The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

CNN is now a satire/comedy outlet, right?

Meiselas: Trump claimed that he and the leaders of the Republican Party were speaking with Democrats. Is he being truthful, or is he lying?

Jeffries: Well, as far as I can tell, that’s a stone-cold lie

Apropos of nothing, I love how JD Vance (6 feet 2 inches tall) is obviously taller than the Orange Guy (6 feet 3 inches??? Even counting his hair, he's not as tall as Vance).

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

We are in this mess because Donald Trump is a hateful bigot, narcissist and sadist who can’t stand the fact that most people can’t stand him so he needs to mete out retribution to punish all those who hate him for who and what he is. That…and millions who cheer on his hateful ways. What a world.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

They can’t govern worth a $#!T.
Run them all out of office, out of Washington DC, out of our lives.
Trumpism is not American.

I no longer even click on their op-eds to read all the comments saying "Are you effing kidding me???". Even that is not worth it any more.

Republican Lie:
Dems want to give healthcare to undocumented folks.

Truth:
Donald Trump just bailed out Argentina to the tune of 20 BILLION US TAX DOLLARS only to have them turn around and sell their soybeans to China, thus screwing over American farmers in the process.

This equates "conservative" or "too far to the right" with what they actually are, which is "completely untethered from the rule of law"...which probably misses the point.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.
