“The Cut Cut Cut Act”

Trump certainly understands his voters.

House GOP bill reportedly will now keep top income tax rate as is. Missed their deadline for releasing the bill, however...

if this top news would have come out yesterday it there'd definitely be at least three repeating words in this thread title

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 16:54 (six years ago) link

Still, behind closed doors, there has been back-and-forth between House Speaker Paul Ryan, and House Ways and Means chairman Kevin Brady about the naming of the bill, including multiple phone calls in the past week.

Ryan initially kicked the naming over to Trump because of his penchant towards branding, according to a senior Hill aide.

Ryan and Brady have pushed back on the naming of the bill. However, Trump has held firm.

Trump has been insistent that the bill be called “The Cut Cut Cut Act.”

even the thing that trump is supposedly good at, he is bad at

I find myself thinking more and more of the alternate universe where the unmoneyed Trump is in the nursing home where he belongs.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 16:59 (six years ago) link

wonder if he's subconsciously influenced by the recent republican primary when a pizza magnate introduced his "9-9-9" tax proposal and captivated a nation

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link

“The Cut Cut Cut Act”

Even Sarah Palin would be embarrassed by that name.

nickn, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link

I doubt that.

WilliamC, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link

This past year all makes so much more sense if you assume that Trump has been trying really hard to look like a dipshit so that they'll just make him stop being president without forcing him to resign like a loser. It's a more believable narrative than the sad reality of the situation.

She'd name it the "Cut Baby Cut" Act.

dude is an excellent salesman, one of the best. This should really call it the cut cut cut Act.

- Cut Us Some Slack Act
- Is Trump Gonna Have to Cut a Bitch Act
- Cut MAGA covfefe @$T

guess who said it?

“We need quick justice and we need strong justice. Much quicker and much stronger than we have right now, because what we have right now is a joke, and it’s a laughingstock,” he continued. “No wonder so much of this stuff takes place. And I think I can speak for plenty of other countries too that are in the same situation.”

I'm going to start the December thread and it's going to be called 'USA Politik + Præsident Trump December 2017'. That way I'll have finished my ban right in time for the end of year nominations.

“One thing Steve wants Trump to do is take this more seriously,” the Bannon confidant told me. “Stop joking around. Stop tweeting.”

Has anyone tried using the magic word, maybe that's the trick.

this is the day trump became president

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 17:44 (six years ago) link

In a series of phone calls with Trump on Monday and Tuesday, Bannon told the president ...

So how is Bannon's role outside the WH any different than it was in the WH? Less oversight?
