Schiff ftw.

[kpete]

Let’s not overcomplicate this:

Republicans passed a $2 trillion tax cut for billionaires and corporations.

And now they’re refusing to pay for it.

It’s really that simple.

1. Occam's razor applied to politics...

[Ohio Joe]

2. K & R

This is the real message that is not being stated anywhere near enough.

[Budi]

3. Hey MEDIA! Do your f'ing job for this country. For Once.

[Moostache]

9. They are busily searching for the next missing white girl story...too busy to do their job

Why cover the GOP refusal to pay for the tax cuts that did not pay for themselves?
Why cover the incredibly flaccid punishments handed out to the Capitol rioters to date?
Why cover the memo that detailed the attempted coup d'etat by Trump and his minions?
Why cover the fact that the GOP has steadfastly REFUSED to divest from Trump or hold ANYONE accountable?

Instead, we have GOP Senators screaming "treason" at the only adult in the room, who kept a dangerous situation from becoming a catastrophe...

But hey...I'm sure there is someone coming up next on some worthless media whore talking hour that will interview someone who posted a TikTok about Brian and Gabby and how they looked "distressed" last month.

This country has gone from shit hole to flushed.

[Budi]

11. K & R

Meanwhile Chuck Todd hosts an all Republican panel.
F'ing useless pandering by Corporate Media.

[toasty]

14. Again, Fairness Doctrine

...and democrats don't seem interested in dealing with these purveyors of misinformation.

[Budi]

15. Fairness Doctrine was a key point in HRC's 2016 Campaign Platform.

No wonder MSM silenced her.

Opting instead to playing bullshitters bullshit on a 24/7 loop.

CORPORATE MEDIA
"Money & Media"

Corporate Media sunk this Country.

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. You mean

Corporate mentality sank this country. But, the media is sure helping.

[Budi]

27. Corporate owned Media drove the message they selected.

[wnylib]

23. All very true and well said.

So, what do we do about it? Shouldn't we be raising hell in public over this? Public demonstrations and marches to demand coverage from the media? Carry signs listing the overlap between media ownership and Republican policies and politicians.

We will not get media coverage and responses on real issues by complaining among ourselves. We need to go public, not just on social media, but in person.

Maybe combine protests about MSM with fund raising for independent media.

[FM123]

5. Exactly!

[pecosbob]

6. This applies as well to those Dems currently holding up the party agenda

It's pretty simple...serve the people or serve the corporations.

[Buns_of_Fire]

7. Refusing to pay for it. Their Lord and Master's business model. nt

[Thunderbeast]

8. This is the same gameplan that Reagan and Milton Friedman played in Chile.

Dramatic tax cuts create fiscal "crisis".

Authoritarian government guts social programs to resolve.

Middle class dissapears.

Rinse.

Repeat.

[empedocles]

10. TY

[Budi]

12. K & R Yup, Reagan & Friedman

[MiniMe]

13. No 'T' at the end of Schiff's name

Sorry, I just can't help myself

[grantcart]

16. Actually not correct

"Paying" for it would have meant cutting expenditures and/or raising other revenues to offset it.

They passed the cut and now refuse to approve the borrowing needed to keep the lights on because they emptied the till.

[Tommymac]

17. K & R for fiscal responsibility nt

[Bev54]

18. Carrying on the Trump tradition of never paying his bills.

[Hekate]

19. And there you have it

[Evolve Dammit]

20. It really is that simple, isn't it?

[Cha]

21. Rt TY

[lame54]

22. Take the money and sit back and do nothing

[Blue Owl]

24. K and fucking R

[Champp]

26. K and r

Same fundamentally dishonest Republican strategery as the Fake god Casino Hustler, who stiffed contractors and subcontractors all through his foul, criminal career as a big city "developer."

Deplorable. No wonder only US COVIDIOTS and Russian dark-ops trolls respect Republicans any more.

All honest, honorable people can smell the stupendous stank rising from the G.O.P.
