BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Securitys losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

(5,042 posts)I am wondering, maybe revolution will come from the poor. The middle class worries because we have so much to lose. The poor, they have nothing to lose because they have nothing.
Not sure what will happen, but I suspect that both the middle and poor are starting to put their sights on the Oligarchs.
And, what the hell, Trump getting a 400 million dollar jet and that is legal, why do we even pretend we are a Republic anymore.
