I've been getting emails...Resistance and Dem groups aren't buying it!

This will give the big $ time to buy the rest of the GOP senators just like in the House.

I am going to a Die-In/candlelight vigil tonight...this is NOT over, keep calling and resisting.

The House did the same thing and I trust the Senate as far as I can throw them! Older, yet wiser. Don't relax yet...the House made it more cruel and it passed in the blink know of an eye with the "meaner" version for the Freedom Caucus.

I am curious...how do Dems in red states maintain their sanity?

Seriously, I live in a blue city and state and am on the verge of a nervous breakdown everyday. I applaud all of you! How do you do it?

Kellyanne says, "Get a job". Her answer to Medicaid recipients.

The idiot doesn't know shit so what else is new. Data, research, etc prove her statement to be completely void of facts (alternative truth).

What are your 5 "desert island" discs?

I can't narrow mine down to even 10 let alone 5.

Do you think the 5 or 6 "hold out" Repub will be swayed in the Senate?

I have the feeling that the Senate will do what the House did when they didn't have enough votes the first time around. They made it even more harsh to appease the Freedom Caucus/Tea Party and it sailed through followed by a beer party. Will Mitch Mean McConnell make it even "meaner"? "Hell, yes!" is my opinion.

Poli-Sci question:If the Senate ACA repeal bill gets voted down

can they re-introduce it and when? Regardless of whether it happens before or after July 4th, is there a time limit?

What happens to the $ millions donated to Jill Stein

to do the recount of three states after the election? I know this isn't a campaign question but this was the only forum that seems similar.

Does anyone here belong to a local Resistance/Meet Up group?

I am curious. I live in CA and it is a blue state and there are MANY local Meet Up groups in San Diego working very hard and taking Indivisible as their guide. I am so impressed with the realistic, intelligent, professional and long and short term actions they are working on. They have created so much in such a short time. I resist with my talents and whatever I feel will be an asset to to help them. They really give me hope that this isn't a short lived "fad" as some had predicted early on.

Do you think the Senate will pressure and appease their far right members?

That's how the House got it through the second time. They met with each Freedom Caucus rep and easily passed it?

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
