My account chimed in about a change:

Businesses that buy cars may see benefits. It has been the case that firm that buy vehicles can deduct the purchase price over a period of years: $2,560 for the 1st taxable year, $4,100 for the 2nd taxable year, $2,450 for the 3rd taxable year and, $1,475 for each succeeding taxable year.

Changes have increased these limits to $10,000 for the 1st taxable year, $16,000 for the 2nd taxable year, $9,600 for the 3rd taxable year and, $5,760 for each succeeding taxable year.

Time to start your own company so that you can have it buy you a nice, expensive car! Take that middle class.

According to the Daily Beast, POTUS has also been chattering behind the scenes about how nice it would be if he could sue some of the reporters who made embarrassing errors in their Russiagate reporting lately, most notably Brian Ross.

It would also be nice if we could sue POTUS, Huck-Sanders or Fox News for the obvious and misleading lies that they tell on a regular basis.

Fantasy world expects a letter... funny, and sad.

Is this based on anything other than his own delusion?

Townhall.com, a super rightwing outlet, pegs the PA governor's race as the most important one in 2018. I agree with the writer, though obviously because I want to prevent everything she wants to impose on our commonwealth. It's still good to read columns like this. You need to know why they want Scott Wagner or Paul Mango in there.

The GOP primary basically has amounted to Mango saying Wagner is 'pro' trans people, Wagner saying 'no way, I hate them AND I REALLY hate unions and government and put me in charge of said government) and Mango saying 'then why don't you vote enough?' Also, Wolf is the worst governor of all time and all the late budgets are his fault even though the GOP fought with itself this past year over two different budgets.

Perhaps his lawyers are trying to keep him from doing some really stupid stuff over the holidays. he is going to want attention then, and he knows that people will have time on their hands, so there is a real chance he does something stupid to get people talking about him, and feed his ego.

Huh, where have I seen that before:

Byron York: Amid firestorms, Trump has year of solid policy accomplishments. Can he keep going?

Something is happening in the final days of 2017. People are noticing that Donald Trump has gotten a lot done in his tumultuous first year in the White House. Assume that tax reform passes and is signed into law. If in, say, 2014, a Republican, of either the conservative or moderate variety, predicted that in 2017 a newly-elected GOP president and Congress would —

Cut corporate and individual taxes.
Repeal the Obamacare individual mandate.
Appoint a highly-respected conservative to the Supreme Court.
Appoint a one-year record number of judges to the circuit courts.
Get rid of reams of unnecessary regulations.
Destroy ISIS.
Approve pipeline projects and new oil drilling.

-- then a lot of Republicans would probably have cheered. Loudly.

I was only half listening, so maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but that sounds like both the context and the order.

they apparently have no mechanism to work out ties on votes, either. the Senate has the Lt Gov break it but the House doesn't.

My post about this got bottom-paged.

Simonds (D) is up by one, and it appears to be over. Not one point, one vote.

ONE. VOTE.
