Huh? How can a tax bill originate in the Senate?

Oh wait, sorry, I forgot that we aren’t bound by that silly Constitution any more. That was just the senile ramblings of a bunch of dumb old white slaveowners.

Speaking of stupid senile old white guys, do you think McConnell will offer ANY resistance WHATSOEVER?

My guess is that the argument will be that they are extending and revising a bill that’s already in effect, the Bush tax cut bill. Therefore, they will say, it’s not originating in the Senate.

Huh? How can a tax bill originate in the Senate?

I have been wondering the same thing all day while listening to the news every thirty minutes. Must be that now not only is the Constitution shredded, the rule of law in that nation has been sabotaged, and the rules of Congress are also expunged from our public life. Do whatever they want is the new norm - I JUST CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHEN IT IS THAT THE PITCHFORKS ARE GOING TO MOVE ON THE DISCTIRCT OF CORRUPTION? It would certainly appear that we are NOT able to keep the Republic.
