Make the Bastards Pay

snip//

I've got skin in this game. I've got nieces and nephews on CHIP programs. And if you wanna really save money in this country, keep the kids healthy so they don't get worse health problems that cost a shit-ton later on. It's really pretty fuckin' simple. Fix this shit, Susan fuckin' Collins, you goddamn tool. Fix it

It's time to make these bastards pay. The ones who voted for this bill and the ones whose money funded the effort to get this bill passed. Make all of them pariahs in their communities. Constantly flood their offices with phone calls and demand town halls and one-on-one meetings. Be ready to march and rally against them. Do not let them get away for one second with pretending like they've done something good for the nation. And we need to figure out how to go after their donations from rich people. Fuck, demand a bill that will overturn Citizens United. Call it the "No George Soros or Union Money in Elections Act" or some such shit that'll fool the yahoos.

And vote, motherfuckers in everything from primary to runoff, in every election from school board to president. Vote like your life depends on it because it actually fucking does.

When Democrats get back into power in 2018, and, at this point, we're down to figuring out if they'll just win the House or the House and Senate, they should vote to reverse all the tax cuts for the wealthy and keep the tax cuts for the middle class (even though those run out in 10 years). Shit, make those tax cuts marginally bigger. Force Trump (or Pence) to veto that.

Don't fucking negotiate on bipartisan solutions. Republicans murdered bipartisanship in 2009. Stop trying to revive that corpse. We look like political naifs when we try to act like we're gonna be the fair ones. Set a progressive agenda and fucking stick to it.

There are no rules anymore. There is only a cycle of payback until someone has to just leave the game. The Republican Party, as it exists today, needs to be ground into the dirt with the heel of raging democracy, with voices, with vigilance, with votes. If we are unable to do that or if we are too far gone to where we can do that, then we are the bastards who will pay.

1. There are turncoats about

Don't fucking negotiate on bipartisan solutions. Republicans murdered bipartisanship in 2009. Stop trying to revive that corpse. We look like political naifs when we try to act like we're gonna be the fair ones. Set a progressive agenda and fucking stick to it.

They sure as shit won't do this. I look with anticipation when Pelosi says again that impeachment is off the table. Because fucking high road or some shit. Mark my words, they will sell out their values. You will know TRUE DEMOCRATS when they goddamned don't do that. I await my alert.

2. If someone alerts you, they can alert me, too.

No compromise, no mercy. Screw any half-assed bipartisanship. My kids got tossed from my medical plan on to CHIP, and I'll skull-fuck anyone on either side of the aisle who thinks less of their health care.

[JDC]

6. I am Alerting everyone that this is absofuckinglutely

Dead on right. Fuck keeping our powder dry or whatever weak sauce is used. We need to accept nothing short of hard stance democratic principles for and representation of the people. Period.

7. +1000000!

3. Yes, this is Cold Civil War. Until it gets hot, fuck the GOP and damn them to hell.

Bitter, dedicated commitment to their destruction. That's what it has to be. That's what they've sewn.

12. +1000000000000000

Fuck those motherfuckers.

4. BLAME ALL REPUBLICANS EVERYWHERE! IT"S THEIR FAULT!

I agree!

In my local town elections this year Democrats won big time! School board, Mayor,you name it,we won! Repubs are very well entrenched here and NEVER expected to lose! Repubs are popular local folks and neighbors here. Nice people,Hell I drink with them,and a lot of people here (Bridgeport,PA) say "I don't care about parties. I vote for my friends". I said (& told the Repub candidates I know)I don't give a flying Fuck! What I do know is that you pulled that lever for Trump in 2016 so as far as I'm concerned you support the SOB! And you wanna come crying to me right before the 2017 elections that you really aren't like Trump at all & you're all about the local community. Sorry! I ain't buying it. I blame ALL repubs!

To paraphrase the Clash, " He who fucks nuns will later join the church". Hold EVERY repuke everywhere responsible every where!
DO NOT GIVE AN INCH!

5. I kept urging the Democrats

…to do endless media grabbing actions even though they are in the minority. That is for sure what the Repugs would do and they seem to eventually prevail. Because they fight like hell and their constituency is always very active and loud.

Things like staging a sit-in on the floor of Congress with their mouths gagged with tape and each one holding up a clear sign that explains a different aspect of how this bill will hurt people. SS. Medicare. Roads. FEMA. Lead. Education.

This is not a time for business as usual, helpless, "we're in the minority" politeness.

We need to show righteous anger and great determination.

There are supposed to be marches if Trump fires Mueller.

WHY AREN'T THERE MARCHES FOR THIS? (Yes, I'm shouting.)

8. Knock them to the ground

and when they're down, put our heels on their necks and rotate. They are predators that must be driven into the depths of despair.

10. Cut off their

money. It's the only thing they understand. Personal austerity. Build for the future instead of consuming in the present.

I have no cable, minimal insurance, and support thrift stores - several of them Christian for the good work they do. I rarely buy anything new, basically a consumer-gleaner. My energy bill is so low it has them guessing. And it's a profitable way of life.

Until you stop their cash flow, they don't think anything is wrong.

9. love it

This needs to be our mission: “Do not let them get away for one second with pretending like they've done something good for the nation”

11. Breathtaking Greed And Cruelty

I hope there is a big correction because we have gone about as low as we can go.

Enough dumb clueless non rich folks voted for this cruel clueless Soulless ignorant Creep to enable him to not win the vote but to win the archaic Electoral College.

This is a dark chapter in our history.
