Oh of course. I think they'll be disappointed, but claim they chose "the lesser of two evils" while continuing to be duped again and again.

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump tried to rewrite the pledge of allegiance so that it ended with "and liberty and justice for Trump 's family and friends".

I don't think he wants justice for his family and friends, because then they'd be in jail for a long time.

Sure is great for the 1 percenter's and corporations.
I just hope the Dems get their shit together and offer a solid candidate(s) for 2020 so at least some of this malarkey can be undone. Till then I'll just die a little every time Trump has a press conference, or anytime the republicans 'give' the middle class a break 🙁.

With more emphasis on the liberty part for sure and justice is in the eye of the beholder these days so with a blind eye it is. I believe that Metallica wrote a song about this new modern justice system.

Seriously. And what about all the calls for infrastructure investment (what was it, $1T over 10 years) - tax cuts will kill that. Morons.

T-Rump wanted to do that with a public-private relationship...not tax payer money IIRC. Of course, takes a lot of toll roads and toll bridges to make up that kind of money.
 
I see we're giving up on the "my constituents want it" part now and just going with the truth...

And again, it seems like most of their working class constituents are A-OK with it. Are they all millionaires posing as working class folks or what?

The are all "potential millionaires(tm)" and they don't want the government taking away a chunk of their potential hard earned millions that they are going to get any day now by winning the lotto or inventing a new version of the pet rock. They are smart enough to know that the government taking more money away from them now will be a lot less in actual dollars than the government taking away more money from them when they are millionaires! It just makes sense to accept more taxes on them now and oppose more taxes on the rich since they are going to win their millions any day now! They will have worked hard on those hard won millions! Also, Jobs. (Jobs should be capitalized right? It is the proper name of a deity? I'm a bit confused on this.)
 
Republican Plan Would Raise Taxes on Millions

Nearly half of all middle-class families would pay more in taxes in 2026 than they would under current rules if the proposed House tax bill became law, and about one-third would pay more in 2018, according to a New York Times analysis, a striking finding for a bill promoted as a middle-class tax cut.

President Trump and congressional Republicans have pitched the plan unveiled last week as a tax cut for most Americans. But millions of middle-class families — particularly those with children — would see an immediate tax increase, averaging about $2,000. Among the hardest-hit under the plan would be some of the most vulnerable taxpayers: those with huge out-of-pocket medical expenses.

By 2026, 45 percent of middle-class families would pay more than what they would under the existing tax system.

Yep, all these "potential millionaires" who worship the actual millionaires as if they'll be invited to join the club. Newsflash... the actual millionaires don't give two shits about you; don't try to please them by harming your own interests.

The Republicans are going to achieve the nearly impossible.... grow the deficit with a booming economy to accelerate the wealth gap. The pain is going to be extraordinary when the bubble bursts.

History is repeating itself from 2001-2008 aka the Bush/Cheney Corporate Hostile Takeover of the White House. Looks like if present trends hold, same economic shit storm is gonna happen but at a very accelerated pace.

The usual blitzkrieg method of corporate takeover of the gov't is being played out again where the combined efforts of Big Business, the GOP leadership and their minions in Congress are going to grab every single frick'in thing they can out of the gov't before the inevitable crash of the economy or their getting voted out of office occurs.........just like the last time, but only more thorough.

The Democrats then take over, shepherd a recovery like Obama did, and then those fvcking idiot Conservative voters who never learned a lesson from the previous meltdown(s) go right back ahead and start the whole freak show over again, each time getting further knocked down the economic ladder of success and each time firmly believing their leaders accusations that it was the Democrats who did it to them......AGAIN.

We are doomed to repeat this over and over again until the Oligarchs fully take over the gov't thanks to those fvcking working class idiots who chose to remain blind to what they were doing to themselves.

Dems are what they are: A loose knit amalgam of well meaning diverse cultures and ideas. But that old saying of bringing Dems together is like herding an army of cats comes with such diversity. It took a very strong and controversy-free personality like Obama to keep the cat's attention focused on the mouse and not the butterflies flitting to and fro over their heads.

The Dems need another Obama. Plain and simple. Well, they're going to need another Obama on steroids considering how the Trump administration is dead set on disassembling the very foundations of the gov't that's supposed to be of, for and by the PEOPLE and in its place permanently establishing the aristocrat class like himself as THE government we live under.

Like how these aristocrats rule the corporate fiefdoms that they have carved out for themselves, they want to rule the nation in the same manner: Absolute rule ruling absolutely, because they know what's best for themselves and they need a subservient working class to keep things that way.

The working class Repubs have sold their souls to them so its solely up to the Dems and independents to prevent the complete takeover from happening.
