Senate Republicans getting fed up with Trump
The Hill
August 20, 2017
President Trump's relationship with Senate Republicans is deteriorating every day.
Senate Republicans are getting fed up with what they see as Trump's lack of discipline and chaotic leadership style.
Several are criticizing him more openly than ever before.
The sharpest critique came from Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) who told constituents in Chattanooga that Trump "has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence, that he needs to demonstrate in order for him to be successful."
GOP strategists say Corker was likely unhappy with Trump's improvised line a week and a half ago about how threats from North Korea "will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."
Trump's comment was one of the latest examples of an unscripted moments undermining his administration's or his party's more carefully crafted strategy.
"I suspect the fire and fury business got Corker's attention because that came out of nowhere," said Rich Galen, a Republican strategist, who called Corker "a truly decent man" who has "just had enough."
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) on Friday criticized Trump for not unequivocally condemning the white supremacists who clashed with liberal protesters in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend.
Meanwhile, senators have rallied behind Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), one of Trump's most outspoken critics, after the president tweeted Thursday morning that he was glad to see that conservative candidate Kelli Ward is running against him in the GOP primary.
Trump called Flake "toxic."

There are many great songs from 1961, including the following:
Runaway - Del Shannon

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles
Bristol Stomp - The Dovells
Travelin' Man - Ricky Nelson
Quarter to Three - Gary U.S. Bonds

Any fans of Trailer Park Boys out there? - Favorite episode and/or character?
My favorite episode is the one where Ricky took a job as a cop at the mall; and then busted Bubbles for stealing shopping carts.
My favorite character is Bubbles, who wears spectacles which magnify his eyes to an unusual extent.
Bubbles lives in a shed with many cats, earns a meager living by fixing broken shopping carts, and gets upset when Ricky & Julian fight.
Julian always has a rum & coke in his hand.
My least favorite character is Randy, the "Shirtless Wonder"
GOP Debates Retroactive Tax Cuts
The Hill
August 11, 2017
Republicans are debating whether parts of their tax-reform package should be retroactive in order to boost the economy by quickly putting more money in people's wallets.
Already under pressure to secure a significant legislative victory prior to next year's midterm elections, some Republicans argue that having tax changes take effect as early as January 2017 could help their cause.
The House Ways and Means and the Senate Finance committees are weighing the issue as they write legislation that can be introduced after the August recess.
Those pushing for retroactive tax changes in recent days include several prominent Republicans.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said last week that retroactive tax cuts are important so that the benefits of the tax changes are realized sooner.
"We need to make it retroactive so that we unleash the cash and the capital that is sitting there that's waiting to be invested," Meadows said.
Publishing executive Steve Forbes, who backed President Trump during the 2016 presidential election, said Tuesday in an op-ed for his magazine that it's crucial for tax cuts to be retroactive.
"Very important, the GOP must make these reductions retroactive to the beginning of 2017," he wrote.
"We want this tax bill to kick up the economy ASAP. And it wouldn't hurt if people got big tax refunds next April."
