the majority of Americans. The Republicans are out to hurt their constituents and destroy America. This isn’t new news but now they are blatantly acting like gangster thugs.

Disgraceful. Disturbing. Disgusting. And, btw, UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Taxation without representation. There is NO Representative Republic.

Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and out right hacking.

The GOP is not a political party, they are a criminal organization.

believe “vote them out” is a possible remedy anymore. Our “elections” are not verifiable, auditable and they are hackable in other words they are not transparent and are therefore not democratic.

Obviously my calls and emails had no effect. Time to up our game by registering more voters, going to more demonstrations, and donating what we can to our candidates.

The way they're handling this legislation has to be challenged. It can't possibly hold up the way they've voted for this thing without a single hearing. The bill wasn't even completely written and yet they passed it anyway. This is totally absurd, not a law. It just shows how desparate they are.

definite "no" early on. Days went by, he turned to a "yes", then the so-called "undecideds" began to fall behind the bill which, still stank to high heaven. Johnson acted as McConnell's Trojan Horse.

7. Bob Corker is the only Republican senator who voted against it.

That is a simpler list. Of course, he is getting out but Flake, McCain and others could have too.

I miss Democracy.

Well actually I'm referring to the Republican Senators. The Dems and Corker tried their best to stop this. No thanks to McCain who could have really made a difference.

20. Flake and Heller just threw away their seats. Democrats need to invest in NV and AZ races now.

Maybe we can use this against Cruz in TX (which as changed from Safe R to Lean R).

What a bunch of feckless traitors to their constituents (who are mostly poor or middle class). I never want to hear about how much of a "maverick" McCain is or how "reasonable" Sasse seems.

They are all whores and their pimps are the Koch Brothers and mega corporations.
