Just shameful to vote against helping US citizens. I really need to start planning to leave my homeland. This is not the US that I know and love.

There might not be a lot left.
The trump voters will suffer to.
I hope they enjoy Trump care.

(15,369 posts)from the terrorist Rs and their Wanna-Be-Tsar! Believe me, it hurts just as bad from afar. I reside abroad but still have lots of family and friends who are literally at the mercy of these POS.
In September, Hubby and I drove from Maryland to Colorado and then north to Montana and back. The US is a HUGE country with LOTS of wonderful people in it. Of course, we also live in our white privilege bubble, so did not see firsthand what some are subjected to on a regular basis.
Please remember that more than three million more of us did NOT vote for The Dotard and also, in spite of the nastiness that still gets most of the headlines, there are a lot of good things happening in many places - some of them surprisingly so - and all heartening.
I chose to live abroad because I had a marvelous opportunity to do so and want to enjoy an excellent quality of life for as long as I can. My state of voting residence is MD, which is still a wonderful state to live in, so long as the state Dems keep the GOPer Gov in check.
I also try to host family members and others so as to show them life outside the US bubble, so that they can spread the word. The only problem is that sometimes they don't want to return to the US, LOL!

(47,953 posts)The aid to PR was in the form of yet another loan. Just what they need, more debt. And 5 billion won't even begin to cover their needs. But it is something, better than nothing.
I would bet serious money that none of the people who voted no were doing so in hopes of a better bill. Racist, evil, stupid bastards.
