Time to take back congress begins now...sitting around wringing our hands is of no use.... [View all]

trump is playing right out of the Heritage Foundation Playbook...and this is only just started as they have only touch on a fraction of the "change" for america...considering 55% of voters voted against all of this....2018 is coming.....democrats must be ready to take back congress AT ALL COST....and the more conservatives do to destroy america and negatively impact american workers, families...the greater the price they will pay come 2018....no more excuses for not voting...WE outnumber THEM...time to take the fight to the state and local elections. Hopefully we have the liberal versions of the Koch Brothers to start funding the offense. We have to do what we can to survive. That may take some doing as Israel looking for a nudge to start war with Iran with suckering trump and his idiots in....the downside risk is pretty much brinks on nuclear annihilation....much to the joy of the christian evangelical zealots
