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

It's this, but I honestly think the reality of this one is messing with some of them. Once the initial "We beat the libs! Suck it, libs!" stuff is done and worn off, they are realizing they are getting exactly both jack and squat out of this, and that all this is literally the exact opposite of what they voted for and what they've been promised, and that is causing some of them some discomfort.

President Trump won big on tax reform. And Nancy Pelosi became unhinged. Here�s some of what she had to say about the bill:

End of the world� Armagedon�Brazen theft from the middle class�Raises taxes on 86 million middle class�Moral Obscenity�Permanent Plutocracy�Unrepentant Greed�A Vote against Tiny Tim

The fact is, according to Politco and others, eighty percent of filers will get a tax cut averaging $2,000. Yet, for some reason, most people believe they�ll get a tax hike.

But despite his Christmas cash stocking stuffer, Trump�s approval rating remains low. And some Republicans lurk among the resistance.

Maybe BoK, because people can read and understand the bill has more in it than just tax cuts. Like how it eliminates personal exemptions, meaning that for a lot of people it either negates the cuts or flat-out increases what they owe. Not to mention ending the mandate, a loving stupid plan that does nothing to help Americans since it'll cause a sharp spike in premiums when people realize they can just sign up for health insurance whenever.

Oh, and the tax cuts for us end in less than a decade, but are permanent for corporations. Go gently caress yourself, BoK.

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%.

But also we can't raise wages! It would destroy the economy!

Well no, when everything still sucks, it'll somehow still be the Democrats fault because reasons.

"The Republican led house and senate just passed a bill written exclusively by republicans and had it signed by a republican president...loving demonrats must be to blame!"

Border security? Did they pass something while I wasn't paying attention? Is there a report about illegal crossings being down? I can at least see where the others came from but the only border-related thing I've heard of lately was the start of the wall prototyping which, you know, doesn't actually do anything yet.

I can't tell if that comic is saying "both sides are bad" or is sticking up for Trump but if it's the latter then lol after yesterday's vote.

Beyond restricting legal immigration on the basis of something that looks suspiciously like eugenics, haha nope.

What, you thought he was actually going to build a wall? It's like the one thing they can't do unilaterally.

It's a conservative cartoon, so what it's saying is that Trump is good because he's strong and manly while the cowardly and effeminate Obama was pointlessly humiliating the nation in front of weaklings. U! S! A! U! S! A! Raa, raa, number one!

Basically, the mentality of a playground bully is what gives impotent, incompetent hacks like Gorrell a source of pride, so Trump good.

�Twas the night before Christmas, and in the White House
Trump�s words were stirring; Obama felt like a mouse.

A populist president with a broom that swept clean,
Trump accomplished much in 2017.

Yet out past the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Pussy Hatters were yelling along with Black Lives Matter.

The Deep State pushed back�the Swamp became bitter,
They always get triggered when Trump is on Twitter.

Fake News Media compared Trump with Nixon,
�Impeach him!� said Maddow, Mika and Wolf Blitzen.

Rich kneelers were kneeling and sitting on hands,
Stadiums were emptied, they angered their fans.

Rocket Man�s missiles were threatening Seoul,
Kim Jong-Un�s stocking was soon stuffed with coal.

Respect, fame and fortune many women were hoping,
Instead they were molested�the gropers were groping!

Crooked Hillary lied about Trump�s Russian collusion,
The evidence showed it was just an illusion.

The rear end Clowns were angry and showing no poise,
They were loud and obnoxious�empty barrels of noise.

Trump�s eyes twinkled with MAGA delight. He yelled,
�MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!�

�Merry Christmas from Ben and Tina Garrison

Say Ben, pretty much all of these things seem pretty bad. Weird how in a year with a Republican government and Trump as president you couldn't come up with 12 good things that happened. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Also excellent timing on those bitcoins.
