at this point i'd be amazed if the democrats didn't LOSE seats. what a world where the repugnicants are evil but cleverly apt while the democrats are decent but inept.

Trump promises 10% tax cut if GOP wins House & Senate
http://fortune.com/2018/10/22/trump-10- ... -election/

say bye bye to social security, medicare, Medicaid, any social services at all, for the 99%.

we are at or near the limit of the practicalness of doing this. we've kicked the can as far as it can be kicked. and the GOP knows this, this is their plan to force elimination of social programs so that enough of us can starve or die of untreated sickness to satisfy their pathologically megalomaniacal need to be superior beings by getting rid of wholesale quantities of the rest of us.

The Democrats kicked it down the road too and they were the first to take money from social security to spend on other stuff.[/quote]
the democrats are not the ones recklessly trying to bankrupt the nation simply to enrich themselves at the expense of the 99% while the GOP demonstrably and by their own admission are doing just that. ever research the phrase "starving the beast"? why continue to slavishly defend a party that really does NOT have your best interests at heart?

I know which party gave me health care and which party refused to consider it for the better part of a century. I know which party gave me [in theory at least] social security and the 40 hour week. it was not the GOP. my eyes are open. i'm wondering about your eyes, which views everything through the prism of illusory gun rights which the GOP will surely take away at a time of their choosing.

if the GOP have their way, we would emulate soviet Russia in this regard. we routinely [via quasi-legal artifice] press-ganged black folk in the south leading up to WW2 ("slavery by another name"). IMHO this is morally bankrupt at the very least. the people spouting "constitution this" and "constitution that"* who also espouse this revival of slavery are hypocrites.

*Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

It's Worth Noting for anyone with
A Special Interest all Consuming About
Guns in this Thread; that if Republicans
in the Fashion of the 'Mob' in Charge now
Are Ever Successful in the Kind of Gun Control these
Republicans now in Charge at Highest Levels Believe in
Most (Namely Trump for Now) those who Lose all Gun
Rights will be those assessed with Mental Disorders of
Which yes; Asperger's Will Definitely Be among those Assessed
Mental Disorders by Classification of DSM 5 too; So, Perhaps if
one really has an all
Encompassing Special
Interest about Guns
As that may Erase
Some Anxiety
of the
Fear of one
Getting Beat up or Robbed, etc.;
I suggest a New Special Interest
Like Free Style Martial Arts; Not that
You'll have to ever use it to Fight; but that
it will help you Regulate Your Emotions and
Integrate Your Senses and Better Help you to
Cure most all of Your Anxiety now; as it is True;
Even In Modern Psychology and Therapy for Autism
too That Movement Therapy as That is Applicable to
Martial Arts and even Free Style Dance will help too;
Taking A Core Issue of Emotional Dysregulation and
Sensory Disintegration And Remedying those Issues
Where one might even take on another Special
Interest like Writing Poetry or Something
Like That; once one's Emotions/Senses
Are More Fully Alive and Well Integrated
Within; anyway,
if i had ever collected
Guns, I would be Dead now
As There are certain Conditions that
Arise in Life with no Prediction like Type
Two Trigeminal Neuralgia that is Like a Dentist
Drill in Your Eye and Ear, at least in my Case Study
Disorder of that Condition that is a Pain Like that
Without Novocaine As No Drug That Will touch that
Pain then; It is called the Suicide Disease Still for 'Good'
Reason; And Again some folks Kill it and Their Selves with
the Guns they have at Hand that are Easily Accessible when
Hell Comes as Pain as a Real Life Scenario Unpredicted now; but
anyway; the most that Democrats will do is take away your Assault
Weapon Style Guns; Generally Speaking, Democrats Do Support the
Constitution for ALL Folks; including Folks Assessed with Mental Disorders too.
But it's True; for Whatever Reason as far as Ignorance Goes; some Folks Vote in the
Folks that in the Long Run Hurt them the most; And that is Human Nature too; Choosing
One Side and Staying With It to the Bitter End if Necessary as the Death of Life in All the Ways That Comes as Living too.
