Ok guys. It's not over yet. Use this rage. Call your Representatives. We have to make this bill absolutely toxic in conference. Staffers report that the volume of calls about the tax bill was way lower than for healthcare. Flood the phone lines. Call, write, resist.

I called Comstock’s office after the House vote and told him to let her know I would be donating to and campaigning for her opponent. He didn’t even seem surprised and goes, okay I’ll pass that along.

How can any reasonable person defend this? Passing a major bill without having had the time to even read it? I hope this come back to bite them in the ass. I hope people wake up and realize what the republicans have done, that they are not looking out for their interest whatsoever, and that the top 1% may have all the money but we have more votes.

Rob Wittman is a slime ball too. I don't know if I told you guys but he "liked" a comment on his facebook telling him to ignore the haters. The haters being the dems in his district. He is such a fucker.

Both of my reps are very against this bill. Heinrich was going off on twitter yesterday. But I can call them to thank them and to keep fighting this.

I'm just...hopeless. These people are so greedy and only care how this will benefit them and their donors. They could care less how this screws the people they are supposed to represent.

The positive I’m taking from this is that I haven’t seen very many positive comments about voting yes. So I truly think some people will pay for this in 2018.

Senate Passes Sweeping Republican Tax Overhaul Bill nyti.ms/2kbkOZ4In overview of what was bartered and traded. Wondering how long it will take for any kind of comprehensive analysis of whatever was slopped together last night.

Also, SOMEONE DISCUSS TREY GOWDY WITH ME. He's the worst. Absolutely loathsome and corrupt. Not at all surprised he fired someone who didn't do what he wanted during the Benghazi investigation.

Fuck Trey Gowdy.
I know that's not really discussion, but he's gross and I'm pissed so that's the best I can do this morning.

crunch YES. I'm not in Comstock's district but I will be working hard on her opponent's campaign. This. I’m also not in her district but friends are, and I know they want her out badly. We will do what we can! In the meantime I’ll contact Warner and Kaine and my rep and thank them for keeping up the fight.

My rep is a pig fucker who voted for it. He might be swayed because other NY reps upstate voted against, but I don't know.
He's also really hard to reach. Conveniently. I'll start calling.

So, assuming Trump signs this bill by the end of the year, when will it actually go into effect?

Last month there were rumors of language referencing and defining "unborn children" in the law related to 529 college savings accounts. Plus the Johnson repeal, which may have also opened the doors to all 501c3 non profits endorsing candidates. Anyone sees coverage on whether these two made it through?

Fuck the Republicans and their stupid tax bill. Plus the ruined the excitement over Flynn for me yesterday. The only "good" thing I can say is right now Trump hasn't done anything for the economy other than benefit off Obama's success but he keeps taking credit for it. When he ruins the economy and everyone except millionaires and businesses taxes go up his stupid followers are going to be pissed.
