You can't make this shit up, folks. If this doesn't bring out the pitchforks and torches, nothing will.
Republicans had a beer bash with the passage of Trumpcare in the House.
Oh, but wait...it gets better.

We often hear many tales of Helen Keller's exploits and accomplishments. But there is another side to her story that most have likely never heard (Because it goes against America's Horatio Alger narrative): She was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World.
From Why I Became an IWW
Debbie from Sane Progressive posted a 2 hour long rant which she soon deleted. From the half-hour I was able to catch before then it was obvious she was....tired. She wasn't the only one. Many other activists have thrown up their hands and quit because they feel like they have no way to fight back.
I don't want my hard earned money going toward healthcare for someone who doesn't take care of themselves.
I didn't know about this until I read an essay titled 'They're Coming for the Americans With Disabilities Act' written by a deaf poster on TOP. There are two bills currently going through the Repig controlled house to do this.
The first is HR 620 which was introduced by that dumb son of a bitch, Ted Poe of Texas:
I pledge allegiance, to the rag
Of the United Corporations of America
And to Wall Street, for which it stands
One trust, under the dollar
Unassailable
With liberty and justice for sale
Those of you who follow my mostly depressing blog know how I feel about the job market. Well, my mother-in-law finally understands my perspective. Her partner has been looking for a job that's more in line with her experience and is still currently working. Problem is, most postings are asking for qualifications that far outweigh the job itself.
It's easy to judge a person who has dealt with multiple disabilities their entire lives who isn't working as 'lazy'. It's what most people do. Even people with other disabilities, i.e. "I have ADD and I do just fine."
Funnily enough, even if I were working a McJob or was working as a greeter at Walmart (Many people with disabilities often work as greeters), these same individuals still wouldn't be satisfied.
Yup. You read that right. The corporate news outlets couldn't be happier with Trump in charge due to the fact that their ratings are through the roof.

Yeah, because nothing says 'Great Journalism' like covering Trump's empty podium 24 hours a day to black out Bernie Sanders during the primaries.
Yup. Second denial in 3 damn months. Apparently the only disabilities that are considered 'disabled enough under our rules' are blindness or death. It doesn't matter that I have medical records going back to childhood proving my disabilities, according to some fuckin' bureaucrat, my disabilities don't exist.
Guess it's time to lawyer up.
