20 December 2017 update: the Republicans in the Senate passed the tax scam bill last night, so if you're going to call Republicans in the Senate, go right ahead and call all the bastards and chew their monstrous asses out. Seriously--WTF are we supposed to do? Do I gamble on my dad staying healthy and out of the hospital until we get Democrats back into power to repeal this piece-of-shit bill, which cuts Medicare in 2018? Do I gamble that Republicans and their owner Putin actually let us have elections? Or do I pull the trigger on the incredibly disruptive and expensive process of expatriating my dad and myself to save his life and my sanity? ...They're playing fucking Christmas music on the radio right now. I'd like to take that radio and ram it down the throats of every Republican bastard who voted for this piece-of-shit bill.

Treason's greedings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!

Can you tell I've been under the gun lately?

Sorry, loves, but I've been spread too thin among work-work, volunteer-work, and taking care of my dad to give this blawg the effort it deserves lately...boo.

On top of that, I am soooo not in a fucking holiday mood this year...

Gee, could it be because the fucking goddamned Republicans keep threatening to kill my dad and steal our money to give to the lazy, entitled, idle, rich bastards who neither need nor deserve it?

GRRRRRRR!!!!!

It dawned on me early this morning that the Republicans are worse than Hitler:

Hitler never committed genocide against his own people for mere money, as the Republicans intend to do.
Hitler never sold out Germany's sovereignty, as the Republicans sold ours out to PEWtin.

The status on the tax scam bill is that the House passed it (!) today, but they fucked up--as usual, Republicans prove that they're incapable of governing--and broke a number of procedural rules with todaze vote to kill tens of millions of innocent, hard-working Americans.

This means that the House will redo the vote tomorrow--Wednesday.

This means that we have one more chance to try to flip Republicans in the House.

I know it's a tall order because Republicans are like carrion vultures--the more heinous, repulsive, and vile a bill is, the more irresistible it is to them.

And this piece-of-shit bill is a LULU.

If you imagine taking all the worst bits of both bills and smashing them together with Satan's own piss and shit from his worst hangover ever, you might almost have an idea of how heinous and deadly the bill is for ordinary Americans and how lavish it is for the corrupt Republicans in Congress--who can't resist enriching themselves while enriching their donors at our expense. Not only will this bill grossly increase the income gap, it's also guaranteed to crash the economy, just like w's tax cuts and repeals of consumer protections did. So get ready to pay more for less in preparation for losing your health insurance, your house, your retirement, and your job. And, if you're a woman, you'd better get you a Handmaid's cloak--Wal-Mart has them for only $11.99 because you'd fucking better save every penny you can wherever you can--because you can kiss your right to determine what happens to your own body goodbye.

...80% of the money goes to the top income bracket--those who need it the least--while the poorest and most vulnerable get hit with higher taxes and reduced benefits.

So, please, friends, call...call, e-mail, and fax the bastards like your life depends on it BECAUSE IT DOES...hound the bastards like I do...hound the bastards like my dad does.

Don't let up--give the bastards hell!!!!!

Atheist God knows they deserve it--they've been giving us hell from the moment they decided to stop working with Democrats when Bill Clinton got into office.

As I keep tweeting to the bastards, my dad paid into Medicare and Social Security his whole career; he earned the benefits he needs now that the Republicans want to steal and give to the rich. My dad's life is worth more than expensive, useless trinkets for the rich. Dear ones, your lives--all of our lives--are worth more, too.

We all deserve better than this.

Contact Congress and give the bastards a piece of your mind!

E-MAIL your own members of Congress and be counted (by law):

Click Democracy.io to get started

FAX your own members of Congress; fax your own governor; fax tRUmp himself (my newest toy, bwahahahaha!!!!!); and use "Letter2editor" to send a letter to your local paper:

Text "Resist" to 50409

and then

CALL THE BASTARDS!!!!!

First, call your own senators, be they Republican or Democrat. Give a brief account of how the bill will affect you and your family.

Next, e-mail everyone on this handy triage list using the e-mail web forms in the "contact" links below--give the bastards a real piece of your mind:

~~John McCain~~--he's in the hospital recovering from side effects of his Cadillac health care plan-provided, taxpayer-funded chemo
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Jeff Flake
Shelley Moore Capito
Bob Corker (use his e-mail link--the phone doesn't work)
Rob Portman
Ron Johnson

If you insist on calling not-your-own senators, just leave a quick "I'm calling because what you do affects us all, so PLEASE VOTE NO on the Republican tax bill" message with your name, city, state, and zip code--again, don't tie up the phone lines for constituents trying to call.
