Trump wanted to meet with Dems...they refused.

When?

[Bonemaker]

“Ask Nancy - you have to sign the bill before you read it. Did you Dems think the ‘rules’ only applied to others??”

If democrats don’t like it that means it doesnt screw the public bad enough.

[Jonny7797]

If it was rush though, I’ll go out on a limb and agree with he guy.

I hated it when the democrats did it, I hate it just as much now.

Despicable process by despicable Republican leadership.

[Bonemaker]

Last week.

[Aevery_Freeman]

And eliminate the inhumane withholding tax!

Face it, withholding makes sharecroppers of us all.

[DoodleDawg]

Last week.

That was concerning funding the government and preventing the shutdown and not the tax plan.

[Bonemaker]

“The good news is he’s up for re-election next year. So where are the Republicans? Who will be their candidate? Will Bannon get someone who can help to get rid of the McConnellites?”

In the meantime we’re paying this prick 174 large to be a jerk.

[ctdonath2]

Am I mad about the tax bill being nowhere near having a reasonable time for review? Yes.

And anyone who voted for the two-kilopage monstrosity under Obama having similarly no time to read that can cork their pieholes about this one.

[rellimpank]

--I agree---I had hoped that with Repub control of both houses of Congress, some sanity would return to the lawmaking process--notably , singe purpose , relatively simple stand-alone bills would be put forth (as IRRC. Rush Limbaugh among others suggested)-

-NOPE--didn't happen--

That was for continuing funding for the government and not the tax plan.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

But, but...”We have to PASS the Bill before we can know what’s in it!” worked just FINE for 0bamacare, Eh, Bucko?

*SPIT*

[FrdmLvr]

If the enemy is against it, I’m for it.

[existentially_kuffer]

Earlier today.... Elizabeth Warren Attacks ‘GOP Tax Scam Bill’ — Then Admits She Hasn’t Even Read It

[HotHunt]

Gosh.

Sounds just like what happened when the democRATS alone passed ObamaCare in the dead of the night.

We were told by Nancy peLousy that we would needed to pass the bill so we could find out what was in it.

How is this any different, you whiney, liberal congress critter?

BTW, how did this liberal ever get elected in Montana of all places? Montana's not known for cottoning to lily-livered, liberal crybabies.

[itsahoot]

Should have taken that speed reading course offered in college. Too bad.

Remember when the House hired a professional speed reader to read a bill on the floor?

[trebb]

Must be one of them “Broke Back Mountain” Montanans...

[itsahoot]

When?

Last week, he had the meeting anyway with empty chairs reminiscent of Dirty Harry's convention speech.

Last week, he had the meeting anyway with empty chairs reminiscent of Dirty Harry's convention speech.

And as I pointed out to the previous two responders, that meeting was for funding the government to prevent a shutdown and not on the tax plan.

[elpadre]

He refused the President’s invitation to discuss the bill in the White House and there was the required hours of robust debate.
