Christ. More “Both sides, same thing” bullshit, with the explicit corollary of “But Dems are always worse when they do it” on top of it. So, Ivanka’s the next Hillary, but that’s a good thing, unlike the real Hillary, who is the worst most lyingest corrupt harpy and rapist defender ever, or some goddamn bullshit.
I fucking want to scream at fucking everything right now. I fucking hate everything. The amount of overt and intentional normalization the media is pulling right now to excuse goddamn everything the GOP does while simultaneously treating Dems like the greatest monsters ever if they do anything approaching what the GOP does (above the board even, unlike the GOP) is….
Fuck everything. I’m going off to punch myself in the face a few times so I can hopefully wake up in a better time.

Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin’ there, there’s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted: I would go for the 7.
Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Ted: You guarantee it? That’s - how do you do that?
Hitchhiker: If you’re not happy with the first 7 minutes, we’re gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That’s it. That’s our motto. That’s where we’re comin’ from. That’s from “A” to “B”.

Why “Odd”, Patricia? Blaming Democrats for each and every f*ckup, failure or blowback Republicans are responsible for has been SOP for the GOP since Newt Gingrich’s Speakership at least. They know they have a compliant hack media to flog the meme for them, so why should they care?

I’d suggest a new rule - no plan can get acted upon until there’s been at least 3 days after the JCT and CBO have each issued their scoring. And no tax action can occur unless we know how it affects Trump’s tax situation personally.
