"Pre existing" conditions.

I don't get why a human being would vote to make ill people not be able to afford health care, I really don't.

Republicans are trying to move the "Overton Window" to the right with this bill. Pushing legislation so far to the right, that the "center" is pushed to the right with it. Unfortunately too often it works.

Too many margaritas to look for it but read it today that "rape" is considered a pre-existing condition. The erosion of women's rights continues

corruption? nah.

but...her emails.

and then there's this...taken the moment it was announced the house passed the health care bill. rich white people are happy.

trump's whole agenda is this:

1. make money
2. make more money
3. undo everything obama did

to me, voting for him is an unforgiveable offense. purely irrational emotional decision. the only thing slowing his 3rd world mentality down is the constitution. and shame on the republican party for going along for the ride.

Saw the Kushner stuff...beyond belief, and brazen as f'n hell.

And then you hear about Eric Trump:

And I won't even get into Ivanka Trump hawking her book and working on her brand.


But hey...her emails...

Wow, that really is unfortunate to see. But not surprising. I hear people make these off hand comments too often. This incident happened in a place that voted overwhelmingly for Hillary though, so I think this is just an isolated incident involving one crazy lady. https://patch.com/virginia/reston/2016-election-results-heres-how-reston-voted

This is just getting worse! Without a doubt Trump is the worst President in Modern history! He's an embarrassment for this country! This was so predictable and inexcusable that Trump's Voters IGNORED all the signs that this man was not worthy of the Presidency!!!

read cnn yesterday for some insightful (connecting the dots type of thing) opinions on trump. seems to make a lot of sense.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

White House did not mention him being in the room, as far as I know...The guy in question, of course, was Flynn's contact...which makes this event even more bizarre.

I think your outage is misplaced. Trump voters are getting exactly what the voted for ( Not in any particular order)

Demise of the EPA
Massive deregulation for banks and corporations
Draining the seamp (firing everybody who disagrees with their POV)
Potential wars - Focus on military industrial complex
Heavy dependency on oil, Fracking, complete disregard for the environment
Protectionism
Trade wars
White supremacy
Gun rights
Disregard for rules and laws that don't fit their agenda

This is going to be a long 4 years, grit your teeth and fight the system. Every little bit counts.
