Remember when the R’s were going on about “death panels”? Well, they have solved that problem. There are NO PANELS IN THEIR PLAN. Now you just move directly to the grave. Do NOT pass GO. And definitely DO NOT COLLECT $200.
There were never any “death panels” too dramatic. The CFO tells the CEO the costs from Accounting and they decide what to cover and what not to. No drama there.
Trump (who never read the bill from the House) eventually called it “mean, mean, mean.” (He doesn’t know many words, please forgive him for the repetition.) We now wait to hear his wisdom on the Senate version……………
Douglas Adams was right; “The People who desire power the most are, ipso facto, the LEAST qualified to get it. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anyone who is actually capable of being elected President be allowed to serve!”
No so-called ‘conservatives’ posting here how health care is not a right, and how the ‘free’ market will ensure that the Right People will get health care?
“The People who desire power the most are, ipso facto, the LEAST qualified to get it. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anyone who is actually capable of being elected President be allowed to serve!” — Douglas Adams
Here’s the fallacy of that statement : Because a person desires power does not me they are capable of being elected President.
That a person is capable indicates to me that they are resourceful and competent, at least to that extent and should not, automatically, be disqualified. Our current leader, having passed that particular resourcefulness test, is unqualified for a multitude and variety of other alarming reasons.
That he understood, however, the ignorance and anger of so many voters and was able to bamboozle them, I hope, is a very rare confluence of circumstances and, now that his method has been demonstrated, we should develop an effective plan to expose the next opportunist’s lies and impossible promises that even ignorant voters understand.
Don’t, under any circumstances, however, underestimate a crafty politician’s ability to lie and take advantage of low-information voters. Trump succeeded. It will be tried again. This should be an instructive experience for us all.

COMPROMISE REQUIRES CENTRISTS – {a rhyme}
For Repugs to engage in compromise,
they’d have to empower some centrists.
But their party is stacked quite Otherwise, -
- with Far-Right and Big-Money interests
who stand too dadgum’ contrariwise
to the Democrats’ {representatives} representrists.

RIGHTWING INUNDATION – {rhyme & coda}
Things get worse then worse and then worse
as verse-by-verse our Rightists rehearse
their clamor of notions which run adverse
to policies which’d serve what’s good for our nation.
We’re deep in the swamp of a bleak situation
of drowning from Rightwing inundation.
… Coda:
America’s obit:
“Their Right wasn’t fit.”

The ACTUAL Republican “Compromise” is “More POOR PEOPLE dead!”

IT COULDN’T BE WORSE – {a rhyme}
Rightists do this and do that, but wouldn’t
you know that mostly it’s stuff which they shouldn’t
be trying to do.
{They’re lying too.}
Could governance be worse than the Right’s? It couldn’t.

There is no way a republican would compromise from dead to sick. That would cost the rich money that Republicans are unwilling to give to the poor.
