Dec 10

talking about cutting SS, cutting back on healthcare. Doing away with disability for adults and programs for children who need safety nets for neurological or heath issues People who have been selected to be in charge are talking about making cutbacks on everything. We are told that the cuts they want are going to cause us pain but it will be better in the long run. For who? Women are facing threats daily, women are dying because they can't get life saving healthcare and the list goes on and on and the fucking threats from these fucking smug ass billionaires just fucking go on and on. Revenge, retribution. Fuck

I don't need these fucking politicians telling me that some poor rat fucking CEO rates more concern and sympathy than the people who have voted for them do and we should STFU and be nice.

I'm past that bullshit. Maybe they ought to pay attention to what we are fucking going through before they decide to take us to task.

I don't have one fuck to give because some asshole got killed. Fuck him.
