Everyone knows it and Republicans are too corrupt and chickenshit to do a thing about it. We're fucked.

I am sending negative vibes into to the universe directed at his personal health. May his cold heart explode and end him soon.

be careful not to think about it too hard or you might burst a blood vessel from the intense brilliance of our genius in chief. It's way above all of our heads.

as far as he's concerned. People's health doesn't enter into his limited mind. All he can think of is "more money for me and people like me".

We all have the Google to easily factcheck everything he says, so I just don't understand who he thinks is buying his lies.

The twit only knows how to tweet.

I believe that he does not use computers. Other people do that for him.

maybe dump has inside info that the kochroaches are working behind the scenes getting the bill ready to try to ram thru at least the House, as they did with dumpcare.

Still not moving along 'in Congress' but something might be festering in the bowels of the GOPee.

or a photon. One of those things that does exist but you can't see it.

Alternatively, it's something buzzing around in Dump's tiny brain.
