$1.5 Trillion GOP Tax Cut Thread

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Johnson and Corker vote no.

Flake as well.

The site jammed before I could change it.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The motion by Sen. King to return to committee has failed by a vote of 48-52.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

And Flake.


So what deal was just made?

They just voted against sending it back to committee. Nothing has really changed.

You don't just sit back and watch for an hour as a vote grinds on while you are the last remaining vote(s), then on a spur of the moment just say "oh yes, Nay".

[Santander]

And Flake.

Trolling - the foundation of modern conservatism.

Corker was definitely given a concession.

[Yank2133]

Yeah, Corker must have gotten something.

He likely got nothing but lip service (just like Collins.).

CORNYN: “It doesn’t look like the trigger is going to work, according to the parliamentarian. So we have an alternative, frankly, tax increase we don’t want to do.”

Edit: So to get votes for the bill, the tax cut may not be as dramatic?

It means corker can say "at least I tried" while still voting yes

I think it means they're going to make some of the tax cuts less extreme to get this bill to be deficit neutral, or something to that effect.

So Corker and Flake might kill this thing or they are going to pass a half assed version of the already unpopular tax bill

Florker gonna cave.

My guess is they pass something. But any watering down is great news.

Why is Flake even being considered

He's cuck of the year

If this thing seriously fails, we all need to write letters of great thanks to the Senate Parliamentarian, a true American Hero.

I still say this title belongs to Ted Cruz.

Man calls your wife ugly and says your father was part of a plot to kill a president and yet you still vote for everything he wants in Congress.

You've got a point. Cruz seems to enjoy to cuckoldrly though

He's even given up on being an outsider. Cucked by both Trump and McConnell!
