115th Congress - Still 100% Roy Moore Free

Same.

Joe still votes R, and you don't even vote, so you don't get credit for other people saving you from yourselves.

Hopefully when she runs again a Democrat beats her. I think moderate Republicans need to start getting crushed for their complete lack of a backbone.

she's getting it from both sides now. The nut jobs call her a RINO and a democrat. She's losing the independents and moderate democrats over taxes (and confirming unqualified Trump nominations) that help put her in office. If she had run for reelection right after voting down the ObamaCare repeal, she would have won with 70% of the vote. It's going to be hard to get rid of her, but lots of people are angry in Maine.

It will be interesting to watch. I warned in her in a couple of tweets that what she was doing was wrong but she didn't listen to me, obviously.

She can go **** herself.

I was watching coverage of this last night and I actually yelled, “Bye, Felicia!” from the other room. I can’t wait until her duplicitous *** is voted out.

For the most part yes. I find that the Ds in Montgomery County MD are a bit too moon batty for my tastes. If there was a centrist whose positions were close to my own, I don't care who or what party they are.

They're scarce here in MoCo.

For those who think the Republicans can't win in 2018, read and learn. The Democrats better have a concise, well thought out plan to combat this entire list or they will lose again.

On the other hand, it’s equally remarkable that not a single Democrat in either chamber voted for this, including all 10 of the senators up for reelection next year in states Trump won. “Democratic obstruction of middle-class tax reform will be our No. 1 issue going into next year’s elections,” said Senate Leadership Fund President and CEO Steven Law, a former chief of staff to Mitch McConnell.

Excellent points. Especially important is the first one -- that a lot of people will pay lower taxes (article didn't say why, but I assume this is because of the standard deduction increase) this year. And the ones who pay higher taxes will be people in places that were probably going to vote Democratic anyway. The fact that a lot of people will pay lower taxes is especially damaging because those folks who pay lower taxes will say "Hey, the mainline press said this was a bad idea, but I'm paying lower taxes," which exacerbates a different problem.

This was a classic "screw people who wouldn't be voting for us anyway."

For me, this will mean higher taxes, possibly substantially higher, but I will continue to live relatively comfortably. Probably means lower taxes for my kids. So frankly, I could live with many of the changes if I were convinced that folks above me on the economic scale were also paying more. But they're not.

No one (who files once a year in April) will have done their taxes for 2018 by the time they vote. There was speculation yesterday that Trump may not sign the new bill until January as well, which would mean it is implemented in 2019, giving the Rs a chance to "fix" any issues they come across with the version passed.

Not only that but when liberals complained conservatives went on a rampage saying that was paranoid and that while the images were destroyed the ballots were preserved, and a recount is done with the ballots.

Flag doesn't just read InfoWars, he forgets what InfoWars was saying five minutes ago when they reverse themselves. We have always been at was with Eastasia.

Oceana has never been at war with Eurasia, Oceana has always been at war with Eastasia.

Yes, good point. But there will be (in fact already are) apps that permit folks to calculate what their taxes will be.

As CLS said, 1984. The Inner Party sets out new missives through its official news reports and loudspeaker systems, every so often changing which nation has always been its enemy. Upon announcement, the bulk of the population immediately believing it to be true due to their conditioning/brainwashing.
