He talked truth to power without fear...even though at the end it was pretty clear security was right behind him. We need more of this righteous vitriol.

It's a directive from people who should really count the most to him: his constituents. NOT the Goddamn insurance lobby, OR the IGMFU politics and agenda of the GOP. IGMFU is an acronym for "I Got Mine, F-U."

This particular constituent of that Congressman was freakin' MAGNIFICENT.

I suspect that two things occurred to him: There is no credible response that he could offer; and, nothing that he heard had the slightest effect upon his decision. Which bears the most influence: Loud rhetoric, no matter how truthful; or big PAC money that offers support for continuing in office at the public trough?

I hope this constituent's outrage isn't appeased by the crumbs the GOP will try to force-feed to him and every other unsuspecting, and naive American who'll believe that crap.

You have a so-called "president" who LIES to you, America. LIES to you. At an almost ridiculous rate. Why do you still cheer for him and swallow his shit?

I don't give a crap about your problems. My donors need tax cuts!

Isn't this the guy that Trump held a fundraiser for about a week ago that netted around a million?
