“a conservative think tank”
oxymoron of the century…
I think the meaning of “tank” can be taken as more literally, in the military sense, and then it fits.
Is Heritage Action related toDeMented’s Herigage group? And if so, didn’t they write Rmoney Care, aka the PPACA?
An Aeroflot charter is due in at Reagan National this afternoon, filled with Russian hookers poised to do some serious lobbying of the Heritage Action bible-thumpers…
Very ironic since Obamacare is from the Heritage Foundation. Also, the added money for older Americans is a con. The money is left up to the Senate to pass it, and it will go to the states to use it how they want. Does anyone really believe republican governors will care about seniors health??
If only there were a plan the GOP could support.
Based on health-insurance marketplaces.
With an individual mandate.
And protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
Maybe from a place like The Heritage Foundation.
Something like that…
It’s a sad day when I’m hoping the Ultra-Assholes manage to defeat the Mostly-Assholes.
@centralasiaexpat Maybe they mean it in the crash or implode sense, as in it’s what happens when the thinking tanks.
If only. But sadly nothing like that exists.
Yeah, but that was before he got there and turned over the apple cart of reason they had previously tried to operate from…Now they’re a totally DeMented entity.
I’d like to see these Goopers have to decide come Thursday which door they plan to walk through…
Should be fun.
Because, you know, government is awful at running businesses.
Ignore the fact that government is now being run by business people.
Have the business people in government not do anything, so the people in business can do the right thing… until the people in business get appointed to the government, and then they’ll develop sudden incompetence.
The problems with America are all sourced by the corruption and/or incompetence of the top.
So let me get this straight.
Trump threatens to primary hard right conservatives who don’t play ball with — other harder right conservatives? more moderate conservatives? — liberal conservatives? — Trump conservatives?
Bizarro World keeps hitting new levels of pure enjoyment…
Schwarzenegger taunts Trump over approval rating
Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger continued his very public feud with President Donald Trump, releasing a video Tuesday taunting the president for his falling approval ratings.
“The ratings are in, and you got swamped,” Schwarzenegger said. “Wow, now you’re in the 30s? But what do you expect when you take away after school programs for children and Meals on Wheels for the poor people?"
Ask them if they like the fact that Ryancare will result in a million more people without insurance than a simple repeal of ACA. (according to the CBO)
Yeah, but at least they are clean morons, no stains no more…on!
Yes, its the same. Demint basically took over and shifted it to more of a teaparty activist group and shed most of the actual “think tank” garments.
And yes, before he took over, Heritage is where RomneyCare and Obamacare were conceived, back in the 90s as a response to HillaryCare being floated by the then First Lady.
Which is the great irony here…they are literally trashing their own work now. Just proving Conservatism does not equal Consistency.
Well, they might be the salvation of the ACA if they can keep their kookoo caucus in line and short Paul Ryan the votes he needs.
I mean, probably there’s enough sentient Republican senators that it wouldn’t make it through the Senate, but if the House vote can’t happen they just might move on to tax cuts proper before they lose all their juice. And that would seriously damage the brands of both Paul Ryan and Donald Trump.
Heritage Action for America is only opposed because it is not sufficiently draconian.
Heritage Action for America flat-out wants - zero - resources extended to help the less fortunate
Heritage Action for America believes that if you have a major unaffordable health crisis…
-
- that is God’s way of telling you to drop out of the race.
But let a hurricane or flood hit the home district of one of these bastards - and Oh! the wails & cries for generous support and federal aid … oh how the rest of the country should help them out in their hour of need
There is no middle ground for evil is basically what it comes down to.
There are varying degrees of evil and sides but evil wants what it wants and won’t settle for half an evil loaf.
Fuck’em all evil won’t get in bed with starve’em all evil and use’em evil wants no part of abuse’em evil.
So as ironic as this is, evil may be our salvation.
