They couldn’t pass Trumpcare so they’ve instead quietly gone for a bill to sell all your private browsing history for profit.

I just happened to come across this today.

Haven’t had a chance to vet it yet but it seems to be a way to give some money to charity by providing your (anonymous) Amazon history for sale. It’s gonna be sold anyway, so why not?

The point is that because Republicans in Congress suck, you’re not gonna have a choice about your data being sold. Your shopping history will be given away and sold whether you like it or not. So maybe you let a little of that money go to charity instead of Verizon or whatever other company the Republicans in Congress are letting it go to.

For the love of all that is holy, how is it that Jetrell Fo makes me sympathize with the liberals in this thread every time he gets into a debate with them?

LOL

I already give to charity yearly. I think it is important especially if you can find one that does exactly what it says it will do with my donation. I donate directly to Dry Hootch (Veteran’s in need of Assistance) which is close to my home. My daughter and I also donate to Operation Gratitude when we can which also helps veterans, first responders, service members overseas, and such. I see no reason for Congress to allow this to happen and I will gladly write my Representatives to oppose it’s passing.

Hey now, I cannot control what or who you believe, only you have that choice. LOL If the Democrats had stayed in the Center, like they were before Bill Clinton, I would have voted for them. They are too far right for my liking.

Can’t believe you guys are still arguing with Jetrell.
I have to admit, there is a certain genius to defending Trump’s outlandish statements by saying that he has freedom of speech. Even Spicer hadn’t thought to use that one.

I thought we were discussing not arguing but okay. As for Mr. Spicer, he has stated that exact same thing during press briefings. Which ones are you watching? LOL

I suppose a member of Congress should not call the President “evil” lightly, but I suppose he hasn’t done it lightly, and that he also would seem to have a point.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/325783-dem-senator-to-trump-you-truly-are-an-evil-man

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) called President Trump an “evil man” on Saturday over his claims that ObamaCare will explode.

“‘President’ Donald Trump: You truly are an evil man. Your job is to help Americans. Not intentionally try to destroy their lives,” Lieu, a vocal Trump critic, wrote on Twitter.

The tweet was in response to Trump tweeting earlier in the day that “ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!”

Lieu quote tweeted Trump a second time, saying that should he subvert ObamaCare, he would be violating his oath as president to “faithfully execute laws passed by Congress.”

Of course, they’ve been trying to subvert Obamacare the whole time, including pulling advertisements for it.

I don’t want Obamacare repealed, I want it fixed. I want it to provide everything it was promised to provide but hasn’t.

Maybe we should make “LOL” against the rules if it’s fake news? I mean why would we want people to actually think we are not being personally shitty when we’re making comments in discussions? I mean that’s downright ludicrous, right?

How so?

People not losing their choice of doctors, none of this penalty crap, premiums and good care being affordable and available for everyone. If it is going to get repealed they NEED to take care of the premiums and penalty issues in the first phase. Prescription prices also need to be brought back to the people so folks can afford to take care of themselves instead of dying alone because they can’t get the medication that helps them survive.

I hope somebody is studying this level of detachment from reality. It’s fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

Where were you in '77?

I’m glad the AHCA failed miserably; I still think the Republican party are just a bunch of subhuman scum that doesn’t deserve to live, but then that’s just my frustration blowing off steam.

Sadly, 99% of these assholes will either lose their primaries to even more extreme right-wing nutjobs, or be reelected by a landslide thanks to gerrymandering.

The Democrats are delusional if they think they can win back Congress in 2018, because the system has been rigged against them for the next few decades, and they lack the intelligence to avoid political extinction.

I don’t think you can excuse calling for genocide by saying you’re “just blowing off steam.”

$15.00 a year going to charity for you to share information that could not possibly hurt you with people who do not know you nor will ever meet you, fuck that, LOL.

Republicans hate every single human being that isn’t white, male, straight, christian, and/or unborn. They have done everything in their power to shove their delusional vision of America down our throats, even when 90% of the country opposes their policies. They believe the wealthiest of the wealthy should be protected from taxation at any cost, even if 24 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE to achieve that goal. They are infinitely worse than every single evil political party that has ever existed in the last 100 years. They are beyond dangerous, and they are headed by one of the most evil men in history, Donald Trump.

All republicans are clinical sociopaths. They do not deserve any fucking sympathy. We are in the worst period in human history and it’s all their fault.
