Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said he would “consider” waiving some of the Affordable Care Act’s insurer mandates, including its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Yeah, of course he would! In a heartbeat!

This jerk has to be the first to line up to curry favor from his perceived masters. Despicable little man.

His m.o. is to immediately agree with whatever his interlocutor suggests. Unfortunately the Wisconsin Democratic Party is a tire fire in a dumpster in terms of candidates for anything so he can get away with whatever.

“It depends on the conditions.”

Conditions:

  1. Insurance companies request it.

“That’s something we would certainly consider.”

“Because I am an ignorant, heartless, raging asshole,” Walker continued.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what Walker does, because even if he cuts off healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin citizens, Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein will float from the sky on angels’ wings, and lo, they shall suckle the sick and infirm and nurse them to health upon the sweet Purity nectar of their bosoms. SO IT IS WRITTEN.

Does anyone know if there have been any demonstrations as a result of the vote yesterday? And has anyone heard about how the vote went over in the red areas that will be adversely affected (even if they’re too stupid to realize it yet)?

Dickhead? Putz?? Asswipe???

Just the first things that crossed my mind —give me time, I’m sure to come up with more.

He really is.
There is something repulsive about the man; down to his smarmy facial expressions. How do these people sell themselves to an electorate? Mystifies me, completely.

The GOP centrists—whose support ultimately got the bill, the American Health Care Act, enough votes to pass the House narrowly Thursday—meanwhile argued that very few, if any, states would seek the waivers.

LOLOL! Scott Walker of Wisconsin just demonstrated how they lied. Those centrists

Opponents for every last one of those centrists will be found, I hope.

  1. Wave year.

Exactly.

Are you a Wisconsin resident? I ask because I’m curious about the hold Republicans have on what used to be a purple state.

Wisconsin had a chance to get rid of this fool, and failed.

Then the state helped elect Trump.

Wisconsin deserves the worst.

Let’s not do this. Even when states are “deep red”, condemning a third of their citizens to hell on earth is a bit much. When the margin is much slimmer than that, we should be helping rather than writing off.

Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pa. gave us Trump, and I don’t care about what happens to the fools there.

There must be some secret polling that shows that all the public polling is wrong, either that or the Republicans are banking on (1) Koch money and (2) Democrats proving they are totally incapable of taking advantage of the unforced error that is the AHCA.

Wisconsin and North Carolina are like mirrors of each other at this point. Both states with strong progressive traditions that were blindsided by the Kochtopus Empire’s web of fake grass roots organizations and rivers of money. Both states with great “public ivy” universities that were local Republicans came to hate with a McCarthyite zeal which are now both under seige…

We managed to liberate the governor’s mansion but we’re still stuck with a veto proof Republican majority and a typically disorganized and slapdash Democratic Party establishment that had been coasting along on pure inertia for a couple of decades before the trainwreck.

The only thing we don’t have is Russ Feingold making things worse with purity pony windmill charges. And the snow, of course.
