Thanks for the thread bud.
Mnuchin is usually pretty good knows how to handle the rats and all their gotcha questions with solid answers.The hard left will try and claim that the tax bill only helps the rich,class warfare is as valuable to them as the race card is.

Explosion in New York yesterday; A surprising new pervert and groper.
Turns out he is something called a chain immigrant, ie folks related to those who have gained citizenship and can now import their relatives.
One of the biggest jobs the government has is protecting our borders.
And they fail miserably.
They let in whoever they want and if anyone doesn’t think any money changes hands for citizenship, I got a bridge to sell cheap.
Turns out the suicide bomber hurt only himself….ha, ha, ha.
But he did bring attention to yet another failure of our government.
But MARIO BITALI??? The Iron Chef? Co-host of one of my favorite show-”The Chew”.
Bitali is ugly and wears the ugliest clothes on the planet, including those bright orange rubber shoes with holes in the top.
He is no longer on the Chew. He is a certified, lunatic liberal and brags about spending time with Michelle and Barack Obama.
He apologized all over the place, admitted his wrong…..
….go to hell Mario Bitali. You too had it all, a nice successful career as a Chef, a gig on a popular show….
……and you blew it.
Can’t stand you, asshole.

Alabama election results
The Democrat won the race in Alabama, Doug Jones.
Roy Moore was done in by a massive write-in vote of over 23,000….easily passing the difference between the two main candidates.
So someone got out a write in effort and it worked. Well it’s perfectly legal I suppose.
The consolation is that Jones will not serve very long and up against another Republican with no baggage Jones will probably lose.
It is what it is.
Those FBI messages
This Peter Strzock and his girlfriend are messaging each other perfectly horrible stuff about President Trump.
Is this how the premier police agency in America should behave? Have they no class?
One message says they needed some kind of assurance in case Trump gets elected.
What right does the freaking, boring, corrupt, nothing-burgers at the FBI to determine our elections?
Or have they turned into a version of the Nazi party.
For many years the FBI has been revered and respected for its crime-solving skills, its avoidance of politics.
Now….dear Lord that Mueller man appoints people who write those awful messages. That Mueller man is said to deserve respect and I say not one ounce does he get from me.
Never thought I’d see the day when the national police force decides what duly-elected president can stay and who they must remove.
Adolf Mueller! Seig Heil!!!!

Rumors about Paul Ryan. The real defeat in Alabama. Tax bill creeps along waiting for sick people.
It’s been a prevailing rumor that Paul Ryan was going to resign after this term but all has been denied.
More fake news one supposes.
Jeff Sessions’ election garnered .12% write in votes in 2008. The Moore/Jones election gathered 1.7% of the vote.
Jones beat Moore by 21,000 votes. Had Moore gotten a majority of the 23,000 write in votes Moore would have won.
So a huge write-in campaign was undertaken, it would seem, and it may well have cost Moore the election.
Well it’s legal to work the public and I’m thinking the established Republicans embarked on a massive project and it evidently worked.
Thad Cochran and John McCain are, as of this writing, in the hospital.
Meanwhile Marco Rubio is making a scene and the tax bill awaits return of the sick senators.
This does look like a done deal folks. Looking like a Christmas present.
We can hope.
Tax Bill quite generous.
The standard deduction write off for a couple is $24,000, $12,000 for a single person.
The top bracket is 31%.
The Alternative Minimum tax is eliminated….hooray!
There’s way more but folks, this is no rinky dink tax cut.
Now what they need to do is reduce all that spending they so love to do.
Ho hum.... Not a great lineup, except for the Treasury Secretary... (Can’t spell his name.)
NBC going to their go-to Repuuuuuuuuublican! The son of a (fe)mail carrier! All around idiot & dumbass! John KaSICK!
Morning all...I’m listening to Doug Jones and he sounds Conservative and reasonable. On my local Fox Channel, the moronic mayor of Miami Beach (Philip Levine, who is running for Florida Governor) was on with his ‘mom’ (who looks like David Letterman’s mom) talking about sea level rising. Did any Florida FReepers see that ad?
No dip Schiff, dumb Schiff, Schiff head, bull Schiff, (or pick your own Schiff) on CNN today. He must be a little nervous he’ll be outed soon as the leaker on the CNN email screwup about DJT Jr. 10 days ago.

This is way off topic but most here will enjoy it:

Kasick is a big spending lib rino who probably could not get elected anywhere but Ohio.
WTF is going on with Meet the depressed and the and the Sag Hag Motorsickle Club? LOL
An amusing comment for this Sunday Morning.
While watching the West Brom. vs. Man U. game at West Bromwich Albion home statium - The Howthorns. the Add banner between the bottom seats row section and the Upper seats row section was running the 23rd Psalm. I am guessing that all of the NFL teams will be running that Psalm on their add banners this weekend
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!....FOREVER!!!!
