#GOPTaxBillScam

I had some fun with the trending hashtag #GOPTaxBillScam on Twitter yesterday. Here are my posts, ordered from the most popular to the least popular (all my tweets can be seen here - https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):

1) So what did you accomplish this year?
GOP: "We passed a bill which only 33% of people support, that aids the 1% who don't need help, strips healthcare from those who need it most, and raises the deficit, bigly. If that's not winning, we don't know what is!"

2) GOP: "This Christmas, we ask the middle- and lower-classes to wait under the kitchen table at dinner. Don't worry. Whether or not we give you warm food or sufficient amounts, we'll feed you eventually. We're bound to drop something here or there, right? Merry Christmas!"

3) GOP: "Trickle-down economics helped increase the pay gap to the widest its been since the Great Depression, which led to the Great Recession. So yeah, let's do that again. It's common sense!"

4) The media needs to cut it out with labeling the tax bill as a win for Trump, as a win for 1% is a loss for 99%, and unless you majored in mathematics at Trump University, 99 > 1.

5) Trump: "Signing something that nobody likes is my biggest achievement, folks. You people might not like me now and might not like this bill, but because of this bill you don't like, you'll like me more, because, you know, logic."

6) Trickle-down economics: To attempt to make hand-me-down clothes appealing, promise them around December 25th of every year, and deliver coal instead.

7) GOP: "We may already own more cars than you and really only need one, but we're going to give ourselves a couple more. This isn't about us; it's about you. We'll let you take the things out every now and again, even though we'll always be driving them."

8) GOP meeting: "Let's give the people a few extra bucks next year to try and prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress in the midterms. Then years down the line, when people have forgotten who passed the bill, it'll hurt many families big league."

9) Trump: "Even the dossier says trickle-down works! I'm not admitting nothin'; I'm just sayin' ...and yes, it's true, like big league!"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
