6. I have to agree with this sentence:

They just love to hurt people.
The only thing I'd change is to make the sentiment stronger.

I wonder what they'll do when the people they're hurting have it up to "here" with their changes. The biggest fervor over many of the changes made was when they did actually "touch" Social Security. To have the oldest of those recipients die, en masse, on their watch because of their changes... or put the entire next generation younger than that in mortal danger because they ceased sending the checks for whatever reason... not to say the least about the next generation younger than us "young" boomers, who have paid in all their working lives and now are seeing their money wrenched out of the system to be given over to private contractors with no regulations on them... well, I wonder how they'll like being hurt by the people that they hurt. Because in addition to these "elders" there are going to be a lot of sons and daughters and grand-relatives who are suddenly cast into the mold of constant caregivers because trump "didn't touch" social security. That's going to be a lot of anger and violent thought to corral. I don't know about you, but I'll attempt a beatdown of anyone who hurts anybody I love. I get angry at the pain inflicted needlessly on anyone... thinking about the immigrants in the El Salvador prison, for example. But to get me riled to the point of actually hitting someone takes doing something to my family members. I think most of humans are wired this way. By this point, *maybe* trump will finally realize he grabbed the damned leopard by the tail and it's eating HIS face!
