I love it when they say their quiet part out loud.

More important is what they show than what they tell, they lie a lot and rely on propaganda; and also more important is what's clear from things like their dark money donors and political affiliation (e.g. see my thread today on Saudi Arabia pushing for Republicans to support their blockade of Yemen that has killed 370,000).
 
Well, to be fair, look how Bernie Sanders talks about universal healthcare and fighting climate change, but actually took dark money from the healthcare industry and fossil fuel companies and voted against both policies.

Oh, wait, no he didn't. I just say it as a hypothetical to illustrate how different the sides are, why the very idea of Bernie acting like them is shocking.

I'm a little surprised about Crenshaw.

Unlike most of the rest of those losers, he did some time in the military.

Also, you can judge the usefulness of a bill based on Paul Gosar. If he votes against it, that means he saw something that might help someone.
 
Disgraceful. If these people hate americans and america so much, move to russia and get a real feel for a government that doesn't care about you.

Why not abolish Matt Gaetz? They don't plan to abolish the VA Heath Care they want to privatize the system and keep the tax dollar support = profits that never disappear. SCAM ALERT

GOP wants to cancel;
  • Veterans Administration
  • Social Security
  • Medicaid/Medicare
Why are these punks getting any votes at all?
