The GOP's cruelty has set

the people who are afraid of not being able to have or afford their insurance against the people afraid of not having food. The fascists deserve a lot more criticism than any Senate Democrat.

stalin starved ukrainians to establish his regime, william of normandy harried the north of england for the same reason.

the private equity capitalists who have occupied our nation are merely establishing their dominance, this should be all over in a few decades, and those who survive will have lost billions of pounds (according to oligarch dr oz) and be too healthy due to natural immunity the only kind jesus likes)

maybe we should thank them for it? or at least provide ouryoung virgins for use by dear leader. he does suffer so much to keep us from falling for the "wickedness and snares" of commie and specialist "enemies within."

Either way, it tastes like shit. You can put all the ketchup and mustard in the world on it, it makes no difference. There are no good choices, and we're at the mercy of a thug whose cruelty knows no bounds.

Everyone knows republicans suck. The Democrats aren’t supposed to suck and yet they go ahead and do it anyway. Constantly scoring own goals to prop up the ruling class isn’t a good look.
