The Senate has just passed the GOP Tax Bill. The House re-votes tomorrow to make it official.

Then on to the President for signing.

Winning, not sick of winning.

Well now Trump’s re-election hinges solely on the economy, everything else is just noise.

It’s not great, but it’s a start, and we needed a win of any kind.

Now let’s start cutting the damn spending.

It isn’t about winning. It’s all about MAGA and I’ll never get tired of Making America Great Again.

There are only 99 voting—McCain is in AZ “Recuperating from chemo”.

Bill goes back to the House later this morning for a final vote. When passed, it will go to President Trump for signature.

Not one Democrat voted for Americans to keep more of their own money.

NOT ONE.

Make sure you regale your lib relatives with that this Christmas.

It will be very tough for the Democrats to hide 5% growth and claim that it hurts the Middle-class!

Pretty much saved the House and Senate. Maybe they can tackle eliminating Obamacare again in the Spring.

Do we trade DACA for a wall, end of chain migration, green card and permanent residency only for DACA recipients and no citizenship and voting rights ever, and of course the repeal of Obamacare, straight up no replacement?

There were only 51 Republicans in the chamber. McCain is back in Arizona.

A poster on another thread said there were protestors again interrupting the vote at one point.

Including withdrawing the mandate, and protestors in the gallery. Now back to the house in the morning for a re-vote for procedure. This is a good night.

It has to be more than just good numbers, there has to be a better manufacturing base to keep that rust belt.
Oh and there has to be a wall...that was one of his central campaign points. Good luck to him because the Pukes in his own party aren’t helping him with ANYTHING so far.
This is the first time they get something big through for him in a year.

I was watching the vote on CSPAN. They had a few crazy leftists screaming “Kill The Bill”. All they succeeded in doing was giving me with a profound douse of Scandenfraude!
