And come the end of the year "Hey folks, the American people don't care what happens to the President's salary. It's his money and his private business. Why are you bringing up an old story? This is just a dstraction, it's fake news!" While he continues to pocket not just his salary but huge rent payments from the secret service for protecting his family in Trump Tower and his weekends in Mar-A-LagoDo you want to have an ideagasm?

kallend 2,148 #77 March 25, 2017 This is an interesting analysis of why Ryan and Trump were in such a hurry that they came up with such a half-assed plan: www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/03/25/why-republicans-were-in-such-a-hurry-on-health-care/?utm_term=.c51df52665a3&wpisrc=nl_&wpmm=1...

billvon 3,118 #78 March 25, 2017 QuoteIf they put things back to they way they were before, they'd be lynched at the next round of elections. Even though they've somehow convinced a lot of people that ObamaCare is the work of the devil, they can't convince those people to live without the results of it. Solution: Publicly repeal Obamacare, with great fanfare and many speeches. Then replace it with the ACA. Republicans get what they want - a chance to say "fuck you." The people get what they want - healthcare coverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling this country is going to shit, the GOP is in control and will have no problem watching people dying in the street. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
