tentatively struck a deal on changes to the bill that will further benefit the highest earning Americans, including a reduction in the top income tax bracket.”

So billionaires get a negative tax rate?

Not enough… these super rich people need more money, cut more taxes stat!

They don’t have enough.

Watching wealthy friends of the president petition for more cuts is sickening. Literally sickening.

The vile bastards need more.

These people have shown no concern for their fellow human, in fact their actions directly harm large portions of our country by the cuts needed to pay for their need for more money.

One can hope this brings an outrage at a level that flips congress and the presidency and holds it until the diseased and vile GOP returns to the people. Conservatism is fine… their current crony corrupt hateful policies. Not ok.

As far as I know, the promises made to all three have been broken. So yeah, they’ll vote for it.

The full details of the revised tax plan have yet to be announced.

There are no details to release and there won’t be until far too man Congresspeople have already signed on.

Goddamnit, Americans revolted against England for far less! The details of this fucking ripoff/scam need far more coverage than some stupid woman being fired/resigning WHATEVER.

Trump is speaking right now (which in itself is offensive) - but his language is only that they are “close” to a deal. Maybe the Republicans haven’t actually reached an agreement. . . .

The middle class is getting screwed and the Republicans don’t care how it looks. The Democrats need to hammer this tax cut bill morning, noon and night.

“It’s hard to believe they could make this new tax bill even worse than the last one,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) fumed on Wednesday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FUCKERS! CHECK OUT MY GUNS WHILE WE SCREW THE POOR! BABY JESUS LOVES YOU ALMOST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES MY RIPPED BICEPS! HUZZAH!

The NY Times reported that they have an agreement “in principle.” Strange, given how unprincipled Republicans are.

Who’re you gonna believe, Trump, or congressional Republicans?

[No, there’s no good answer to that one.]
