The WH diminishes the anger, number, passion, intensity of GOP Town Halls are their peril!

Sean Spicer speaker for Trump demeaned, mocked and belittled the people at the town halls during his WH Press Conf. today. #Shame
I think msnbc is doing a good job discussing it. Lots of talk of Obamacare also.

Spicer attacking ACA as failing. What he won't tell u is that it's failing where Rs sabotaged it by not accepting Medicaid expansion.

We have to be vigilant against their propaganda, which is pretty much all they have today but is very powerful.

policies to kill and harm enough of us and to the point of distraction that we cant worry about what they are doing anymore.

For now most of us still have enough food and healthcare that we can focus on their agenda of hate and destruction, soon we will all be too busy trying to survive to care.

The go ahead on deportations is meant to try and taunt patriots into reacting thus having martial law.

The healthcare thing is greed and hate, and if you dont have healthcare then their rich friends have more access.

Equal access for all like the rest of the world is not what they want, they want priority based on skin color and privilege which always translates to money in this country.

Bannon desperately wants to see the natl guard shooting brown people and liberals in the street, so we have to not give that to him.

running from them, hiding out from them and blaming an Obama/Hillary shadow government on them!

Because 2018 will be a bloodbath for Dump's Goldman Sachs government if they do!
