When they pushed through the massive Tax Cut for the Rich

[edhopper]

on a straight party line vote, no one in the media called for bipartisanship, or questioned them on passing a bill with a 30% approval.
But now, the COVID Relief bill, with a 70% approval rate should be changed because no one in the GOP will support it.
Fuck them all and pass the bill.

[Irish_Dem]

1. There were no cries for Unity back then.

Pass the damn bill NOW.
Help the American people asap.

[edhopper]

7. No

Donald won and he could get whatever he wanted. Even with losing the popular vote.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Biden wins with a mandate and we have to do a Unity hug with the enemy.

[Lettuce Be]

2. I may have to get a "Fuck Them All" t-shirt and just be done with it

[blueinredohio]

4. Maybe a vote them all out. Start all over.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

45. I have a shut the fuck up

Shirt I wore when the orange ass was in there.

[SoonerPride]

3. Funny how that works.

It never ever changes either.

Two sets of rules.

Democrats are supposed to bend over backward and seek compromise as well as obey every written and unwritten rule of fair play, the law, and good will.

Republicans have no rules.

[Oldem]

5. Well, repugs have one rule: do everything possible

for the big donors and special interest groups who keep you in office even though you're in the minority. Now that I think of it, there's another one: cheat to win.

[Baked Potato]

6. MSM "news" anchors pull in millions $$. They love them tax cuts.

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. Yes, but they are nothing but readers. Their corporate masters

pull the strings and THEY love the repugs and their tax cuts.

[Baked Potato]

40. Agreed there.

[DENVERPOPS]

55. People tend to forget

that 80%+ of all U. S. News Media is owned by Republicans...............

[BlueNProud]

8. that bill hiked my taxes.

[edhopper]

9. Yes

middle class increas the next 3 years.

[BlueNProud]

10. I never voted GOP but at least I figured my fed taxes wouldn't go up

now they just flat out suck all around. Who votes for these f ers, they raise your taxes!

[uponit7771]

13. +1, nearly 40% of the MAGA Minions east of me taxes went up because I know they

... have SALTs capped like I do.

But

These stupid asses still voted for TRUMP !!!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

27. What, pray tell, does SALT mean?

when I google it I get salt, you know the stuff we sprinkle on food?

[BlueNProud]

29. State And Local Tax deduction

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

34. Thank you.

I thought it meant Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty.

Please give full information on abbreviations.

[edhopper]

31. They capped the property tax deduction

at $10,000 mainly to hurt people in blue States.

[uponit7771]

37. +1, the red state I live people depended on SALT deductions and Red Don snatched them

... and they still voted for him.

Seemed like something they'd notice hurt them

[BlueNProud]

38. They don't care. It's all culture war all of the time.

[uponit7771]

12. Mine tax burden increased too

[BlueNProud]

20. I used to get refunds. Last week I cut a check the US Treasury.

For not a small amount either. It really us crazy what they did. How anyone votes for these people is something I'll never understand.

[uponit7771]

42. +1, we're in exact same situation and this is a red state and they still voted for Putin's

... Whore.

[Yavin4]

28. I've been crushed three years in a row.

Had to pay over $1000 every year for the last 3 years.

[hibbing]

14. I approve of this message n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

15. And the journalists writing these crappy articles should be emailed and told just as the OP states

Make them squirm!

[onenote]

24. Why don't you start by sending a message to the author of this article.

https://time.com/5072678/gop-tax-reform-bipartisan/


The OP is BS and everyone is buying it because they want to.

[ancianita]

16. Fuck all fascists, pass the fuckin' bill and unfuck this country.

[czarjak]

17. Congressman Ryan would like you to know it was tax reform, not cuts. "Steeped in the protocol"

[kairos12]

18. M$M cares only for ratings and Trump.

[NewHendoLib]

30. this.

[pansypoo53219]

19. more proof they are still sucking reagan's dead ass.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Thank YOU!

And Fuck Them!

[Bettie]

22. And NO ONE ever talked about understanding the majority of people

who didn't vote for that orange creature!

[onenote]

23. Your memory is different than mine

I remember virtually every story about the repub tax legislation talking about how it was a party line vote.
https://time.com/5072678/gop-tax-reform-bipartisan/

[edhopper]

26. Yes

and they said that was fine because the GOP won't. Not that they needed to reach across. Trump always had a mandate from his voters.

And yeah, you found one article, big wup.

[FakeNoose]

25. You're so right - All they said was "F*ck your feelings!"

We need to return the favor.

[Jon King]

32. My hatred for all things Republican grows by the day...

Completely worthless party made up of completely worthless leadership. We truly are at war against every single Republican in the country. Those that vote blindly based on religion or finances are every bit to blame as Trump and Cruz.

[radius777]

33. We need to put pressure on Manchin and pass the bill

in a straight party line vote, with our fabulous Kamala smiling as she gavels it in.

Biden won 81m votes on this agenda, it's what the people support, and it's time to dunk of these fuckers and show them who's boss.

[SunSeeker]

36. Exactly. Pass the bill. It's what the peoe want. Fuck Collins anf Romney.

[sarcasmo]

39. Bipartisanship when the Democratic party controls all three branches of Government.

Money media is predictable.

[Jay25]

41. That's the only way Democrats will get anything done.

[iluvtennis]

43. @edhopper - you said exactly what I think, thank you!!! nt

[pansypoo53219]

44. more proof they are still sucking reagan's dead ass.

[Blue Owl]

46. And suddenly Mitch McFuckall is concerned that everyone knows what's in the bill

Fuck that two-faced sack of shit and the turd he floated in on.

[edhopper]

47. And how it will

affect the deficit. Fucking POS.

[Catch2.2]

48. EXACTLY!!!!!!

Agree 100%

[lark]

49. Never forget, the media is owned by the rich.

It's a strong thread running through everything the media does in the US and probably elsewhere as well. That's why they don't push repugs to consider what Dems aka working class wants.

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. Tax policy is but one of many reasons for virtually NO ONE to ever vote for them.

For some zealots, though, one issue is plenty to win their vote. Female reproductive rights, for example.

[Pepsidog]

51. Yep

[cstanleytech]

52. Personally I think we need to take a page out of their playbook and increase the tax the wealthy pay

with our own party line vote.
We can even use the legit excuse that its for the betterment of the country since the wealthy have the lions share of the pie while the ones currently supporting everything with their taxes are those getting the crumbs and are struggling to even pay their rent and keep food on the table.

[Heartstrings]

53. Why do only democrats have to "play nicely" in the sandbox? Nt

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

57. meanwhile, the righties are burying their shit in it.

[LiberalLovinLug]

54. This is the REAL "new normal"

Started inching that way before Trump came onto the scene.
Where the press never includes polls from the general population on issues and confronts a GOP guest with them. Or even a purely Republican voter poll. Many time even they are over 50% support of an issue that R reps vehemently oppose. (Sane gun laws, pot legalization, universal healthcare)

The MSM is guilty too of devolving into the new normal of crafting their stamp on both parties....one is tax and spend liberal, and one is fiscal responsible, family values. When these brands should have been obliterated decades ago when Bill Clinton had a booming economy, W Bush crashed it, then Obama righted the ship again. Yet Republican guests still are allowed to ramble on about the Democrats wanting "free things" and how fiscally irresponsible they are, etc etc..

[JohnnyRingo]

56. Republicans always reach across the aisle...

...when they're crumpled up on the floor, but as soon as they get a hand in return, they kick us in the nuts and walk right over us. It obviously needs spelled out every day in Congress to remind them what it's like when they have a majority.
