Proof that his entire raison d’etre is to undo anything Obama accomplished.
This is an evil man. He’s a liar and a cheat. He’s demonstrably stupid and uninformed. He’s easily the least qualified President we’ve ever had and he’s very likely kill us all.
Actively trying to deny people coverage. Shady, despicable, shameless. But hey, what are a few dead bodies in the name of getting a good headline on fox?
Rest of thread. GOP, evil institution.

His TV schedule and attention span make that impossible.
A stick-figure drawing on an electoral map – now that I’ll believe.
Today’s GOP: The Poor Don’t Deserve Insurance.
So Trump actually is shooting people in the middle of the street?
Thanks for the information.
I think.
He is a vile pig who has no business being anywhere near the levers of power. We really need to rid ourselves of this tumor on the body politic, sooner rather than later.
One day people will wake up and come to know their place in the new order. Gays are meant to be bullied and ostracized. Blacks get shot in the back. Poor people go without health care and die. Hispanics get deported. Press fawns, or else. And SCOTUS wants to know your balance sheet before deciding if you live, die or go to jail.*
Oh, and everyone gets coal in their stocking for Christmas.*
**That’s “Merry Christmas” to you, buster!
My question would be who told him to do this because I seriously doubt he had any fucking clue about anything that was going on with this.
I wonder how many beats are left in this goons heart.
Pop goes the weasel song comes to mind
I agree with everything stated up thread, but wait… the freaking President of the United States can’t get in touch with one of his Secretaries?? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous or at least disrespectful?
An unnamed person familiar with the exchange told the newspaper that Trump saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about Iowa’s plan,
Oh, please. Someone saw an article, but it wasn’t the Moron-in-Chief.
Le fucking A
Andy Slavitt’s thread is another band-aid ripped off the hope that Republicans are too incompetent to operationalize their revanchist horrors: many of them are, true, but they and their paymasters hire agents who aren’t.
It also serves to remind, if that were needed, that technocrats can serve evil rather than good and even do so eagerly. I recall a story I read some years ago – possibly in connection to Napoleon but that doesn’t matter – how some who serve a tyrant will try to outdo that tyrant in tyranny at their own scale, not simply to demonstrate their loyalty but to demonstrate their fitness with the hidden fantasy they could replace the tyrant and do a better job at it.
NB: The Republicans could indeed be at war among themselves at the moment – hard to imagine serving the cause they do would not erode the spirit of any normal human and one must at least grant they were born that way before their descent – but it really doesn’t matter too much because the institutions and agencies created by the plutocracy march on as they have for many decades, continuing to do their work, and now with additional assistance from the Russian oligarchy.
We’ve all been mistaken.
Trump consider them losers. Losers gotta lose.
Run for office- the 2018 elections are only 13 months away, and if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, then we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one.
Overturn any voter ID laws the are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise.
