Robbery of Biblical Proportions

If you believe the Donald about the 2017 Republican Plutocrat Giveaway, i.e., the "tax reform" bill, I got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Honestly, you don't need to be a news junkie to take just a minute to figure out this is another three-card Monte Carlo swindle brought to by Don, the King o' Con.

The "mainstream" Republicans (is there really such a thing - I mean, how different are they really from the tiki torch bearing goons who oozed onto the scene not long ago in Charlottesville?) are doing their best to hide the salami as they push through this tax cut, evading and avoiding any semblance of good governance and parliamentary best practice. It's another page out of the same playbook - look right into the cameras, make a soppy serious big boy face and look oh so sincere while they lie, lie and lie through their teeth about their faux concern for the middle class. And then, once everyone is sick and tired of trying to figure out the difference between truth and lie, bull rush through some cockamamie bill chock full of goodies for their Richie Rich benefactors and patrons.

All the while, they'll be a hopin' and a prayin' that the Donald doesn't screw the pooch with his usual act of megalomaniacal self-sabotage, shifting his position for the umpteenth time or just unloading with another bit of denigrating, norm-bustin' filth to satisfy his "people," aka, white folks.

So, look out, Gracie, here comes the Donald and his hard charging herd of mad elephants, out to grab your handbag and pound your pretty little head into the ground for a life filled with poverty and misery.
