I want medicare for all. What's the best way to get there?

You could try and pass it all at once like Bernie wants to do. The Republicans would go into full propaganda mode.They would scare the hell out of their voters. Or you could try to do it step by step. For example, expand medicare to 55 years old and above. If that proves to be successful you could expand it further.

The democrats should not talk with Trump about tax reform until this happens.

He releases his tax returns. The democrats need to get tougher on Trump. That should be the first condition before any discussion on any tax reform.

I am worried that the democrats are setting themselves up to suckered by Trump. There is no way Trump or the republicans are going to agree on tax reform simply for the middle class. They want giant tax cuts for the rich. Trump is calling it a middle class tax cut.

What I would like to see congress pass is a large tax increase on the rich to pay for a big infrastructure bill and start rebuilding America.

That makes to much sense so it will never happen.

The United States of Suckers. Here is my list of those suckered by Trump.

Al Gore went to a meeting with Trump as an expert on climate change. He left the meeting a complete sucker.

Our so called smart business leaders joined a fake Trump business counsel. Suckers. I knew it was fake the moment I saw it. Why do the american people put these people on a pedestal?

Our big union leaders (no wonder unions are disappearing) joined the fake business counsel. Suckers and idiots. If I were a union leader I would never speak to Trump.

The Republicans in congress were shocked Trump back stabbed them. Suckers. Don't worry republicans Trump will be nice to you very soon. You will work together again. He will make you happy and then he will back stab you again.


Trump voters, the kings of suckers, believe Trump will make America great again. Trump knows they are suckers. He knows he can lie to them. He can do something they don't like. It does not matter. He knows he can simply be nice to them, do something they like and they will come back to be suckered time and time again.


The democrats are lining up to be suckered. Be careful Chuck and Nancy. You are about to be suckered.

All the contractors who worked for Trump. Suckers.

The news media has been suckered by Trump. If I were a member of the news media everything I reported about Trump would begin and end with the word impeach. Suckers.

It is clear, America is full of suckers. Whats scary is everyone knows Trump has spent his entire life suckering people. People just keep coming back for more.

If my parents were still alive I would thank them with all my heart for teaching me not to be a sucker.

Tax the rich to help pay for Texas/Florida recovery.

The reason why is simple. They have all the money. They rigged the game the past forty years. Many of them spend millions of dollars fighting against moving away from oil and coal. Many of them are greedy land developers. They fought against regulations on land development. They wanted to build anywhere they pleased. Fuck them, make them pay.

I am going to laugh my ass off watching Trump and the republicans try to persuade people we have to give giant tax cuts to the rich and corporations as we spend hundreds of billions of dollars repairing Texas and Florida.

George W. Bush killed the republican party, Trump is burying the corpse.

The Republican parties years of lies and propaganda has caught up to them. The party has broken into pieces. All that is left is the super rich assholes who are destroying our country, racists and complete idiots. The base. We have not begun to see the damage this freak show is going to do to our country. The pain has just begun. The Republican Party will not survive this disaster.

MSNBC. Its official Trump is amazing. He really cares. BARF.

What the fuck is wrong with the american people?

Trump is putting on a fake show at this very moment. Everyone is falling for it again.

He is acting like he cares. Taking pictures with families and kids. I am going to throw up. The news women on MSNBC was saying this is a different president. Dumb.

The greatest act of betrayal since the civil war. The american peoples response was unimaginable.

During the campaign, Trump in an infamous moment in our history asked Russia to attack our presidential election. He did this on TV for the entire country to see. He asked our #1 enemy to attack our democracy and find clintons e-mails to help him win the election. When I saw this I screamed at the TV. Fucking Traitor.

The news media response was weak. They reported on it and then moved on. 60 million americans cheered this betrayal. They voted for Trump. As they cheered they chanted "lock her up". Reason was lost.

I could never imagine the american people doing something like this. When Trump said that I thought his campaign was over. I still can't believe he won. We are all now going to pay for this great betrayal.

The 60 million americans who voted for Trump are going to pay a heavy price for what they did. At this very moment Trump and the extremists he put in charge of our government are destroying our lives by a thousand cuts. They are deregulating everything. Workers rights, workers safety regulations are being gutted. Federal workers may have their lives destroyed. People will die. People will die on the job because of deregulation. Millions of Trump voters will be ruined financially by Trump. People who did not vote for this traitor will also have their lives ruined.

Not only did Trump voters betray their country when they voted for Trump, They betrayed themselves. They betrayed their families.

Good luck everyone.
