It's going effing down. fRump loss, bigly. AARP taking him out with brilliant ads.

I never thought I'd have warm feelings for aarp, but the tv and radio ads against the scorched-earth anti-healthcare campaign is working.

Ultimately, wouldn't it be hilarious if the AARP has better functionality and morality than this current white house?

AARP should be running the country.

A Brownie Scout troop functions better than this White House.

Of course, the Brownie Scouts have an advantage: They have adult leaders.

The Girl Scout oath:

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.


They don't know what "honor" means.


Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.


Well, THAT won't do at all!

I have warm feelings for them...they have stopped the GOP from enacting 'entitlement reform' for years. I don't understand how people allow the GOP to divide us constantly...not just during the past election.

Over how easily, willingly, this out try allows the Republican party to drag us down rat holes.

But he did do very well with that demographic. And now he's killing Medicare and Medicaid. I'm having a hard time working up sympathy for those who voted for him.

We have people here at work, late 50's, early 60's union guys, that had Hlllary for Prison bumper stickers!!! Huh? Now, they're concerned about health care and medicare being useful for when they retire in 4 to 7 years. Just stupid, selfish, "as long as it doesn't hurt me" thinking, and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

unopened. That doesn't detract from the benefits they provide all seniors through their lobbying.

This is going to continue for 4 more years? NO. We'll take the senate back in 2 and in the meantime, we'll have to keep after them.

They forget that our health isn't something we'll forget about.
