As your health care goes away and as your taxes become too much for you to handle.

Fall on that sword that thuglicans have all planned for YOU.

Yep....

As our premiums go up, and as we're being lead into a WAR by Dotard J. tRumputin, because he's frightened that Mueller's getting too close, Purity Dems will have that

You talking about your health care as you say Bye Felicia? thuglicans are when they say Bye Felicia to YOUR health care, and as YOU pay for tax cuts for the rich.

thuglicans are laughing at you purity Dems and so is Dotard J. tRumputin, Mitch McTurtle & Roy Mall Rat Moore who'll be sitting IN the Senate voting against laws which would protect women/children from sexual harassment and domestic violence.

Yep, the jokes on purity YOU

YEP.

Dotard J. tRump, McTurtle, Ryan and soon-to-be Senator and Mall Rat Roy Moore ALL salute you, and laugh at you, as THEY'LL all show their respect of women by getting rid of Rowe v Wade, and any other legislation favorable to women or that advances the cause of women and children for that matter. Was nice while CHIP lasted.

The votes aren’t there with him.

And his replacement will be a progressive as well.

Whole lot of hand-wringing over this.

I have zero tolerance for sexual harassment, unlike the GOP and many (it seems) here.

Uh, no as Dems are in the minority and will probably stay the minority party for a good long time if not forever because they're so weak, but he was a very strong voice for women. I guess Roy Mall Rat Moore will be the voice of women in the Senate now

A whole lot of hand-wringing?

You're damn right there is, because it'll now be open season on Dems who may have paid accusers coming after them, or people with an ax to grind, and all it will take is accusations and Dems folding like a house of cards once again. That's why we needed to see this thing through with an investigation and if Franken was found to have done all he was accused of fine, then he should have to resign. But these accusations by anonymous people with you're being dismissed and not able to defend yourself is not right or fair.

Welp, let me get back to seeing how high my premiums will go up under the new tax cut bill for the rich, Courtesy of thuglicans who know how to roll Dems like a big old drum.

And molesting, raping and touching 14 year old LITTLE GIRLS through their panties is even worse.

Self-proclaimed p***y-grabbing president and NEWEST Senator from Alabama, Roy Racist Mall Rat Moore will make sure laws presented to protect women from domestic violence/rape/sexual harassment won't even see the light of DAY.

A man who was so disgustingly predatory, that he was banned from a damn MALL will be your next sitting US Senator

Roy Moore should end his campaign.

What’s your point? Can you not walk and chew gum at the same time?

Also, I don’t live in AL. No one from that state is “my senator”.
