One week you're mopping floors next week it's the fries

It sounds like they're going after Medicare and SS next. Kind of have to with how much debt this tax plan adds on.

You know when someone keeps banging on about the same thing despite being in a minority view, despite inconveniences like facts proving them to be wrong? People stop trying to argue and just ignore them.

For me, that is what is happening to the US in global terms - Trump spouting his garbage means I’m now getting tired of any American global politics.

So when Nikki Haley pops up asking for global assistance in isolating N.Korea, I’m thinking, even though in this case she probably has a point, why the hell should we listen to you?

I honestly think it will be the US that gets isolated because of Trump (I’m sure Jon will quite like this idea), and it will simply allow China and Russia to become the world’s largest powers, if they aren’t already (which Jon won’t like)

If there’s any planning involved, it’s incredibly short sighted by Trump to act the way he does, and will end up setting the US back for generations.

That can't be right, Trump said the rest of the world is just now starting to respect the US.

It's already happened IMO. The rest of the West (and in some cases the West and Asia) are working together in lieu of the US. The US is the world's largest military power still, but the case could be made that China and Russia, maybe in that order, are the most powerful powers right now.

Looks more likely that Trump will get a win here.

The text of the Senate bill still isn't public, John.

That just proves his maverickness.

From Sen. Hatch:


Now excuse me, I need to vote for trillions in revenue cuts.

Flynn is pleading guilty to making false statements to the FBI. More indication that he is fingering bigger fish?

Breaking: Robert Mueller has charged former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia’s ambassador.

Guilty plea coming.

Without question.

One count.

This is a deal of some kind.

So "nothing to see" about Russia now Donald?

Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

Here is the criminal information: See the Charges: U.S. v. Michael T. Flynn - The New York Times

Benjamin Wittes on Twitter: "A criminal information, as opposed to an indictment, is almost always a prelude to a negotiated plea agreement."

Benjamin Wittes on Twitter: "Look for the release later today, or very soon, of a stipulation of fact document that will contain much more information."

Just now: @BrianRoss on @ABC News Special Report: Flynn promised full cooperation to the Mueller team and is prepared to testify that candidate Trump "directed him to make contact with the Russians.” https://t.co/E0tA37GOo0 pic.twitter.com/PmNEO7eekt

There is smoke in both camps, I would like to see both campaigns investigated.

Nothing is ever going to come of this. I dunno why we're wasting time and resources on it. He will not be impeached or arrested and will win reelection.

Two people have plead guilty and a third is facing conspiracy charges. That, in and of itself, is not nothing.

Yes, yes, many fine people on both sides.

Bwahahahahahahah President Clinton should be ashamed of herself!!

From the President's lawyer:


lol

What's the end game though? Not going to be impeachment/indictment or a resignation. What's the victory? Donald Jr. In cuffs basically?

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the pee tapes are real.

Oh I'm sure all of it is real. Piss tapes. 14 year old hookers. Etc etc.

Make America great again and hang traitors

I'm pretty sure a deterrent effect on any future election is a worthy goal.

I thought they were a little too far fetched. Then Trump recently started trying to say the Billy Bush tapes were faked. And I read an article on Russia targeting him in the 80s (and any other high profile Americans with potential political aspirations), goals to gather information, turn if possible and and gather compromising information.

Oh yeah, that was a great article. Read that too.

So all they've got so far is one of Obama's generals and a coffee boy.

Yup, seems that Flynn has flipped.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/01/us-s...he-agenda.html

Yeah that is the intent of this investigation - let future candidates know there are consequences no matter if they're President or not ..

That's some next level trolling.

Comey Makes His Instagram Debut With a Bible Verse on ‘Justice’ - Bloomberg

Comey is a moronic prima donna.

The Senate is pretending to have debate and amendments on the tax bill, but the plan is to have the last amendment offered by a complete substitution of the bill language with what has been agreed to previously by the GOP.

I'm so old I remember when the GOP promised to have three days between making a bill public and voting.

Remember when they cared about the deficit?

I'm sure he knows he gets an automatic and free get-out-of-jail card.

To be fair, I can see where Kushner did not understand the consequences of his actions/direction back then.

No problem here, someone that treats me like dirt and fires me like that, sure I'll get back at them.

So the guy who screamed "lock her up" at the Republican Convention just happened to have committed some light treason.

The GOP is set to pass a tax bill in just a few hours that currently looks like this. You can't make this up. pic.twitter.com/Atsk3AYW5R

So college endowments get taxed unless they have ties to DeVos. LOL

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/01/demo...e-college.html

I mean I guess if you're going to pass an unpopular tax bill that fucks over people, might as well really go all-in and appease all your donors and buddies.

DeVos went to Calvin, not Hillsdale. Her chief of staff, however...

Notable alumni: Erik Prince, Navy SEAL and founder of Blackwater.

(aka Betsy DeVos's brother)

Why don't we make it easier and just let them decide what companies and people don't have to pay any taxes? Like just make a list of friends that are exempt. It appears that's where we are at.

She's a huge donor to the school.

I actually agree with this, but after all the shit about reading the ACA I hope all the GOP gets killed over statements like this.

Is there anything that the GOP has complained about that applies to them as well? Literally, any single thing?

RIP America.

I'm just happy that they got those tax breaks for plane owners in there. I mean, that along really simplifies the tax code and helps our country win.

I also can't wait until I hear all the amazing things that are in this thing. All the last minute adjustments that I know will benefit all of us! It's like a special Christmas present where it's all a secret, then BOOM nothing but WINNING!
