I think the first Tax Heist victim could be Mousseolini himself.

... Now that the Plutocrats are about to get their payoff in the form of America's future, what use do they have for Donald Trump?

He's a fool and an amateur and he's sure to take the billionaire's plan for a jobless recovery, lucrative stock market crash, and eventual economic recession and nosedive it into massive job loss, a reduction in stock market values before the inevitable October crash, and a depression instead of a recession.

Seems to me like as soon as The President signs that bill into law, everyone who profits from it has a large interest in cutting the rope on him.

1. Good point

They have their tax cut. Who needs more chaos?

2. Wishful Thinking

The desire for those on DU to believe that ANYTHING bad will happen to Drumpf, is completely unrealistic.

Accept the fact that the repubs will do NOTHING to diminish Drumpf, let alone get rid of him.

They're all the same. The repubs can live with the occasional embarrassment, because, well.....he's a repub, just like them.

6. Oh, hee hee, I'm one of those folks....

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those folks who is sure that the Republicans will get away with absolutely everything.

But I don't think they have any loyalty at all to Trump. He's just the tool they used to get what they want. Now that his usefulness is at an end, a Trump in his natural state might just appear to be just as much of a liability to them as he is to us. I also think it's feasible that they might find him an attractive bit of chaff to be blown out before the missiles of the enraged electorate find the Republicans in the 2018 mid-terms.

Unlike Democrats, the Republicans and particularly the people who own them have a dozen different viable ways to usher Trump out, and unlike us they're not limited to ethical or legal choices, which expands the option suite considerably. The only real question is what do they think is the cost of retaining him? If that number is too high, he's gone.

8. Why Is His Usefulness At An End?

He's still a repub. He will still sign anything they put in front of him.

Why would they get rid of a rubber stamp?

Getting rid of your own is something only the Democrats do, a la Franken. The repubs are stand by their man types.

10. It's the treason. Too much of a distraction...

... Too close to showing the black hearts of the entire GOP, and it's happening at the exact wrong time, when the GOP needs to distract from its own criminality rather than allowing everyone to see that it extends far beyond their own bullshit "patriotism."

2018 has the potential to be a genuine era-ending bloodletting because if pissed off voters vote out Republican state legislatures just before the census, Republicans can't gerrymander the Congressional districts, which is how they control the House.

If that happens, they're through, forever, because there aren't any young Republicans anymore. Everything the milennials don't have today is thanks to the GOP, and they all know it.

3. they got everything they ever needed from him november 8, 2016.

he could have resigned or died moments after being sworn in and they would still have gotten their tax heist, it just would have been signed by a different republican.

there's really nothing particularly different about tomorrow vs. yesterday as far as their "need" or attitude toward donnie.

4. Republicans will never admit they where wrong.

If anything this will embolden Donald to fire Rosenstein. "The American people have spoken."

5. Trump will have what he wanted as well. He got to play President and he got a lot of money.

[Vinca]

7. They have their "entitlement" programs to eliminate first.

Don will sign anything as long as he gets a ceremony.

[madinmaryland]

9. No. They need tRump to run interference while they destroy all safety nets

and programs created by democrats since the 1930's. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, 401K's, Pension Plans, and so on. Lots of destruction for these billionaire motherfuckers.
