We have had our voice taken away and our value diminished ever since coal companies have mined all of our resources, polluted our land, and left us to fend for welfare.
You DO realize that it is those very same lobbying groups and greedy corporations that WANT foreign criminals in this country, both to work for them, and to depress the wages of what Americans they employ, right? And that both establishment Democrats and Republicans are bought and paid for by them-and working for them and not the American people, right? Trump was one of the very few politicians, and the first president in 3 decades, to work for the American people and not for corporations. Why do you think major corporations are shutting down his voice on social media and attacking those that supported him?

There is nothing that will make Republicans of a certain ilk believe that the election was on the up-and-up. It's a conclusion that has been drawn with zero evidence to back it up.

Unreasonable people cannot be reasoned with.

I wish someone would reduce my taxes, pay my bills, try to give me cheaper healthcare and a secure retirement, even though I spend all my time telling everyone how horrible they are. That would be sweet. Maybe I should move to Alabama and get me some of that free federal money.

This is fake news.

NO ONE in the United States was indicted on "Russia Stuff." NO ONE.

Robert Mueller flatly said "There is no evidence of a broader conspiracy."

Robert Mueller also flatly said his failure to "indict" Donald Trump had nothing to do with the fact that he's president.

How do you people not know this?

But for 3 years that's all we heard. "What does Putin have on Trump?" "Is Trump working for the Kremlin?"

Etc. etc. etc.

You believed the lies. You believed hookers peed on his bed in Russia. You believed Michael Avenatti had information to take down Trump.

Wild conspiracy stuff became mainstream news for years.

People on the left rioted because they thought Trump stole the election.

But now you want to say "stop believing lies?"

Dems only have 222 seats. It won't be by that large a margin.

They are too stupid to know what will happen. But they may just find out.

There are A LOT of poor democrats in red states and rich republicans in blue states.

Have you checked the voting demographics lately?

in the low income brackets, democrats DOMINATE republicans. I mean by 10 points or more.

As one makes more and more money, one votes for republicans more and more.

Trump flattened that curve just a little, but this year like the past dozen or so presidential elections, the more money you make the more you vote republican.

So if you're going by which party makes more money, pays more taxes, and contributes more to their states' GDP, it's the republican party.

It won't be only Democrats. 3 Republicans so far, including Liz Cheney, have announced they support impeachment. They won't be the only ones
