Dems holding emergency tax bill ‘teach-ins’ to explain Armageddon delay

Are you among those who are confused about why the GOP tax bill has been signed into law and yet life as we know it has not been wiped out as we were promised? House Democrats, at the behest of Nancy Pelosi, will spend part of the weekend explaining the anomaly to constituents while at the very least letting them know how the GOP screwed them over by allowing them to keep more of their own money:

Congressional Democrats will hold a series of “teach-ins” to celebrate the Martin Luther King holiday, hoping to rally Americans against the GOP’s tax bill as they seek to regain their legislative footing.

After ending 2017 on defense, watching from the sidelines as the GOP approved a landmark tax code overhaul and repealed a major portion of Obamacare, Democrats are vowing to try to push their agenda in 2018.
[…]
As for the Jan. 13 teach-ins, she said the goal will be to use the civil rights icon’s holiday to rally opposition to the tax overhaul, which she and fellow Democrats have labeled the “GOP tax scam.”

Roll tape on the Loony-Tron™:

In other words, Pelosi’s sending Dems out to put a fresh spin on their failed previous spin. No wonder she’s dizzy.

The left has embarked on the Orwellian task of persuading the public that a tax cut is really a tax increase. Then, when they raise taxes, they can sell it as a tax cut.

I imagine it will be something like this:

This is a "trickle down" tax bill. "Trickle down" is what pee does in a urinal. You are all urinal cakes. Ds know you are all urinal cakes and want to make you the best urinal cakes in the world. Rs just want the rich to keep peeing on you.
Our plan:

Their tax reform:


Fortunately we have 10 months to see if Pelosi and D's rhetoric for the last 20+ years is right before the election. That may not be enough time for the full effect, but I bet there are a lot fewer D-voting-urinal-cakes in a short time now that we have a chance to test liberal tax theory. If liberals are so sure of their theory, they should be as happy as I am that we get a real-world test. If they are right, they will take back congress.

Getting to keep more of the money that would have been taxed is “screwing you over”?? Better let someone smarter than Nancy try to explain that one. I’m not sure that it can be explained.

Dems: “Your paycheck might look bigger, but its really just a devious trick being played on you by that evil Trump and his racist followers. If you don’t vote for us in 2018 then YOU will be known as a sexist, racist war-mongering greedy pig!”

“teach-ins”

Nothing more than the Dems getting on the same page while telling a new lie.

democRAT'S "teach-ins"?

Lib-speak for "re-education camps".

Conservatives call them "the meetings where they pass out the daily talking points so everybody is on the same page."

They talk in unison. Some would say "lock step".

Everybody's got to do the MLK holiday workshops to twist themselves into pretzels so they can explain "you get to keep more of your own paycheck" as something disgusting and evil.

What did Botox Pelosi mutter? "A $1,000 is just crumbs"?

These people look more like even bigger fools as the 2018 contest approaches.

I can get that kind of recognition just by voting Republican? Wow, I can’t wait to pull the GOP lever again.
