I hate to piss on everyone’s Wheaties, but I still think the chances of final passage are slim to none. McConnell will not be able to secure the votes, nor does he really want to.
Funny, President Reagan was able to pass his Kemp-Roth tax bill with 89 votes in the senate, and over 100 democrats crossed the aisle in the House to make it a lop-sided victory for the American people. It almost makes me look back with fondness for Speaker O’Neill who brokered the agreement with President Reagan over a cordial glass of Irish whiskey at the White House. What the f**k happened ?

I believe that the defense of the Clinton’s criminal activity brought a whole new dynamic to our nation.

It was evil, and would stop at nothing to defend more evil.

Since that time they have progressively moved farther and farther from reason, truth, and legality. Morals were something Christians were wrong to support any longer. Why they were the evil ones. There was no longer any right or wrong. (moral relativism)

George Bush set a new lowered acceptable standard on our side, and Obama just sank to the bottom on every moral category.

The Left doesn’t honestly have a grasp of a concept concerning right and wrong. To them there is no right and wrong. Lessons from history are not admissible. Anyone opposing them no matter how bad the policy is, is listened to. They are demonized.

When our president could bring terrorists into the Oval Office as advisors, and nobody would say anything, it was about as bad as it could get.

The Kenyan armed and funded terrorist groups that were sworn to destroy the United States and it’s allies.

We can no longer expect the other side to negotiate in good faith. They no longer respect our morals, right and wrong, the Bible, the rule of law, or the U.S. Constitution. And when I think of the other side, it includes the Republican leadership in Washington, D. C., and in many state leaderships to boot.

Raping women wasn’t considered a bad thing just 25 years ago. Now pinching a butt is an almost executable offense.

There just no rationale to any of it. Don’t expect rational negotiations these days.

It’s all out war, and we’re still skipping going to the polls because our guy is a terrible campaigner.

Yep, that’s more important than opposing late term abortion, getting good judges, ramming through tax cuts or any other solid legislation.

The age of reason is behind us.

We’re in a new dark ages. Folks just don’t have the mental faculties to grasp simple concepts any longer.

Trump is no Reagan. He is a decent man but is isolated and allows himself to get into pissing wars with everyone on twitter. The leaders in congress are pathetic weenies. Media has gone overt commie and making a pass is now sexual harrassment. It’s a crap sandwich.

I agree it will tough sledding to get a tax bill through.

“What the f**k happened ?”

Well, it started with Kennedy and amnesty and went downhill from there. Until November 2016.

Rubio is on board, so is Corker, so is Lee. Even McCain has said “overall this bill will be good for the economy and the American people.” Saint Jeffy will be voting yes.

It’s not over until it’s over, but at this point it looks like the bill will pass.

Schmuck Schumer is wee-weeing on himself right now and Nancy Botoxly is soiling her Depends every hour on the hour.
