If a legitimate third party ever comes along they'll eventually end up just as scummy, lying, worthless, dirty mother ****ers as the two we have now.

It's all lies hoss

Lol, I'm not going to trust your worldview when you keep using misconceptions as evidence and don't back down from it

I know it's been touched on in here before, but the idea that both sides should be equally considered simply because they both are positions is increasingly frustrating. It's like if some guy is arrested for the third time for non-violent cocaine possession. (No one has ever made these hypothetical arguments, just an example). Dems might be "let's put him in rehab, maybe he's got to do a little time but lets use our resources to try to get him right" and the Repubs are like "let's kill him." Then if someone proposes "let's cut off his dominant arm" people say "See, what's wrong with that? Everyone meets in the middle! Compromise! Fair!"

Hoya,

FYI, you were wrong that we should want this to pass the House. Just in case that wasn't clear yet.

Pretty much everything I'm feeling worded much better than I ever could myself.

Time will tell whether this was wrong or not:

Quote:

The answer: yes, I think? Once it passes in the House, Democrats get to hang it like a millstone around the necks of every "moderate Republican" Representative who voted for killing people off by forcing them into a designed-to-fail-high-risk-insurance-scam-that-directly-enriches-insurers-as-people-die-and-that-taxpayers-pay-the-insurers-for. Once it fails in the Senate and needs to be rewritten by (malfeasant and soulless) grown-ups, the drama between the GOP Senate and Trump will be even better than all the gnashing of teeth, rending of garments and cuckolded gapery of the House majority meltdown over Obamacare reform, which cannot possibly help the GOP. The Democrats need this slow-motion seppuku to continue literally every single day through the midterm elections, or they'll never prevail (because they are utterly incompetent in virtually all ways).

We are obviously on the same page regarding whether it's horrible or not - it is horrible. I could not have been clearer about that.

That said, I am not optimistic that I am right that failure in the House is less valuable to dems than slow motion failure in the Senate, so fair play to you MEb.

Regarding the thoughts of Charles (GOAT)P. Pierce: yes.

Welp, I sent an email to Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson. I'd recommend taking the time to contact any Republican Senators in your state.

Re midterm:

Is there a cap on how much per year can be used out of the 135 bil or whatever going to high risk pools? If not that's going to be the frontloaded contract ever just to buy time and goodwill til **** hits the fan

The one thing about this that occurs to me repeatedly is that, for the first time I can ever remember, the boomers just voted to harm themselves rather than further entrench their entitlements and financial benefits at our expense.

There is a part of me - a small part, but a part - that welcomes their decision to expedite their shuffle off this mortal plane, which has always been too good for them.

Call. Calls are by far the most effective.

Medicare got a cut by way of the AHCA, but it won't be felt for a while.

It wasnt a report. Was from an interview on All Things Considered with a women that i cant remember the name of or her position of importance.

Last question of the interview asked if it needed 51 to which the interviewee confidently affirmed that indeed only 51 was necessary.

She could be wrong ofc.
