nursing home visiting my mother a rant just pissed

I'd love to drag scumbag pat toomey and fuck clown Lou barletta thru this place and show them what trump no care would do to good people. My mothers roommate and my mother they are totally dependent on Medicaid. And having lunch with them these two ladies who worked their whole lives paid taxes like many elderly, they are looked upon as a burden by the repugs. Ok I said my piece we understand, time to play parcheesi with my mother and her roommate I got keep my eye on them they have fast hands. They try and move a few extra spaces trying play me oh dear I must be getting old.

Doesn't a "rant" allow for a certain bit of incoherence? Enjoy the Parcheesi! flor-de-jasmim Jul 2017 #3

I only opened it because I like playing word puzzle games, but I could not figure this one out. Even if it was run through a Klingon translator, from the headline, I still wouldn't know who is pissed, is it the nursing home, my mother, or a rant?

And what the poster said is spot on. Let these weasels walk a mile in the shoes of those they will callously kill in slavish service to their obscene wealthy puppeteers.

It disgusts me how republicans view elderly people on Medicaid / SS as a burden (unless of course it is their elderly loved one). My grandmother worked for 60yrs / 40hrs a week, paid her taxes, paid into SS, helped others whenever she could. Listening to republicans (like Paul Ryan) talk about people like my grandmother and your mother in the disparaging terms they do (a burden or a drain on society) infuriates me. I will never understand how people can vote for republicans...never.
