they're not even pretending any more....

To the surprise of nobody paying attention, senators who received very large checks from the NRA over the past year or so just voted against tightening the existing gun control laws, despite 14 people murdered yesterday, despite the appalling number of gun-related murders every single day in this country, despite popular and repeated calls for those laws to be tightened.

Oh, and the Senate just voted to defund Planned Parenthood again, too. And they're aiming at the ACA (again), despite the fact that it's a) working and b) certified legal by SCOTUS.

So. More guns, less health care, is that what they're saying?

Oh, wait, right. Just less actual health care for people who are middle class or below. But we can kill each other off, that's okay.

The Hunger Games, like The Handmaid's Tale, was not supposed to be a fucking MANUAL.

(Obama can and will veto the defunding. But this is what awaits us if the GOP takes the White House in 2016. And all you conservatives earning under 100,000/year? Or, god forbid, underemployed, or actually unemployed? You're going to be fucked over just as badly as the liberals. Don't kid yourself that you're going to get the golden key to the Well-To-Do Club just because you voted for them.)
