Discussion: Not Dead Yet? White House Floats New Deal To Revive O'Care Repeal

Then you have to cut off it head!
(Don’t you know anything about vampires?)

Where was Buffy when we needed her the most.

Are you sure about that?

what better way to get the D’s to the negotiating table than killings kids. Start killing widows and orphans and they will have to do something to stop the carnage.

Don’t really think it works that way.

“There is no deal in principle” House Freedumb Caucus member Mark Meadows told the Huffington Post.

That is because the principle is power.

So you don’t have to deal.

Or have your fingerprints on anything. Now for an appropriate musical interlude… :wink:

Apparently Republicans want to commit collective political suicide. I say let them tilt at this windmill again. Nobody in the Freedumb caucus realizes they missed a bullet when the previous bill failed. Their older white base was ready to destroy them.

I guess they can’t figure a way to do their big tax break without killing expanded medicaid. Thousands must die so a few can get a big tax refund.

Lets at least be real.
This more rushed than the first horrible version has just as little to do with improving healthcare or even the insurance side than it is all about our stupendously infantile President being able to say he didn’t lose.
You know he’s been stewing since the moment that he bailed on his own signature legislation and is desperate to spin that failure into really being a part of the bigger plan that he is slinging now.

The plan is probably worse and should go down just as hard but with the benefit of hindsight and the shitlist compiled of all those that knew better than to vote for this drek, Trounce has had a little time to threaten and over-promise to gain clowns like Ryand Paul and the oh so pure Freedom Caucus.
If they are wise they will tell him what he wants to hear and make empty promises back, then bail on him come vote day. Because its kill or be killed with Trounce the backstabbing blame evader.

And surprise of all surprises, even the fact avert Trumpettes realized that despite the typical blatant lying that they thirst for, this one would really hurt them, possibly even kill them.
They’ll be even more pissed that they have to go kick their Reps butts all over again and might even be a little more knowledgeable this go 'round.

The mere act of repealing has lost it’s luster, what is the replacement is all the rage now.

Yes, and the O-care taxes are a must for them if their tax plan is ever going to come together.
They have to fake their way through gutting O-care in order to get to gutting taxes.

Even evil has a progression.

More cruel than the last Piece of rethug excrement. …This helps no one but the insurance cos…DEATH PANELS FOR THE 47% VULNERABLES.

SPITTING IN THE WIND IS A CONGENITAL DEFECT FOR PRESENT DAY republicans!

Especially with dear-leader stumbling along in their
putrid wake!

Ummm, their core supporters will consider it a privilege and blessing to be killed by the people they voted for. Look up “self flagellation” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of a Republican voter next to the entry.

Ummm, attempts to float is more like it. With so many holes this POS won’t float and is certain death sentence to all those that get on board.

And, don’t even think that this distracts from the Russian death spiral that is really the only news out there and although its confusing and vast, is coming together nicely.
When Trounce goes down-all the EOs will go down, the little Trounces will be out on their phony gold crusted ears, the Russian influence will be stymied, Putin will get his turn at scrutiny and the Repubs will be tarnished by the whole debacle for eternity.

Choosing to look bad at wrecking healthcare again will ‘NOT’ cease the impending fate of the Russian puppet and his flock of wannabes.
It’s all about Russia and the money from here on out, all else is smoke and mirrors.

Yeah, self-flagellation. That’s a big part of the psychology of their white working class vote. They’re all getting that sweet, sweet government assistance because there’s no jobs where they live, or their three jobs don’t pay enough to feed the kids on, or they’re on disability, or they’ve aged out of their working lives and are just scraping by on Medicare and Social Security, and they all hate themselves for it, and they project that blame on to the black working class and fetishize bigly wealth and financial independence as embodied by Donald Trump, or the character he plays on The Apprentice, at any case.

Rush something out there. Don’t read it. Don’t think too much about it. Just put something out there. It’ll be terrific. Believe me.

Trump just wants a win. It doesn’t matter what’s in the bill. He wants a big fat beautiful juicy win! It will be tremendous!

“Not Dead Yet?”
