Protesters outside the Indianapolis capitol erupted into chants of, “Quiet, Piggy!” after the Republican legislators refused to vote for Trump’s gerrymandered redistricting map.

Anyone surprised? Even in the face of tragedy and pain, people like this sick fuck show you exactly who they are. Trump has always been a demon from hell so today is no different. Even his supporters are not with this post.

I am devastated to learn of the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife. "Defending My Life" has always been my go-to answer for my favorite film. Conquering fear is the best way to approach existence, it changed who i am. I know they won't need to look at any days, they're moving right on ahead.

So that’s how the felon rapist responds to the murder of innocent people.

'Things can happen.' Trump responds to Brown University shooting.

There’s no way the demented felon rapist could compose and post that many deranged messages in that period of time.

Every time a Trump voter you know complains about one of the countless horrors being unleashed on the American people, simply say "You did that," and wait. They will say "I didn't vote for that" or some such reply, but the fact is they did. They knew who he was, but now it's hurting them.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

Is it true the US government has taxed the American people 18 trillion dollars? Trump just said it.

The felon rapist is so demented he’s not capable of concocting all the insane policies and actions his evil administration is spewing. So who’s actually calling the shots?
Trump is not running anything. He is not a well man. I believe those running things are propping him up with anything they can to consolidate power. What a scary time in history.

Trump and his Republicans took $1 trillion out of benefit programs and transferred it all to the wealthy who already had more money than they could spend. The Republican Party does NOT now and NEVER has represented ordinary Americans.

Once fair elections are gone, the only way to regain democracy will be war, either an underground insurgency or full blown armed warfare. I see no other alternative. The founders understood the price paid for freedom, too bad most Americans forgot.

If the vast vast majority of Americans want reasonable gun controls and they can't get passed by the Congress then our democracy is broken. Or to be more accurate, it has been corrupted. The consciences and reason of our DC leaders have been purchased...for a pittance. Stop the $$ to stop the guns.
