When Do We Start Paying Attention?

Dear #trumpsupporters Not that I think this will matter to you, but there is no #bordercrisis. It's #fakenews. The Orange Don is using your #bigotry against you so that you don't pay attention to how much you are being screwed. Sincerely, @madsociologist

This is the difference between @thedemocrats and the @gop. If Northam were a #republican the #rightwing FoxNoise propaganda machine would be contorting itself into a frenzy to make everyone else look bad.

What's dumber than spending billions to build a useless wall at the southern border? Holding the government hostage until it releases enough money to build a quarter of a useless wall at the southern border. Let's not forget that $5 billion is not enough to build "The Wall." It's just enough to build less than a quarter of it. #nowall

From the @nytimes @charlesmblow He's absolutely right. The Washington Post literally had to add a new category of lie to accommodate the #trumpadministration's insistance on sticking to their discredited "alternative facts."

So, you have a pre-existing condition? Subsidies from an exchange? Qualify for expanded Medaid coverage? Maybe you finally enjoy coverage for a condition that was never covered before. Enjoy it while it lasts. An federal court just struck down Obamacare. This ruling will almost certainly be upheld by the Gorsuch/Kavanaugh court.

I'm sorry. I just don't see the value of entering into debate wih the #rightwing anymore. Common ground? Finding compromise? No.
