I respect some of the people in the House and Senate, but the bodies themselves are looking more and more like a joke that only "represents" Americans in the minds of the deluded and ignorant.

I don't see the House and Senate as a body that has anything to do with Article One of the Constitution anymore, this is a view that I think will only increase in number... and people need to wake up, it's the only way things will change.

What we're witnessing is the culmination of decades of Republican strategizing that began with Ronald Reagan's presidency. It's all about wealthy, white men vacuuming up the vast majority of our resources and ruling with absolute authority. Everyone else needs to take a back seat and be grateful for whatever crumbs they deem to throw our way. They Republicans have been masterful in their use of persuasive propaganda to distract from their underlying agenda and millions of Americans have been taken in, even when it's glaringly obvious how they're being used and abused. For those who believe "it can't happen here," it already has.

I have been a deputy registrar for years. Do that if you can. Register people to vote. Make them check and recheck to see that their registrations are valid. Get them to the polls in droves. It is harder to steal elections when large numbers of people vote.

If we wait until 2018, it will be too late to make sure they are all set to vote. Some of them may have to spend time fighting to stay on the rolls.

I was part of a registration drive that took place a short time before the election. We waited too long, as far as I was concerned.

If I need to travel somewhere and help people get to the polls, to provide succor and encouragement to those waiting in line, I will do it.

All you have to do is invoke God, guns, gays, and abortion, and a dead opossum could be a legislator in quite a few states. Definitely in the ones with republican attorneys general. Thanks a lot, Kobach!!!

that means all conservatives are racists, miogynists, greedy, willing to let millions die so millionaires don't have to pay an extra $400 per year, and total traitors to the USA by supporting this asshole who wants to gut NATO and EU so Russia can take over Europe and he can reap huge profits from oligarchs buying hugely overpriced mansions from him and from possible bank note forgiveness.

These other republicans are hiding behind him, doing all the damage they can, while everybody is watching the antics of the flim-flam man. The irresponsible 70-year-old obese teenager should never be mentioned. Also.

Americans. These people are ripping apart our social, economic and government fabric, thread by thread.

If the scum want to 'drain the swamp' they should start with the wing-nuts in the Immigration Service. They are like the Gestapo.
