Twozday and here’s the Gnuz

Republicans love their tax law. Voters aren’t so sure.
With polls showing Republicans have yet to make the sale on the tax bill, it’s not clear how much the new law will help them in November.
H/T Politico
Jury’s still out, but we have an electorate that’s gonna be the ‘hangin’ judge.

And,
House Intel votes to make Nunes memo public
H/T The Hill
So let’s see what the big deal is, remember this is a collage put together by just another nutjob ReichWanker.

Finally,

Thurzday, and the Gnuz is here, or somewhere around here…

Trump says he would speak to Mueller under oath in Russia probe
H/T The Hill
Well, yes, of course he’d like to, is totally willing to, and especially if he’s being treated ‘fairly’. But, alas, his lawyers aren’t going to allow him to answer any questions concerning his motivation, reasons for firing Comey, or how beauteous his mistress…

And,
Trump open to citizenship for DACA enrollees
H/T Politico
Again, he’s for it, until President Miller takes his cable teevee time away. Then he’ll cave and be against it.

Finally,
More US states eye donations to evade Trump tax changes
H/T Raw Story
There’s always a way to get around the tax system. The Feds can’t prohibit the states from letting their citizens deduct whatever from their state taxes. Period. Good ole 10th Amendment

House approves spending bill, shifting shutdown drama to Senate
H/T The Hill
So, you go to a used car lot, and the salesman says, I’ve got this beauty here for just $3,000! Got everything on it, you’ll love it!
You say, does it have power everything? He says, sure does!.
So, you test drive it, and it handles really poorly, the steering is impossible to use. You come back and complain.
The sales guy says, well, it doesn’t have power steering, but the doors and windows have power locks! They’re better!
That’s Trump. The deal breaker.
You don’t get to dictate what the other side negotiates. We want DACA. If you want to support funding for CHIP, do it because it’s the right thing to do. That’s NOT what’s on thte table.
The Art of the Scam, bait and switch. When you say you’ll sign the bill that is bipartisanly negotiated, then when the bill comes, you switch, you break your word.
That’s why no bank in America will loan this turd a dime.

And,
Trump’s new HHS office will protect health care workers who object to abortion

And,
GOP may skip budget, kneecapping 2018 ambitions
Lacking the votes and fearing political blowback, Republicans are unlikely to deploy powerful budget procedures to enact their agenda.
H/T Politico
Uh. Oh. With a House Divided into radical and slightly less radical conservatives, a Senate Majority of One, a prezidunce who can’t stay focused, the R’s, with control of the Executive and Legislative branches of government, can’t figure out how to govern.

(Disclaimer, not really X rated, but our ratings are down lately)

White House transcript from immigration meeting omits Trump agreeing with Sen. Feinstein on a clean DACA bill
H/T Raw Story
It would appear that the prezidunce, in an overly played effort to appear normal, agreed with each and every statement made by each and every person in the room. Including Nance Pelosi asking for a clean DACA continuance. Sad. Feeble. Artificial.

And,
Judge blocks Trump plan to end DACA
H/T The Hill
Oh, and Mr. Prezidunce, about that eggzekkitive order? Up Yours.

Finally,

Sometimes when a mob boss kills someone who betrayed him he’ll leave the body out in the town square for hours or days, a mix of final humiliation and example to others. Also, Breitbart just fired Steve Bannon
