President Donald Trump on Wednesday bragged about his administration’s move to abandon Obamacare in federal court, telling reporters in the Oval Office that “If the Supreme Court rules that Obamacare is out, we will have a plan that’s far better than Obamacare.”

LOLOLOLOLOL We’ve been hearing this “we have a better plan ready to go” for nearly 4 years now. And yet, no plan exists or has ever existed. If it had, then the compoletely Republican controlled country (President, House AND Senate) could have passsed and enacted it.

So effing pathetic…

Anybody who continues to believe the porno president’s conman ramblings on healthcare is officially an idiot.

However, there are many, many people out there who are willing to give up their benefits so that “those people” can’t have them. It is a suicide pact in choosing policy.

“If the Supreme Court rules that Obamacare is out, we will have a plan that’s far better than Obamacare.”

So now the party that constantly rails against judges who legislate from the bench believe it is necessary for the Supreme Court to act before Congress can legislate. With a major effort Trump might reach the point when he is ready for:

And just to note, here we are again at the endpoint of Republican policy - first you lie it away on FOX; if that doesn’t work, you vote it away with propaganda and voter suppression; if that doesn’t work you legislate it away (or, more often, refuse to legislate); and if that doesn’t work, you send it through the courts and rule it away. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.

Later this year we will be hearing that gerrymandering is a state’s issue.

It’s the same as the wall—we’re two years in, and what used to be absurdly optimistic promises are now schizoid, self-contradictory mashups of dramatic improvement because Trump is here to save the day and continuing nightmare conditions with anything he hasn’t gotten his way on, and they’re often the same things being described these ways.

The salient assets of Demagogues include the two below:

(a) Trump channels his supporters’ resentments

(b) Trump’s followers follow HIM

I was aware of this before Super Tuesday 2016. After Super Tuesday lots of other Americans did and I dare say, that knowledge (and the deep recognition of the volcanic resentments Trump was channeling) enervated what should have been a more aggressive Democratic effort.

Lots of people live, love, work and spend time with Trumpers (even if they themselves are more liberal) and they must have quailed at the diatribes they heard against every one of Trump’s (and their) targets of resentment. There was NEVER a campaign like that of 2016.

The Conventional Wisdom was previously (1) Get the Base (2) Win the Nomination (3) Pivot to the middle and run in the General.

Trump destroyed that. Ever since early 2016, we have been Two Americas

Looks like they used the same Pence mannequin as for the meeting with “Chuck and Nancy” during the shutdown debacle.
