It's pretty funny to see all the usual suspects try to spin Dems opposing the tax bill as some kind of insane act that will prevent the common man from getting more money when it's such an incredibly unpopular bill.

"Ha! You wanted to stop us from doing this thing no one wants! Watch out in 2018!"

It's like the messaging from the GOP to the public somehow got lost in the mail but these dumbfucks didn't get that memo so they think that everyone already got the propaganda about how awesome that $50 extra a month is going to be before accounting for the extra stuff we will have to pay for. At least Bush mailed out a check to make it look more fantastic.

My coworker thinks because the economy will go up uP UP! and Trump will own it and republicans will keep government in 2018.
("You should be excited for this, because if the economy goes down then democrats will win!", the idea that I care more for the country than The Team seems completely foreign to him.)

If you pretend that the opposition has no good arguments, passing the bill looks like a heroic touchdown play instead of a partisan curbstomp, and #TeamTrump's ALL ABOUT THOS WINS BABEY

But that wasn't the real answer, not even close
for suits just want larger accounts to boast
The savings for the rest of us were really quite small
and the other poo poo isn't helpful at all
Removing the mandate? No personal exempt?
It treats the poor with so much contempt!
And of course McKee knows this, the upper-class twit
For the whole cartoon 'twas nothing but poo poo
But he'll back Trump and this bill oh so crass
For McKee loves nothing more
than kissing rich rear end.

I'm not one to touch the poop, but if I were...

Anyone care to translate this from shithead to English? I'm assuming it's just making fun of the 'meToo' movement, because of course it is. But is there a sex scandal in the UPS or something?

It's how come these loving worthless degenerate scum bitches don't objectify me like they do other guys.

Seeing (edits of) all the pro-GOP bill cartoons here just makes me wonder.

Do these people just not know that they'll "keep more of their money" like all of once? Do they honestly think they're going to be a primary beneficiary of the bill? Not to mention how even if they WERE seeing their taxes massively reduced permanently, that just means they'll be paying more out of pocket for all the public services that would inevitably be slashed to nothing.

Or do they just not care as Republicans and rich fucks win and make the GLOBALIST DEMONRAT LIBTARDS mad?

Got it in one.

I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of idiots who believe this is actually going to benefit them (because that's what their propaganda source of choice told them), but it's basically that.

Oh, they understand who's primarily benefiting. But these people truly believe in their heart of hearts that everything will be fine, because now that the rich have even more money, they will create one hundred million new jobs and wages will go up for the middle class by 1000%. Any day now.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany day now.
