Merry Christmas to you and your family. May the New Year bring much happiness.

At first, Democrats declared the end of the world due to a global cooling in the 1970s.  This declaration was succeeded by an even more terrible end of the world due to global warming in the 1990s (although this end of the world was briefly interrupted by the fleeting ends of the world due to the year 2000 computer problem and the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012).
Now the end of the world because of global warming has come to an end.  It has been succeeded by the end of the world due to Trump's tax policy.  This end of the world was also interrupted, now traditionally, by the Democrats, who briefly advocated the end of the world due to the cancelation of net neutrality and the end of the world due to the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The Democrats both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives united against tax cuts.  Well, nobody expected anything else from the founding fathers of the Ku Klux Klan and the socialists' party.  Democrats tried to put sticks in the wheels of Trump's locomotive by using the "Byrd rule" (it's the same Democrat, Byrd, who once was one of the leaders of the KKK).  But it was not possible to keep America at a democratic plantation.
Nevertheless, twelve Republican congressmen joined Democrats.  The Republican dozen, except one, are from California, New York, and New Jersey – that is, from traditionally leftist states with the highest state and local taxes in America.  As a result (treacherous, of course) of the Trump plan, state taxes now must be paid not in lieu of, but (oh, the horror!) in addition to federal taxes.  There is nothing strange and personal about the behavior of the Republican dozen.  Just business.  After all, their votes could not change anything, and these congressmen...well, you know, are up for re-election next year.
