and I'm afraid that's setting a super high bar. What if none of that shit happens?

So far, they've talked about Obamacare, trade, corporate taxes, and building up the military. None of those stated goals include starting a nuclear war, or cutting medicare and social security.

Do we look like idiots for forecasting the elimination of the safety net, and the forthcoming nuclear apocalypse, and none of that comes to happen?

When a person lets you know, by their own words, time and again, who they are….Believe them. Both the Puppet & Ryan have been explicit in letting us know exactly who they are.

Ari Melber, standing in for Chris Hayes, had Harry Hurd on, biographer of the Puppet, mentioned who taught the Puppet everything he knows...besides his mendacious father, Roy Cohen taught him everything he knows. And if there ever was a wicked, mean, vicious man…it was Roy Cohen.

The Puppet & Ryan are wrecking balls, we ignore them at our peril.

First Obamacare is ACA and if they even touch or repeal and delay it will go into a tailspin, insurers will walk and 20 million people will be without care. They have been clear on what they wish to do.

People are going to die. That does not even include those on Medicare. Medicare is linked to ACA. They will lose as well. They have stated that is exactly what they will do. You are saying we should not be concerned? They have been clear that they want all our safety nets gone. That is a fact.

ACA Medicare Medicaid SS, gone. Get on your phone and protest to your reps.

As for the nuclear codes. Donnie has a new toy. He has already said that if we have them why not use them. Fear him.
