While we're CELEBRATING, they're CELEBRATING THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN WORKER.

They had DT as long as they needed him: to pass their evil tax bill.

Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, said “we have the votes” and the Senate will begin voting later today.

• Three previous Republican holdouts — Senators Jeff Flake of Arizona, Steve Daines of Montana and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — threw their support behind the bill.

• The bill will now include a $10,000 deduction for state and local property taxes in a bid to sway Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who remains on the fence.

1. We're going backwards

2. Do they still have to reconcile it with the

house bill?

I suspect that the senate version might not be suffiicently evil and punative for the house.

Or is it a done deal if the senate passes it?

[pnwmom]

5. They still need to reconcile it, but they will be desperate to pass anything in their tiny window.

Either that or the House needs to pass the Senate version as is.

6. Yes. It still has to go through reconciliation. n/t

10. No It Does Not

The House can pass the Senate bill as is. That was their intention with the Health Care Repeal bill as well.

11. I'm hoping it isn't evil enough for the GOP house

because they have so many truly nasty individuals there.

Heck, it might not be evil enough for Paul Ryan.

12. They Just Want To Pass It

They know it's damn good for their donors, and that's all they care about.

13. Right, they dont give a shit about the deficit, who theyre going to kill

just want it passed to say they got it done. I hope they choke on it when in 2018 THEY LOSE EVERY HOUSE AND SENATE SEAT!!! and I’m not sorry for yelling either.

3. Let them pass the thing that will be the final nail in the coffin of this DO NOTHING DO EVIL PARTY.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. And it is so much worse than even most of us understand.

Make plans now to sell most of what you own.

For real.











oh, but emails

7. So what, maybe 'they' as in the voters....

Should have made better choices. Not my fault!

[MFM008]

8. They need a BIG distraction

IMMEDIATELY.

9. Exactly. This is no coincidence. n/t
