I went to bed Thursday night and slept like a baby, assuming that when I woke up I would have zero health insurance, Carol Foyler, a Trump voter, said. Instead, this nightmare.
Harland Dorrinson, who voted for Trump because he promised that he would take my health care away from me on Day 1, said that he was very upset that he will still receive that benefit.

Didst you love how McConnell and team didn't lift a finger for 8 yrs other than to block Obama, but the ONE thing they are willing to work nights and weekends for is to TAKE healthcare from their constituents.
Fucking amazing to me. more amazing is most of their constituents are going to vote for them again

Name ONE positive thing the Orange Cheat-o and the Repugs have done that was any way related to the concept/dream of HOPE.
This is not leadership - building dreams - making things better (well, at least for the 99%).
It's lies, theft, and deception, plain and simple.
AND SOME STILL SUPPORT IT!!!!!!!
