My family has been without our entire income for 40 days. It has been overwhelming.

We are ALSO willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are ALSO NOT willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The list of things being sacrificed for shareholder profit is endless.

It’s literally everything that makes life worth living.

And, of course, it’s life itself.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

ICE unlawfully ripped a woman from Rayito Del Sol, a daycare and private business, in front of parents and children. They did not possess a judicial warrant and she was in America legally. Her children are also detained.

We must abolish and prosecute ICE. This cannot go on.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.
