RE: The Medicare cuts forced by the new Republican tax bill:
There are people who vote for the “Leopards Eating Faces” party then are surprised that the leopards actually ate their faces. But they’re outnumbered by far by the delusional morons who claim that no, the leopards did *not* eat their faces (as the blood from the raw meat of their ripped-off faces drip onto the carpet). Or who claim that no, it wasn’t the “Leopards Eating Faces” party that ripped off their faces, it was that woman, over there, who isn’t an elected official and holds no government position of any sort, who actually ripped off their faces. NOT the members of the “Leopards Eating Faces” party.
This has been the most bizarre time in my entire adult life. WTF, people? If you elect a party into office that promises to cut Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, why would you be surprised and upset when they actually do so?! Elect the “Leopards Eating Faces” party into power, and that’s what they do — they rip off people’s faces!

I’d snark and opine “Ha-ha, they feckin’ deserved it!” But sadly, a lot of people who DIDN’T vote tor the LEFP get faceaten too. If only there was some way to restrict the consequences to the pimples who caused them…

May be too soon to judge correctly, but I’d say the end of the Fairness Doctrine was the beginning of the end of the democracy.
Perhaps some future country based on the American Experiment can build itself around the prohibition of unbalanced political broadcasting, and the imposition of serious penalties for lying for political gain.

But the head leopard promised numerous times that he would never ever cut social security, medicare and medicaid. So obviously we have nothing to worry about because the head leopard is known for his truthfulness and integrity. Right? Right?
