Learning the hard way that governing is tough.

Image result for trump health care images   Let's be honest, there is no way that republicans will let trumpcare go down tomorrow. They have way too much invested in getting rid of the healthcare plan named after the black man.

Still, the fact that they are having such a hard time getting the votes to support this dreadful plan (a plan it took them seven years to perfect) says all you need to know about the dysfunction among these right-wingnuts in Washington.

In one corner you have the real conservatives, and in the other corner you have the moderates. In the middle you have Paul Ryan and the trump White House, whose concern is not for the health of the American people, but rather the political optics of their dreadful trumpcare rollout.

Trump and Ryan just want a win at this point. Any win. Why? Because in case you have been living on another planet, these first 60 days or so have been absolutely horrible for team trump and the republicans.

And what's scary is this: As Chris Hayes stated earlier, the White House does not know what's in the health care plan and he does not care. He just wants a win. Details be damned. Details, by the way, which are serious, and which have serious consequences for the lives of real people.

"Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie said Thursday that the Trump administration had not convinced him to change his vote on the bill to replace Obamacare, and said that he hoped it would sink in the House.

“I am still very much opposed to the bill,” Massie said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday. “I think it’s worse than Obamacare.” [Source]

Mr. Massie has changed his vote from No to HELL NO!

It's going to be a long night.

Massie knows the reality that a lot of people in his state, probably many in his district, depend on the ACA. This is the real danger of hearing only rightwing propaganda. If they knew what was really in the bill and what they would lose they would be trying to get all of their reps to kill it. Kentucky will be the most interesting to watch because Obamacare is working well there. The next few days are gonna be interesting.

You shitlibs hate Russia for doing nothing more than (maybe) releasing Democrats own words.

dinthebeast said...

Clueless. They don't know (or won't admit) the most basic fact about the ACA which is (one more time with feeling) a REPUBLICAN bill, thought up by Heritage as a "free market" alternative to the Clinton plan in the '90s, implemented by Romney, and the only thing that would pass in 2010, given the political climate (see also: conspiracy, Caucus Room) and as such, a much more complicated, less efficient plan than single payer, which is the only sane way to deal with reliably delivering a service that makes up a fifth of the economy.
So there is not, and never will be a Republican alternative healthcare bill, because 1) the ACA is that bill, and 2) the Republicans don't want to reform or provide healthcare. All they want to do is cause the ACA to either fail (it didn't) or go away, because they hate Obama and more importantly the continued success of the ACA refutes their bullshit ideology that government can't ever do anything right.
And the Republicans elected Trump to fully prove that point.
Except that it's bullshit. Any bright nine year old knows that much. All of their Randian free market castles in the sky are built on top of the infrastructure of the US government, and would not just come crashing down without it, but would never have existed in the first place.
But fuck those idiots and their greedy delusions. All you have to do to understand the current healthcare plans is stop listening to the endless bullshit and look at what they actually did.
The ACA was the product of more than a year of really hard work by a lot of smart people who actually cared about getting it right. It was pronounced dead more times than I can count, but the people working on it refused to give up, even after Scott Brown won his election and threw the whole process into chaos.
It's a big bill because there's a lot of things in it that deal with all of the problems as they saw them. Not everything worked, but a lot of it did, especially the cost cutting provisions that have dramatically slowed the growth of costs, arguably the second most important thing needed in healthcare reform, behind covering the uninsured.
The Republicans have not done jack shit in the seven years since, and every time they said they were "working on their replacement plan" they were lying. There. Is. No. Plan.
What they did was got together after the election, and like the dog that caught the bus, didn't know what the fuck to actually do. So they threw together a bunch of tax cuts and budget bombs that would be allowed under reconciliation in the senate and called it the AHCA. No research, no committee hearings with healthcare experts, no actual work. Just fraud. It can't be a healthcare bill because you can't pass a healthcare bill under reconciliation. It's a budgetary bill. That's what reconciliation is for. Nothing else.
Trump may or may not understand any of that. Probably he understands more than it seems, but what's the fucking difference between "can't understand" and "won't admit to understanding"?
Thanks Comey, I hope your balls drop off into your shoe and you step on them.

"Trump and Ryan just want a win at this point."

What an idiot you are.  Ryan was an anti-Trumper.  He a wholly-owned property of the US Chamber of Commerce, in which Soros has an interest.  He is the GOP Establishment through and through.

Trump is the total repudiation of the GOP(e), Soros and the USCOC.

Trump is using this failure to deliver a real repeal bill to strip Ryan of his pretensions of working with the POTUS.  The House will shortly vote for a new Speaker.  Ryan, humiliated and without significant influence, will be primaried out in 2018.


"Mr. Massie has changed his vote from No to HELL NO!"

Oh, wait... you never got beyond "Chutes and Ladders".  I forgot.  Sorry!


"These white Retardican SCUM will stop at nothing to destroy the legacy of a noble and courageous black man!"

If he'd just stayed in Kenya where he was born, we wouldn't be having any of these problems.

"So there is not, and never will be a Republican alternative healthcare bill"

Really, we've proven that nothing is more costly than "free" healthcare, and that delivering health care through an insurance system is as broken as you can get.

Insurance is for risks you can't handle out of pocket.  Routine health care should be a free market paid by inviduals and families, like food budgets.  Delivering everything through a massive insurance bureaucracy guarantees high cost and inefficiency.  Obamacare is quite literally Broken By Design.


"All they want to do is cause the ACA to either fail (it didn't) or go away"

All the benefits of Obamacare were front-loaded, the costs back-loaded.  The costs are coming due now.  They were DESIGNED to collapse it.  This was the subject of EXTENSIVE analysis at the time, but you, the goldfish who forgets what happened more than 7 seconds ago, have no memory of it.

What you get, you deserve.


"the Republicans elected Trump to fully prove that point."

Brainless idiot.  The GOP(e) wanted and expected El Jeb to win, to lose to Hitlery.  It was Americans who were fed up, and had other ideas.

"Obama has left the country, purely for vacationing reasons you understand."

"Would love to see your evidence of that."

than admit Hillary was a terrible, Crooked candidate.

Terrible crooked HRC did receive 3 million more popular votes than the bogus potus, HRC did not get help from the FBI and Russia to steal the election. HRC did not benefit from gerrymandering and intense voter suppression efforts in red states. And she still essentially won an election full of dirty campaign efforts against her. As for being a crook- prove it. All I want to see is one time she has been indicted, charged and convicted of a single crime in the 35 years you right wing motherfuckers have been lying about her. Just one, bitch. Put up or shut up!

Mike would rather the American public not know what a lying, thieving crook Hillary was.

Both candidates were "hacked", Hillary by someone, maybe the Russians, and Trump by Obama.

Obama had nothing on Trump, or we would have heard it last summer.

The filth on Hillary was too much for the American public to bear.

Personally, I am glad the truth came out, no matter how it happened. I am glad we now have a President who is so clean that even being surveilled for two years by the previous President turned up absolutely nothing that would cast doubts on his character or motivations.

It's time for us to come together and support our Presdient. God bless President Trump.

The Raiders? Really? Football? None for me, thanks. If another bunch of millionaires stop begging for public funding here and do it somewhere else, I'm a happy guy. I haven't cared about the Raiders since Bilitnikoff left.

So it looks like there was only one candidate in the general under FBI investigation, and it wasn't Hillary.

It also looks like only one of those candidates was guilty of treason, and that also wasn't Hillary.

The only real question is the extent of the collusion. It is possible that, as Malcolm Nance said last summer, Trump was (is) an unwitting asset of the Russians, but there is not any question as to whether he and his campaign benefited from Russian espionage. So now it's a game of "find the connection" to see whether or not he must face legal consequences. The utter outrageousness of a US president being assisted in his election by Russian spying and propaganda seems entirely lost on those who feel they benefited from it, but it sure as hell isn't lost on me.
And by the way, the Russians don't seem to labor under such uncertainties:
