Because Republicans can't govern, the House is going to have revote on the #GOPTaxScam



Here's what happens when people who don't know how to govern, and care even less about doing it right, try to pass massive legislation. Some time during conference on this tax bill, someone in either the House or the Senate put in two provisions aimed at helping far-right Christians that won't pass muster in the Senate.
----------------------
The Senate is still planning on voting on the bill later tonight. At this point it looks like they will just strip the two provisions and pass the bill, then send it back to the House for a revote tomorrow.

And we thought 'earmarks' were a thing of the past.

Bob Corker still has no idea how he got so lucky!

Lisa Murkowski was just pointing out how wonderful Arctic refuge oil is going to be for Alaska!

Sexual harassment? Does that have anything to do with ethical behavior? Which is nonexistent.
