Well it’s a good thing they exempted themselves from being affected by their pre-existing conditions, right? Right?? Won’t somebody think of the Republicans?
Uggggggggggggggggh that fucking atrocity of a human being that represents my district is right in the front. I called her office and couldn’t get through at all. She’s the monster in the pearls and pink sweater. And my God, Pence never stops looking like Dexter Morgan to me.
My son is 17. He is breaking up with his first real love today after school. While he’s having a hard time articulating why it just feels wrong, his biggest worry is hurting her. My heart breaks for them both. Oh my god that shit’s so hard. I remember all the deep feels and guilt of that age and Jeebus, I am so glad I…
I’d love to just scream “you are all beige assholes” at them.

It’s not acceptable to not know what’s in a bill before you vote for it. Often these bills are read by staffers and they should debrief their boss - and for whatever reason, they failed (I would venture to guess it was the hasty nature of this bill being shoved through the House). But no one is being unreasonable by…
Well, I skimmed a few of the amendments, and I’m just a citizen with a FULL TIME JOB and two children who will be directly affected by this. Guess I’m an overachiever.
