Your editor thinks it was adorable when young Riley Waggaman said this morning that “Democrats win” on this whole tax cut thing, because c’mon, Riley, even Democrats themselves don’t think that. You are Thinking Progress too much. According to Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, and “many other House and Senate Democrats,” that strange, menacing smoke monster that makes them do things they don’t want to do is floating around being VAGUELY THREATENING again, so now they have to make a deal on tax cuts they don’t want to make. “In return, Republicans said they would probably agree to extend jobless aid for the long-term unemployed.” They’re letting Democrats kill off a valid “Republicans hate the unemployed” talking point. How nice of them.
In meetings with administration officials after the Senate votes, the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and many other House and Senate Democrats voiced deep unhappiness at the prospect of extending all the tax cuts and also expressed their belief that the White House did not appear to be getting enough for such a big concession, officials said.
But what are you going to do? Smoke monsters: They force you to give Republicans whatever they want.
Democrats could shut down Senate business until Republicans are shamed into extending unemployment benefits, but they would worry about their precious middle-class tax cuts, and economists tell them they need these tax cuts, because Americans need to devote every single dollar they do and do not have to increased inches of flat-screen televisions.
Thus these tax-cuts, passed in a time of prosperity for no reason at all except maybe to run up huge government deficits, will never die. Republicans can keep getting extensions for them until they wield enough power to make them permanent, but they will never have too little power in the minority not to be able to keep them around.
And breaking news: The Democrats have no backbone and will somehow get screwed in messaging on an issue on which America totally agrees with them. The end. [NYT]

Democrats "win" every time Republicans magnanimously allow them to lick the sauce and grizzle off their otherwise empty plates.
Grizzle or gristle?
The Democrats have no backbone and will somehow get screwed in messaging on an issue on which America totally agrees with them.
Actually, as Serolf_Divad pointed out in an earlier thread, the Democrats are screwing themselves. Which turns out to be surprisingly easy, when you don't have a backbone.
Typical American voter: Mention 'Democrat' and 'Taxes' and they Pavlovianly think "Raise"
There is 25 years of Post-Ronnie Raygun™ brainwashing to undo…
PS, Jack…"until Republicans are shamed"…ain't EVER gonna happen
Ain't that the truth. You can catch them wearing diapers with prostitutes, but they aren't ashamed. You can catch them being the bought and owned property of bankers and oilmen, and they aren't ashamed. You can catch them screwing 95% of Americans in favor of the very weathly, and they aren't ashamed. You can catch them living lives diametrically opposed to what they preach, and they aren't ashamed.
What could actually shame these people?
Being caught having gay sex seems to shame them, but that's about it. What do you expect from a party which has turned convicted criminals from two of their biggest Presidential scandals into major radio talkers?
It didn't shame Larry Craig, though. Anti-gay public personna, who was a regular cruising men's rooms for random hook ups, and that didn't shame them.
But it did cause his fellow Republicans to abandon him, at least, even though they stuck with Diaper Dave who had actually committed a real crime. So it at least makes the other Republicans feel ashamed to be associated with him.
Teh ghey.
Maybe.
Your mileage may vary.
Pfft here's the gay republican timeline
1. Caught blowing another man.
2. Become "saved"*
3. Business as usual – plus, get more donations from folks who admire how brave you are for turning the Jesus.
*Or just roll with being gay and weep about how big an asshole you were to other gays.
Agreed. Seems like the magic ticket is turn your life over to the Jeebsus, and suddenly you become the darling of the Republiklan Party. Funny, how those "family values" work.
My boss, who is a moderate Republican, was railing against the Dems during the health care "reform" debacle. I said that not fixing health care was fine if he was alright with people literally dying in the streets because they can't afford health care. That stopped him dead in his tracks and he hasn't complained about the reform since. The current crop in Washington DC, though, laugh at the bodies in the street as they pass by in their limousines.
Where else are you going to take a piss if you're out in public? Those dead bodies will finally server a useful purpose.
Yelling that the POTUS is a liar during the SOTU? Nope. Resulted in donations. Apologizing to BP for being "shaken down" after the biggest oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Resulted in re-election. When the "media' doesn't hold you accountable and shame you, you aren't ashamed. Period.
I think they'd first need to have a sense of shame before they could be shamed by anything.
True. Here's proof….A co-worker of mine who backs the republicans said he hated the republican govenor. When I asked him why he voted for the guy, he said he had no choice since the only candidate the GOP would support was a republican. And when I said that he could have voted for a democrat or an independant, he said that he didn't know who decided who runs as a democrat. So, I said, the democratic party. He said…..oh, okay.
Moral of the story is that ignorance is not just bliss, it is also politically expedient.
W.O.W. Just W.O.W.
Happy Monday, we're fucked. Now, go back to bed.
"And breaking news: The Democrats have no backbone and will somehow get screwed in messaging on an issue on which America totally agrees with them. The end."
Nicely done, kids.
Oh look, the Democrats are caving on an issue. Gosh, that hasn't happened since last week, has it? Why do we keep voting for these clowns again?
Democrats win = Republicans get what they want and whine about not getting more.
Republicans win = Republicans get what they want with less whining.
This is good, the demoRATS prove that they can reach across the aisle and try to be for ALL of America, not just some- (meaning the far left wing crazies). Certainly not anyone here…
Icon needs more jazz hands.
The modern Democratic Party is controlled by corporate centrists and has done jack shit for the left wing.

Rubbish, you got your socialist healthcare.
No we didn't. We got a "compromise" that bent over backwards to satisfy the insurance industry assholes.
No, the military has socialist healthcare. I dont see all Americans getting to sign up for the VA.
Your lies make absolutely no sense.
Jazzy Troll witch, Canada has "socialist" healthcare. We have corporate scum fox news hosts selling the stupid of this country a lie that we have socialist health care. Yes there is a difference.
Canada may have a public health coverage program, but 75% percent of services are within the private sector and there's a large private supplemental insurance market. So, we could have adopted Canada's much more progressive model and STILL not have had "socialist" health care. Shuffle ball-change!
I hope that when you die, your cats eat your eyeballs.
Bwhahahahahahaha…….!!
Sorry pauletteanne I am not rich enough or stupid enough to agree with you.
Do you have a newsletter? I'd really love to hear more of what you don't have to say.
Friends (if you have any) don't let friends troll on meth.
Friends (if you have any) don't let friends troll on meth.
—–You might suggest talking to your friends, then.
Oh, SNAP! A few more of those clever comebacks and you will totally break our will!
Oh yeah? Well YOU'RE already as broken as Helen Thomas, who was a Nazi for gay socialism.
Republicans played with the livelihoods of out of work people to get tax breaks for the ultra rich.
While your side does absolutely nothing for this country except suck all the wealth and resources out and hand it to the rich. Since you think your getting raptured, you don't care if you leave carcass of a country for future generations. You guys will be first to whine when your God forsakes you because of all the mess you created and leaves you here to soak in the mire you caused.
There are democratic politicians who have no spine and are helping your side to finish your side's little craft project to turn a beautiful country into some crazed hybrid of Mad Max and Left Behind movie.
While your side does
My side?? I am independent, I have no 'side'.
Even though I think most of you here are crazier than a sh*thouse rat, you are still Americans.
I come here because I dont like robots.
Independent?
My 80 year old father who watches FoxNews all the time and repeats all their talking points says he is an independent too. If you call anything that Obama or the Democrats socialist or communist, you have clearly chosen the side who screwed our nation. Calling people gay in a disparaging way because they are liberal, you have chosen the side the bigots and the Ann Coulters. If you think that the ultrarich deserve and need a tax break, you have bought line and sinker the dogma of the right.
You have not demonstrated to me so far that you possess an independent mind.
Surprise me.
Hell, fucking Bill O'Reilly calls himself an independent too. Lack of a Republican registration doesn't make a wingnut any less conservative.
Now, now, Marinmavin–Paultardanne did actually admit that we're Americans, which I'm sure she thinks is pretty goddamn magnanimous. In her mind, she's wondering if maybe that's too much of a compromise.
Actually, you come here to be virtually and ritually intellectually bitch-slapped. Every time you come here you consent to a verbal S&M session where you are attached to harnesses created by your illogical mind. That ball in your mouth that muffles your plea, "Please Madame, can I have another."
Crap, I really need to be paid for these sessions. Fortunately for you, I am a bleeding heart liberal. You're welcome.
OK, but if the person being slapped has no actual nerve endings, and thinks that she's really teaching the slapper a heck of a lesson about politics, I think the analogy breaks down a bit.
I come here because I dont like robots.
And yet you repeat debunked nonsense and run away when confronted on it.
Welcome to Wonkette! We hope you are having as wonderful a time as we are. A couple of suggestions: when you run out of material, fart jokes are good as always. Always, please do not refer to our republicunt comrades as "tea baggers", "mongoloids", "paint peelers", or "brown shirts". Have fun and, please, stay as long as you like.
Wait a second…what happened to your p-score? Our scores took a hit, and you were long famous for your negative p-score. Some people might say you have sold your soul.
Thank you for reading the thesaurus entry for "republicans". I would NEVER call them those things myself. Okay, maybe I DID call them "tea baggers" once or twice…if the shoe fits…
My score jumped 205 points while everyone else's went down precipitously. I find it hard to believe that my sleeping with the IntenseDebate administrator is the sole reason for this life changing event.
OMFG! You slept with the IntenseDebate administrator!
What is his or her number?…I gotta get me some of that hot p-point action.
It's just plain socialism. They took pee points from those of us with high scores and redistributed them to Comrade Metamacisf.
The tax code update will cut taxes for 98% of all America. it is the super rich we are talking about here. The Walton family. That is who the Republicunts want to give another trillion dollars worth of US debt. We will have to borrow money from China to pay for these tax cuts for the Hiltons, et al.
Going from 35% to 39% when the effective rate is actually 16% is not going to hurt the super rich in any way. They may have to look for tax shelters that produce jobs!
DemoRATS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I think the Republicans are showing a lot of moderation in these negotiations, in the sense that Mitch McConnell hasn't bitten the head off a live chicken and jumped on a table screaming "Give us the fucking money now, bitches!" in the last few days.
Turtles and chickens are a little too close genetically for Mitch to go bitin' they little chickee heads off. He's a greater danger to kittens, maybe, or baby harp seals.
I'm guessing McConnell can't bite bite anything harder than frozen yogurt. And jumping? I don't think so. Except jumping at the chance to screw the poor to benefit the rich.
Finally, a reason to knock off work early and start drinking!
And no one wants to see how Wonkette sausage gets made. Can you Overlords please conduct your disagreements on a private channel? Louis Freeh should be able to set something up for you.
How can anyone expect the rich to pay lots of taxes? They don't just have money, they also have power. The jobless hordes can scream and shout all they want, they'll only get crumbs if the wealthy eat cake.
Maybe if the the president asks real nice, and far enough in advance, the republicans will let him go home early on Christmas Eve, so he can enjoy roast goose with Sasha , Malia and Tiny Tim.
Fuck you, Karl Rove. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
Well said.
I hate these people with the heat of a Nova. I used to think that I just disagreed with them, but it has recently turned into a loathing I've never felt before.
When I meet a person and they say they are conservative, I immediately form an opinion of them and walk away as quickly as possible. I automatically deduce they're greedy, selfish, inhumane, religious zealot, bigot, racist, uncaring, uncouth, and completely lacking any feeling except for their love of money. People say, now you can't know those things just by learning they are conservative… It has come from YEARS of observation and being screwed and watching them screw others.
Obama: The Bob Crachit of the progressives
Does this mean Mitch McConnell or John Boehner will be visited by three spirits this Christmas? Because I'm thinking that Ghost of Christmas Future could scare the shit out of them.
All I know is that if we assassinate everybody that tells us the truth about our government, give trillions of dollars to the ultra-rich, put dinosaurs on our government funded 5-D arks and elect the most supertitous and hateful idiots among us to high office, everything will be aaaaall right.
Here's proof you're right:

Welcome to The New Normal!
Way back in the ghey disco1970s the richest 1% made 9% of the national income, while today they make 25%. CEOs who used to make 50 times the average worker's, but now make 500 times that figure. Obs, the rich need to keep their Bush league tax cuts and the DemRats are going to piss down both legs in rage, but just turnaround and give it to them in exchange for a few crumbs brushed off the Repugs napkins. Oh yea, our elected donkeytard boyz & grrls are just so tuff.
I'm still waiting for the millions of jobs to be created by the same people that have benefiting from the last ten years of tax cuts. Then we won't have to worry about extending unemployment.
Someday — I'm in the pool for June 12th, 2023 — China will send a tweet:
buying canada. time u pay. send $26,000,000,000,000 asap.
The Lamestream Media have a hard time with this concept, but it's pretty simple: every time the heathen Chinee buy another Amurrican bond, they're investing in us, and betting we won't fail. They have to put all their loot somewhere, and they seem to think US America is the safest place. The buyer of a bond can't demand immediate payment. As the old saying goes: if I loan you a hundred dollars, I've got a debtor. If I loan you a million dollars, I've got a partner.
r u sure? If I've learned anything from Sarah Palin, it's that tweets define their own reality.
Hong Kong's already made the down-payment on Victoria/Vancouver/British Columbia.
Since teh ritch get to keep their money now they can create more jawbs. Hand jawbs. Blow jawbs. Rim jawbs. Hose jawbs. Inside jawbs….
But, wait, I was told there's NO Sex in the Champagne Room.
Don't believe that subsidizing the bourgeois parasites creates jobs?
Check the latest unemployment figures for tiresome right-wing trolls. Excelsior!
I watched this fake/rehearsed show thingy on a cable TeeVee channel the other night, where this easily distracted referee kept "conveniently" looking away while this bad guy would be hitting this poor little guy with a metal chair. This channel was CSpan – and you can figure out the other roles for yourselves.
Let them eat arsenic based life forms.
It's tough being rich in US America. To have more money than one can spend, to buy things most people can't, to be able to kill people with your car and get away with it, to make your flying monkeys (aka GOPers) attack by flinging their poo at your bidding, tough to let the power of compounded interest work while you don't… it is tough.
I'm convinced! How can I make this work for me?
It makes perfect sense. Just look at all the jobs the rich bitch tax cuts have created so far.
*crickets*
Hello…
Is this thing on?
They did. Just, all the jobs are in Davos, & wherever else it is they have their confabs to discuss "the future".
So this means the Republicans will stop bitching about the deficit, right?
Hahahahaha….
*wipes away tear*
Republitards will add to the deficit blindly and with glee as long as it only helps them and other obscenely rich people and they can balme it on the black guy.
Tax and spend demoncrats, standard tard pablum for 50 years. 50 fuckin' years.
Democrat control = right gets everything they want while yelling, "tax and spend demonrats want to raise your taxes!!"
Republican control = right gets everything they want – AND get to blow up some shit!!
Well, really, that's our fault, too. Democrats, the beaten wives of the political process. What kind of sandwich do you suppose Boehner wants?
That's easy. Cockmeat on Wonder Bread ®, with a slice of good ol' American Cheese Food Product . The cheeze is what gives him that healthy glow, but the cockmeat is what reminds him of home.
And by "home", I mean the gas station restroom off I- 295 that houses Boehner's favorite glory hole.
And by "glory hole" I mean Eric Cantor.
Good one! The Repukes ARE the deficit! They don't pay their share of taxes
AND they sport a spectacular deficit of honesty, scruples, common sense,
and humanity. Is it time to drown them all in a bathtub yet?
Could we import some Greeks to kick off some long needed job riots in selected cities across the country?
Q for the day- why do democritters always cave in when faced with that anus-mouth creature known as Mitch the Bitch?
well, i say goombye america of FDR, HST, the modern version of dems lacks guts. thank the gods i left usa yrs ago for the paradise socialized medicine areas of Europe. here people vote their wallets, and don't worry about Jeebus or the Rich.
Democrats are negotiating in good faith. They can't seem to learn that republitards NEVER negotiate in good faith. Just proves my notion, democrats cave on all the big issues because they want the school bully to like them and stop beating them up on the jungle gym.
SIGH
Democrats need to compromise here and take a loss on all of these issues. I mean billionaires are more likely to spend money on Chinese made products than a bunch of unemployed who will probably just blow it on food. Food spending only helps agribusiness, who's subsidized anyway. Spending on cars and electronics helps our Bejiing masters, right?
By the way, I'm away actually working on something for a week and I come back and find my precious points massively deflated?? I guess I can blame that on that Nobama, right?
I guess I can blame that on that Nobama, right?
No one has come up with a better explanation.
Actually, tax cuts for the super wealthy are unlikely to substantially increase sales of tangible goods within the U.S. at any rate, Chinese-made or not, because the rich really *do* behave differently (duh) than the rest of us, and are much more likely to invest their savings into bonds or stocks of the latest complex-derivative based ponzi scheme than actually use it to buy yachts / televisions / etc, which they probably already own. This is not conjecture. It has been proven over and over again since the 80s, but for some reason, Reagan's nightmare keeps trickling down the leg of America and soaking the rest of us in economic piss.
Mine got cut in half when I suggested on HuffPo that complete government transparency on the US side only was perhaps a bit scarily one-sided. Gotta love it – the right considers me a libtard and the left considers me a wingtard!
Democrats will never win on principle in a country fascinated by reality TV. Ooooo. look at bristol's dress and forget the fuck about the rich weaseling out of paying their fair share.
That whole "fair share" thing sounds an awful lot like communism, pal… Oooh! David Hasselhoff has a new reality show. God how I love "The Hoff".
"They’re letting Democrats kill off a valid “Republicans hate the unemployed” talking point. How nice of them." Not to get all earnest, Jack, but fuck talking points: people really need that unemployment benefit. And since we're apparently not going to have jobs ever again, something has to keep people in Ramen noodles and flat screen TVs!
Also, as badly as I want the rich to get soaked, and how unsurprised-but-still-a-bit-disappointed that the Dems are caving AGAIN, do you really think anyone is going to really remember/care about this, at least until the two years are up? I'm not so sure. I think people theoretically are "with" the Dems and want to tax the rich, but I don't think most people really care all that much in the end, except for us libtards.
The problem with killing the talking point is that there also doing nothing for those who are unemployed. The Republicans win this round because everything they're doing is something that people see in the "abstract" while unemployment is something that affects millions of people. If one side is holding millions of people hostage, you have to negotiate. And then shoot the fuck out of the hostage takers but that would bring frowny faces from Broder and Gergen.
"Democrats could shut down Senate business until Republicans are shamed into extending unemployment benefits…"
Jack, one must remember, Republicans can't be shamed into doing anything.
They're not even ashamed of being Republicans.
And the Republicans have been trying to hammer this point home for the Democrats for years and yet none of them seem to get it. How dense can they be?
Ouch ouch ouch! What has become of your previously formidable pee, o Titty?! This outrage is perhaps the cruelest cut of all.
What in god's name happened to my peeeee score???
Hm. Obama and Congressional Demrats must be instituting the special kind Socialism characterized by favorable tax policies for the wealthy.
"Republicans can keep getting extensions for them until they wield enough power to make them permanent"
They already wield that power. It's called "noise in the echo chamber" and thanks to that power those "temporary" cuts are already permanent since allowing them to lapse clearly equals "tax hikes" that Democrats are afraid they'll have to suck on. And if the Democrats in congress didn't realize that that is how this would all play out when they voted in favor of those "temporary" cuts years ago then they are all as stupid as Harry Ried looks.
NOBODY is that fucking stupid!
But by playing stupid they build up goodwill with their corporate masters at Goldman Sachs.
Playing?
That damned multidimensional chess I'm playing. By voting for Barry O I've unwittingly made it plausible that I would leave this nation forever within the next decade.
God, no kidding. I have dual citizenship. Why haven't I left yet? The embarrassing truth is that I love America (when and how the hell did that happen?) and I'm stubborn about giving up on the "we the people" thing. But I could love Germany, I guess. At least I'd have health care and a pension. And, you know, really good sausage and stuff.
Yet Harry Reid stayed the course and did not insist that filibuster threats be actually carried out as, you know, filibusters. Because that would ruin the comity. Which is why he is beloved at Teh Wonkett, we are all about the comity.
Sure, interest is easy money. But the Riches really have to work for those dividends. It's like having a job in the steel mill, except it pays a lot better and you don't have to show up every day…well, you don't have to show up ever, really, and it's quieter in your third home on the Turks and Caicos (and if you can't get a first class ticket some times you have to fly private!), or at the Harvard Club, and there's not much risk of injury, and you don't come home exhausted and filthy at the end of your shift, and your "bills" are so trivial that you pay someone else to take care of them, and your kids are off at Choate or someplace, you can't remember, and your first wife is happy with the two or three houses and $50K/month settlement, and your second ("trophy") wife gives you blowjobs every morning and then goes shopping so you don't have to think about her much either.
Do you get my point here? The Riches are victims too! They've suffered enough!
Well, shit – I was all set to go on a righteous rampage but now I feel nothing but sympathy for those Riches. How can I help?
Pay moar taxes, of course! Do you have any idea what it costs to rent a villa in Siena for two months?
NOW I get it (slaps forehead with palm)!!! Reaching across the aisle means different things depending on which party you belong to. If you are a Dimocrat it means reaching across to give your Repug colleague a good handjob or reach-around. If you are a Republican it means fisting your loyal opposition with a wad of Barbed-Wire wrapped around a stiff leather glove. So simple once you understand.
Not only do the Democrats lack a spine, they apparently have no guts, either. It's a wonder they don't just lie around the capitol building in piles, like so much useless refuse.
Oh, wait…
Americans need to devote every single dollar they do and do not have to increased inches
I thought we were done talking about health care.
If we're going to play "Congress Island", can a polar bear please show up and start eating people? I don't even have a preference for party at this point, though Boehner and King are probaly deliciously corn-fed.
These guys are just the biggest wimps ever. Not an ounce of stand up and fight in any of them. I am thinking larger boxes of red wine are going to be needed to get throught this lame schmuck session.
At times like this I like a shot of vodka in my glass of box wine. You think I'm kidding.
The Demos just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper for them and us. You expect it of the Rethugs due to their corporate overlords and quantum stupidity, but is there no bottom? Not only no light, there is no tunnel.
Next Up: A flat tax. …strike that — a "fair" tax. Assume the position, 99%ers.
Nah. National Sales Tax.
We've already got a flat tax: you work at 7/11 for minimum wage, you pay 15.25 percent, including Medicare and both sides of FICA, starting on the first dollar you earn. You "earn" dividend or interest income from your trust fund, you pay 15 percent. Seems fair to me.
Oh, and you schlubs in the "middle class," quit whining about your 25 percent tax rate. You get to deduct your 401(k) contributions, until you want to spend 'em. And that back-breaking mortgage on your devalued house? You can deduct the interest on that too! Enjoy your gift from your betters at Gold Man Sacks!
So now the head bitch Mama Grizzly gets to keep an extra $614K in taxes she would of paid on her $14 million in income in 2010 (how the fuck did she earn $14 million – shows you how stupid we are)…and we can run the deficit up even more by giving rich assholes continued tax cuts while extending unemployment bene's for unlucky assholes….now China can really own us. So much for fiscal responsibility (FUCK FUCK FUCK)!
Did you know that if you capture an image of the Republican smoke monster, then do "photo negative" of it in Photoshop, you'll see that it contains the Dharma Logo, along with a message JOHN LOCKE IS JOHN BOEHNER written around it in Sanskrit, and you'll sit around for an entire 4-year term wondering what the fuck is going on and wishing you could just rewatch the inaugrual pilot over and over again.
The only unemployment the GOP cares about is Barack Obama's.
The only way to stop a bully is to fight back.
All this "caving" is really rich people voting for their own best interests ahead of the country's. The Democrats have been recruiting "enlightened" millionaires to run for office for years and this is the payoff. They feel sad about unemployment, sure, but since it affects no one they know, they vote for their own tax cuts and wring their hands on TV about how they were forced to do that. They are never going to reform a system that benefits them personally. Yes, they don't hire illegal maids and carpenters, but will they challenge other millionaires to create jobs and provide healthcare? Not if it's going to cost them a third vacation home, they won't. This is precisely why I don't give the DNC a fucking penny. They spend donated money to elect people who can already afford to buy the seat outright.
Damnit, this is really pissing me off. Why cant we have math logic, say, use the tax cuts for the rich to extend unemployment benefits?
Fuck these fucking fuckers.
the end.
one yearns for the days when the sheep were to be sheared, not flayed.
I think it should be pretty obvious right now that Ronald Reagan is the Man in Black and taken over the body of Mitch McConnell. If only the Democrats had a Jack who could sacrifice himself for the good of the country by plugging up the big huge whole of idiocy and suck unleashed upon us by Zombie Reagan.
