GOP senator slams Pelosi as 'almost unhinged' on taxes

Source: The Hill



BY JOSH DELK - 12/10/17 07:00 AM EST

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) suggested in an interview broadcast Sunday that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had become "unhinged" in her opposition to the Republican tax reform bill.

"Nancy Pelosi has said the [the tax bill] is the end of the world and this is Armageddon," Barrasso told host John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York.

"The statements are almost unhinged. People like Nancy Pelosi run for office so they can basically try to grow the government."

Barrasso, who has argued that major tax cuts will spur economic growth and create jobs, said that the legislative conference for Republicans to work out differences between the House and Senate-passed versions of the tax bill is "pretty darn close" to approving final legislation.

Again, this has a nice ring, "FUCK YOU Asshole"

You, Asshole are from a right to work for less state, you have barely enough state taxes to pay for anything, you borrow money from the federal government to supplement your tax base, while your state, gets a mineral tax from the Powderhorn coal mines up near Gillette, strip mining and sending that coal dust to the powerplants which in turn creates acid rain for the entire country and decimate's the health care of animals and human beings and plants to the east.

And the average salary on a yearly basis in Wyoming is a little over $31,000 a year.

But your state makes up for this to the fact you have the one shot kill of Antelope in the state each year, after all there are over 500,000 antelope in a state that has a little over 100,000 people, gotta make money some how, besides Yellowstone and those fees going up or skiing in the Teton's, which after all are really owned by the first citizens of the state, Cheyenne, and Arapaho, that don't make a dime off those industries, do they Asshole.

Then, you have all of those well heads in the Muddy Gap area, doing exactly what, nothing, except giving tax breaks to the oil company because they are either one, idle, or two they only produce so much oil off a selcet few wells, to give a tax break for the oil company, saying the area is still producing, just to get the tax break, for both.

Then, lets get into ranching, you, asshole and your ranchers get leases from the BLM to put a fucking cow on the range , and they get a tax break using the BLM land to ranch, that we taxpayers help maintain, while we get nothing except the ranchers whining about Bison (Tanaka) having some disease, that's the ticket blame the species that helped the people of the region as being the problem for greed.

So that's why there aren't million of the native species running around there, and the simple fact that your racist cowboys eviscerated the species, for sport and whatever they wanted to do to the mammal, while at the same time damn near wiping the Indigenous people in that region, and then putting them (Cheyenne, Arapaho, for example) on the Wind River Reservation to make them feel good, while not giving them any money from the oil rigs, the coal strip mining---------------------------FUCK YOU Asshole.

And then you have the audacity to say that my leader who is protecting me from the likes of you is unhinged......FUCK YOU Asshole.

Hey, asshole, who and what is the government, it is me and millions of others , asshole, and I want my government to protect me from the unhinged right wing traitor supporting assholes like your leader a fucking turtle and eddie munster and you, while you stand behind him having a wet dream on how your fucking everyone in Wyoming and across the country.

Whenever you stand being your fucking chicken shit traitor loving leader fucking gerrymander majority , how does it truly feel to be whispering in his ear saying let's fuck people out of hearth care, but we keep ours, decimate CHiP's for children, but give that money too corporations that off shore profits from the Powderhorn and oil and gas industry in your region.

Here is a fun fact Asshole-------------------now go and tell there mothers and fathers that my speaker Pelosi is unhinged when your fascist right wing malignant narcissistic supporting party is trying to kill these children------------your the DEATH PANEL Asshole

https://nashp.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/default/files/CHIP/2012/NASHP-2012-Wyoming-CHIP-Fact-Sheet.pdf


I was living in the state asshole when your party took away my deductions from credit cards and bank loans interest rates to give old Ronnie the fascist bigot Reagan tax breaks for wealthy, and then going around with Arthur Laffner, the first time giving everyone something called trickle down economics, and ever since we the middle class have been under attack from assholes like you.

You, FUCKING Asshole want to privatize the government and every time a government has been privatized, they have failed, your unhinged party is a failure and 2018 cannot come fast enough, because if and when we do get the majority we are going to tax those off shore havens and the rich at 90% and we are going to have medicare for all, and we are going to have our deductions


So in closing Asshole-------------------FUCK YOU

The Republican Party has been a criminal conspiracy for the past 50 years. Every Republican member of Congress deserves a lengthy prison sentence for destroying the foundations of our democracy because of their greed.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

... but yeah, I agree with everything except the number. Reagan was elected in 1980, so it's been maybe 37 or 38 years. That's when the GOP was taken over by pod people.

There's been a lot of talk about Nixon and Watergate lately on DU (and rightly so) but that was done by a relatively small group. In the early 70's there still Republicans who were patriotic, good citizens, and country-before-party. I grew up in the Midwest and my parents and grandparents were proud Republicans. For many years I remained inpedendent because I used to think there might be a time that I might want to vote for a Republican.

I came of age in 1972, voted Dem for the first time, and I have to tell you that I've never voted for a Republican for any major office. I finally realized that I never will vote for a Republican ever, and I joined the Democratic Party in 2008 because I wanted to support Hillary in the primary. I'm glad I did, because the reality is that the GOP is evil.

However I'm old enough to remember Eisenhower who was (mostly) a good president, and I grew up in the 50's & 60's when it was still respectable to call oneself a Republican. There's no self-respect left among those people though.

9. It started with Nixon

Ailes, Stone, and Buchanan got their start in that administration, and have been poisoning our political dialog ever since. (Well, at least Ailes is gone, but his legacy lives on.)

Nixon selected a VP so corrupt he was taking kickbacks from Maryland developers in his official office.

Decent Republican politicians became a dying breed after Nixon took office, and were virtually eliminated by the time Reagan won the election after interfering with Iran hostage negotiations.

Now every last one of them is a fucking traitor to this country.

...stuffed with who-knows what at the last minute, without deliberation, hell, without typesetting. Hand-scrawled illegible amendments? What was "hinged" about that?

Pelosi's doing her job. Do yours, senator. (The one you were voted to do, not your other one.)

We do not support your tax bill because it's a piece of shit and gives more money to the people who have more money than half the world does! Go fuck yourself, asshole!
