I can't believe Rush allowed this guy to use his show as a vehicle to spread his lies.

The GOPe leadership just commits one error after another, if they are errors and not part of a plot to just blow up Trump and the party. This is just one more pebble toward the mass that will come crashing down on them in 2018 as they lose both the House and the Senate. Then they can sit back as the silent partners as the Rats try to impeach and remove President Trump. What worms they all are.

They should just add a line to the current tax forms:

Take you total tax and multiply by 0.9. Send that new number in.

Since the outset I’ve tried to think positive but in the back of my mind I suspected that I, a single white guy who manages to earn a buck now and then, am going to get a tax increase.

From Republicans, FFS!

I thought misspeaking got its name during Watergate,
but it turns out to go back a lot farther than that.

There is no other word quite like “misspeak”. This is because to claim to have misspoken – as used by our political overlords – is essentially to tell a lie about a lie. So it not only relates to untruth, the phrase itself contains an untruth.

Chaucer, Wycliffe and Shakespeare all used the word.

The only way the Dens will win the House and Senate is if all those who call themselves conservatives/deplorables sit home out of spite and allow it to happen. Surely there will be many a Freeper who refuses to vote because so and so is a Rino or Dem puppet. And Democrat dreams come true as they impeach DJT, Pense (and Ryan if they can). This will set the US well down the road to a failed state as the Dems take over, and mandate all their bloody dreams.

Prosperity will flow from food stamps and government stipends. Conservatives/deplorables who sat home will congratulate themselves for having stood on principle and dream of the day when true conservatives take power once more ... in their gulag cells ...

Ryan

"So according to the Joint Committee on Taxation — which is the official scorekeeper of these things — every single person, every rate payer, every bracket person gets a rate cut," House Speaker Paul Ryan told conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday.

And they could more than pay for that 10% cut by simply getting rid of the CFPB, which is an illegal agency anyway.

“They don’t cave, they support the Democrats agenda all of it.”

Agree.

They’re going to lose the House and Senate and Trump’s going to be impeached.

That’s what they ALL want.

The Republican Establishment progressives would rather LOSE everything than have President Trump accomplish ANYTHING..that is the GOP’s plan, they want Trump to have failed so he can get impeached, the Dems get power back and Republicans dont have to do squat

This bill need to die.

Burn this bill to ashes. Burn it.
