our comedians are a better source of news and information than our news media.

Thanks for posting this. I think we TiVoed it, because we usually watch Colbert. I was glad to watch it here.

I cannot remember ever hearing someone in his position speak like that. It just sent chills up my spine.

Jimmy for president. 😍

Smart, clear, great analogy and correct!
I suggest to also call...
Paul...Kentucky 224-4343
Portman...Ohio 224-3353
Lee...Utah 224-5444
Moran...Kansas224-6521
Caputo...We. Virginia 224-6472

YOU CAN CALL GOP reps from a different state and to make the phone staffers think you are a constituent just go to google and type in Zillow for any random city in a state and write down an address for a house to rent or buy and use that as validation in case they ask. IT WORKS! I have been doing it for months and it literally takes 2 minutes.
Call non stop until Oct 1st!!!! Tell the GOP bastards to go to HELL (the Hell reserved for the 1%).

The fake prez doesn't even know what is in the bill (he never even bothers to read them before he publicly lies about the content. On the other hand, Graham and Cassidy (and Johnson) do know and are lying constantly. PLEASE CALL!!! Thank you!
Today my sister told me that she is willing to pay for all of my healthcare if this repeal goes through. My 83 year old parents said the same thing. I am single and will use up all of my hard earned teacher savings within a year to pay for the endless needed surgeries to reduce the severe pain that I will endure until I eventually die (and bankrupt). The pain is so severe that morphine has no effect. The ACA repeal will deplete my savings, my sister's family will be financially hit hard as will my poor parents. This is not my country. My country wouldn't sell out the very lives of 32 million people's in order to achieve reduced taxes for the 1%....oh wait, that is exactly what my government is doing.

of so many other right wingers. they turn right wing and start attacking the liberal, hollywood elite because they were never accepted into the crowd.

i liked how he was ok with christie insulting him since christie opposed the shitty bill.
