Gaslight, USA! Today’s trouncing – Your Healthcare

Yay! The Trump trouncing of our civil rights keeps smashing through — how thrilling. Today the House will vote — again — to repeal Obamacare. Why?

My dear readers, please call your elected officials and tell them that if they care about America, if they care about their constituency, they will vote against the latest Trump “care” bill.

Thank you, I feel a little better now … until the next childish prank pulled by our current infantile president and his merry band of cheats and con artists.
