Trump Watch May 13 2017

Day 114:

The American people are not just angry, they are ENRAGED.

This man sums up exactly what the american people are feeling.  In 11 minutes he manages to convincingly argue against the last 4 decades of dominate political thought.  It really is that simple, the rich are fucking us over for money, they don’t give two shits if we die, and the only want to make sure they feel our rage is to vote them out of office.  And not just the republicans, who to a person must go, but the vast majority of the national democrats are going to have to be replaces as well.  The big money interests have purchased most of both sides, and a good cleaning out is in order.
