Good news. I just think at least one of Murkowski, mccain, or collins will vote for some form of tax reform.

Elections have consequences

Nuclear options have consequences

Passing shitty legislation the past 8 yrs have consequences

And what in their voting record gives you that notion? I would love to hear the reasoning as to why each of these 3 plus Paul might actually vote for this. McCain will vote against it just to spite Trump. Paul will vote against it because he'll say it will raise the debt. Collins is a north eastern liberal. And I have no idea why Murkowski, from such a conservative state as Alaska, keeps voting against the Republicans, but she does. I just don't have very much faith in any of them right now, and it's a damn shame none of them are up for reelection in '18 (except for Paul since his only flaw is being too conservative, if that is even possible).

Worth repeating- ALL Democrats voted against it. And they would have no matter what the budget looked like.

Am I reading this correctly that budget is going to the president's desk; one that he is likely to sign?

When is the last time THAT happened? Or am I reading this wrong and it's not an actual budget?

Good news


For the ultra rich, like Trump, and corporations, as most of the tax cuts will go to them. This is hardly going to be a "middle-class" tax cut, as it will only get a sliver of what members of the lucky-sperm club like Trump and the Walton family will get.

Drain the Swamp, repeal obamacare, continue to buildup our Military, take care of our Veterans (especially our wounded warriors), end abortion, LOCK HER UP, cut taxes to Middle Class Families. To all you Repubs in Congress who jumped on the train during the campaign, time to deliver.

One more thing.....

Respect our National Anthem and Flag.

MAGA!

I doubt it.

Murkowski and Collins are straight party ticket Democrats who for some reason "identity as" Republicans. They're the political equivalent of transsexuals.

Juan McCuck is deranged, he has a literal brain tumor, and his sole purpose in continuing to live is to vote against anything Trump wants.

Rinos know they are going to face the music next year. Watch for them to try to fake us into thinking they are real conservatives. Don't fall for it

Like I said earlier today, pull left with Obamacare and then pull right with a tax plan without a single "yea" vote coming from the losing side. We're doomed politically at this pace.

I think that this is the reason that Steve Bannon is publicly talking about primary challenges to Rinos who don't support the President's agenda. Shot across the bow! Get on board or face a stiff challenge to reelection.
