The GOP's politics of destruction (of American society) goes on unabated. Killing Obama (politically) and the Dems trumps helping the country out of this REPUBLICAN DYSTOPIA.

(This turd is not fucking Democrat!!. Stop calling him that!_JW) on Thursday evening defeated an urgent bill to reauthorize expired several expired domestic aid programs.
