"so that when these people totally screw up our country, as did George W. Bush, we can remind the American people in the next election who was really looking out for their interests." Uh-huh. And who would that be?
With that reservation, I approve of the following e-mail:
We will continue to speak the truth, no matter how many abusive, foul mouthed, right wing trolls tell us to shut up. If you appreciate the integrity of these messages, please consider making a valiant contribution, and you can even make it recurrent by checking the box for that. Donations: https://www.utalk.us/?p=donate Frankly, we have serious doubts whether the two Republicans who voted against Betsy DeVos yesterday would have done so if the vote had been closer, which is to say if their votes actually counted. They could afford to lose 2 votes and they used both of them, as a sop to their constituents in those states, like oh sure, we're on your side. DeVos and her husband have an interest in a student debt collection company. Is that supposed to be her qualification to be secretary of education? DeVos is so patently unqualified, only a combination of lots of corrupt campaign contributions and utter shamelessness could have supported a vote for her. So now we have yet another oligarch confirmed who is in fact hostile to the presumed mission of the agency they are supposed to lead. Expect lots more money for PRIVATE interest charter schools, which she had strongly and publicly supported, and a collapse of our vital public education infrastructure. Our candid assessment was that none of these people could be stopped without Republican opposition. And it is obvious that on the question of these nominations it is circle the wagons time against constituent protests in Washington. This in no way relieves us of our obligation to keep speaking out. If anything it heightens our obligation. We need to lay down these markers so that when these people totally screw up our country, as did George W. Bush, we can remind the American people in the next election who was really looking out for their interests. And hopefully people will not forget again. Because the fact is that all the populist rhetoric still coming out of Trump's mouth as just as big a fraud as his defunct university. He said he would fight for the people. Instead he is doing the bidding of his fellow oligarchs in every respect. He said he would keep us from starting reckless and foolish wars, and the first thing he does is go out of his way to make military threats, which can only be backed up with unilateral military action. Yes, friends, the big fraud of this administration is just beginning to get cranking. The big lies about every thing both small and large are just beginning to get rolling. He even tried to take credit for the most recent good jobs report which he had nothing to do with.

When they knew it would be vetoed there was not a day in the week they did not vote to repeal it. Now that they have the votes and the presidential pen to actually do it, suddenly they are not interested in having that vote anymore, not even to bring up again the bills they passed so many times before. See "if their vote actually counted" above. Now, here's the interesting part. If the Republicans do not replace Obamacare with something better as they promised, as Obamacare continues to collapse, as it will, the American people will start to blame the Republicans, not the Democrats. But the only way to maximize the effect is for us to speak out to demand something actually better, Medicare for All.
