Hot Karl Marx posted:Democrats are going to get blamed ruining the economy with the tax bill (that just passed lol) Democrats take congress in 2018 but not enough seats to impeach making Trump a lame duck for 2 years and preventing the democrats from fixing anything. Democrats take the presidency in 2020, but lose their congressional majority in one or both houses due to low voter turnout because of lack of enthusiasm for their play it safe milquetoast "Hey, I'm not Trump!" candidate. Economy crashes in 2021, democrats are blamed and republicans take both houses. Democrats lose to Kid Rock in 2024 election, and the cycle continues ~~~~~~

The economy isn't going to wait until 2021 to pop. It's going to crater loving hard next year and has already been starting to dip. The bill won't go into effect immediately, but it will cause an immediate reaction. This is the biggest and most blatant wealth transfer up in the nation's history at a time when it is needed least. The tax increases on the people who actually spend money are going to grind the economy to a standstill.

Do we know if this tax bill is retroactively affecting 2017 yet? I just got an email from HR today letting me know that they approved my tuition reimbursement and are depositing it to my bank account, and need to know if I need to withhold some of it to pay the income tax.

Soulex posted:Then threaten them with taking away funding if they don’t. We pull out and lose our ability to influence geopolitical situations. Trump gets re-elected for putting America first and saving taxpayer dollars. Turkey is invaded by Russia, China imposes a blockade of Japan, President Pence is elected because democrats are "weak on defense". President Pence is relected on a promise to outlaw self driving cars after an army of newly unemployed truck drivers march on Washington. Effigys of Senator Musk are burned in celebration. Republicans secure a permanent congressional majority as blue leaning New york and L.A. are washed away by rising sea levels and monthly CAT 5 hurricanes.

That is such loving bullshit. The GOP observer gets cold feet and suddenly it's back to a tie. God dammit. Seriously looking forward to the GOP observer at the coin flip screaming that tails actually means heads because the eagle has a head on it so therefore... gently caress these people.

My conflict: 1) The state is gerrymandered to gently caress and every vote doesn't count the same, with Democrats winning like 8% more votes but only tying in the Virginia legislature. That's anti-democratic (small d). 2) Every vote needs to count, even stupid people's votes when they don't just request a new ballot from the election official (either in-person or by mail). Doesn't matter which candidate they picked. Gonna be a consequential coin flip!

How’s it done in Virginia? I would think that the judges make the final determination on the discards after the initial recount is finished. That’s how the article makes it sound.

Chances are Scalise told Trump that joke behind closed doors a while back. You can't tell Trump anything without expecting he will repeat it at a really stupid time (recall: dead soldiers knowing what they signed up for). By the way, that whole ceremony is one gigantic Democratic ad in a few months.
