Frankly the estimates are so close, respectively, nobody can say with confidence which ones will/would be more accurate. Yeah, I was going with Treasury and JCT. Latest I am hearing is that the best case scenario is a vote late Monday into the early hours of Tuesday. Byrd Bath taking a while. Sinema has indicated that she will work with the bill if she gets her couple of asks. Pelosi will jam through by Friday. Some leaks now on Sinema demands: (I) removal of carried interest provision, (ii) wants a delayed effective date on corporate AMT (which she will get, but that means it will never happen), (iii) hold harmless cost recovery in corporate AMT (already drafted), but that will be a big revenue dip; substitute will be the stock buyback excise tax to make up any revenue gap.

We'll see if Sinema gets what she wants on the corporate AMT. I imagine that's what they're haggling over while waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people we hear from think that the Sinema deal (whatever it is) will be done by tomorrow - she will want to announce before the weekend.

Fez Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Sinema says she has a deal on reconciliation and Schumer's said the first votes will start Saturday afternoon. Seems like this may actually happen. And, if it does, this is actually going to go down as one of the most productive Congresses in a long time. There's not a signature law like the 111th Congress has with the ACA, but this bill (assuming it passes), the earlier infrastructure bill, the COVID relief bill, the CHIPs/China competition bill, a (limited but still something) gun bill, that bill fixing the postal service's finances, the bill reauthorizing the VAWA (which had expired in 2019), and the lend-lease bill for Ukraine is a pretty strong slate actually. And there's still that election reform bill that might pass too, which won't protect against nearly all 2024 threats but does address a few of them.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Guess that'S one strategy. Try to make the judge made enough, that she will have to recuse herself. Any chance for the judge to order a psychiatric evaluation of Jones, or is this just something for criminal court? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 4M for Alex Jones. Not that it really matters, with all the bankruptcies, but seems compatively low to me. On the bright side, the next Jan 6 hearing is practically writing itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is those are just the compensatory damages. He's still on the hook for punitive damages which should cost him a lot more, and this is just one of the suits he's facing. I believe there are a few more. He's fucked either way and will be going to prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Oh, my bad. For some reason I thought it was 1.5M punitive and 4M compensatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
