There is absolutely nothing to celebrate. She's just as murderous as Maduro, encouraging and working with the Trump Admin to murder innocent people to set the stage for a bloody, neo-colonial takeover. One evil for another evil.

I keep thinking about how terrible it is that so many people will be losing their health insurance in January due to costs and cuts. I was rejected from insurance once before the ACA [preexisting conditions]. I was hospitalized that year and it almost bankrupted me. We need universal heathcare ASAP.
