It’s California’s fault that Alabama can’t pull itself up by it’s bootstraps?
Boy are you a kill-joy today! Unfortunately, I can’t argue with what you say.
Hey Chuck Grassley, when you fuck over millions of people, you might not want to share your contempt of them out loud
“I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing,” Grassley said, “as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies.”
… Have you even met me ?! 
This is what will ultimately do the republicans in - at some point. But the sad part is we will probably need some sort of triggering event before people finally decide they’ve had enough of being kicked in the head.
What sort of triggering event can you picture? His fans are all frogs in th epot of hot water. By the time they notice, they’ll and we will already be cooked. (But I’d still like to know what sort of thing you are imagining…)
It’s also kind of amazing that the states with high state and local taxes tend to have the highest GDP per capita, while the residents of the cracker states, whose lawmakers have been cutting cutting cutting taxes to stimulate growth, are still basically unproductive GDP freeloaders.
Cracker states?
Yeesh.
Thank you for your “concern”.
Nope. They’ll whoop and holler about how it’s on the way. But there are too damn many RINOs in the party to actually do it. All we need is a simple bill that says the Affordable Care Act is repealed. And we can’t get it, although we desperately need it.
You should stage your own personal repeal. Stop paying your premiums, you will be forever free of the clutches of that dastardly plan.
The purple ring around your mouth will eventually fade if you learn to slurp it with a straw.
Trump voters say ‘It’s not far’ and ‘They don’t care. There’s nothing else to say. They just don’t care.’
From the first link.
Prey, meet predator.
Lord, if you’re up there— and my guess is you aren’t, but nevertheless— teach me compassion, and deliver me from Schadenfreude, in these moments of weakness and great temptation. Amen.
Another financial crisis or an unpopular war, or both.
When praying to an non-existent deity, you would do well not to get on His bad side.
You won’t like him when He’s non-existently angry.
It turns out that you might not want to scribble your trillion-dollar tax plan in crayon on the margins of the bill right before you pass it, because you might make a couple of mistakes.
I figure they’ll pass something out of the conference committee, but the chances that the House just throws up their hands and passes the Senate bill as it went down enormously.
With Yahweh, its can be pretty clear, you were told “Thou shalt not!” but thou fucking did. So, its your ass, now!
With the Goddess, you pray to know what is wrong, and the answer is “Ooooh…nothing.”
The latest Chapo episode (164 - The Deficit Rag) has so many cathartic rants about the tax bill, the Kansasification of America, and the feebleness of Democrats.
“The only person who could have stopped this fucking thing is if Stephen Paddock had a season pass to the Congressional softball league.” Wew lad.
16:15 - The stupidity of respectability politics
20:12 - Incremental reform is shown once again to be bogus
25:45 - Dems will always be rat fucked
48:00 - Everyone hates rich kids, so making the case for inheritance taxes should be dead easy
1:03:50 - Trump repudiates the capitalist myth of the self-made man
1:07:53 - As more stories of Trump’s inner circle come out the whole idea of Hillary and her team of career driven psychos losing to them grows even more hilarious; also, Trump backstabs everyone close to him, but people still want to sign up.
