Apparently it only takes a few extremists to persuade a significant percentage of the electorate that liberty and justice FOR ALL, no longer applies and that financial inequity is a good thing.
As much as the sane among us don’t want to admit it, the reality is this; the Republicans control both parts of Congress (and they have a moronic Russian ‘puppet’ in the White House, so he doesn’t count.) They have many agendas which run the gamut from wanting to produce a balanced budget to destroying all vestiges of federal government! They ALL, however, prostrate themselves before their lords and masters, the donor class! And this has been true ever since the idiots in the Supreme Court decided the “Citizens United” case in favor of the monied interests – where, once, a congressperson had to have an elaborate solicitation network to pull the needed campaign money in to finance the ‘never-ending’ campaign that is now waged, they now needed two or three “sugar daddies” shoveling cash into their coffers to keep their jobs afloat! It is now ABSOLUTELY essential that they keep the donors happy all the time to keep the money flowing, while they only have to please the constituency every two or six years – and usually they can keep the voters ‘in line’ by shaking a liberal ‘scarecrow’ or two at them at the proper time. Voters can be scared into proper voting – donors MUST be appeased!
And that, people, is what happened in the House and Senate on the “Tax Cut” Bill – it had NOTHING to do with polls or “what the voters wanted” or what the Congressperson had previously “stood for” and it had EVERYTHING to do with what would keep the money flowing into the Congressperson’s pocket! It may be hard to accept but it’s really very simple logic.
Everything, EVERYTHING, that they accused the democrats of doing to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010, the republicans have done in greater detail and greater excess than the democrats could have ever conceived! As my grandmother used to say, democrats “couldn’t hold a candle” to the republicans where it comes to treachery and deceit! The public just didn’t realize what was at stake, or why!
If we can’t change how the Republicans are dealing in Congress, if we can’t change how they’re selling us down the river to their Rich donors, if we can’t change how they’re destroying our American government from the inside out, we will be easy pickings to become a Russian satellite and protectorate. I think the Russians would probably strip the Republicans of all power and the elite 1% of all their Rich Holdings. We are now a failed government third world powerless and lacking all honor on the world stage. America First has become America isolated. You don’t stand up to bullies if you’re standing alone.
This toon is not funny, Trump did actually beat up a disabled child and took his health care. Then you should see what he paid Russian hookers to do to him. the sad sick Republicans want him to do this. very Sad (or sick) losers!

The Republican tax plan for the one per cent is naked class warfare.
We all get to give our tax dollars to the rich so they can donate some to Republicans.
