Show me a rose, and I'll show you a stag at bay. Show me a rose, or leave me alone. It may just be a coincidence, but I've noticed that the smarter, more educated people I know tend to be progressive, liberal Democrats. AND WHAT ABOUT MY KUMQUATS?

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal.

Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. 

For months, Iโ€™ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news.

Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - weโ€™ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

Well, I guess it's WAY past time for the Dem base to get really pissed off. The regulator on my pressure cooker is starting to jiggle.

In case some of you are unaware.

Some service members that have gone unpaid are being targeted by unscrupulous loan companies.

Although they will receive back pay, these loans are averaging around 18% interest.

Thatโ€™s evil and outrageous but, also a byproduct of the government shutdown.

My blind/disabled daughter receives SNAP benefits. We are willing to wait for the remaining 35% of her disbursement so families like ours arenโ€™t permanently saddled with doubling or more of our healthcare/insurance costs.

Donโ€™t let our sacrifice be for nothing.

The weathiest country in the world doesn't mean a thing if it wonโ€™t feed its own people.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

Cowards

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.๐Ÿ”„

What percentage of Trump's voters actually understand the political implications of our country's president propping up and supporting the likes of Orban and his regime, Xi and China, and Argentina? Our allies have drifted away while Trump cuddles up with Putin and these other dictators.

Many in Trumpโ€™s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.

Many Republicans wonโ€™t do town halls.

They avoid the citizenry because theyโ€™ve stopped serving them.

We deserve much better.

Do you remember when the White House had good taste?

Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

Humanity is doing great

The most evil American is the President of the United States

The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire

And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. Iโ€™ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

Can you imagine being on the Board of Directors of TESLA and deciding to give the world's biggest asshole a TRILLION dollars?

They could have ended hunger for millions of people. #FuckTesla #FuckElonMusk
