QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 09:26 AM) This seems to be what the people who like it are touting. In theory it makes sense. More people working, more jobs healthier economy. The whole tax cuts that disappear in 2026 will be offset by more people employed and no businesses in the country. It will be interesting to see if it happens. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

Damn I am shocked this passed. Remember when the ACA passed when the president had both the house and senate? Oh well, in 2018, dems will take back both and then we begin the cycle of obstructionism all over again. America, so predictable, so pathetic.

How can you vote yes on a bill that's not written?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) How cool would it be to see Trump at a press conference drink a shot of poison like that war criminal did the other day. Trump is too narcissistic to take that route.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Pretty disgusting that Cruz is now a child molester supporter. The Democratic party not forcing out Franken though is a problem. I love that quip about him saying he doesn't want to go against the will of the Alabama voters. Here's the kicker, what if Moore came out after he wins and said, yes the allegations are true and I'm deeply sorry... I bet the voters would come up with an excuse similar to the sick sycophant evangelicals did already.

Yep Franken should have been ousted to make a point but alas, Democrats just want to protect their boy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) He's right, this charge isn't a big deal. That's the point of a plea deal. Alright so Jr. or Kushner go down... nothing really happens as Trump can claim he had a lapse in judgement?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 09:44 AM) you know it isn't (video at link) https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/936352215551406080 Is Ted Cruz an idiot? Better to not say anything at all.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 09:40 AM) Sanders does a good job of exposing the GOP's plan to use the deficit they're creating to cut Social Security (which doesn't actually contribute to the deficit) https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/936381809243377664 Bdawg still throwing blows. At least someone is fighting for the little guy.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 07:14 AM) FOX NEWS HOST TO @tedcruz: You cool working with alleged child molester Roy Moore if he's elected? CRUZ: Sure, no problem, that's up to the voters. FOX NEWS HOST: And what about alleged groper Al Franken? CRUZ: Now that's a very serious problem. I'm extremely concerned. I hope this is a joke.

They absolutely cannot pass this bill.

They donate a pittance by their standards and get that huge ROI. =)

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) The minute people go to do their taxes and realize you cannot itemize anything anymore will be a wake up call for a lot of folks I wasn't a taxpayer in the 80s but Reagan did away with the credit card deduction right?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 30, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) The minute people go to do their taxes and realize you cannot itemize anything anymore will be a wake up call for a lot of folks Yep and people will go to other countries to study graduate programs instead of the US.

Oust Franken FFS. It's not that hard to not be a hypocrite.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) Senate tax package passes Filibuster test on 52-48 party line vote. Gotta pray some Senators have brains in their heads and squash this. If they pass this, god help us all.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 01:47 PM) It is all about partisianism. An entire generation has been raised to believe Party over Country. Truth. People need to wake up and fast.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/29/t...a-senate-267825 (this is also a blatant violation of the Hatch Act, but it won't matter) Jones is a pedophile too?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) As long as we have a serial predator as the leader of this country its going to be that way. Just need some hard evidence and pray it's enough for people to see the light. I am talking about the ones that can be saved.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) I think you're right, but my question in reply is should the Dems wait until the ethics committee conducts an investigation? I kinda feel like there should be some version of due process available here, but then I'm also not confident in the Senate Ethics Committee to work promptly. Yeah... I have zero confidence. I feel like they will try to protect him. Instead of being human beings, you are blue or red; everything else be damned.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 09:03 AM) Franken won't step down unless something more serious comes out, Moore will win, maybe Conyers gets the boot. Democrats should oust him then. They can't peddle they are anti this behavior but when one of their own gets caught with with their hand in the cookie jar, they say, "whooooa wait a second..."

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 08:59 AM) He just called for investigation into another conspiracy theory, this time that there was murder on Morning Joe. A murder? What on earth?

This is a perfect way to end the year. I hope these women living in silence as long as they have get justice. You have to be a real SOB to sexually assault another human being. Franken should step down, and Moore should be eviscerated. Big cats like them rarely change their spots, no matter how much they deny. While we're at it, I hope the Trump accusers really turn up the heat.
