Republicans haven’t stopped celebrating the fact that they screwed the American people, without foreplay, and gave huge gifts to large corporations and the super rich. They are sealing their own fate in November 2018. However, they did mark one thing off of their bucket list.

Republicans are returning to Washington today to do nothing with the exception of slapping each other on the back. When they do begin the pretense of ‘working,’ their focus will be the working class and low-income Americans. You are the target. They want to reduce necessary services and cut all programs beneficial to the majority. More money for Trump and his wealthy associates. At the same time they will raise the Pentagon’s budget; knowing that they waste 50 cents out of every dollar they receive, and there is absolutely no accountability.

There has never been a more farcical slogan for a campaign than “make American great again.” Trump is making our nation worse as he attempts to “make America white again.” The United States is becoming the worst nation in the developed world. War and money have replaced any intent of caring for the needs and wishes of the majority. Americans work longer hours for less money and zero or minimum benefits than any other nation in the free world. The working class is not protected by its government; we are not guaranteed paid vacations, paid family leave, or healthcare.

Not only has America refused to be a great country because of its failure to place people first and end racism and bigotry, under Trump’s failed leadership we are slipping towards the bottom rung on the ladder.

Republican’s plans to cut services for the majority are necessary to pay for their enormous cuts in taxes for major corporations and the one-percent.

Welcome to Trump’s America, and be sure and thank your Republican Congressmen and Senators for raping you.

Please re-post; thank you.
