You were ok with Cheeto Mussolini spending your grand babies’ money?

I have convinced my daughters that I don’t need grand babies. No problem for me 😄

trumplethinskin gave $3M of your grand baby's money to me in a PPP "loan" as an incentive to vote for him.

Worry not, I spent it well. Send your grand babies to Solstice 2024 and they can enjoy the byproduct of their contribution.

Is now a good time to talk about extending my tax cuts? My corporate cuts are continuing of course. But an extension of the personal cuts....or if I may be so bold, an increase, is well deserved.
I saw the worst minds of my generation empowered by madness, bloated farcical naked,
dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.

Sir, I believe the slides are clear: Republicans favor limited spending and small government.

You say that with real conviction, I like you.

Just a 3% rate cut would result in about $20K in tax savings for me next year. That would pay for the countertops and new appliances in my monkey business property, Casa Troche y Moche. That is the kind of limited spending I could get behind.

All I ask is that you think about it. It would be a nice way to say, "Merry Fuckin X-Mas to you Japhy!".

What about government subsidized drone delivery of medicine and cheese in rural impoverished areas like the Empire?

We are in line to do a couple thousand projects around the country with these folks. We designed their prototype launch platforms and recharging arms.

doubt this is serious, but…

Sen. Hawley to Introduce Bill Reversing Citizens United

Because, Hawley:

Jane Mayer
@JaneMayerNYer
This ‘reform’ doesn’t touch nonprofit corporations- where most of the dark money is, nor private companies, like Koch Industries. Why are they exempted?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Completely misleading story (no surprise, since RCP is dark money funded with ties to The Federalist)
Hawley's bill would ban companies such as Disney from big donations--but "non-profits" such as Citizens United(also dark money funded--Koch brothers etc) would be EXEMPT

-------------------------------------------------
End Citizens United
@StopBigMoney

Senator Josh Hawley has introduced a bill to "overturn" the Citizens United decision in order to… punish corporations that support voting rights. 🤦 This bill is nothing more than an empty threat targeted at corporations that didn't want to overthrow the 2020 election results.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Jake Sherman

@JakeSherman
🚨NEWS — SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL went after
@HawleyMO
in a closed Senate GOP meeting today.

HAWLEY signed onto an end Citizens United bill.

MCCONNELL told HAWLEY he's only in the Senate because of the Senate Leadership Fund — which accepts unlimited contributions.

MCCONNELL warned that anyone who signs on will get heavy incoming from the right.

The nonpartisan CBO said on Wednesday, however, that Republican’s plan to cut IRS funding could lead to a $26.8 billion reduction in revenue over the next 10 years - resulting in an additional $12.5 billion to the nation’s deficit.

DO you understand how stupid it is to be pounding the table over spending money when your solution costs TWICE AS MUCH? It's peak GOP performance art with zero actual attempt to govern.
