Joe941's JournalAre we setting ourselves up for failure (Tax plan)?
I read story headlines that say the rePUke tax plan raises taxes for most of the people. Much of the talk here echos the same sentiments. But from all my research the tax plan is certainly going to decrease my taxes to the tune of a couple grand a year. I think most people are going to see their paychecks tick up too. What will people think when paychecks go up? Two words: fake news!
Instead shouldn't we concentrate on the negatives of the bill that will happen: national deficit, healthcare/ACA being gutted, medicare/medicaid cuts, personal tRump gains, etc. etc. etc. (add 100 other things).
It just seems like most of the focus is on something that isn't going to come true when we could be calling out all the things that will come true.
I don'tt know do you agree or not?
Chuck Schumer Calls For Tax Vote To Be Delayed Until Doug Jones Is Seated

Why did senators who asked Franken to resign hug him afterwards?
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/7/16746770/senate-floor-al-franken-resignation-speechSeems fishy to me. You think he is unfit to serve and yet give him a hug goodbye? Also why would you hug a man you are asking to leave because of groping? Weren't they afraid of being groped themself? Somerring is fishy here.
Democratic leader moral superiority
We were told Al had to go because we are the morally superior party - we are the party that stands up for the innocent and down trodden. But what kind of morality is it to throw an innocent individual under the bus? In this country we structure the justice system so there is a very high bar to be met to declare someone guilty. Even 1 out of 12 keeps someone from being declared guilty. This is because we have decided as a society it is better for a guilty person to go free than for an innocent person to be convicted. So morally superior? No, sadly not this time.
Whats done is done....
So let's put this sad chapter behind us and move on. We didn't lose a seat and we have good leadership that needs our support. We need to elect more (D) and take our country back. I understand the feelings but we must be smart about this and not fall apart in the most dire times. Take a few days and vent but then come back and support our leaders and get behind the cause.
Pelosi votes no to impeach tRump.
Why!?! If we can't agree on this we are doomed!

I stand with the senators calling for Franken resignation.
This should not be a partisan issue everyone should join. Here is the current list calling for resignation:
Dick Durbin on Illinois
Patty Murray of Washington
Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
Mazie Hirono of Hawaii
Claire McCaskill of Missouri
Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Kamala Harris of California
Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin
Debbie Stabenow of Michigan
Bob Casey of Pennsylvania
Joe Donnelly of Indiana
Sherrod Brown of Ohio
Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota
Ed Markey of Massachusetts
Michael Bennet of Colorado
Patrick Leahy of Vermont
Maria Cantwell of Washington
Dianne Feinstein of California
It is general knowledge that the tax bill also destroys...
the Affordable Care Act? tRump and his ilk failed to out right repeal the ACA but are doing the same thing by stealth in this tax bill. I think if the general public knew this they would be much more active in defeating it. We need to spread the word about this if we are to defeat the tax bill - which by the way really helps tRumps personal finances.
