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.

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.

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

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." |

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.

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

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. |

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.

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. |

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.

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?

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!
