Christmas Comes Early to Trumpland

Now that Congress is halfway to achieving the Republican Party's dreams - making the U.S. one of the most entrenched plutocracies in the world - all of the Trumpistas must be waiting with bated breath. I mean, what goes better with white supremacy but a Gini coefficient that would make our friends in pre-liberation South Africa blush? And to think that so many of the very people who will suffer the most as a result of this abomination of fiscal recklessness are the very ones who voted Sir Grabsalot into the White House. Karmic justice or just another day in the Oval Office for the Greatest Con Show on Earth?

Well, maybe, just maybe we'll luck out and some of these wobbly so-called moderate Republicans will find it in their hearts to find an ounce of morality and refuse to join the rest of horde of hard charging Koch (Brother) suckers and vote against the bill. If I were a betting man...well, what happens in Vegas, eventually gets exposed. So, all that being said, let's just hold thumbs, as our chums in South Africa would say, and hope for the best while expecting the worst.

Remember, these Republicans are the same bunch who are keeping quiet as church mice (sewer rats?) while Trump engages in some ill-advised Schadenfreude over recent revelations of Al Franken's frat-boy behavior from 11 years ago.

But I digress. Here's the toon...
