Portia B. can be heard saying words along the lines (NOT A COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT) for Moveon.org.
Mr. Ryan and Mr. McConnell,
“Do you think Appalachian women like me with steel in our backbones will yield…You are kidding yourselves…Did you, self professed Christians not learn about Isaiah, Chapter 10…Woe to those who make unjust laws; to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless”…
“Last night the Senate voted to rob the working middle class/ poor, the elderly, our children, students and veterans…to further enrich the filthy rich and large corporations. These so-called Christians…worship at the ALTER of money and power and they hold tight to the philosophy of Ayn Rand….In fact they kneel/ bend their knees and kiss the ring of the Koch Brothers and other billionaire donors who are hell bent on smashing the 99%.”
Every republican in the White House and the US Congress should be required to listen to this Appalachian Grandma shred to smithereens all of their phony justifications regarding their 2017 Donor Relief Act/ planned 2017 tax cuts for the rich.
This is the best comeback ever to all of the republicans’ talking points regarding their coveted 2017 tax cuts plans designed to appease their donors.
I have been repeatedly tweeting the following cliff notes quip based on Tax Policy Center’s numbers. “The biggest US middle/poor tax increase $4.5 trillion pays for largest Donor class tax cut $6 trillion=net $1.5 trillion to add to US deficit.

Dear Horty,
The republicans don’t see it coming. But I’ll get a better read when I learn the December 12, 2017 Alabama election results which is this coming Tuesday.

I am from Canada but very interested and concerned about what is happening to the USA. What the Trump administration and the Republican party are doing to America affects Canada and every country in the world, we all have something at stake. Thank you for helping us understand and keep up the good work. It must take a lot out of you because your posts are very well researched and presented, take care of yourself but remember it will be people like you who will help bring this nightmare to an end.

Dear Louise Fowler,
WELCOME!
We are living in a realty TV nightmare of a show. The republican party members in the White House and in the US Congress are acting in a way that I could never have imagined. It is frightening as to how quickly norms and decency have devolved to “animal house” type values under the leadership of President Trump.
This will end. In their hubris, these same republicans will tie the noose around their own necks and hang themselves in ignominy.
What will tell me that my instincts are right, will be if a democratic party candidate Doug Jones wins the Alabama Senate seat on Dec. 12 against the republican party contender Judge Roy Moore who is an alleged pedophile based on credible reporting. Alabama is the Evangelical capitol of the USA which makes it a very conservative leaning state where many republicans would rather vote for a pedophile than a democrat.
Thank you for your gracious words of encouragement.
Hugs, Gronda

My pleasure to follow you Gronda and although I don’t do much with my word press site these days I do work my google page and often reblog you posts there. I am very concerned about the Alabama race and will repost anything I can to help the cause of destroying this cancer that is growing under Trump administration and hope you are right about what will happen vis-a-vis the republicans. Thanks for your response. Best to you. Louise
