Sen. Graham got it partly right: ā€œI just donā€™t thinkā€. A requirement to be a GOTP member in good standing :ā€™(

Republicans, repeat after me:

ā€œFool me once, shame on you. Fool me 67 times over six years, shame on me.ā€

Thank you, Captain Obvious. Btw what was the tipoff ā€“ was there some event in the last eight years that led you to this conclusion or was it 67 individual, trivial events?

For once I hope you are correct.

Of course they will never admit they in essence put together the ACA which was based on their idea and incorporated over 100 of their amendments in it, even though for simple crass political considerations they ended up not voting for their own idea.

Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didnā€™t find one of ā€˜em, not one stinkinā€™ dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill.

Itā€™s been 7 fucking years and we have yet to even have a rational conversation for Godā€™s sake.

How about sharing with us what the fucking bill would look like? And whatā€™s the plan to get more folks covered?

Well, I do remember when they declared the House effort dead. And then, kaboom, the AHCA passed. So, Iā€™ll believe it when I see it.

Graham, Burr, McConnell proclaim repeatedly that an ACA repeal is very improbable at least this year. However, McConnell just announced that he wants an up-or-down vote by the end of June on the Senateā€™s GOP-only proposal, presently being negotiated within their caucus.

It is possible that their palaver about the impossibility of repealing ACA intends to dampen widespread public concern and active resistance until the deed is done. The Trojan Horse ploy is legendary; however, a Kentucky Turtle ploy may be just as successful. Perusing this comment string suggests that yet again we are fatuously self-confident.
