Classic response to something you don’t want to believe. The Hill is a conservative media. Why I chose it for your link. But you can look up the coverage yourself saying the same thing from any number of sources across the ideological range of media.

Not, “puzzles (unknown) aide”

Not “details not yet known”

No, no “puzzles Washington”

My goodness, someone is puzzled. The sky is falling. Tulemutt on his boat doesn’t already know about new legislation in the early stages of development. Quick, someone row out to Tule’s boat and give an update.

Lol. As I just wrote: what tulemutt on his boat knows or doesn’t is immaterial. What the GOP and presidential aids don’t know is what’s being reported on. Including a raft of GOP commentary about how Chump can’t do anything before the elections as he says ... because ... congress has gone home to campaign until after the elections.

Details details.

Who said anything would be passed before the election? In 2 weeks?

Trump never said he’d pass a tax cut BEFORE the election in 2 weeks. Lol

As I said, you aren’t reading what you are rebutting

In recent days President Donald Trump has twice promised a new “major tax cut” ahead of the November midterm elections, mystifying White House officials, congressional leaders, and tax wonks around town who mostly have no idea what he’s talking about.

Wow, dude. Time for reading comprehension 101. You are interpreting this sentence incorrectly.

"Trump has twice promised a new “major tax cut” ahead of the November midterm elections"

This does not mean he is going to pass legislation in the 13 days before the election. It means he made the statement that he would, before the election. Not that is would be passed before the election.

No comprehension problem at all. He is making a promise pre-election that requires congressional approval ... which ... can’t even begin debate ... when they aren’t in session. And indications are, from reaction so far, they - the GOP - aren’t likely to favor it.

Do YOU comprehend how the government works? Or just take Chump’s word for it?

I'm not a permanent California resident, so I can't vote.
If I could I'd vote a straight Republican ticket.

With Trumpites slowly taking over the Republican party, there is real energy for creating positive change in our country and fixing the giant mess that Bush and Obama created. Considering how poorly the democrats are running California at the moment, I'd say the time is ripe for new people, preferrably conservatives who'll put American citizens first and work toward building the much needed infrastructure California needs. Also, Californians need to start voting for candidates who will attempt to fix our immigration situation. Those who favor sanctuary cities need to be voted out of office. CA needs candidates who'll strongly enforce immigration laws. Illegal immigration is costing California tax payers billions of dollars every year.

It surprises me that more Californians aren't outraged by the amount of money that is wasted on illegal aliens every year.

You’ve now shifted from asserting that Trump claimed to pass legislation in the 13 days before the election to pivoting about how Trump is bad because he is making campaign promises. You claim (incorrectly) to know how government works. As such, you should know that politicians make promises before an election. The difference of course is that unlike the people that you support, Trump has actually fulfilled most of his campaign promises in spite of politicians that you support.

I’m getting tired of correcting the record/misinformation and dealing with your personal raw hatred where you have to call people names because they are pushing back against your social agenda. It’s exhausting.

I did not “assert that Trump claimed to pass legislation in the 13 days before the election ...”. I linked you to coverage of Chump making claims he can’t gain his party’s and congress’ support on before the election - and not likely after it. Your comment to CA4Now was

Well CA4Now, Trump just announced Tax Cut 2.0 tonight to give an additional tax cut of 10% targeted at the middle class.

I responded with a story link about how none of the GOP or Trump aides know what he’s talking about. And I have subsequently pointed out that making such a promise 13 days pre-election - when his party is out on the campaign trail and not available to consider any such proposal (which has no details as usual anyway ... just flying blind ... off the cuff remark from him) is typical blather from the Chump.

You’re damn right I despise the guy.

And freakin hilarious you are tired of me calling him names ... but pay homage to him. Who calls people names more often or worse than the Chumpster?
