Blanche is covering-up for the pedophile and rapist-in-chief in the White House. Republicans in Congress know this and do nothing. When they might do something, Johnson sends them all home (and we don't hear a squeak). They all need to be voted out.

They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.

There is no significant voter fraud. What has been found is overwhelmingly Republican. What is really going on is that people trying to undermine the choice of the people are trying to fill Americans w/ fear, cynicism, bigotry, anger, doubt,... This is intended to undermine our nation.

Trump is a pedophile and rapist. Blanche is currently demonstrating that his henchmen will openly violate the law to cover-up for their orange-tinted false god. How far will they go? How far have they gone? www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Trump's Gestapo: armed, masked, poorly-trained, often violent agents giving piles of cash by Republicans in Congress. Very few of the arrested have any criminal record. They attack and kill citizens and immigrants. Republicans in Congress know this and do nothing. Remove them all.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

People are hungry while the rich get richer. The top 1% control 1/3 of all American wealth. Thomas Jefferson warned that this would destroy the nation, and Republicans are making it worse.
