Surprise, it's not a drawing of Michael Flynn! That case is certainly heating up, but let's redirect our attention for a minute to the hideous tax plan that senate republicans just passed (and that now only needs to be reconciled with the just-as-shitty House version to become the law of the land). Much has been written about how flatly terrible this bill is, and what it really is, but it does bear repeating: this bill essentially takes money away from the poor and middle class and transfers said wealth to the already deep pockets of giant corporations and the very, very rich. It is a gigantic "fuck you!" to all of those poor (and middle class) saps who voted Trump into office. The sad thing is, republicans have been doing this shit for almost 100 years now, and every time they get their way they fuck up the economy. The GOP may be drunk with power now, but they're in for one hell of a hangover come the 2018 midterms.
