They all collected together as the votes were counted and I swear they all looked a little ashamed. And when Mother's husband, Mike, declared the bill had passed the applause was about as thrilling as collective golf clap.
May they all get mired in their sand trap inextricably forever.

Only and idiot would believe it will help their family, or our nation.
Unless of course you own a whole lot of stocks.

Golly I sure hope the witches don't snatch Mike bald-headed for being out after midnight.

(54,436 posts)All of them won't, of course. But the vast majority of people who vote Republican are no more millionaires than the vast majority of people who vote for Democrats..just a LOT more ignorant. So, this time the consequences will, I hope finally come home to rest on the doorstep of people who blindly vote Republican, no matter what. Higher taxes and less (or no) health care for all of them, I say. If this law goes into effect, I get my wish, too. Unfortunately, it will hit the rest of the population as hard as it hits us.
Maybe Putin will be happy now--the quality of life of the average American may not descend to the level of the average Russian, but we just took a step toward getting there.
