Republicans are going for it ALL, trillions to the top 0.1%, & destroy the entire social safety net

They will bank on COVID-19 wiping out huge swathes of the elderly and working poor, then claim that the 5-6 Trillion USD (per multiple US Dem Senators just now on MSNBC) they just 'spent' (stole) is the reason they have to shut it all down.

McTurtle is going to try and go for THE kill shot. THANK FUCK we took back the House or there would literally be NOTHING we could do to stop it.

I am underselling the panic I have just heard in Senator after Senator's voices.

but the national coffers would be totally depleted by that time, transferred into the pockets of the top 0.1% and Fat Donnie.

Moscow Mitch and his minions in the Senate are trying to rid the country of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, free school meals, and all those other social programs they despise, all in one fell swoop.

Bill Barr is working on shredding the Bill of Rights and weakening the judicial branch's power.

Thank you, God, for creating coronavirus as a means of proving there truly is Evil in the world.

We need to call them out, all of them.

Where are all the Democratic candidates on this crap?

Seems like Trump is the only voice the media is getting out to us?

McConnell sees a must-pass bill, and all kinds of ugly things can happen in those cases.
