Putting everything aside, hatred of Trump, etc., this statement just bothers me to the core:

I had sympathy for her up until this. He contacted an underage girl. He doesn’t care about other people. He is a predator. Now she is deciding to get involved with a predator because he was “under pressure.”

repeal and replace this administration.

It’s the money and power hungry ones who end up being that annoying thread that when you pull it everything starts to unravel. Nunes is a giant fucking thread. Kinda warms my black heart.

Turns out the insurance business (why did we privatize healthcare again?) is only highly profitable when you insure only healthy people that don’t need insurance while kicking the sick to the curb.

I don’t have the actual figures at hand, but pre-obamacare, something like 80% of all US bankrupcies were caused by an unforeseen medical emergency. And out of those people, something like 65% STILL had health insurance.. But folks didn’t realize how absolutely shitty their health ins was until it was too late.

Very related… Manafort just lawyered up and will be visiting with the intelligence committee.

I think it says a lot about the GOP that they care about three things. Guns, missiles, and Viagra. Someone should write a paper about that.

Nothing, but a really expensive nothing.

Viagra and prostate cancer.

I think their goal is “nothing.”

insurance companies may no longer be required to cover prenatal care, maternity and newborn care, mental health, prescription drugs, emergency visits, hospitalization, outpatient care, preventative care, and more.

Because this dumb ass administration has no chance of coming up with something better than Obamacare and realize that they are way over their heads with any plan that actually requires intelligence, they’ve just trying to back away from the entire health care issue.

He would agree to no additional changes, and Republicans must either support the bill or resign themselves to leaving President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement in place.

Just left a message for Jason Lewis. (MN). I finally resorted to somewhat flattery and said, “Surely, you’re smarter than to vote for a bill with a 17% approval rating?” (Probably not, but men like that need to be coddled like the widdle babies they are).

They were making changes to the bill at least as recently as last night, and he’s trying to force a vote on it tomorrow? Why the fuck are they rushing this?! Of all the things to do patiently and carefully, you’d think major healthcare reform would be at the top of the list.

This is Trump’s attempt to sink Paul Ryan. You have the likes of Breitbart already nicknaming this healthcare act “Ryancare”. Never mind that Trump backed it up “100%” and he said he helped create it. Trump and his partners in crime are trying to shove this all on Ryan. They know how unpopular it is. So, if the act…

I heard a really eloquent Dr speak on why this is so, so bad for the country on NPR today. it was very matter of fact but the way she put it brought me to tears. I just want people to admit that they want poor people to die. like, just fucking own up to it is better than pussyfooting around acting like this is…

A few pundits had speculated that the divisions within the Republican party would actually flare up if they managed to get a Republican into the White House, and that would be more damaging to them in the long run than if they lost the 2016 election.
