SOMETHING GOOD.
My wife is a breast cancer survivor. When she went to her last appt, the clerk said that b/c of the bad economy, cancer patients there cannot afford to pay their $25-$50 copays
They would go without treatment; but, the facility has set a fund to pay the co-pays for them.

If they roll over on something as critical as the ACA subsidies after so much bravado and many false promises, what else will the Party of Cowardice roll over on?
Millions will suffer because eight naive fools believed an empty Republican promise. Johnson will never advance a bill in the House.

Trump’s newest idea. It would require an act of Congress … which is on Epstein disability leave.
Even so, healthcare ain’t a business decision. Its many real and unique nooks and crannies make Trump’s idea impossible to legislate.

Why are these numbers still sooooo favorable to Trump?
I’m beginning to believe that I don’t understand what motivates, disgusts, horrifies, and/or repulses every other American I meet on the street (from WaPo).
Trump should, and yet …

Abraham Lincoln, a man who lay in an attic & read by candlelight was a fan of gaudy marble? BS!
I believe that the Lincoln of that era grew up using nature for his needs.
PS. This marble is native to the Carrara upper mountainous regions of Italy. Some also comes from China. Buy American? Not.

Therefore, according to the UN, Trump is an international terrorist. He’s no better than those he believes he is crusading against.
There’s always the right way to do this. Then, there is the Trump way.

I’ve said it before, but as you read this, the small voice inside your head will scream, “He is insane.”
That voice doesn’t exist - apparently, in ~49% of our population, Republican officeholders, Supreme Court Justices, or his brown shirt army of thugs.

In the Bondi hearings (DOJ Barbie), the D Senators had their teeth out. Unfortunately, they were baby teeth. They need shark’s teeth.
Bondi: “Are you calling me a liar?”
That response should have been, “Yes, I am. You’ve been lying all morning.”
See the diff?

Trump lives within a snow globe - he has done so for his entire life.
The only job of those who work around him is to make it snow - to make Daddy happy.

One refrain is, “YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF (or s***) up.
The real question is why would ANYONE want to make this s*** up?
It’s the perverted, demented speak of a mental ill man who belongs in a 24-hour, guarded, care setting.
Unfortunately, he already has it - it’s called the White House.

After watching a disrespectful Rand Paul outrageously lie in the hearing today with Dr. Susan Monarez, I would go BLIND before I would seek ophthalmic care from that MoFo.
He’s a disgraceful, know-it-all fool who knows nothing. Proof? Ask Senator Cassidy about HEP-B vaccine in infants.
