Time's A-Wastin'

By Zamboni

It's 304 days to Election Day 2018. That's 304 days in which the Republicans in Congress will have to sell their rape-America tax bill and other appalling shenanigans to the voters, or risk losing control of the legislative branch.

They may not mention that last part, but they freely admit they have a sales job ahead of them. "We’re more than happy to take our argument [for the tax bill] to the American people in an election contest," Mitch McConnell said last month.

Hm. We'll see about that. Republican Congressional leaders dicked around Camp David today with the narcissistic sociopath who currently occupies the Oval Office, and we assume they discussed tax-bill selling and other campaign strategies. But from where we sit, it looks like for the GOP, today was another day wasted on the Fire and Fury furor. At his presser this afternoon, did Trump get questions about anything other than whether he's stark raving mad?

Not a great start for the New Year for these folks, and it won't end any time soon. Tomorrow Michael Wolff will be on "Meet the Press," and we don't see a single Republican in this Sunday show lineup who will be able to spend time selling the GOP agenda. It'll be all Fire and Fury, all the time.

Another day lost. Down to 303 and counting. We cats PURR.
