The Trump administration will release it’s better, cheaper, covers everybody and everything draft legislation in a couple of weeks, or …

Never.

The 2018 midterms were largely about preserving access to health care, so this provides an opening big enough to ram a couple semis through…realistically, you were always going to have to defeat 45 at the ballot box. I doubt the GOP would’ve reacted if there had been evidence of obstruction of justice or collusion. 45’s their guy and they’re sticking with him come what may.

Go get 'em, Dems. This is just what we needed, coupled with a constant call to release the Mueller report.

I heard an analyst this morning say that a minimum of 25 million Americans stand to lose their health insurance if this were to go through. (It makes me physically ill just to think about this happening.) Let’s see how the public responds when the Dems publicize that number.

“After Mueller”?

Beyond a small circle of people, including an AG that has decided to let Trump weaponize his cover letter, nobody has seen the report. It could well be that several weeks before its release, Barr simply pulled the plug: reportus interruptus. After Mueller would be after the report has been released to the public. Indeed, Trump’s acts of revenge are precisely what we would expect in this usurpation of power by the executive. Democrats have to decide whether to fight now and take their lumps or lay low and fight at some later date. Laying low is a bit different than refocusing.

Stupid title. One might think that some people might want to hurry Democrats’ interest in the Report along.

Sorry about that. Here’s why:

No Report means that a Comprehensive 22 month-long Investigation of what is essentially a Mob Boss masquerading as “president” has been rendered moot.

  • Resulting in inaccurate information on Trump by “exonerating him”

  • Having been caused by bending the law in Trump’s favor, thus negating the Rule of Law

  • Resulting in trashing Mueller and turning him into a “hero” for Trump

The main danger here is the damage to the Rule of Law. If a POTUS can select an A.G. and that A.G. can protect him from a legitimate investigation, we will have descended into lawlessness.

OMG. This is political stupidity of the highest order on team Trump’s part. Is there nobody in charge? They basically gave every single Democratic talking head on cable news something to pivot on.

CNN Personality: So what do you think of Barr saying Trump is the most innocent president ever?
Democrat: Wolf, how can you even ask that when millions of American’s are about to lose the healthcare keeping them alive?!?!

As tiny as Donald’s mushroom dick is, he just can’t help stepping on it.

I think this is what they call drunk with power. Right?

GOP Logic:

  • Everyone gets a gun? Saves lives.

  • Everyone gets healthcare? Kills people.

We won a National election on a pro-GOP playing field by 8 points on the ACA. If they bring this crap for 2020, that 8 point win gets electorally magnified both in the EC and the Senate while probably also yielding us another 10-20 house seats.

I hate to say this, but they broke the Rule of Law when they let him pardon Arpaio and let that pardon stand. He acted outside the constitution when he did that because Arpaio was in contempt for violating other people’s constitutional rights. It was not a valid pardon legally in my view.

From there it’s all just been held together by I don’t know what.

In addition, if we get the Mueller report and establish that Trump is a danger to national security that will damage the GOP even more.

Folks, we may end up with a double feature: an ACA strike-down and over-ruling Roe. Just in time for 2020.
