Sign the Bill

Prepare to experience some cognitive dissonance.

It might come as a surprise to you that someone like me, who has been vociferously opposed to Captain Ouchie Foot aka Precedent Shitgibbon aka Colonel Fuckknuckle, aka a hundred other nicknames I've coined over the last tragic 11 years of his ubiquitous and noxious presence, that I support the Big Beautiful Bill.

But I do. 

You might think it has to do with my finances. I certainly stand to gain from some of the new proposals. Including the elimination of federal and state taxes taken on my monthly Social Security checks. Have I not paid Uncle Sam enough money over these lo 50+ years of steady employment? 

From the time I delivered newspapers via Rockland County's legendary Journal News to the time I delivered annoying, nonstop emails via PayPal's How Can We Abuse and Badger Our Customers CRM Program.

I haven't read the bill, but I'm assuming tax cuts for billionaires will also have a little something for me in the way of a reduction of Capital Gains taxes. Plus a bevy of other white guy goodies by a bill and revised tax code written by white guys exclusively for other white guys.

Just not all of them. Like the ones on the lower rung of the American Caste System.

And here's the real reason why I'm all in on The Big Beautiful Bill. It's not so much of who it will help, but who it will hurt. 

There I said it!

I'm looking at you, pardoned January 6th Insurrectionists. And you, Significantly Uninformed Auto Workers. And you, Sad Trad Wives. And you, Dumb Double Widers. All the folks who ignored this bullying conman who purchased his Get Out of Jail Free Card from his store-bought Supreme Court. And then bought into his republic-busting plan that will drag America back to the 19th century.

You voted against your own interests -- a brighter more enlightened future for you and your kids -- in favor of his interests: unfettered power, obscene wealth-hoarding and the incineration of the Rule of Law.

You did this and should this BBB pass, which it eventually will because you've given Trump the mandate to weaponize every democratic institution in the Grand American Experiment, you will suffer. 

Bigly.

And my Schadenfreude will never soar higher.
