Those least able to withstand this policy will be in the forefront of its scythe like assault on their families and friends.
How is it that a policy designed to kill its intended beneficiaries is cheered, high fived and applauded?
It gives a new contemporary meaning to the phrase "something wicked this way comes".
Republicans seem to see 'Others' in our society (defined as anyone not Caucasian [for those of you who wear Confederate flags for headbands, license plates and diapers that means White]) as untouchable, expendable and disposable.
I'm beginning to think that anyone who self defines as a republican has a pre-existing condition that precludes them from claiming America as a place they are entitled to be.
Ahh, so it goes in the richest nation on earth We can't find it in our souls to help those whom capitalism has marginalized. The stigma of not being either Cash Elite or Whitely Privileged is a death sentence justly deserved due to our legislators belief that Others are Takers and Eaters.

But not that awful.
Let's keep a little bit of perspective, please.

(7,432 posts)that Trumpy just spent most of his political capital getting this monster of a bill passed in the House. Ryan and the band of miscreants aren't going to go out on a limb like this again. Not for Trumpy. They plastered egg on their own faces all last week, and they smiled through the goo and said it was indeed a sunny day. They all know that they were lying and they know that they'll take it in the gut at home, and it won't be pretty.
So Trumpy isn't going to bully them into another colossal embarrassment again. But, hey, the GOP always seems to push the limits of inhumanity to unknown depths, so all bets are off.
