It will not be a slight trim. They will hack away and will not care how much pain it causes.

8. And we'd not only be alive while it happened but have to

live with it after.

One thing about all these big houses many have been building, they have ground floor living and/or dining rooms to turn into bedrooms for grandparents and others who can't climb stairs. I expect many ground-floor master suites would be turned over to elders while parents went upstairs with the kids.

But not everyone has those options. Democrats need to realize every bit as much as Republicans that in future they may need to use their living room and/or garage as sleeping space and their own retirement and childrens' college funds to pay medical bills (as long as they last). And not all that far into the future, either, if enough don't wake up.

The people plotting to pull this off are not consulting our wishes, they are plotting to overthrow them.

4. When I was a little girl I asked my dr. if I was going to get a needle.

He said "Oh honey, after these tests you're going to get lots of needles." (allergy tests)

Know what I did when he came after me for those tests?

Kicked him in the face with my Sunday best patent leather shoes. Apparently I was thorough because he never did test me and just told my mother to get me out of his office. By the way, no allergies that have ever presented themselves.

We have to do this to the assholes on November 6. Kick them with such ferocity that they lose everywhere possible and lose everything they've taken from us.

spewing hate and bullshit, and this includes your children, your wife and administration.

SSI, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, HUD, Meals on Wheels, etc. are essential for the well being especially for senior citizens and the young who cannot afford everyday cost of living.

That tax cuts for the rich, is only for them. Middle class and poor do pay higher taxes for far less income.

comes across like he's really looking forward to the misery and destruction he's about to cause.
how about that - a president who actively hates America.
what a complete waste of flesh he is

You’re going to lose the House. And then you’re going to lose what’s left of your mind.

keep the Senate. All of a sudden, McConnell and crew are concerned about deficits. The deficits they ran up along with the current White House with their Tax Cuts, and Spending. That's why we have to take the Senate as well. McConnell has to go.

16. He'll brand it claiming its a restructuring of them all

But it 'll really be complete destruction of all these programs. He'll call it something like "leave no Senior Behind" which will be again the opposite of the truth , but he does that all the time. Seniors regret voting for trump and the gop yet? If that wasn't enough , just wait for his war he'll cause, and the devaluation of the dollar about 20-30 % . They want a depression, and those that vote for this are crazy.
