I’m tired of Republicans using the word “reform” to really mean “gut.”

Healthcare reform = gutting coverage

Tax reform = large tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations

Environmental regulations reform = a return to polluted air, water and land

No he won’t. They’ll release a half-assed tax reform recommendation that won’t have anywhere near the support in either house to get out of committee let alone pass as legislation.

This is just cover so Trump can claim he “passed tax reform in his first 100 days” then blame it on everyone but himself when it doesn’t go through.

Donald Trump is the most inept President this country has ever had and likely ever will have.

I’ve never crossed my fingers for a government shutdown before. Before now, that is.

Perfect 100 day capstone.

Every reporter who asks about this issue needs to ask, “How much would this have saved Donald Trump off his 2016 federal income taxes?”

I am so with you! 100%!

Shut this bitch down. Let’s get to the bottom of the corruption before it is allowed to take over everything.

The plan, never going to materialize, was to take the “savings” from gutting ACA and putting them in some half assed tax reform package in order to cut taxes for the 1%.

Mostly likely this bill will screw over his supporters, just like his failed attempt at healthcare. This bill will be called “Tax the Deplorables”. It’s comical how bad this this idiot is at politics.

Cramming for midterms. Not sure it works in national politics as well,as it does in college.

“Some time next week…maybe Tuesday…maybe Wednesday, but probably late Friday afternoon. I don’t have the slightest idea what’s in it…But folks, I can assure you, it’s going to be a great tax plan and I guaranty you that you’re gonna love it.”

Trump will never, ever be chastened; will never, ever learn.

To reassert himself as the humiliator, Trump will look to take decisive action of some kind elsewhere. With the legislative channel all but closed, he will find something in the administrative and foreign policy realms over which he exerts outright control. He could sabotage Obamacare by announcing an end to cost-sharing reduction payments. He could void the nuclear deal with Iran. He could provoke North Korea. But there is no historical precedent that allows us to comfort ourselves in the hope that he will accept defeat quietly. When Trump needs a “win,” we all lose.

All that’s missing is “Don’t forget to tip the waiter. Try the veal!”

“Bigger I believe than any tax cut ever.” = I haven’t even started thinking about this and am pulling flowery prose out of my orange and sagging ass.

Thanks for that link. Beutler’s a good one. But the look on trumpp’s face. . . you see the contents of his soul on it. Ugly, twisted and totally bleak.

But, he has a distinct flair for demagoguery.

Relax, this is easy: He’ll put out a sketchily-prepared three-page draft, the nub of which will be rate cuts in all brackets. And he’ll ‘pay’ for it with unspecified loophole-closing. GOP will cheer the headline version, and most news media will ignore the boring analysis of its calamitous effect on public finances.

Two weeks later, it will be forgotten.

You have to learn how to suppress your inner lawyer and drop legalese in favor of language people can understand :wink:
