So, what is the Republican agenda going forward?

Okay, they've cut taxes. Now what? What's next? What do they want to do with all of the power that they have? I really haven't seen nor heard any agenda at all. What are they working on? What are they doing all day?

SNAP, HUD, Veterans, children, poor, middle class all of which to give to the rich.

Fuck with Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Women Rights, Human Rights, Animal Right . . .

Then blame the Dems when everything backfires and puts the USA in a economic and emotional downfall, oh my, it's already happening.

Smedley Butler exposed them a long time ago. Thank God for FDR.

They hate democracy and want total control.

18. THESE Republicans are now a cult. They want a permanent dictatorial state, and death for democracy.

They want to control information and do away with the free press. They want to get rid of those they consider "undesirables" by deportation, denial of voting rights, doing away with the ACA, veteran's benefits, Medicare and Social Security. They want a BIG government that enables their plundering, interferes with women's health, marginalizes POC, and maintains continuous warfare. The last time a government underwent a string of events resembling this was in Germany, c. 1933.

45's supporters are flat-out racist, nationalistic and unreachable. And all the while these "patriots" beat the bibles and invoke the founding fathers. If the American voters fall for this fascist shit in 2020, then it's all over.

finger and say...see govt doesn't fucking work....their list is following the Heritage Foundation plan pretty well...next big items are repeal of the prevailing wage laws, scuttle social security and medicare, eliminate medicare, food stamps, unemployment benefits, etc...as well as annihilation of all regulatory powers of the govt over finances, environment, worker's safety, IRS, FBI, etc

and keep appointing the worlds worst judges

elections have consequences and we have to endurr all this because of the "lesser of 2 evils" wasn't good enough. Well, we are seeing what real evil looks like unleashed on america


of course when trump falls below 30% approval, and indictments start hitting, the republicans may have to choose between survivial and annihilation themselves in Nov 2018 and Nov 2020
