It's not the "Government" or "the Congress" or "the Senate" who's keeping it closed

It's two men, Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.
They are responsible for this and take ALL the blame.

I see them the same I would a Nazi German soldier in WWII.

Trying to kill me and my family and all of us for that matter.

That is who they are. They have made it CLEAR they have no interest in me breathing.

I have to take issue with that point. It certainly IS the Senate. The Senate had an opportunity today to stop this mad man, and the cowards walked away. Mitch Turtlehead is ONE senator, and a damned low life disgusting one at that. I have very little respect for the late Senator mcGrumpy, but his vote saved The ACA. Five or six sneaky repuKKKes voted with the Dems on the House bill, even though it was a political stunt to cover their threatened asses. The Senate could have voted like they did in December and override this pig in the White House when he vetoes the bill...but they didn't!

The Senate IS part of the problem...a BIG part. The tyrant only has 1/3 of the power of the government. The Senate is rolling over and handing him their equal power. Disgusting!

The Kentucky turtle allowed the vote. That 98-2 or 100-0 vote they took in December recieved 52-X today. Forty-seven cowards were afraid to vore against the orange slug and the chinless sow. I may be off on exact numbers, but my point is dRumpf castrated the Senate.

This is not sustainable; once air traffic stops (we did it 9/11/01) maybe things will change.

their support Mitch would pretty much be forced to concede and bring it to the floor for a vote.

This debacle could be brought to an end immediately but for the defiance and ego of two men: Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.

Never forget, never forgive.
