healthcare bill will not really suck for people until after the next Congressional election.....gee, I wonder why that is?

 WW III will be in full play by then and people will be focused on other things? [and yes, Ryan and the rest of the ghouls will survive the midterms...]

The thing that I like best about this is that he's got blood globs where his arms once were.  Creative use of a what looks to be like a flower piece.

The worst terrorist attack on the us came from the air. The coast guard is critical to stopping drug trafficking. To build a wall, they will cut both their budgets. Do they listen to themselves talk?

Every day is a greater exercise in The Stupid for this bunch.

My right-wing social media brethren have been somewhat silent with the memes lately. I will take that as a good sign, of fatigue from defending this guy, or even better that they are wanting to put some distance between themselves and what he stands for.

You gotta get yourself some new brethren.

The push by Trump and the GOP congress to repeal the ACA is really bringing out the best in some  people... The effects of this election are going to be felt in many ways for a long, long time.

 

I think even Jesus would slug this guy:

 

Representative Roger Marshall is a Kansas Republican, a former obstetrician, and a first-year member of Congress, and opponent of the Affordable Care Act. In an interview with Stat, Marshall draws upon his medical experience to explain why the law’s expansion of Medicaid is a bad thing. It is quite an interesting explanation:

 

“Just like Jesus said, ‘The poor will always be with us,’” he said. “There is a group of people that just don’t want health care and aren’t going to take care of themselves …

I really don't think these "Christians" will be happy if there really is a Hell.

Just as long as the heathens are there with them, they will take smug satisfaction at being correct on that count.

Damn it, if we could just get rid of all those bloody poor people, all problems would be solved.

That seems to be the plan. Kick 'em out or let 'em die.

Can't we just deport 'em? Maybe wall them in somewhere?

But they get no birth control and get forced births, gotta have someone to lock up and fight on the front-lines in all the wars we'll be winning.

There's a term for that - it is called a ghetto.

Or concentration camp.

I'm encouraged that there appears to be widespread, across many political lines, opposition to the Republican plan on healthcare.  Those divides could be the start of something productive in putting the Republicans out of power.

 

Or concentration camp.

Yeah, I have used that term for Ghetto many times on this site. I guess this was one of my sunshine type of days.

Hey...Jon Huntsman as ambassador to Russia?

 

I might be able to count that as not just "not stupid" but a rare "good" decision!

Mine grow fewer and further between these days. I hate that.

I think more smart than good.  It at least shows some willingness to acknowledge the Russia problem and counter with a face who is both sober and capable. 

 

But why does Huntsman want the job?  It just seems curious is all.  Let's hope he can do good.

I would describe anything this organization does that can be labeled "smart" as good.  We need to have a low threshold at this point.

 

As for Huntsman, maybe he sees it as a chance to be a much-needed buffer?  Or to be in perhaps the most key position available to have influence over our issues with Russia?

 

I hate to make it seem like he's a white knight of some kind, but that's the best I have.  

This is not a quote from Paul Ryan on the proposed health care replacement, but I am sure Ryan, Trump, Pence etc. will take these words to heart.

 

 

“There is no mercy in a system that makes health care a luxury ... This is not an act of mercy; this is an act of malice,”

If the economy is still as is and the Administration can avoid an outside crisis (or handle it acceptably), the mid-terms will be a rock fight.

 

If the economy turns or there is a bad response to a crisis, it will be a landslide.
