Well, at the very least she acknowledges the House bill is garbage and she is not out there gaslighting the public that its terrific like Trump and Ryan are.

Sara Palin finally got her death panels and they are called risk pools. Families will be begging the death panels to give them money, and whomever is the sickest might get some help. The rest will just have to go bankrupt or die early.

Perhaps it’s time for the Dems to submit a “Medicare for All” competing legislation headed up by an all female Senate team.

Yes, Meghan McCain says Hillary is unpatriotic to say that the FBI interfered in our election process. What bull crap. Her father was the one who was unpatriotic by endorsing a man who was not qualified to be POTUS. McCain put party over county.

I have to laugh. America is buying into their own earlier than needed death.

I mean, who volunteers for less life? “No thanks nurse, I’ll just bleed to death to save the Government money so they can invest it in tax breaks for the job creators”.

It’s so asinine. This is all about a $100 billion tax break for the top tier wealthy paid for by other people’s needless pain and suffering. all brought to you by the good folks of Cambridge Analytica, run by Bannon, paid for by Mercer…or possibly Putin.

Collins and Snowe totally screwed us over on Obamacare. Dragged out the deliberations and asked for a gazillion changes, got most everything they wanted, watered down and eliminated a lot of essential elements, and then wouldn’t vote for it anyway.

Collins will do the same on her own her this time. She will take the lead on “compromising” to make a completely shitty bill only mostly shitty. Then she’ll vote for it and take a bow.

Collins: “It is a terrible bill, but it is the best the House freedom caucus will allow.”

[/quote]Sally Rand, Sally Rand - oh yes, she’s Ayn’s more likable sister. And her act did end better than the quite predictable act of Sen. Collins (R-ME).

She voted for the stimulus package in 2009?

Well, Collins is kinda sorta maybe considering a 2018 run to be governor of Maine. She is tacking -as is her habit- to appear reasonable.

But highly likely it’s still just a tax cut bill.

How is Trump supposed to legislate? How is he supposed to provide for people in States where their pre existing conditions are rendered unaffordable? I dont get it and Priebus knows he is full of it.

“If you have a pre-existing condition, this president is not going to let you down,” Priebus said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Yep, make sure those opioid addictions continue so that you’ll be so high you won’t care. See, just like he said, he won’t let you down.
