Police literally drag people away from McConnell's office as protests break out over GOP bill

As Mitch McConnell finally surfaces to reveal a “healthcare” bill that rewards the wealthy with tax breaks and promises to kill even more Americans than the “mean” bill from the House, Americans affected by this kill-the-poor bill have gathered around his DC office. But they’re not staying long.

Police are literally dragging people away, including those who are disabled or in wheelchairs, leaving the hall of the Senate offices streaked with blood.

Consider this a portent of the injuries that Americans will suffer if this hateful bill becomes law.

And just like that, the halls were emptied again, as elderly and disabled Americans were arrested and dragged away for protesting a bill that threatens their lives

It's time for mass protests like the one on 1-21-17.

 Violent protestors being arrested, good. Liberals support that evidently.

I love it. Look at all the takers crying as we pull them from the nipple and dial back the socialism.

I am not for cutting Medicaid, but I am, also, against these people who have nothing else to do, but to lie on the floor and get dragged off like animals. 

Saw this video on MSN and the police were not inappropriate at all.  If there was "blood on the floor" (what an exaggeration) it was, probably, caused by themselves. 

The elderly ones there and those in wheelchairs will certainly not be cut from Medicaid supplement.  Rather than jumping to the wrong conclusion why don't they ask first before following whatever they hear on TV?

Well , a lot of them have other things to do. For example, they could go down to the Castro , knock down a few cold bears-- and beat up a bunch of pixels!!!

These fuckers are going to be dropping like rotten eggs from a basket....

hmmmmm.....basket.......rotten eggs.....what's that remind me of -   Oh right!  Basket of Deplorables

The more Trump and the Republicans kill them off the less base they'll have voting for them.  

Please, please, please, please , please PASS THIS BILL!!!!!  hahahahahahahaha

Sorta like their big wins-- a total sweep of 4 in recent elections....???

Democrats tried an inoffensive moderate message in Georgia. They ran a  banjo-strumming populist in Montana . They called in the cavalry in South Carolina and tried to catch their foe sleeping through a long-shot in Kansas.

None of it worked.

In the special elections for House seats vacated by Republicans who wound up in President Donald Trump's Cabinet, Democrats went 0-for-4.

Jon Ossoff's loss Tuesday night  in a hyper-competitive Georgia race -- the most expensive in history -- "better be a wake up call for Democrats,"  tweeted  Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, an emerging Democratic leader.
