...you might want to take measures to make certain those are protected or still available.

I don't understand, 'time to roll over..." but I do know that many people are expecting something like the last one, and this is something more sinister and devastating, I believe.

It's another one of those cases where people who have means will weather this, and vulnerable people will likely suffer, and I suspect that's the dividing line between those expressing concern tonight and those cheering this on like the party out of power has some magic way to make this work in our favor.

This is a shitpile Trump's steered us into, and we're going to be forced to swim in it.
