If Sen. Franken on Rachel just now didn't make you boiling mad...

...nothing will.

He talked about what we already know...17% of America supports TrumpCare, and even his "base" knows that they will either lose their healthcare or will pay substantially more for it.

"The exact opposite of what Trump promised on the campaign trail."

He sounded, and appeared to be, tired bordering on exhaustion.

As are we all.

Maybe it won't be Russia that brings Trump down after all.

Maybe it will be this.

since it's such a mess. If Americans hated Congress before all of this, imagine how popular they are now. At least he used one new vocab word that I just learned this week while I doing my homework to call senators 55 times...."parliamentarian". I am getting many civics lessons this year.
