Ive been feeling this way ever since the House Republicans murdered Obamacare.
Will the Senate save it? If nothing else, the Dems can filibuster it forever, unless Mitch McConnell decides to do away with the filibuster altogether. Not likely, but possible.
So now we have all the ammo we need to take back the House in 2018, right? But Im not holding my breath for that to happen. Anyone insane enough to vote for Trump is crazy enough to vote for their congressperson again. You know, that person who just screwed them beyond belief. (And, oh yeah. They exempted their own healthcare from that piece of crap legislation.)
That picture of all of them standing around smiling after the vote, reminded me of those old photos of people who used to show up for the public hanging of one or two guys who committed the crime of being black. All that was missing was that sepia tinge we see in those old photos.
Why are Republicans such dicks? Their existence is an abomination. Do ya' think they were what Lewis Carroll described as a Jabberwock?

(15,063 posts)healthcare legislation. But they've exempted their own healthcare coverage from the crime they just committed.
Cancer, dementia, the death of a child, watching a loved one grow worse daily: These are just abstract concepts to the miserable Republicans who voted for this abomination.
Normal, sane, caring human beings don't wish this on anyone. Are Republicans part of the same species as us? And if they are, I ask once again: Why are Republicans such dicks?

(63,221 posts)As for your question, why are republicans such dicks?
I suppose it's just because they can be. These people have no hearts, no morals. They are pure evil.

(15,063 posts)I think Republicans call "evil" their starting line.
And make no mistake about it. If this is what they're capable of, we're in for a marathon of horror, unprecedented in American history aside from the Civil War. Or, as its called in the South, "The War of Northern Aggression."
Perhaps we should call this "The Era Of Jeff Sessions', (et. al.) Revenge."
