I'll be surprised if Heller changes his vote to yes. He is in a very vulnerable spot and facing an election in 2018.

Does Trump think Amazon doesn't collect sales taxes or is he advocating for an additional Internet tax? Perhaps a FAKE NEWS tax?

obv. nobody really knows, but one school of thought is that the bill needs to move to the right to capture the Rand / Lee / Cruz votes. They throw opiate $$$ at WV and they are basically there. They'll lose Collins and Heller but that's ok.

the other school of thought is the conservative votes will eventually vote Yes bc its the best they're going to do, and killing 22m people is better than killing none.

He got so much wrong inside 140 characters there it's hard to decide where to start

-Amazon pays income taxes
-Amazon (now) collects and remits sales taxes in all states that have sales taxes, whether or not it has a physical presence there
-Amazon and WaPo are completely different entities
-"Internet tax" is a Thing Which Does Not Exist (for Amazon or anyone else)

He's butthurt because they outed his own fake news (that hilarious fake Time Mag cover), that's it.

Heller is only voting yes on this if he decides he doesn't want to be a Senator in 2019. That's certainly possible if he gets promised some kind of payoff. I wouldn't think a threat to primary him would be effective. He's also just one guy and the GOP can afford to lose two votes so it may end up meaning nothing when he votes no and it passes anyways.

I occasionally buy something on Amazon where sales tax isn't collected. I'm not sure how much sales tax is going uncollected overall when people buy and get their purchases shipped from a third party seller but it's a sore issue for the states missing out and the brick and mortar businesses struggling to compete against it.

he might be talking about the 1.5b potential tax liability amazon may have had if it lost the IRS case re: transfer pricing earlier this year. im surprised he didn't have internet taxes in airquotes so could later say YA THATS WHAT I MEANT. obviously would never be categorized as "internet taxes" but out president is a teetotaling wetbrain. also phenomenal that he is saying an entity should pay taxes. incredible.

Not politics per se but Australia's Cardinal George Pell, the third highest man in the Catholic Church, has been charged with historical sex offences from multiple complainants. In the past when he said he found out about priests under him abusing children he stated it was 'a sad story and it wasn’t of much interest to me'. He has also said abortion is a worse moral scandal than priests abusing children.

Hope he rots

Scarborough claims to have texts and phone records indicating Trump was lying in that tweet. He's becoming completely unhinged. Should be interesting to see how far this feud goes.

Think about how much smarter Joe Scarborough is than Trump.

Then think about how much smarter Mueller is than Joe.

Rob, bro, I get that you're thorough, but hurry it up. Dudes got to go, ASAP.
