Good on them! Somebody doing the work of actually trying to figure out what happened with that massive bill instead of guessing based on one's political bent!

The IRS hasn't even figured it all out yet., they are still sending out 'splainers.. A colleague and I were just discussing that the other day as to policy change that might affect reasons taxpayers need appraisals, nobody seems to know for sure yet. They truly haven't totally figured out all that the lobbyists did yet. One thing's for sure: it didn't simplify the tax code.

The Hill is right to spend man hours on continuing to cover this, it's very important major cracks in GOP right before mid-terms of major importance:

A reminder that Bannon used Mercer money to get followers and believers and votes --- that's kaput. A reminder that he was also reaching out to a lefty economics academic who was protectionist on China in his last week of the White House. He's always on the lookout for new coalitions, for or against him. Clearly, he's still strong on anti-eilte and anti-establishment GOP.

Trump is most powerful when

Trump is most powerful when his interests align with the Koch Brothers' agenda. Look at tax cuts and deregulation (Trump/Koch)...vs.... immigration and the wall (Trump vs. Koch).

That's why Marc Short's departure is a problem. He was the bridge to Koch.https://t.co/6Awos3L5g6

FACT CHECK: FALSE.
TRUMP’s campaign most certainly did seek support from the KOCH BROS during the campaign, but the Koch network froze out Trump. https://t.co/aMqUPV8VMm https://t.co/Bp6oH5jYI3

looks like Trump is totally on board with the Bannonite anti-globalist-elite spin, at least for today (always got to keep the fans in mind!):

The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade. I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made.....

Top Koch officials deacribed the Trump White House as toxic to the country.

So this means they are going to support an all-out effort to flip both chambers and repeal the tax legislation, right?

They got theirs. But...it's never enough. There is no such thing as enough with this crowd. And since there is no such thing as society, other people don't matter.
