President Trump confirmed Wednesday that his administration was not backing down from the aggressive anti-Obamacare stance it’s taking in a blockbuster case in front of the Supreme Court.
The Administration wants to replace Obamacare with DumpsterfireCare, in which the administration runs from calamity to calamity throwing money at supporters and denying it to detractors.
It’s really a shame that this isn’t going to be argued this term…just imagine the political fallout with rising deaths while administration lawyers argue to cut health care. COVID will be a heck of a pre-existing condition for millions of Americans, that’s for sure.
This should be a huge talking point for the Democrats in the fall, if they can keep Trump saying that Obamacare will be cancelled, they can connect that to Medicaid, and Republican efforts to undermine Medicare as well. If anything is going to drive people to the polls, it’s the fear that the health care system won’t help them, and it’s likely that Biden will be talking about strengthening it to take care of all Americans during the campaign.
Right?! But “Don’t underestimate Trump’s political savvy.” Sure, this is all part of a grand strategy from the brilliant mind of a man who recommends curing a deadly disease by shining a light up your ass and drinking bleach.
Of course it has to go, it has the word “Obama” in it. Trump can’t get Obama out of his head, the ex-President has taken up permanent residence there.
I’m surprised Trump isn’t getting pushback from more than Barr on this, like McConnell and every R Senator up for reelection. I guess the plan is to assume SCOTUS won’t actually rule on it before the election. They’ll deal with it after the election if they stay in power, and it’s not their problem if they lose. But man, what a gift they’re giving the Democrats going into the election.
If I didn’t know it, I would have thought that Spock had a great great great grandfather…who decided to get Joe the Presidency by putting a mind-meld on Trump:
“You WILL eliminate ObamaCare”
“Barack Obama thinks you are a chump.”
“You MUST do this NOW: Get rid of ObamaCare”
“Don’t forget…Republican Senate candidates will hail you as a Hero”
“We want to terminate health care under Obamacare.”
Ha ha nice try TPM, but I’m not believing that even Trump is so stupid as to say that a) in the middle of a pandemic and b) during an election year. I mean it’s…<touches earpiece>…oh, he did say that? To a room full of reporters? Okay then.

Scientists are hard at work crafting a revised General Theory of Stupidity which can explain the new evidence while still allowing for tying of shoes and breathing.
