      This is good news for France. They spared themselves a far right wing reign of terror like we’re having here in the US.

      Tell me another country in the world that allows monuments to the losers of a civil war. A monument to Jefferson Davis, president of the f***ing Confederacy? For crying out loud.

    The Republican using the F-word, Martha McSally, is from AZ CD2 (my district) which went for Clinton in 2016. Too bad there isn’t a video.

    ‘Let’s get this f—– thing done!’: Republicans used ‘Rocky,’ Gen. Patton to pump themselves up for the healthcare vote

    Republicans got ready for the healthcare vote with the help of “Rocky” and Gen. George S. Patton.

    The Hill’s Scott Wong, Peter Sullivan, and Jessie Hellmann reported that Republicans held a meeting Thursday morning to prepare for the vote on the American Health Care Act.

    House GOP leadership played the “Rocky” theme song for the Republican conference, and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy read quotes from Patton in front of an image of the famed World War II hero, according to the report.

    McCarthy, speaking to CNN, confirmed that he did use some quotes from Patton in a meeting with members.

    The Hill, citing sources in the room, also said that Rep. Martha McSally implored members to vote “yes” for the bill.

    “Let’s get this f—ing thing done!” McSally said, according to the report.

        This is what she told me…

        I have been upset about the state of our country since Trump got in, I am very tired of these Republicans, just disgusted, so I thought starting at the bottom with this city couldn’t hurt. Do you ever read the editor’s part of the local paper? So against President Obama still today! This Town needs a change.

        Well, your cousin is the kind of person who means what she says. Getting elected to City Council is pretty awesome. We have to take the power back and everywhere we take it counts, at every level of government.

      Amazing. The thing that concerns me is that the blonde woman really does have have some loose wires in her head and these days you never know if someone like this will pull out a gun. Getting her on a video that shows her face is good.

      They need to invent a cell phone / taser combination device so you can video bullies but tase them if they become physically aggressive.

        I did. I watched it a couple of times. In this case, the whole incident appears to be that a fat racist bitch with a big mouth thought she could amuse herself by harassing a Muslim woman. She expected the woman to hang her head and take it. She certainly didn’t expect a video of herself to go viral. I hope she sees it.

        It does concern me that you can’t look at one of these heifers and know whether or not they’re sick enough to go to the next level which is physical assault.

        I can’t believe this was at Trader Joe’s.

    May 6 Berkshire Hathaway Inc Chairman Warren Buffett on Saturday fumed that healthcare costs are eating away at the U.S. economy like “tapeworm” and said the Republican approach to overhaul Obamacare is a tax cut for the rich.

    The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly approved a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, a victory for Republican President Donald Trump who has called the 2010 law a “disaster.”

    Speaking at Berkshire’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Buffett said his federal income taxes last year would have gone down 17 percent had the new law been in effect.

    “So it is a huge tax cut for guys like me,” he said. “And when there’s a tax cut, either the deficit goes up or they get the taxes from somebody else.”
