Current Events > Hearings on Obamacare: 79; Hearings on Benghazi: 32

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hearings on the new GOP tax bill: 0

man, the word "hypocrisy" just doesn't nearly far enough to describe these people.
---

Because the GOP only pretends to care. Whatever they whine about Dems doing, they're even worse.
---

Are there questions about the constitutionality of tax reform, or did anyone die because of it?

If no, I'm not seeing why it requires a hearing

They walk among us... even use our own language, but these monsters can hardly be considered people.

You don't see why a 1.5 trillion dollar tax bill requires a single hearing? But somehow Obamacare requires 79 and a completely manufactured scandal in Benghazi requires 32? Lmao.

This tax bill will kill far more people than died in Benghazi, and unless it goes absolutely perfectly, might put us in another recession like GOP presidents are wont to do.

This is so Orwellian that it isn't even funny. The GOP should be declared an enemy of the state. Seriously. I don't see how with the FCC ruling and now this, the population being so vocally against it cannot stop it. Even more, I cannot believe that every single one of those greedy bitches have no moral ground. You'd think at LEAST one would.

Just gotta follow the money to see who's running the show. See I would actually like the GOP's tax plan if it provided any incentive for these rich people and corporations to invest their money in more capital or more, higher paying jobs. Instead there's literally 0 reason for them to do anything other than hoard their money.
That's one big point a lot of people overlook. When you give someone in the middle class (or lower) any amount of money, they're gonna put that shit right back into the economy buying something or paying something off or what have you. But super wealthy people? They're hoarding it! Every time! And why wouldn't they? Well they wouldn't if you gave them an incentive or even a requirement to put that money to good use in the economy. But that would obviously go against the GOP's real motivation behind this tax bill, which is just a pay off to those who put them in power. Its as transparent as you can get.

Bingo. The economy is going to go straight into a halt and watch, that's when Trump will try to become a "hero" and bring us into a massive war with the middle east and North Korea to get the economy moving again. War will be the only way we will get out of this shit and it will make him "look better" to his followers.
---

Jesus Christ that's a pessimistic view on the future lol, but I wouldn't say its out of the realm of possibility. I hope Trump doesn't escalate this war with North Korea, because it wouldn't just be them we'd end up fighting, Russia and China would get in on it too. And Americans have become so ignorant and entitled when it comes to war because we've never had to deal with it on our own soil. But once some bombs hit LA or Seattle or a major city like that, and we'll get our first true taste of war since the 1800s, then maybe these morons will learn that we can't just go around the world throwing our weight around and acting like no one is capable of doing massive damage to our nation, even if we would eventually win the war.

Usually, in war, there are no real winners. Just people who lose less than the other guy. America has been super lucky to have these oceans to protect us from that, but in this new age of war, they won't protect us like they used to.

Tax bills don't affect spending. That's what budgets are.

Ffs so any of you know how this works

The tax bill kills Obamacare's individual mandate, which is going to lead to people not being able to get the care they need, which will lead to them dying. Idk how you were incapable of figuring this out on your own.

No matter what your opinion on Obamacare is, you have to admit that intentionally making it worse is obviously not a good thing and will lead to complications for people that are in desperate need. Its funny how you conservatives hate on Obamacare so much and claim its failing while being the sole reason why it is failing. Of course this is 100% due to Republicans not wanting Obama to get any credit for doing anything good, and then they fucked up by dubbing the ACA "obamacare" which then led to Obama directly getting credit for 10s of thousands of lives that were saved because of it. Lol so now you want to ensure that a few people die by gutting Obamacare solely for political expediency. Thats evil and you're horrible people for thinking this is in anyway a decent way of behaving. You'd rather completely gut Obamacare and let people rot than actually fix it because then you'd have to admit that Obama did something right.

How pathetic!

So what you're saying is, no one is going to die as a direct result of this tax bill. You're talking about an indirect, speculative death that hadn't even happened yet as justification for this being a hearing like Benghazi did. By that logic literally any spending or tax bill will "kill people" indirectly.

I can just as easily say this will save some lives because people get to keep more of the money they make and they aren't burdened by Obamacares ridiculous fucking premiums anymore.

No you can't just as easily say that because its not a fact. And in fact is a stupid proposition. Lol and yes Mal, no one is sentenced to death in this tax bill, but in no way does that mean it isn't directly responsible for killing people. Its directly responsible for severing the one thing that is keeping some people alive, so that means its directly responsible for killing innocent American citizens purely for political expediency. But since they're poor, the GOP couldn't give less of a fuck if they wanted to. I guess cancer doesn't directly kill anyone either, it just causes their organs to fail, which is their true cause of death. Lol that's literally what you sound like.

Trump wants war.
War is a massive economy booster.
Victory in war for a president is a massive morale booster and drives confidence in the leader.

He'll want this. He's got practically nothing to lose.

War with someone like Iraq sure. But a nuclear power like Iran or north Korea, who also has the backing of China and Russia?! I don't think he'd even be able to do that even if he was stupid enough to actually attempt it.

This is Trump we are talking about. You can't put anything passed this guy at this point. He's been cancer since he took office. We will just have to see. There'll be no other way to get out of another great depression.

Yeah I'm definitely not lol, especially with how irresponsible his language has been towards a hostile nuclear power. He really is a moron totally in over his head
