Hold together, folks!
They are wasting their time. No Dem will vote for this terrible bill.
I do believe that the republiscums, in their zeal to include every regressive, hurtful, misogynistic and just plain stupid idea into this bill, have essentially turned it and themselves into a kamikaze mission!
Think about it. When even a ever-larger group of Republican senators have stated they will vote no, it proves my point. Ryan and his minions were fools to think they could get not only what they wanted in pure tax reduction for the rich, but also could severely hurt the poor, middle class, families, divorcees, blue states and far more elements of society.
Looks to me more and more like this Blue State tax grab is a McGuffin-- in the current bill to be partly or fully negotiated away. Here’s a very good article about what’s actually in the tax bill, deduced by several experts. It benefits guess who?
I hope the “moderate” dems string them along. Encourage them to pull some provisions, add others that will be poison pills for some republicans. Then vote against this garbage anyway.
Manchin will ask for a sweetener in the form of tax credits for coal-fired, steam driven automobiles.
That’s exactly what they should do. Pretend to be open to it, load it up with poison pills, and then trash it to hell and back as they back out.
FIFY:
Manchin will ask for a sweetener in the form of tax credits for coal-fired, steam driven automobiles wind turbines!
How the Republican tax plan will help us all be better citizens! Don’t be a Traitor…the questioning Republicans kind that is…the working with Russians kind is ok…
I would LOVE to be in that room.
I want,
you can’t have
I will give you this,
I want more
Then I take away this
add in this, then maybe
I don’t know
take this or it’s over.
who’s next??
Yeah, give 'em the Republican ACA treatment. I like this idea.
That’s exactly what Republicans did with the Economic Stimulus Package in 2009.
The Democrats are smart to meet with Don the Con’s lackey. They should propose a Democratic tax cut bill to Trump.
For Pete’s sake, When Cohn and Short make noises about bipartisanship and try to shake hands, you igbire them, look at their hands like they are turds and then then tell them in no uncertain terms that you will not even talk to them until Whiny releases his tax returns and stops trying to blow up Obamacare. Then you walk out. You ALL walk out and tell the press the exact same thing.
