“ObamaCare has been repealed in this bill,” President Trump declared, referring to the repeal of the individual mandate in the GOP tax bill. “We didn’t want to bring it up. I told people specifically, ‘be quiet with the fake news media because I don’t want them talking too much about it, ’cause I didn’t know how people would [react].’”
—Trump boasts he has repealed Obamacare, does not understand how law works
‘Are you living in a fantasy world?’
—Savannah Guthrie to Paul Ryan
Low income children are going to die all over America because the GOP congress couldn’t find money to extend the CHIP program while giving tax breaks for private jets and inheritances for the idle rich.
Can we PLEASE stop using the royal ‘we’ here?
We didn’t do this. We didn’t cause this. We don’t deserve this.
This is absolutely 100% front to back REPUBLICAN doing.
Every garbage idiot you know that is nice to you and your white friends and family but votes straight ® out of some barely-thought-through notion of a rugged individualism they have never actually possessed caused this.
Elections have real consequences and the drivers of that consequence are voters.
This ain’t a WE. This is a THEY.
And they are trash.
From the millions who will lose health coverage or see their premiums go up, to the middle class families who will see their tax bill increase, to the pristine region of Alaska that will open to drilling, it’s hard to overstate the cruelty of the Trump-Republican bill.

Memorize their names, their faces. Never forget, how they stole from sick children to give money to rich old abusive men.
Then take a breath at the magnitude of the theft.
Then get ready to take EVERY SINGLE ONE of these soulless cowards down. pic.twitter.com/O4lUbbnBlo

Plus, if the only thing that matters to being a ‘Christian’ is your ‘faith’ and not your actions (more or less you can just do whatever so long as you say jesus rulez #1) then you’re really just a cult of assholes and your religion is toxic and sociopathic. You have no morality.
Oh, and on the ‘good republicans’ thing:
They are quiet as hell while their cult runs roughshod over our country and its institutions but man do they get chatty when called out. Usually about how they know a gay guy.
Republicans. Are. Evil. Trash.
This Monday, take a break from revelry for a moment to deck your Republican Uncle just as his mouth starts moving.
And yeah,
I’m not one of those people that hates Christmas but seriously, just get on with it already.
I’m exhausted and everything sucks except Star Wars and Pringles and I want to go hide out on the island of dogs that doesn’t exist.
