Which "sides" are they on again? Because it seems like the comic in general and both of these two chucklefucks hate Trump. Also I love that one of the things that the coyote brings up is "your 'side' deliberately financially supported an actual pedophile" and Carmen's response to that is "yeah but the stock market is okay"

Pakled posted:Ah yes, the historically unpopular tax bill, surely that will help Republicans So, I've heard that the way the tax bill will hit is that because the standard deduction will increase, lots of people will see reduced with holdings from their paycheck. This will make the tax bill look like it is helping them. However, once they do their taxes, they will find that they either get a smaller refund or owe money. At this point, it will become clear they've been had. Problem? This won't happen until 2019 for the vast majority of people. So during the midterms, it will just be "fake news, whargarble!" This is mostly what I've heard, but i don't know it to be 100% accurate. If true, we're screwed because people have short memories.

Comrade Ben "Gulag" Garrison finishes the brushwork on his latest socialist masterpiece and tribute to his counterculture hero R. Crumb, depicting a bloated Porky stomping upon the common man holding a "DOWN WITH CAPITALISM" sign. Satisfied, he intones, "We're going to keep rocking forever forever forever forever."

I'm sure she would never support Roy Moore, just the ideology that created him and the political party that empowered him and funded his campaign for Senate.

the_steve posted:And isn't a 95 IQ still within the margin for "Average?" I thought you had to dip below 90 to be considered below average. Standard deviation on the IQ chart is 15, so the average range is actually 85-115. That's something of a false statistic, though. The actual average IQ is a little over 100, as due to the undue weight put on the value of IQ testing educators have started training the skills used in IQ tests.

Jackard posted:Like, how is it not? Even if it never says so outright, She says that she thinks the republicans might win the midterms because of the tax bill and the state of the economy. It's Liberal Straw Dog that cites Roy Moore. And you never expressed disbelief at Stantis's sock puppet supporting republican ideology, you expressed disbelief specifically at support of Roy Moore from the sock puppet: Jackard posted:portraying a little black girl as a Roy Moore supporter See?

This will make the tax bill look like it is helping them. I wouldn't worry here too much. Besides that Democrats will hopefully point out the upcoming loving, a major reason they're predicted to make gains during the midterms is California; GOP reps here (and there are quite a few, despite how liberal the state is as a whole) are expected to be utterly wiped out, and the tax bill aggressively fucks over this state, with Congress even trying to pass laws to specifically stop us from doing things to make it less bad for people here. I don't think the tax bill trickery will work here, particularly combined with things like this being a midterm election where both top-ticket races, the governor and the senate seat, will likely be Dem vs Dem and further depress Republican turnout, that some of the GOP people who managed to hold on in places that went Hillary otherwise are retiring, the sheer unpopularity of Trump here, and so on.

Fathis Munk posted:Sounds like a great scam! It would be, except that the median savings from this tax cut is so low that it becomes imperceptible to most people when spread out over 25-50 paychecks. Whereas if you take a SALT or mortgage deduction you will notice that hike right the gently caress away. It’s an amazingly poorly designed bill from an optics standpoint.

Most people don't follow politics closely enough to really understand the process, so the version of the bill they're most familiar with is the original house bill. Even if they do realize that wasn't the bill that was passed, the optics in it haven't been great. But I think it's more than that. I think there has been a shift in perception in America that debt isn't some amorphous thing, it's a choice in what we are supporting financially. Everyone hears that "$1.5 trillion" and look at their slightly bigger check, and they think "I'd rather have Medicare For All/free college education/a VA medical system that works/a stronger military". Everyone has been acting like we are on the brink of ruin, and when we finally spend the money, it's on a tax cut that hippy co-worker Steve keeps insisting will hurt you personally. So either you're disengaged and think the house bill screws you, hyper engaged and know the final bill screws you in ten years, and either way you aren't a big fan of tax cuts right now anyway. Edit: as evidence, I point to polling that places this tax cut as less popular then recent tax hikes.

So besides Lester having recently stated that taxes going up on certain people (the middle class) was no big deal Oprah has no ability to raise taxes. She’s not running for office. She made a speech about women not being silent about sexual harassment anymore is Lester just hearing Debt and Taxes anytime someone talks now?

She made a speech about women not being silent about sexual harassment anymore Just lol if you don't realize that "She made a speech about women not being silent about sexual harassment anymore" is basically a direct declaration of war against the Republican party. And that's not just me being facetious, like straight up, people see this poo poo anymore and some part of their brain goes "hmm that's pretty pro-women, must be some liberal bullshit." Which is pretty drat telling. My mom, a woman of 48, ranted at me yesterday in person about how "all these women are coming forward saying they were sexually assaulted." Her exact wording while completely missing the point were: "Do they think this stuff doesn't happen to all of us? I had to deal with this all the time!" To which I kindly as possible said "Yep so that's the point mom, that women everywhere experience this and it's a problem." Which was shortly followed by "men are always going to be like that" to which I of course responded "I'm not like that though, you made sure I wasn't. And frankly, I don't know a single guy who even jokes about that poo poo." To which I basically just get silent head shaking and topic changes. It's hopeless. Even women who have been sexually assaulted are basically coming to the right conclusion but still somehow completely loving missing the point.
