If the tax bill passes, nothing in your world will be the same either now or

down the road.

This will be the single most overwhelming legislation doing harm to 90% of the public, it is simply off the charts.

End of Medicare, end of Obamacare, deficits like we have never seen that we simply cant recover from. Eventually end of Medicaid and Social Security, everything.

And millions of people who will be DEVASTATED by this are ROARING in approval.

Now THAT is a level of dumb that I dont think we can survive. But, VA surprised me in that I assumed all the democratic party attackers on the LEFT would fuck that up, and they didnt.

So if it does pass, there is hope we can take the house in 18, but what cant be reversed?

I know we cant take the IMPOSTER occupier of the SC seat out of his seat, that is IRREVERSIBLE no matter how ABSURD it is that it was allowed to happen.

Last week during an emergency phone call from Bernie, MoveOn, Indivisible we were told what was ahead in the next few weeks. The Senate will go on Thanksgiving Recess so while they are home people need to organize town halls, go to their homes, local offices, etc as well as call and write. The week starting Nov 27th is "A WEEK OF ACTION" and that is when we hit them in DC and protest across the country. The goal is to DELAY the vote. Check this link out for ways you can help.

Gives Dems a large enough majority and we'll impeach that mother fucker right off the Supreme Court.

Don't even need a God damned reason if you have the votes.
