Die sooner, or less care, or more out of pocket.

See…CHOICE!

“No one” is true, I’m sure at least three people are planning it on Air Force One alone.

“No one is talking about privatization.”. It’s all been done via email and memos, see, no talking. The contract with HCA will be done next week.

How do they say things like this with a straight face. Even veteran actors have trouble with ridiculous lines.

"No one is talking about privatizing the VA,” deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters told Politico.

Absolutely no one, and when I say no one, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit.

The man is a sociopath. I hesitate to even call him a liar anymore. He just…spews. He tells you what he ‘thinks’ you want to hear and then justifies changing it because he is ‘the smartest, the best, educated, etc. etc’ Even if HE doesn’t think it means ‘privatizing the VA’ I’ll bet money the do-nothing Republicans are privately cheering. What a freakin’ mess.

Well no one at the WH may be currently talking about it.Their gab session ended when Shulkin blew the whistle. But you can bet your Kochbucks that they were talking about it.

Before this is all over I’m 99 percent convinced we’ll hear about Trump taking direct money bribes from beneficiaries of decisions like this. Not indirect in any way, I’m talking about suitcases full of money and large deposits to secret accounts in offshore banks. There’s just no way that’s not happening.

Great. He said no one is privatizing the VA which means the VA is getting privatized. These bastards are selling everything that belongs to us to their cronies.

One day, the left hand of this administration will meet its right hand somewhere in the West Wing and have a nice conversation on what the two together will say to the public. Truth, lie, I don’t care–we can sort that out on our own time–but man: I long for the day when the public is presented with one, just one declarative, un-gainsaid statement from this White House regarding policy, hiring, what have you.

“Believe me.”

Well, to be fair, they’re giving a lot of it away.

Trump proves that Shulkin was correct.
The VA is definitely on the chopping block.
