THESE ARE THE STORIES the Republicans need to be FORCED to see and hear.

I DARE Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to tell this little kid: "Sorry. You're just not worth it. America - rich as it is - can't afford you. Die." THIS is who their greed is killing. The dirtbag insurance and drug companies funding those 13 senators who wrote that BCRA monstrosity should have to answer to this mother too.

After Juan Williams factually pointed out that the bill was going to drive up premiums, especially for the elderly, and drastically reduce funding for Medicaid, that’s when Gutfeld and Guilfoyle began mocking Williams’ pleas.

“We’re going to let them die, according to the liberals!” Gutfeld quipped.

Williams then responded, once again, by using facts to point out how this bill would lead to seniors being denied access to nursing homes.

“If you are putting a cap on Medicaid, and people are in nursing homes, that’s how the nursing home gets paid, you are pushing people out,” Williams pointed out.

“You forgot the children dying of cancer,” Guilfoyle mocked under her breath.

...or poor, we should just let them die. Can't afford them. Not an exact quote and she couldn't remember who it was. I wish I knew. I'd spread that vile comment from her far and wide.

12. I guess she (on tv) has not had anyone close to her with a curable illness.

Their response? "As fake as Sandy Hook."

Anyone who believes Sandy Hook was faked has been brainwashed beyond redemption.

8. These shitheads can't face reality. When shown that their greed is unjustifiable, they just block it

Pretend it's not reality - even when it is.

I keep going back to that old Elvis quote:

Truth is like the Sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Is low hanging fruit to these assholes. Somebody gets sick? Clean the family out then kick them under the bus. Hopefully they'll die before the next election.

My question could also be intended for God, who created Trump and millions of deplorables.

How can these motherfuckers sleep at night? They are evil to the core. I will joyfully dance upon their graves when the time comes and I hope it is sooner rather than later.
