Imagine voting for a liar and then being angry that he lied to you...

2. We Told You So, But You Wouldn't Listen

Somewhere in the juvenile section of the Great American songbook, there’s got a song with those lyrics in the chorus.

I fear that the only cure for the thoughtless lizard-brain reactions that caused so many voters to vote for Orange Julius is pain.

When they accepted their party's use of cruelty as a tactic of government, guess they didn't expect to be victims themselves. Just wish the remaining Republicans had expressed half this passion when they learned they were kidnapping and trafficking small children and committing other crimes against humanity.

I noticed Republican leaders are calling Warren's tax plan a "tax-the-wealthy" plan. Well, yes! Apparently they think this shocking evidence democratic depravity will stiffen up their support.

Every last one of them will watch Fox Noise, be talked into being terrified of the libbrul (that's Republicanese for "Democrat" ), and vote for Trump, or Putin, or Mephistopheles, or whatever name their scourge will be sporting this time.

I doubt I am suggesting anything new, there, either.

He duped them, alright, but not in the way they think. That being said, it says a lot about his cult followers that they only turn on him after believing he screwed them in the pocketbook, while ignoring everything else. Whatever it takes, I guess.

Not really.

Oh, and just more confirmation on their voting choices: along with hating black and brown and gay people, it really is about money: "Mah truck, mah Gun, mah MONEY!!!"

17. Trump is one case where I thought whataboutisms was appropriate.

People would call Hillary Clinton a liar and my response to them was what about Donald Trump? “You wouldn’t support Hillary because she’s a liar but you’re going to vote for Trump, who has a lie picked out for every day of the week.”

I could never vote for someone that insults my intelligence everyday. His lies imply that we’re the stupid ones.

19. I think Hubs and I might owe $9K

We lost about $12K in personal exemptions and $30K in deductions. Plus our effective tax rate went up by 4%. We are screwn as the morans say. It just means we won't spend that money on something for the house or maybe rent a cottage on the beach somewhere this summer. Enough people stop spending money like that and a recession can't be far behind.
