It's 1:30am in DC.

Cory Gardner, one of my senators dammit, is presiding over the vote to begin repealing the ACA. He's thoroughly enjoying shutting down any Democratic commentary.

I just called his office and left a message, letting him know that I'm one constituent who doesn't appreciate his part in a measure that will unavoidably result in the deaths of many Americans.

What the fuck is happening to this country!

Not only that, he was my (dorm) roommate in college - though I haven't seen him since I could escape that situation.

What's worse - it takes this for me to finally make my first comment on this site that I've been following for years but full out addicted to for the last 12 months or so.

then when it comes down to fucking over the American middle and lower classes, they stay late to get it done.
What a bunch of god damned fucking assholes.
I hope there is a hell, and I hope there is a special place for them.
The Race War is on assholes—and we have more troops.
