Spin Zone / Re: Will it pass? Tax reform.
« on: December 14, 2017, 06:05:38 PM »
The Republicans have already screwed the pooch. In an effort to just “get something done”, they have cobbled together a giant pile of shit. Just yesterday things leaked out about JCT agreements on things that weren’t in either the House or Senate Bills, such as a 37% individual rate.

I met with a client today and basically just told him they are making this shit up as they go along.

The ONLY thing that is happening is maneuvering as to how this can fall within the Byrd rule so they don’t have to use 60 votes to pass it.

If anyone says this is simplification, I’m going to kick them in the ass. This is anything from it. It is also NOT the panacea tax cut the republicans are frothing over. Yes, businesses will get the lions share of the benefits, and it will be paid for by tax increases on the people making $100k - $400k that don’t happen to own a business. No one is talking about that.

And my take is not lib talking points. It comes from reading the bills, and seeing notices come to my email every two hours.

If you take a look at the election results, you'll see that Republicans did not come out and vote for Moore. He got less votes than Trump did in the presidential election. True, turnout is lower for special elections but the turnout for Doug Jones was massive.


 If you look at the election results you will see that the McConnell cabal's last ditch plan worked.  The write in candidate crowd would have given Moore the election had Mr. Turtle and his crew not pushed republicans to write in a candidate.  This is the classic "vote split" game to take down the front runner.

 And please don't try to say those write in voters were democrat, they weren't.  Plain and simple, the republicans threw this election in favor of a progressive loon.  McConnell owns it.

Plain and simple, McConnell owns this one.  He torpedoed Mo Brooks, then he torpedoed Roy Moore.  When it looked like Roy Moore was going to overcome the allegations, McConnell's trolls started the "write in" campaign to split the vote, and it worked.
Yep. Even my favorite feminist Tammy Bruce last night said that she truly believes that McConnell wants to be the minority leader and is willing to lose the Senate to prevent Trump from having a successful presidency.  I shit you not.

Hope the procedures go well.  And I do hope you give a thought to all those left leaning scientists and researchers who made it so those procedures could be carried out safely.  What do you know, academia can be more than a bastion of evil.
Have you ever noticed how freely you generalize about others whilst loudly lambasting them for doing the same?

I wrote a thank you letter to the surgeons and staff for saving my life.  The first surgery was of the emergency type.  I am grateful for all people who have chosen to enter the healing professions, and I let them know so whenever I encounter them.

Democrats couldn’t care less about two lesbians in Oregon, anymore than they care about fudgepackers in in Colorado. It is all about forced compliance and subjugation to the state.
That gives democrats a bone, every time.

Spin Zone / Re: The British hate the 2nd Amendment

They hate our 2nd Amendment.  Not like it really affects any of them, but for some reason many over there (and in other countries) cannot seem to abide the existence of guns.

I think they've just been holding a grudge for the last 242 years.

Elementary scho...I mean indoctrination centers, are working on the next generation so by the time time they are old enough to vote and begin to run things, gun possession will be as abhorrent as drowning kittens.

What I meant was I foresee this getting voted down at the last minute.
It looks like this provision is out, and that Corker and Flake are also out, but they should have 50 votes in the Senate to pass a bill. Ron Johnson became a yes vote overnight.

With McCain and Collins apparently becoming yes votes, I’m scared to death to see what they gave those two libtards.

Between a tenth to a third of the total.  The vast majority were loans given by and to folks trying to make a quick buck.
No, they were ALL given by folks trying to make a buck.

When the government says "do this or else", and IF you do this, we will guarantee that you don't lose, what lending institution is going to refuse that?

Let's see,
If I don't make these risky loans, then I will be ineligible to go to the lending window at the Fed and I will go out of business.
But if I do make these risky loans, the government will assume the risk and I will make a profit even if the loan goes Tango Uniform.

Duh,

If she runs again, it won't be as a Dem. They want nothing to do with her anymore, and even Bill can't sweet talk them through it again.
Remember the "Bull Moose" party?
Perhaps she will run for the "Bull Dyke" party.

LOCKER ROOM TALK IS AS BAD AS BEING ACCUSED OF ACTUAL ASSAULT?

If the accused is a conservative?  Oh hell yea!

True, but they are some of the ones that are trying to defeat tax reform because it infringes on their tax deductions, when their taxes have nothing to do with the rest of the country.
They are perfectly justified in taxing themselves, but they have no right to expect the rest of the country to subsidize those taxes.
While I have concerns about the tax plan, as a high earner in a stupid high tax state (CA), I am fully supportive of the removal of the State Income Tax deduction, the only possible way more fiscally responsible government is possible in MA, NY, CA and such is for the citizens to suffer the full cost of their stupid leadership and half-baked ideas.

But wait - he's sorry, and he's a liberal. So that's ok, no harm and no foul.

This is the double standard that passes for ethics.

The good thing about all the hysteria is that it is causing a lot of Democrats to reconsider the whole Bill Clinton affair.  In his case, multiple women also came out under their real names and with plausible stories only to be branded as whores and liars by the entire Democratic party, merely because of political forces.  And Hillary is also taking heat for defending her sexual predator husband and humiliating his victims.

Personally,  I want to see a real trial with real evidence and if Moore is convicted, then he deserve all he gets.  But if he is exonerated, then his accusers and the complicit parties, including the media should have to pay up big time.  And if he loses the election, and is then found not guilty, they should hold a special election that could overturn the tainted one.

We have whole generations now that are completely disconnected from reality thanks to several factors. The young generations are miseducated by schools that emphasize social reengineering instead of history and the hard sciences, we are pushing the time a young person can work for their keep later and later, we have completely eliminated any kind of physical apprenticeship, entertainment is completely skewed by political agendas as you two just pointed out.

American young people are now three generations removed from the last one that fought and won a war of decisive victory.  Except for the poor, which is another story, most have never remotely experienced any kind of hardship. They are spoiled beyond the imagination of anyone in a third world nation. They have no concept or appreciation of how it has been overwhelmingly male brains and labor that has brought them the lifestyle they enjoy. Political correctness prevents them from being exposed to that FACT.

Despite women in the workforce it is still overwhelmingly men who carry the burden of family support and feminism seems to bitterly hate this FACT, despite the reality is that it is mostly by choice, not discrimination. We now have the second generation of youth raised with the dislogic that white males are responsible for keeping women oppressed while at the same time it is women who are the supportive backbone of a family.

The truth is that males and females are inherently different (another FACT that PC detests) and their contributions to the household are different and equally important. Woman have always excelled at nurturing while men at providing. Despite how today there is much more crossing over between these roles, they still overwhelmingly follow traditional gender lines. (It is still overwhelmingly women who take time off with a new baby and who provide care to elderly parents and who CHOOSE to take part time jobs or sequencing careers.) Meantime men are expected to bring home as big as possible paycheck regularly and reliably come hell or high water.

The difference is today he is not thanked or appreciated for doing that, he is not the hero, on the contrary he is slammed for somehow oppressing women's careers while performing as demanded. Likewise women who actually focus on their natural nurturing role (want to be stay at home mothers) are slammed for upholding the oppression of their own gender.

Young women today have absorbed this sick ideology just from sheer media repetition.

Spin Zone / Re: Texas constitutional amendments

The career politicians of both parties have no motivation to reduce spending.  The bigger the pie, the bigger their piece.  They only care about their personal wealth, and power which grows with more spending, and bigger government.  In this regard, the Republicans are bigger hypocrites than the Democrats because they LIE about wanting less government, and lower spending.
They're eating their own in Milwaukee County. The liberal County Executive Chris Abele proposed raising a wheel tax from $30 to $60. The also liberal County Board members are having a shit fit, saying their constituents can't afford it, and are saying that before their constituents are told to find it in their budget, the county needs to look at IT'S budget and see where they can cut waste. So of course the first place Abele goes is that he will have to cut Police, Fire, and first responders.

SHAZAAM!  Finally some libs are seeing the problem with spending OPM, as articulated so well by Margaret Thatcher.
