Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP’s ongoing assault on Americans’ health.
We have shutdown stakes coming more clear:
Whose insurance will soon disappear?
Repubs want to shift wealth,
At expense of our health,
To the donors their ilk hold most dear.

"We just verified with the Congressional Budget Office and of the 13.7 MILLION Americans who will lose their health care because of the Republicans' tax-cuts-for-billionaires bill, exactly ZERO are undocumented immigrants!"

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

The trump regime started their latest round of firings of federal workers yesterday. If you are a federal worker and aren’t a member of a union it might be time to join one. Unions will work to protect you from trump’s attack on your livelihood.

It’s catching. No one in the Trump Regime understands percentages. According to Fake Dr Oz drugs will be free with a rebate of 650%? So a $10 script will get $6500 back? Wow. Pharmaceutical companies are gonna need a bigger truck. My 7 prescriptions will pay off my house. #ProudBlue

He loves living in his own warped reality! The asshole has a phone and thus access to all forms of news and facts but he chooses to believe his own bullshit and likely only seeks info that confirms his bullshit, reinforcing his crazed reality.
