I hope we can avoid ostracizing those who express concern that the bill might pass, and figure out how to keep it from passing.

Our only hope is that the Senate will become lighter, minus a few nembers in a federal penitentiary. Starting with a certain blk haired, blue eyed smiling Irish snake.

And his little Mcconnell dog, too.

as long as we weren't complacent, voted for the Democratic nominee, and didn't pay attention to the rightwing distractions!

And then what happened?

If we say the Senate won't pass this - and then tell everyone how to RESIST - will they listen this time?

Don't take the posts on a message board as an absolute or as gospel. We all of us have predictions, guesses, analyses, etc that may or may not be accurate. No one can read the future, and if you believe they can, that's on you.

They just passed a "Show me your papers" law in Texas.
The worst law in Texas if I can recall, violation of Fourth Amendment.

It feels like Nov 9th all over again.

I am scared shitless.

The merciless republicans are out for the blood of the working class.

Trump is their instrument of death and destruction.

Now, what kind of a nightmare they're going to cobble together is another story. But they're not going to even get to it until June.
