So much for draining the swamp. This tax bill is one of the most disgusting, outrageous, openly despicable things i've ever seen the government too. Merry Christmas to everyone on K-Street! You did it! Congrats Donald! You drained the swamp Daniel Plainsview-style, alright. Passing a reverse Robin Hood bill that no one wants, that is actively harmful to our economic future--which even the rich have admitted--a bill the majority of their base will not benefit from and would or do not support, because they do not care and they know there will be no political repercussions. Hard to care about Russia when the most disgusting robbery of the the nation to give to the rich just happened in the middle of the night. All the news networks and all the liberals talk about is Russia and Flynn while the republicans spend trillions of dollars on Christmas gifts to lobbyists and the super rich that will do nothing for everyone else. **** they even just raised a lot of peoples taxes. Middle income people! College students taxes! poor people! Chinese loans straight into some trust fund brat's bank account. None of this is of course paid for and will increase the deficit. If it doesn't hurt the economy tomorrow, it will years down the line (the republicans probably banking on this knowing that it will come back to bite us after us simpletons forget--and they will just blame it on food stamps or public school lunch programs). They literally let CHIP expire a month ago... Every person who votes republican says they do it out of principal. They the party of "common sense, fiscal responsibility, deficit reduction." lol. After tonight you'd expect the republican party would never be able to claim that they care about deficits or that they are trying to drain the swamp or that they believe there's "no such thing as a free lunch." They just bought a bunch of millionaires lunch, and footed your kids with the bill. Oh, and they horded the rest of the food for the billionaire's great great great grandson. Free lunch is only for private school kids, I guess. The worst is knowing they will never be held accountable and they know it too. Could use the tea party about now.
John Mccain is such a phony. Gives the guy who mocked his service his only victory so that his kids could pay a slightly lower estate tax. The democratic party is so incompetent. And all their base cares about is their version of the red scare. The republican base (the non rich middle class white people make up most of it) only pay attention to the politics of cultural resentment--as long as they get to call college kids snow flakes pr whine about NFL players kneeling they don't seem to realize that the party and their media is only a wealth grab. It doesn't matter. At least, not yet. Eventually the effects will be felt. It's been a very long time since the majority of americans had any sort of a raise. So many people are becoming disenfranchised and disillusioned with our economy and our institutions. They aren't working for most people. That's what swept Donald into the white house--he of course pretended that he cared about this, that he would "drain the swamp" and do something about this. Of course, as was obvious, he has only sought to make it worse.
I never thought I'd feel like this but man on days like this, it's so infuriating watching what these people get away with. It really is the fact that they know the public s is so defeated, disoriented, that we're so broken, they will never be held accountable. I hope I live long enough to see them put in a ****ing guillotine.
