Kellyane Conway: Tearful cafeteria worker says "THANK YOU for my tax cut!!!"



“I don’t have any personnel announcements,” Conway began, before pivoting toward ripping the Fox News report. “I have to say I’m just fascinated about all the stories about palace intrigue and personnel, and a lack of stories about policy, it really is amazing. Thank God the president himself goes out across the country, like he did for two solid days this week, and takes his message directly to the people.”

As an example of Trump taking his message directly to the American public, Conway pointed out that the president went to Missouri and “heard first-hand from people, including a tearful cafeteria worker saying, ‘Thank you for my tax cut!'”

Host Steve Doocy seemed a bit taken aback by Conway’s criticism and pointed out to her that, while Fox News does focus on policy issues, there has been a lot of turnover at the White House in recent weeks.

“This has been a big week for personnel changes,” Doocy said. “That’s why there’s this speculation.”

“The president has this right!” Conway insisted.

Where was this? Missouri's kind of a big place.

But Fox finds out that reporting on the chaos in the White House moves them onto the shit list real quickly. Better ramp up the toadying and the sycophancy; Daddy Mad!

In every area women have to be better. She is outlasting everyone around her. She is more dishonest, deceptive, and immoral than her Trumparian colleagues. She is simply better at being full of shit than the rest of them. You go girl.

She's probably going to end up owing at tax time.

What are the odds she'll remember who caused this, though? Assuming the cafeteria woman actually exists, of course.

Maybe 1 in five will pay more, bunched in States with high state and local taxes.



Of course we will pay for these cuts with borrowed money, bigger deficits. I wish people understood that the real tax rate is basically the amount govt spends. The tax rates just determine when it will be paid, now or later.

But cutting taxes is a political winner in the short term, and when the bill comes due someone else will be tagged with the political cost.

Is it possible to explain that to voters? I don’t know.

My pension check increased but my withholding decreased the same amount. I’ll be putting that extra money in savings. A tax collector will be asking for it later.

I thought the teacher who talked to Ryan was being sarcastic and he missed it, as well. The "i can pay my Costco membership" was meant as a slap and he saw it as something to brag about.

My new motto for the coming elections this year is: "Mind your knitting"

Every Republican has got to go. Congress can't do our work until they look more like who we are as Americans: totally diverse.

The fat old white dudes in Congress are not even representing the real interests of most of the rest of us fat old white guys. Guys who look like me need to step aside.

My guess is that it "feels a lot better" to her that it actually is. This is about her public support of The Dotard, nothing more.

Mar 2018

A company executive launched into a discussion of employee payroll deductions by saying, "I hope you are enjoying your new tax cut."

After a few seconds of general grumbling, smirking, and snark in the room, someone spoke up with, "We will as soon as we get one."

The general mood among this group of 98 percent GOPers was disappointment.

I, however, was thoroughly amused by it all.

Is so happy over a possible Ten dollar a week tax cut ( if that much) because she knows it will help defray the added expense of more costly health insurance (if she has health insurance)
