Senate Dropout Jeff Flake says Tax Reform still in question

Arizona's congressman, Jeff Flake, who is fed up with Congress, says the budget is on-track for passage but Tax Reform is not certain. Democrats got their way eliminating Trump's border wall funding adding things like increasing health allocation. Also in question is how GOP will pay for the tax plan and its favoring the wealthy. And Kevin Brady's secrecy isn't helping with lobbyists having a field day. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that it's difficult "not to give tax cuts to the wealthy," which Flake agreed with. Guess we should be glad he is going.

GOP not sure how to pay for their Tax Reform...

Kevin Brady planning just heaps on more Republican secrecy...

Democrats got their licks in...

Gun laws don't work?-Bullshit

Justin Haskins says, "Strict gun control will never work in America," and "evidence clearly shows gun-control laws don’t work, and even if they did, they could never realistically be enforced nationwide." NOT TRUE! A study with data from the CDC, the NRA-ILA, and The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence shows the average gun-related homicide rate per 100,000 people among gun control states (3.31) was lower than those with no regulation of private gun sales (4.28). The recent non-partisan National Bureau of Economic Research found 10 years after the adoption of right-to-carry laws, violent crime is estimated to be 13% 15 % higher than it would have been without the RTC law. As far as enforcement, just need to get rid of Republican control.

Gun law naysayer wrong...

Proof gun laws work...

Right-to-carry causes more innocent deaths... 

Tax cuts for the wealthy-Are you ready?

Even Republican Rep. Peter King not sure

That's all they have left...the Republicans, I mean. After failing on the repeal of Obamacare, everything has been downhill. And the tax cuts are a must in order to hold the Party together. Rep. Peter King (R/NY) questions the fairness of the bill, and critics claim it is skewed to the wealthy and corporations with the middle-class and low income screwed. Even Republican constituents don't want it. Reuters reports that just 28% of the public support the tax plan, and USA Today says Donald Trump relies on lies to sell the tax plan, with 31% saying we would be worse off. Typical GOP.

Last ditch effort by GOP...

Republican constituents don't even want it...

Public in general doesn't want tax plan...

Like always, Donald Trump lies...

Is Steve Bannon runnnig for President?

That's Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon appears to be on a breakneck path to the White House leaving leaving Republicans in more disarray, wondering what's going on. Trump's former top adviser, a white nationalist, anti-semitist and racist, seems intent on overthrowing the GOP. Who cares about the Republicans but not with this in their place. Mitch McConnell and his gang have declared open warfare on Bannon with a year before the 2018 elections. Right-wing billionaire Robert Mercer is Bannon's banker and the scary part of all this is many of Trump's supporters are also behind Bannon.

Can Arizona elect a Senate Democrat to replace Jeff Flake?

Not so red afterall

Arizona's GOP thinks the Exit of Jeff Flake from the Senate gives them a chance to hold on to the seat. His popularity had dropped to 18% and was expected to lose against contender Kelli Ward in the primary. There are numerous potential candidates (see links below) that may plan to go up against Ward who tried to outlaw enforcement of federal gun laws in Arizona, and is a Tea Party insurgent. Being from Arizona and closely following the politics here, my gut tells me that state Progressives are ready to take up the mantle, elect Kyrsten Sinema and start turning Arizona blue.

Republicans struggle to fill Jeff Flake's seat...

Arizona a fairly red state...

Jeff Flake's Senate exit a shock...

Arizona Republicans worried...

Trump first 9 months better than Obama Presidency? Bullshit!

The insecurity of the Oval Office

Sarah Sanders, clueless mouthpiece of the Oval Office lunatic, made the statement in last Wednesday's press briefing that Donald Trump's first nine months had out performed Barack Obama's entire presidency. The accomplishments she pointed to were mostly ludicrous with the usual distortion of the truth. Like 1.7 million jobs added in that period when the latest data reveals only 1.33 million, projecting that 2017 will end short of prior years. The insecurity of this man is so obvious by always comparing with Obama and taking credit for his accomplishments. Pathetic!

How could Adam Lanza's mother not have recognized his abnormalities?

Adam Lanza pic should be enough

Adam Lanza did not just snap in the killing of 20 young children in the 2012 Sandy Hook School gun massacre. He planned it for a year while fascinated with past shootings, having "many similar characteristics and behaviors with other active shooters." He was attracted to young children implying pedophilia, he "was obsessed with firearms, death and mass shootings," and his mother, Nancy Lanza, whom he killed, was concerned about a month before the shootings when he became a shut-in, covering his room windows with black plastic. Good God, what does it take?



We should have known about Newtown shooter...
