The same party that cries “protect the children” at drag brunches is now trying to starve kids overseas so Raytheon can get a raise.

UNICEF’s budget? Too expensive. Cluster munitions for proxy wars? Patriotic bargain.

If hypocrisy were a renewable resource, the GOP could power the grid.

Tim, obviously an important matter and even more cruelty. But my question to you is - do you have a clone or identical twin? You are everywhere!! 😍

My senator is Mike Lee. He is an arrogant, immoral man. He also pretends to be Mormon-I think the elders of his church are horrified by his lack of integrity and cruelty.

Especially, if it's people of color...

Remember they only like the "unborn" not any live child here in the US or abroad.

JD is such a "Christian" -- I sure hope he does believe in god because no Roman Catholic confession will wipe this away.

KT Bitch called, went to VM, both offices. My voice was wavering trying not to cry, but I called. Also, if folks don't already know I am told it is important to leave your name and address, I presume so they know it is someone in their state? Might want to add that when asking people to call.

I know I am preaching to the choir, but I am so heartbroken that we can't provide even a small amount of aid to vulnerable people. I mean, they are going to incinerate food meant for starving children rather than allowing it to be distributed.

Even if the USA had to cut USAID they could have done it in a manner that allowed others to help fill some of the gap or to distribute what we'd already bought and paid for. The cruelty is beyond belief. It makes me want to believe in heaven and hell, just because these asshats deserve the lowest level of hell for eternity for what they are doing. It's so unnecessary.

Of course effing Katie Britt is on the thumbnail. She is evil. So embarrassed of the senators from my state.

Ok, just getting to you bringing up Katie Britt. I will call. Again. I will email. Again. That bitch won't do anything that doesn't serve her personally. But I will do what I can which isn't nearly enough.

Tim, You omitted a word when describing the GOP - messaging. It’s the pro-life messaging party, the Christian messaging party.

Tim, I get the anger. I really do but cruelty is the brand for these people. They aren’t Christian. They aren’t conservative. They’re cruel. They’re radical.

For an empathic party? For a pro-life party? Who are you talking about? Certainly not the Republican Party, which has exhibited only open hostility toward poor people generally, and poor dark people even more so. Prolife? Empathic? Lamentably, that’s not anyone in the Republican Party.

The parasite class are the 183 American billionaires and the three branches of government they have bought and paid for. Thanks Citizens United.

Billionaires live off the blood sweat and tears of the working class. They need to be reminded.

Scott Galloway (May be getting the exact wording wrong), "America is essentially ok with 90% of Americans being nutrition for the top 10%."

I started adding Marxism to my lectures on Texas & American government. My mostly low income Hispanic students at a community college in Houston need to know labor theory just as much as separation of powers.

Given that Trump is all about grievance and retribution, maybe he feels like he's helping out Jon Voight by getting back at an organization his estranged daughter (Angelina Jolie) long supported and represented as well as an organization that other celebrities, who do not support him, have represented. That's very on brand and on point for him.
