Liberal predictions of “Armageddon” and the “end of the world” following the passage of the GOP’s tax cut legislation may have been premature, with several giant corporations announcing bumped-up bonuses for workers after the bill was signed into law by President Trump.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s predictions of chaos and “death” were nowhere to be seen this holiday season, as large businesses such as AT&T, Wells Fargo, Boeing, and others vowed to kick-back their tax-cut windfall to American workers.
On Tuesday, aviation giants Southwest Airlines and American Airlines announced their plans to dish-out $1,000 bonuses to all full-time and part-time employees based in the United States, as well as their plans to donate upwards of $5 million to charity.

“We will be able to invest even more in aircraft and facilities, and we will be able to do so with even greater confidence about the future,” said American Airlines CEO Douglas Parker.
Users on social media were quick to point out the liberal fail this week, sarcastically saying, “But I was told tax reform would make thousands die!”

Clinton Has PUBLIC MELTDOWN over GOP Tax Cuts
Doomed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to step out of the media spotlight, desperately posting a bizarre anti-GOP rant on social media for no apparent reason; writing that “there’s a lot to be frustrated by right now” and calling the GOP tax cuts a “giveaway for those who least need it.”
The former Secretary of State unloaded on President Trump and the Republican Party on twitter, calling out the GOP for allowing the Children’s Health Insurance Program to remain “in limbo” while “rushing” a tax cut to the rich.
The Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides health care for 9 million kids & has been reauthorized on a bipartisan basis every year for almost 2 decades, is hanging in limbo because Congress let it expire over 2 months ago.

It gets worse. During the campaign I warned that the Rs would come after social security, Medicare, & Medicaid & now they are. Imagine buying a Rolex & paying for it with money you saved to take care of your kids. That’s what Congress is doing w/ your tax dollars.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) December 7, 2017
So in these surreal times, let’s rally together & take action. Call your House and Senate members at 202-224-3121 and tell them to take care of kids now and protect our seniors, the poor & vulnerable from future attacks. Tell them that it’s the very least they can do.

“I’m going to keep tweeting about this, and speaking out every chance I get, until it is fixed,” she concluded.
It’s unclear what prompted Hillary’s angry tirade; with the tax cut legislation being passed roughly one week ago and the CHIP bill working its way through congress for months.
Clinton’s comments came under fire from not only conservatives, but also liberals who simply urged the two-time failed candidate to “just go away.”
SCHUMER MELTDOWN: Chuck GOES NUCLEAR on Senate Floor as GOP Passes Tax Cuts
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threw a public temper tantrum from the floor of the US Capitol on Tuesday night, scolding his GOP colleagues who were quietly speaking while the liberal legislator railed against the Republican tax legislation.
The lawmaker was desperately attempting to sway Senators from voting “yes” on the tax proposal, erroneously claiming that “millions” of middle class families would see a “tax hike” under the current bill.
Schumer paused mid-sentence before unloading on GOP Senators, calling for order as his colleagues quietly negotiated in the chamber.
“Nearly 145 million middle class families under $200k will either get tax hikes… Can we have order Mr. President?” raged Schumer.
“This is serious stuff! We believe you’re messing up America. You could pay attention for a couple of minutes,” he scolded his GOP colleagues.
