F*cking gross letting Americans suffer while they play games with our lives, but hand over $40B of our taxpayer money like it’s their own personal piggy bank to their dicKtator friend, no problem….

Are we winning yet? 🙄

So, lets see.

Farmers overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
Trump did tariffs for no reason which hurt farmers.
Then they did a bailout of Argentina.
Argentina then supplanted US soybean exports to China.
And now we're doing a bailout of farmers.

I just want to make sure I understand the stupidity here.

Do Republicans really want to bring up #ShariaLaw again?
How very 2014 of them

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Thom Hartmann’s new book, The Last American President, is one giant fact check on the Whopper-in-Chief, and much more — a disturbing dive into the roiling miasma of self-aggrandizing, self-deluding, psychologically shattered, wailing man-child who is Commander-in-Chief.

Bernie will not back down to Republicans. His #CupOfJoe has the fierceness that we need from every Democrat & Independent in Congress. If any GOP has balls, they will vote against this budget.

We wouldn’t have to bail out our farmers if Frumpy hadn’t bailed out Argentina, started tariffs and tabked the soybean market. He runs our country like one of his bankrupt companies.

BREAKING: Trump is seeking $10 BILLION+ for a farmer bailout.

Why the hell is my money going to bail out people who voted for Trump, who hurt them financially?

Meanwhile he's taking healthcare away from people who need it.
