Way to go,rural Kentuckians! At least you know Kynect is safe because it’s totally got nothing to do with the hated Obamacare.

I’m surprised anyone bothered to ask him.

And a special shout-out to Mitch for reaching across the aisle, if only to pick their pockets.

What a clown. It’s embarrassing to have representatives like these.

Well, the only “serious” question is to ask Obama why he won’t work with Republicans.

This is me spending time commenting on TPM reporting that the GOP plans to waste more time on a repeal that has zero chance of being signed by the president. Republicans - wasting time in order to prove that Americans don’t give a shit.

Why filibuster it? Get them on the record with their votes. ACA is working and a lot of folks benefit from it. Let them vote…and jam that vote in their face later. It doesn’t matter…the ACA isn’t going anywhere unless SCOTUS sabotages it. Vote on the bill.

Also, McConnell promises to hold a séance to talk to the ghost of Strom Thurmond.

Michelle is buying her husband a Mont Blanc pen for Christmas, the better to veto junk bills with.

And it will FAIL, as he hopes. He wants to make a show of it, but he does not actually want to repeal it, as that would haunt his party as he has tried to make passing it haunt the Democrats.

Exactly. A headline none of the media would dare to use for fear of upsetting their GOP buddies.

Is this an example of the responsible, bi-partisan governing the GOP has been telling the American people they will get if the keys are handed back to them? We’ve got two years of this BS ahead of us, on steroids. Let’s hope that 2016 is a Dem “wave election.” But for that they had better get their heads out of their posteriors and start acting like Democrats. Republicans acting like Republicans has clearly not hurt them, at least not in the short term.
