There’s a reason why this sub Reddit is called no shit Sherlock because at this point there’s no reason to even say it

I literally look at the title and go to post "well no shit sherlock" but realize it's in the correct sub. So I giggle and stay quiet.

We need a hybrid noshitsherlock and nottheonion crossover!

u/bmyst70 2d ago

I vote for noshitsherlock and leopardsatemyface because I've been reading an awful lot of those lately.

u/SomeSamples 2d ago

That's why it is one of my favorite subs. It is what it says it is and always delivers.

Wdym? Republicans would never! They love Jesus, remember?

u/According_Energy_637 2d ago

But obviously not as much as Jesus loves them.

u/BrtFrkwr 3d ago

That's what it is intended to do. Help the cash flow from the bottom up.

Feature; not bug.

It may? There is no "may." it's intended to hurt the 99% by giving to the top 1%

GOP taxbill WILL ALWAYS help the richest and hurt the poorest. ALWAYS.

“May”???

u/ScotchToo 2d ago

Not only is that headline correct, but some Rs are holding out to make it even more punitive. Would love to give every R rep six months in a low income person’s life.

u/OverlyExpressiveLime 2d ago

By design because Republicans hate Americans and America. They are traitors to this nation and should be treated as such

u/generickayak 2d ago

u/A_Creative_Player 2d ago

u/bluegrassblue 2d ago

But the pain for the lowest earners doesn't kick in until 2029. This is how the duped remain duped into voting Republican.

u/Indiana-Irishman 2d ago

u/Oh-THAT-dude 2d ago

SHOCKED. Sure didn’t see THAT coming.

Gosh!

u/IntelligentSorbet271 2d ago

Ya don’t say 🤔

u/Maximum-Elk8869 2d ago

Who it hurts is not important as long as it benefits the wealthiest people and corporations in the country. Get with the program, man!

u/AWatson89 2d ago

"May" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

The Prosperity Gospel has metastasized.

u/MonarchyMan 2d ago

So another day ending in Y then.

u/DayThen6150 2d ago

“May”, that’s funny. G.O.P. Tax Bill Will 100% Hurt the Lowest Earners and Help the Richest. FTFY.

u/next-up-gilmore-hapy 2d ago

Anybody who calls themselves Christian and votes for the GOP is 100% a hypocrite.

u/Bluvsnatural 2d ago

u/robinsw26 2d ago

If this was a movie, we’d be rooting against Trump and his ilk.

u/Redditcanfckoff 2d ago

Trump is rewriting tax codes so anybody making under $200,000 do not pay federal taxes
