Senate Republicans trim tax bill to secure needed votes - Polidicks

Nothing says "I care about the debt and deficit, I'm a fiscal conservative" quite like ballooning the deficit by 1 trillion dollars, and then saying that it actually reduces the deficit somehow.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;52940698]And enough people voted for these people to make this happen. All so they can say "fuck libtards*[/QUOTE] And people will continue to draw false equivalencies between Democrats and Republicans.

[QUOTE=Durandal;52940713]Nothing says "I care about the debt and deficit, I'm a fiscal conservative" quite like ballooning the deficit by 1 trillion dollars, and then saying that it actually reduces the deficit somehow.[/QUOTE] Republicans never cared about the deficit unless they wanted to use it to bludgeon Obama

[QUOTE=Coolboy;52940456] How come you guys didn't overthrow the government 3 times by now...[/QUOTE] Because the American people don’t give a fuck. I know it seems like we care on here, but those that aren’t just totally apathetic are a tiny, tiny minority. Net Neutrality might get one or two protests out that fizzle away after an hour but that will be it. Nobody cares enough here

This is it. This is the exact moment that the middle class was executed [editline]2nd December 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;52940658]Welp, time to grab a bugout bag, new air rifle/sling shot, and get fit. Because fuck this, I'm going innawoods.[/QUOTE] You got room for a /k/ommando and his infant son?

God damn it my fucking uncle is going to be kicked off of his healthcare. Im going to college next year, how the fuck do they expect me to afford fucking student loans? Nah I understand, thise rich people REALLY needed those fucking private jet tax deductions, I get it.

Is there anything that can be done about this now?

[QUOTE=myon;52940845]Is there anything that can be done about this now?[/QUOTE] Hope 2018 slaughters the GOP?

[QUOTE=bord2tears;52940855]Vote in 2018 to slaughter the GOP's hold power?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=bord2tears;52940855]Hope 2018 slaughters the GOP?[/QUOTE] And while we're at it, do more than just hope. Engage with people, spread the message. Even the most politically apathetic of people will understand why this is hot garbage [t]https://cmgwsbradiojamiedupree.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/tax211.jpg?w=640[/t]

[QUOTE=bord2tears;52940855]Hope 2018 slaughters the GOP?[/QUOTE] Iirc only a tiny number of senate seats are going up so even if the dems win all of them they’d have a majority of 3-4 extra people

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;52940658]Welp, time to grab a bugout bag, new air rifle/sling shot, and get fit. Because fuck this, I'm going innawoods.[/QUOTE] Not to salt the wound, but didn't you help vote this administration in?

Is it possible that a court can throw out the law if they find that it isn't actually revenue neutral and violated the senate rules for reconciliation?

I say we make a petition to downgrade the US from a democracy to an oligarchy. This flagrant disregard for the common American is atrocious, and is an insult to the notion of democracy on a titanic scale.

only 2 parties was a mistake

[QUOTE=archangel125;52940924]Not to salt the wound, but didn't you help vote this administration in?[/QUOTE] I mostly voted for Democrat-NPL and Libertarian in local elections. Voted Trump on the main platform because of gun rights. Either way, ya' can always bugout in the woods when things goto shit.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;52940994]Either way, ya' can always bugout in the woods when things goto shit.[/QUOTE] That’s really comforting, thanks. Fucking hell man are you serious? You willingly voted for the human embodiment of vicious, middle class-crushing, capitalist greed and his geriatric cabal of corporate-owned sycophants for the sake of your gun rights? Your guns won’t be worth shit when you lose your healthcare, wages, and social security. All that talk about fighting back against a tyrannical government is pointless bravado. We are in the middle of a corporate coup and the historic plundering of the middle class social safety net, in part because you voted out of fear that the Democrats were going to strip you of your Second Amendment rights. Nice.

Either way, ya' can always bugout in the woods when things goto shit.[/QUOTE] so you voted for a candidate based on whether you could hide in the woods from them afterwards?

[QUOTE=Cone;52941018]so you voted for a candidate based on whether you could hide in the woods from them afterwards?[/QUOTE] I mean, its clearly a colloquial phrase. If you're going to be literal with it at least pick one that isn't clearly one.

[QUOTE=WrathOfCat;52940964]only 2 parties was a mistake[/QUOTE] We have more than 2 parties, it's just that systems like FPTP cause elections to go to primarily 2 parties.

Either way, ya' can always bugout in the woods when things goto shit.[/QUOTE] You made a mistake imo. I hope you don't lose your healthcare because of this bill!

[QUOTE=Fort83;52941037]Yeah because your [I]precious [/I] guns are more important than healthcare, education and social security. /s[/QUOTE] Hey, he can use those guns to stand up against government tyranny and demand those rights any time he wants to! ...He just don't wanna, and would much rather be living la vida hobo in the woods hiding from the problems he helped to create in the first place. Just like the founding fathers intended!

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;52940994]I mostly voted for Democrat-NPL and Libertarian in local elections. Voted Trump on the main platform because of gun rights. Either way, ya' can always bugout in the woods when things goto shit.[/QUOTE] I'm just gonna' bank on getting picked up by some foreign company if/when the economy collapses and the brain drain sets in. Better than squatting in squalor for the rest of my life. Honestly I'm not even really worried about my future in this case, I'll probably be fine. Sorry for people like you and everyone else without significant marketable skills though. Thing're gonna' get [I]real[/I] hard for normal folk in this country if things keep going this way.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;52940994]I mostly voted for Democrat-NPL and Libertarian in local elections. Voted Trump on the main platform because of gun rights.[/QUOTE] And this is why Trump voters are the laughing stock of the rest of the world.

Thank you, John Mccain, for showing us you should probably retire when you are 86, dementious, and have brain cancer.

I vote for issues that immediately concern myself at that point in time, nothing else. As already stated, I voted mostly for Democrat-NPL and Libertarians. I usually vote for Democrat senators and representatives.

I'm sure that it'll be tons of fun dealing with the constant threat of starvation! Nothing like a few days without food to make a can of beans seem like a gift from god. Lmao, remember that wave of "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE FUN OF US FOR VOTING FOR TRUMP LOOK WHERE IT GOT YOU!" And yet now we've got republicans practically crayon-scrawling legislation and people who're like "Well at least I can give up the security of society in order to ride out the ensuing shitstorm!" Truly the initial mockery wasn't enough. A voting bloc full of adults with the reasoning skills of children. Good luck to my fellow Americans, I'm skipping this country the moment it becomes reasonable to do so before a civil war breaks out because the republicans don't get their tendies or something stupid like that.
