The tax bill wasn't a scam. It was armed robbery.

The gun used was the constitution which is backed up by law enforcement and the military.

A scam is when the mark doesn't know he's being conned. But most of us knew fully well we were victims of the biggest robbery in history. Who needs to break into Fort Knox when you can just pass a law to enrich your donors and yourself?

This cannot stand. The instant there is a Democratic president and congress, it should be reversed, as well as all the presidential orders issued by Trump. It will take a while, but our government must be repaired.

And this is not just a case of our tribe vs their tribe. There seems to be something genetically wrong with elected Republicans. They lack empathy and plain human decency. We must ensure that people of their ilk never again come to power.

Nothing ends a power trip quicker than overreaching and failing to comprehend the long term ramifications of one's actions. A day of reckoning is coming - and it has nothing to do with the heavens or karmic justice.

For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. They have clearly not taken the collective and long term reaction of Americans into account. But it's coming.
