This clown brings a profound ignorance to his job that is equaled by his overwhelming stupidity. A perfect Trumpette.

Joseph tied up his donkey and told his wife Mary he would inquire at the Inn. But there was no room.

“Not to worry!” said the Inn Keeper to Joseph. “I’m a Republican and can come up with an ingenious solution to the real problem.”

“I’ll just reduce everyone’s price here a full 10%! Now, it’s only 9 pieces of gold each night. See, the goal isn’t to figure out a way to shelter you right now… it’s that rooms in general are more affordable to everyone! You know, everyone that has nine pieces of gold.”

Mary and her boy-child died in the street from hypothermia due to exposure later that evening.

Actually, no. That was Sue Lowden. She lost the primary to Sharron Angle, mostly because of her “Chickens for Checkups” nonsense. Angle was the Tea Party candidate who lost an unlosable race to Harry Reid.

They live in a world where they and their friends watched what was going on in the King D Superdome during Katrina and sneered at how they were all too stupid to just throw a couple of crates of bottled water into the back of their SUV and motor to their summer home in the mountains. They live in a world where they’ve never known a day when they didn’t know where their next meal was coming from, never been on the brink of homelessness, never once worried about whether to pay the electric or the water bill because they couldn’t pay both.

They live in a world where poor people are poor because they choose to be poor and stay poor because they lack the gumption to pull themselves up by their bootstraps like they did. A world where people who don’t have a job should just borrow a hundred k or so from Pop-Pop and start a business. They live in a world where bankruptcy won’t change your lifestyle much for the worse. They live in a world where no one contemplates suicide because of debt or income.

They live in a world where neither they, nor anyone they know, has ever had anything but first class healthcare and never worried about being able to pay for it.

And they live in a world where everyone they know is just like them and people have no capacity to put themselves in the shoes of someone who doesn’t have the same lived experiences they do.
That’s the world of the Country Club subspecies of Republican.

There will always barter system…1 chicken for 15 min. A rib-eye steak for an office procedure. One child for hospital admission… and and 1 child for each day.

Shorter GOP: Affordable & available healthcare is really just an aspiration; we don’t actually plan on delivering anything that resembles it.

Too bad the people most affected by the demise of the ACA- the poor, ignorant people they call their ‘base’- won’t hear or read about this. They will just hear that Trump’s plan got grilled by those mean old swamp dwellers.

They are desperately trying to throw crap around so that they can get this disaster passed and signed before the CBO scoring and other serious analyses come out, and before legislators have to be anywhere near their constituents again.
