Fuck the republicans:

We Will Throw This Health Care Bill in the Garbage

Mr. President, I have some bad news for you. This pathetic health care bill is not getting through the Senate. We will throw this in the garbage and start from zero.

Posted by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday, June 21, 2017

What do you call a group of people who want to give massive tax cuts to people who are already rich, and want to “pay” for it by stealing health care away from 24 million + poor people.  Potentially killing tens of thousands of them in the process, while destroying the financial lives of hundreds of thousands more.  I would call that some pretty evil shit.  I would say that is right up there with a war crime, or a death squad or a terrorist attack.  What in the fuck do the republicans think is going to happen?  They are going to toss tens of millions of people out on the street and just think that they will keep their jobs?  This is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen.  It also happens to be the meanest.

This isn’t a health care bill, its a tax cut for the rich, paid for by killing the poor (or allowing them to die from lack of health care, but frankly I can’t see the difference)

Now is absolutely the time to get on the phone and call up your senators and tell them that under no circumstances should they vote for this piece of shit bill.
