With Straus poised to seek a second term as speaker the following January, he said he asked Dunn to meet in the hopes of finding common ground on “fiscal tax issues.”

Let's say it together: Republicans don't actually care about fiscal policy.

No they do. They care about scratching their donors’ backs, then telling rubes it’s for them, which they eat up despite not actually seeing any benefit. They also care about wrecking the deficit so they can screech about it the moment they lose power.

Revolutions start with "only this kind of people are allowed." Then they start refining what they mean by "this kind". Eventually, only a few people are in charge.

Any fucktard who believes the earth was created 5,000 years ago by some magical daddy in the sky should have zero authority over societal issues.
