I miss my country and want it back from the evil ones that know what theyre doing and the gullible ones that simply have no clue. I used to feel like the old manfred mann chorus,"stranded in iowa," now i just want to save iowa.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.
The question now is whether American journalists are smarter than frogs.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

I can't deny this. They've been woefully lacking in offering up a replacement healthcare plan. They don't even have a concept of a plan. Wait...does offering us money while taking away our healthcare count as a plan? FFS, sometimes I just can't. 🤣

Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

The fuck is wrong with this person? One third of the country is not illegal immigrants. (Wanting to remove immigrants is still bad)
It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population.
This clown is the GOP chair in Tarrant County, Texas, the third largest county in the state.

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.
