Discussion: Senate GOPers Stick To Extraordinarily Secretive O'Care Repeal Process

You libbos are so paranoid.

The fact that it’s hidden shows how great it really is.

We should thank them for the opportunity and the blessing we gave them for serving us their agenda.

They should put 1000s of amendments to make it last until the August break, then they would have to face their constituents .

Castrate these fucking pigs

For crying out loud, even the Washington Examiner(!!!) is calling for McConnell to unveil the bill so people can read it.

Update: this is some evil shit

Devise in secret, repent in public.

“Prior restraint” is such great optics. :angry:

I think I called it in an earlier thread: they’re going to send something to the CBO for scoring, and that’s going to be the headline number they go with, but they’re going to keep messing with the bill while the CBO is working on it, so that the version they vote on won’t have a CBO score until well after the vote.

This is particularly interesting because the CBO scores of various provisions determine (in theory at least) whether the bill can be brought up under reconciliation. So if they mess with the bill after sending it, they might well end up voting on it in contravention of senate rules. Not that such a gaffe would slow them down even a little.

the republican leadership is too afraid to admit there is nothing better than O’care, at least not at this point. so the leadership lets this secrecy nonsense carry on, because they want the bill to die. they know that the only thing more frightening than repealing O’care is being held accountable for its replacement. all this weirdness assures the bill won’t pass while the McConnells and Ryans can sit there with a straight face and tell the wingnuts they had their shot.

It’s past time for a major riot…millions of people march on DC and demand mass resignations. It works people, it works. We are literally witnessing the destruction of democracy, social safety nets disappearance and “dear leader” like governance. It is alarmingly scary and dangerous. The lies from the “dear leader” are beyond despicable.

I remember all the phony rage the GOP Cocksuckers were filling the atmosphere with over the ‘lack of transparency,’ when the Smart President was in office Remember that? There was so much of it, it must have attributed to global climate change.

Now that there’s a Republican in there. It vanished like a fart in a hurricane.

Since Reagan, we have had to endure conservative failed programs and policies, so this is no surprise. The spineless Democratic Party has enabled these monsters to take our country downward and backward…and then like the man who picks up after the elephants they get to clean up the conservative mess of wars, recessions, stagnant wages, voter suppression…You get the picture!

The anecdote: Resist, obstruct, confront and then vote them out!

Uh, sparky?

If the Dem Party is so spineless, then who will be “voting them out”? You haven’t really thought this through, have you?

You know, I think one (just ONE) of the problems is that Dems have been warning the American people about this for some time. This country will have to fall apart in real time before any of the things you just said happen. I’m not happy bout it but America is in the process of being hollowed out right now. There is nothing to replace what we lose; we’ll simply end up with nothing.

I guess sometimes you really DO need to touch the hot stove to find out what hot means

Right now the White House is touting that the GOP House bill only causes 13 million to lose insurance, not that dreadful 23 million the CBO projects. As if this is good news. I think they’re just buttering us up for an awful CBO score on the Senate version. Don’t fall into the normalization trap!

I hope everyone is contacting their senators about this horseshit. Don’t let the russia probe be a distraction from the big heist going down in healthcare.

There re some on the Left who are trying to scare Dems into thinking that focus can either be put on Russiagate OR on Trumpcare.

BOTH can and should be done. Summer is here and things have the ability to get ugly quickly as Rump’s regime will find out. Especially in August when they decide to let the country default. Mnuchin has already come out in favor of a “good” gov’t. shut down. Good luck and God bless.

All this just to save the wealthier among us a few percentage points on their taxes. I wonder if they will be wishing for Obamacare once we retake the government and tax them a dozen percentage points to pay for our single payer.

Maybe that’s what all these pretests will eventually lead to. I am impatient and feeling anxious daily. I wake up with a knot in my chest every day…
