Ari Melber breaks down at 30 minutes about his story of the youngster with extreme disabilities --

[Akamai]

I see youngsters with major disabilities everyday and I too am touched by the extreme care that parents and family members render to people in need.

The need is great! The pain is all around us. The lack of empathy from the Republican right is astounding!

1. That young man was very articulate

The Republicans are beyond inhumane.

[Akamai]

4. Absolutely! I sure wish that he and his family do well and are not in any difficulty!

[spiderpig]

2. Yes, and Joan Walsh didn't pull any punches with her utter disgust

at the Republican "plan".

People who aren't lucky enough to be born rich (or amoral enough to con their way into the club) are expendable.,

My hatred for these creatures knows no bounds. Paul Ryan benefited from the public teat when it was convenient for HIM. Now he waxes rhapsodic about his kegger dreams of dismantling social systems.

He is a cretin of the first order. More power to his declared opponent, the ironworker, in the midterms.

3. spiderpig -- great for your hatred! It has been said that we are known by our enemies! I hope your

candidates win!

[spiderpig]

6. I can hear my Sundy-school-teaching midwest gramma saying " now, we don't hate!"

but she never saw anything like this.

How can you deny disabled/kids/elderly/chronically-ill people a chance at a fulfilling life so you can save a few dimes on taxes?????????? Seems it's not only easier these days, it's considered an admirable trait.

I just can't with these people.

[Akamai]

9. Hatred is what they deserve.

7. ding, ding, ding..agree. Sending my karma and some bucks for a Ryan opponent to win the seat.

5. Ari's expression of human compassion was indeed heartwarming. The mother and son

who appeared tonight on the show, are the faces and voices of millions of Americans who share their precarious and stressful ordeal. My heart goes out to each and every one of them. They are who we fight for.

[angstlessk]

8. This guy ain't no softie...his beat is a tough one

10. What a great display

of family values, and being pro life by this mom and her son. Will it affect Republican leadership or will money remain supreme? I guess this is a rhetorical question. By the way, didn't Senator McConnell benefit from the public when he contracted polio as a child?

12. I rarely cry, but . . .

This should be viewed by every elected person in the country.

[myrna minx]

13. That segment was so moving. I choked up too.

[Sunlei]

14. lot of people with disabilities don't even have family members. Republicans expect them to just die.

[avebury]

15. Maybe the only way to drive home the evilness of the

Republicans would be for disabled people throughout the country to come out and hold massive demonstrations at their Senate and Republican offices, State Capitols, major cities and so on. They need to get out there and in the faces of the Republicans in such a way that the MSM would have to cover it and get the public support to turn towards the disabled and against the Rethugs. Imagine law enforcement trying to arrest all of them. How would they house them? The disabled would have nothing to lose and they will be making Trump and the Rethugs own what they are doing. And they (and everyone else) should be shouting that the Rethugs are creating the 21st Century version of the Nazi Holocaust. Public appeals should be made to the International Community and the UN for protection against the Rethugs. It is all about making the lives of the Rethugs total hell.

It would be both physically and financially impossible for authorities to have to deal with arresting massive volumes of disabled people and the cases would clog up the judicial system.
