Rivers of Liberal Tears Flow After Republicans Pass Senate Tax Reform Bill

Democrats and their media surrogates like the New York Times threw everything into depriving President Donald Trump of a big legislative victory by sinking the tax reform bill but like so many other things in this year of their discontent, their efforts failed.

Thinks began looking bad when reliable allies like Susan Collins and John McCain cut and run on their Democrat pals and in the end, only bitter, backstabbing Bob Corker was left as the “Republican” who sided with the obstructionist Dems who saw the Senate bill pass 51-49 early Saturday morning.

Via Politico “Senate passes sweeping tax overhaul”:

The Senate narrowly passed a massive tax overhaul early Saturday morning, putting Republicans on the cusp of revamping the U.S. tax system for the first time in more than three decades.

The 51 to 49 vote came after Senate Republicans frantically rewrote the multi-trillion dollar legislation behind closed doors to win over several final holdouts, and left congressional Republicans just a few steps away from sending legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk. The House passed its own plan in November.

Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee was the only Republican to oppose the measure, in what’s also a big victory for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who repeatedly fell short in his efforts to push through an Obamacare repeal measure this year.

“I think one reason we were able to get there was because there’s widespread interest,” McConnell said in an interview with POLITICO. “Every single member of our conference wanted to get to yes, and all but one did.”

President Donald Trump praised McConnell and Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch in a tweet after the bill passed, adding, “We are one step closer to delivering MASSIVE tax cuts for working families across America.”

McConnell and GOP leaders were able to score the necessary votes on Friday by acceding to demands by Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and others for expanded tax breaks for small businesses, homeowners and others. That gave leadership the breathing room to reject conflicting demands by Corker and others to rein in the cost of the plan.

Democrats harshly condemned the legislation and the way it came together.

But of course, the Democrats condemned the legislation, they want no part of governing and at this point are so consumed by the mission to avenge Hillary’s loss and their irrational hatred of President Trump, they are about as useless as pieces of furniture.

Some of the early reactions from the sore losers – including those “leadership” figures who helped to establish the idea that the Dems didn’t need to even bother wasting time on issues that actually affect the lives of real Americans. They only pander to the low-skilled, lazy chiselers who are only motivated to vote because they are promised “free” stuff that productive members of society have to pay for.

Let’s start with the supreme commander of the resistance himself:

Now the rest of them who are as worthless as tits on a bull and need to be voted OUT, OUT, OUT!

Perhaps had the Dems spent a bit more time on trying to reach across the aisle instead of holding sham hearings on Russian election meddling they may have been able to get some of their input recognized but tough titty said the kitty.

They have nothing to whine about but their own lack of interest in jobs, affordable health care, lower taxes and any one of hundreds of other issues that matter to real Americans.

And it isn’t fantasies that Russia cheated Hillary out of the White House.
