hoping they will associate democrats with the source of their pain and discourage people from voting.

about pushing.. first of all the original route was right through the ogallala aquifer.. the largest fresh water aquifer in the world.. it is the source of fresh water for 8 states and 2 million people.. now they have it routed where it would cross the Yellowstone river.. the Nioabra River..it is a disaster of immense proportions just waiting to happen

I live in western Iowa.. I see Nebraska from my front porch I really do.. but you cannot get it through to the right.. they now see everything and I mean everything though a political lens..

Its a mess..

homelessness, hunger, bankruptcy, and despair. All brought to its victims by a bunch of pond scum millionaires who don't give a rat's ass about the plight of those whose lives they've destroyed. I cannot wrap my head around how anyone is ok with this and want to see Dems vocally take up the cause and shame (if it's at all possible) these lowlifes into action.

Both figuratively and literally. They quite honestly believe in starving the "surplus population" out, and they're letting that show quite nakedly. I figure unemployment was done the moment that wretched "deal" went down in December that specifically left EUC out.

I'm very lucky. I had a lifeboat to hop into. Many, many people cut off unemployment don't, and they go down with the ship. For many, it's already too late.

May Boehner roast in hell along with his entire heartless, sociopathic party.
