Fuckin MAGA voting IDIOTS like this piss me off!!!

The Con is hurting the 'wrong people'.

Poor Harper, though. Daddy’s racism comes back on Harper.

Exactly.

Guess all "Fed workers are not Dems".

At least it got through to him that this is on trump.

At least he's not saying both sides are responsible.

I've been hearing that far too much.

we here on DU get it, it is finally sinking into the American psyche what is really happening.

I was so worried this morning I sent a e-mail to my Senator Whitehouse. After watching Lawrence O'Donnell with Faye and Airline officials this has got to stop, and also the Senator from Colorado things are coming to a head.

reminds me of the Roman guards:

I guess there really is a bright side to almost everything.

of creating Dems.

California GOP fumes after assemblyman leaves the Republican Party and trashes Trump on his way out

Speaker Pelosi, she is kicking ass.

The stupid **ck is destroying the damned GOP, not to mention the country, and the fools just sit on their hands and watch it!


Mitch McConnell and the GOP:

Hopefully the kid is smarter.

A tragedy that her stupid father could let his hatred for Democrats affect her life. Didn't see it coming eh moron?

1. Trump doesn't care. Mitch doesn't care either.

2. If a charity steps in and helps, Trump, Ross, and the rest will claim it all worked out for the best. Republicans will say this proves that charity/churches, etc. does a better job than government in helping people. Never once considering that they are the cause of the suffering.

Trump will also claim those helping understand the need for a border wall and why people must suffer to get one - and that's why they're helping.


The sickness of it all. It's beyond disgusting.

They just didn't think it would be *their* families

Tragic that it took a sick wee one to examine his decision in 2016. But I would never bust on a parent with a desperately sick child. Been there, done that.

Hopefully, this man joins us in 2020 to thrown the Trumpster and his odious enablers to the curb.

If it doesn't affect me directly then I don't care. I feel for the man and his child. I don't know them and will never meet them in my life, but I can understand and say, "raise my taxes to help make sure that Harper, and any other kid like him can get the care that they need". What I fail to understand is how a segment of the population can hear about children in cages and a young girl dying from dehydration and think, "Well the parents shouldn't have brought her over the border" rather than to understand as parents how desperation could lead to that decision. Think about this, if his kid wasn't threatened, would this guy be "regretting" his decision?

Yes, many of these people only see the world through their own lens. As was the case with the woman in Florida's panhandle suffering the effects of hurricane damage and then the shutdown. Her reported complaint? The Trumpster wasn't hurting the 'right' people. It's a totally selfish, myopic view.

If this shutdown begins hurting the Trumpster crowd, the dedicated base, then maybe this shutdown will have a thin silver lining. That being said, I personally can't dump on a parent with a grievously ill child, particularly if he's willing to open his eyes, even if it's only a little. So, okay his regret is not coming from a pure attitude but at least it's a start. And we've got to start somewhere because Trump is a total disaster, his ability to inflict massive damage a very real and scary prospect.

And emails and shit.

Nice going. I'm hoping we learned something here.

May God Bless his child.

I hope her dad learned something. Such a damn shame that SHE has to pay for his education.

DAMMIT, WE TRIED TO WARN YOU, DUDE!!!

so I doubt he would care much about this precious little one.

...."Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.’s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddy’s grandson (Donald’s grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarch’s death in 1999 said that “all costs” for the sick child’s care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didn’t last long.

A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddy’s son (Donald’s nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge."...

Why this alone wasn't enough to sink his campaign is beyond me. I'd like to think most Republican voters didn't know about it.

One has to be pretty lame to vote for a genuinely horrible man and heartless political party that wants to destroy democracy and gut the government, which would (duh!) include blitzing numerous federal-employee jobs.

Feel badly for the child who is experiencing these health issues.

Republicans only care when it happens to them.

Don’t care about the suffering of others, only care when they’re personally affected.

Sid

are beneath me.

Its' bad. This is a heartbreaking story.

A lot of eyes are getting opened. It has taken awhile, but it's finally happening. A whole lot of the damage can't be undone.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

something until it impacts THEM. Then, and only then, do the lightbulbs all come on at once. It's because they're all fundamentally selfish, and often, not particularly bright.

Point 2 *might* be resoled to some extent with better education, but the selfish thing is a real problem. Maybe along with better education (not more $ necessarily but actual school reform) there could be some kind of community stewardship that starts early in childhood to help people learn to empathize and see beyond their own needs. I don't know.

FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!

God bless the poor little sick baby I hope she gets well soon.

But it's easy to see she will have a hard life with a POS idiot daddy that likes to vote for evil rich racist bastards like Trump who could give a shit about anyone who works for a living!

I bet old MAGA Chris was counting on Trump to stick it to uppity women and PoC though, right DADDY!?

We care about health and well-being of people who aren't directly related to us.

say Federal workers all voted with democrats?

why we need healthcare not tied to a job.

Fuck that guy, fuck that guy all the way to hell and back. I'm sure being in the news will keep the power on at least. Again, seriously fuck that mother fucking guy. Hurting others was cool and now they you are on the receiving end it's not so cool, eh? Once this shit is settled down and we fix everything again they'll be right there voting for fucking Republicans.


FUCK THAT GUY. eom

of sympathy.

... and if the child dies his poor decision will haunt him for the rest of his life.

Not sad for the asshole who voted for drumpf in the first place, obviously he's pretty ignorant and only cares because it's him affected.
