    “If we see a lapse in pay come the 15th, my children do not get to get the medication that’s needed for them to live their life,” she said. “As a Republican, I am disappointed in my party and I’m very disappointed in you because you do have the power to call the House back." Samantha knows what’s going on, and so do many GOP constituents, and most US citizens, I suspect.

        Tbf, if the Republicans had their way, it wouldn’t have been a problem in the first place since her children would have been dead long ago. But, alas, why must the Democrats treat us this way.

            There’s no sarcasm. The Nazis want to cull 3/4 of the population to enact their fascist state more efficiently.

            The genocide is part of the plan. Vought and Miller are sadistic filth, and they don’t deserve to breathe another minute of our air.

    This GOP fuckery will end when we remove the GOP from all of the levers of power in this country.

    They have suggested voting now, then “renegotiating” these issues afterwards. Yet none have presented a follow-up bill that outlines this, for what needs to happen before November 1st, and not like the last possible day. Where’s their timetable to get this done in time? If they don’t have one ready, they’re just lying again.

    Psychopath sits stone-faced as mother begs for her childrens’ lives.

    Everyone gets to have the day you voted for whether we like it or not.

    The Dems should love this, though. He’s just reacting the same way they do when people beg them for universal healthcare.
