    That's in the past. If I'm wrong about what's in that tax bill so be it.
    The point is they are addressing an important issue.

    That being said simplification is a bigger issue in corporate taxes.

    As it relates to this thread Democrats need to move forward on governing

    Last time I checked it was Mueller, a REPUBLICAN that was leading the investigation.

    Collusion isn't a crime and it's not what Mueller is investigating. I think he should be allowed to see who engaged in illegal activities

    I understand the sentiment that the FBI sees a need for an investigation.

    Again my issue is Democrats aren't focused on governing. We can talk about how Republicans were obstructionists with Obama. Two wrongs don't make a right.

    There are internal problems in the party that need to be fixed. Let the FBI do it's job. Democrats do their job

    Just what do you propose the Democrats do? Do you think the GOP is interested in bipartisan ideas?

    Work with them on the tax code? When the code wasn't allow to be debated, or even read by the senators, do you have any idea what you are saying?

    Every time one of you well-intentioned people replies or posts in this thread, the absurdist thread title gets elevated again, which was the only point of the OP starting it. And Vladimir cracks that evil smirk of his.

    First of all, infrastructure of was the one topic of major importance that people on both sides saw as a place for bi-partisan agreement. Especially as a way of generating jobs and catalyzing economic growth.

    Unfortunately, Trump and the republicans chose to postpone work on infrastructure until 2018. Instead, they prioritized extremist programs such as repealing ACA. building a wall, immigration ban, and most recently tax cuts (not reform, and included ACA repeal). Which of these programs do you believe Democrats would be willing or able to work with Trump and the republicans?

    Russian minister Markov admitted in February, in a direct reference to the US election hacking: “We helped a bit with Wikileaks”.

    Agreed. I believe the actual news items should remain in the Connecting the Dots thread.

    Why feed the thread of another useful idiot?

    Keep wearing your tin foil hat you conspiracy theorist old food.

    This Russian Collusion nonsense is to democrats what the Birthers Movement was to Republicans.
    Both political party elites upset they lost because they can't connect with people and are
    isolated in a bubble.

    Saying Trump colluded with Russia to win the election is like saying Obama is a secretly a muslim.

    Both idiotic absurdist nonsense propagated by people that want to increase political contributions and sell
    newspapers.

    The fact that you buy into it shows what an idiot you are too.

    So did Trump lie when he said his campaign never met with Russians? Yes or no?
