    Today's the big day for Trump-Care….that is, unless it isn’t (remember, we’ve been here before)

    Has Mike Coffman made up his mind yet? If it passes House, Con Man Cory will have to cast a vote on it too!

    Obama's Justice Department

    It seems that the crooks and cronies branch of the Dems was using the Justice Department not just against their Republican enemies and to protect the ultimate crook, Hillary, but also to punish internal Dem dissent.

    At least the crooks and cronies branch of the Dems abused their power in a non-partisan way.  How many Wall Street folks went to jail for what they did during the financial crisis when the crooks and cronies were in power?  Just sayin'.

      "just sayin'"equals talking through Moldy's anus

      What's wrong, Gerbils?  Nothing good to say about your Party's excitement over shoving at least 20 million people off healthcare?  You must be proud of the fact that if your party succeeds in getting Trump to sign the repeal of Obamacare, you can ensure (as opposed to insure) that tens of thousands more people will die each year!  

      And just think of all those hyperinflated medical bills causing even more families to declare bankruptcy — even the middle class won't be able to handle those.

      That's gotta give you a massive woody, right?

        I don't know that Putin's designated hitter is capable of a massive woody.  But he is most likely getting his jollys off of the idea of millions of people suffering.

      It's like shooting fish in a barrel with you, KornJolio. What?!?  Someone making a claim they had more pledges than dollars?  Who'd have thunk?  I won't waste my breath on the Trump University $25mm fraud "settlement" but you might consider a refresher course.

    The most insightful piece you'll read all day about the profound evil these despicable, contemptible, anti-democracy, anti-American GOP pig f–kers in the House are attempting to perpetrate today:
