Iām with you tiger - keep fighting the good fight. Donāt get discouraged - there are plenty if trolls who seemingly live to divide dems - either because theyāre paid to, or maybe they just like playing into Trumpās (and Vladās, for that matter) tiny hands.

They have been drinking their anti-ACA-koolaid inside their āParty of Noā tent for so long, they are delusional
[/quote]wish that fit a bumperstickerā¦ when Pence says āweāre eliminating medicaid expansion to take that burden off the futureā it reeks. Doing that only imposes a much worse burden on our future, people without basic healthcare descend into very expensive treatment that drives up everyoneās cost.
ONLY health insurance executives still benefit from this vendetta, thereās no one else who wins. They get bonuses regardless of their failures.
And the losers just die in pain.

the cruelest jackals are now in chargeā¦ that is becoming more evident with every draconian cut. They cut the MOST vulnerable, and give more to the wealthy via armament sales and wargames.
The Jackals is a very good label for āthem.ā If you ignore the good qualities of jackals.
The bottom line is: Conservatives (republican and democrat) do not represent the electorate, they represent the profiteers who make billions through the rationing of overpriced healthcare and pharmaceuticals. As long as our (cough) elected officials can be purchased we will never have affordable, effective, comprehensive healthcare in America, there is just too much profit in keeping things the way they are.
Good point but there is also a case for trying crooks and locking them up after conviction. Lock him up has a certain resonance.

Another day, another tone-deaf asshat GOP Congressman (notice how itās always CongressMEN who make asses of themselves in DC?)
Voters are the bosses of those we send to DC. Imagine how well things would go if, during your performance review, you told your boss, āYou donāt know how to listen!ā āSit down and be quiet!ā
Yeah, that would work just fine.

Iām pretty sure Sessions was cheering loudly in 2009 when teabaggers were commandeering Democratic town halls, shouting down speakers, sidetracking the debate into nonsense and lies, and generally making certain that the nation could not have a mature conversation about healthcare.
No that was all wonderful, grassroots democracy in action, unlike now, when it is a bunch of ill-mannered malcontents disrupting well-intentioned congress-people who are simply making a good-faith effort to take away their healthcare.

If Trump is losing Texas can the rest of the Confederacy be far behind?
Itās an R+10 district. He can thumb his nose at them if he wants.

That would be wonderful. Doesnāt seem likely though. He does often quietly give up to extricate himself from a difficult situation, but only if he thinks it wonāt be noticed or can be described as a win for him. Leaving the presidency doesnāt give him either of those escape hatches. Itās like Josh says, his overarching concern is to be seen as dominant. You never know, heās as impulsive as anyone on the planet, but I donāt think heāll just quit. Heās already transformed the job into a performance as a figurehead, like Queen Elizabeth. Heāll carry on with that until heās thrown out.

He did identify one real problem, ānot listening.ā The problem is that a town hall meeting is supposed to be an opportunity for Members of Congress to listen to their constituents. This fool thinks it his duty to tell his constituents what to think.
He is wron and should be voted out.
