I am still in shock

Ambulances had gone in and out of here at all hours. From mid July to the end of October I watched helplessly as my soulmate died, without a kind word from any of these neighbors and I am supposed to be good to them? Those heartless bastards? Not bloody likely.

Didn't know about your loss, sorry man.

God willing of course.

I might have qualified under the ACA but stuck with my private insurer - probably a good thing.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for them.

If not, well then maybe it's time for the second amendment solution.

You've kind of thrown out the baby with the bathwater haven't you?

This country just erased 50 years of progressive growth. Growth in equal rights, women's rights, human rights. I know damned good and well you supported that growth.

Everybody thought Arnold was so great before he was elected. One of the very first things he did was to take a big chunk of change out of education and out of aid to homebound disabled to fund the first batch of tax cuts to insurance companies. I wouldn't expect much different here, now, from trump and company.
Lying Ryan's probably licking his chops in pulling more of the rug out from under the working calss.

All you'll experience is the pain. You'll be dead by the tile this gets fixed, meanwhile, you can kiss your Social Security check goodbye, and your Medicare too, And you can forget single payer too.

Expect to see the wholesale privatization of our infrastructiure and the commons. Get ready to have the TVA privatized, Yellowstone brought to you by Georgia Pacific. And expect to see the Mobile Bay shore front and all those nice trails and beaches you probably hike or bike on sold off to developers.

Maybe I'm wrong Potter.

But I think things are going to have to get worse before they can get better.

Don't sugar coat it Boreas.

Surely to God the left wing puppet masters haven't pounded that in to your head until you actually believe it.

God willing of course.

You are terribly naive. Since when did the Republicans give a flying fuck about the suffering of the poor or infirm. God made them that way for a reason.

You know what's amazing? Arnold was doing this and more and dumbasses re elected him.
Outsource the bay bridge to the Chinese who built it as so the saltwater can get into the steel support. Man, are they trying to cover this up still, but the new bridge needs to be blown up more than the old one. All those trips to Asia, especially Japan every other month.
And then there is always the maid who is pregnant with your child waiting on your wife who is also pregnant with your child.

Fun times.
