But the real questions now is "Bannon Jack Cade?"

I know - it does feel like Bizzarro World where nothing makes any sense.

The refrigerator statistic fascinates. Clearly poor people should not have an f*cking food to be putting in a refrigerator. Some of them even have indoor plumbing.

Thank yer Gawd you're not in some mooslim country where the faithful have an obligation to feed the poor.

Half the time I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I mean, WTF? I'm used to the usual Republican dickery, but we've reached a whole new level of crazy with Trump and company. On top of the Russian craziness, we have a perfectly good health care system (which was the ONE good idea the GOP ever had) that Republicans are trying to destroy, instead of fix. It makes NO sense to a semi-sane person like me. They could expand it to all 50 states, and say "look, we fixed it!" but instead they'd rather just screw everyone over.

He came in under the Alt Statute of Liberty that reads: "Give us your tired worn out neo-Fascist dictators and their followers." See also, disenfranchised Batista followers from Cuba.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Didn't they deliberately draft a replacement that was intended to fail? I thought the plan was to repeal, then blame the lack of replace on Democrats.

I adore Nancy SMASH Pelosi very much. But even within full context, "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it" was an unfortunate turn of phrase. Just giving the the ratfckers ammunition.

Still, I love her calm reasoned Tweets explaining succinctly how the ACA was indeed NOT rushed through, despite what the lying liar Kremlin stooges might say.

"We were shocked to find that poor people had kitchens equipped with common appliances. We expected to find women huddled over fires in the back yard."- Stuart Varney, That Time I Went to the Ghetto (2006)

It's all shock doctrine bullshit designed to keep everyone occupied while they loot every buttonhole and doorknob they can get their greasy, stunted fingers on. The details are relatively unimportant to the guys pulling the strings. As long as it generally dovetails with the ideology; cut taxes on the rich, cut regulations of any kind, cheapen labor, fuck the poor, fuck the middle class, fuck the browns, etc., they don't care. If it doesn't make sense, fine. All the more confusion sown.

The tumbrels cannot come soon enough.

I've had my tar and feathers at the ready since about 2002.

Plan B. Trump never expected to win, but all the cheating worked. They don't expect this to pass, but look at it go!
