my nomination for shittiest job in the world.... capitol police officer. you take the job thinking you're part of an elite security team tasked with protecting our democracy and you end up dragging people out of their wheelchairs.
I'm also too through with the media (even PBS NewsHour) calling this another "Republican attempt at healthcare REFORM." Destruction should never be called reform.
As for Miss Lindsay, I mean Senator Graham Cracker, if he'd shown up years ago at my box at the Kentucky Derby and complimented my hat, I might have let him buy me a mint julep, but I doubt it.
Graham participated in the Republican obstruction all throughout Obama's presidency. He certainly tried to block the ACA, and definitely helped us not get a public option.
Like every other Republican, he is shit. Being a Republican requires it of him. He could switch parties like Arlen Specter did, but he chooses not to.
And for the record, McCain / Murkowski / Collins are shit too. They are just as guilty as Graham of opposing the ACA / public option. Just because they are occasionally casting the right votes now doesn't mean that they are decent people. Most likely they are motivated by fear of their constituents, desire to project a good public image, revenge against Trump, or some other selfish petty motive. But the public good ... ? Not even a consideration to them.
If this doesn't tell you something is very wrong with the guys deciding on the healthcare of millions, something something and the plane you flew in on.
Luther Strange needed my campaign advice.For example, campaign slogan: Strange is More, and Moore is strange.
Oh, dear, I read that as: Something something as far as you can throw him under the bus...

Cassidy wasn't yawning. That's just how he swallows people's souls.
Ah, he's just a big ol' teddy bear. Let's give him his bill...

They WERE going to have the empty refrigerator box, but Rand Paul thought it was too much, so now it's just the firing squad.
Another reason why I did not renew my 3 PBS/NPR subscriptions this year. They are unable to rise above others framing the story.

Wait!! The bill is dead again!!
Sadly, his bullshit "National Board of Opthamology" died completely or I'm sure they would offer C-G a ringing endorsement.
You call this crowd control? Where are the police dogs and the fire hoses?
A good friend of mine may have been there, in her wheelchair. (And I wish her MS on Trump and the rest.)
But you'll be glad to know that, just this morning, I've come up with a fancy logo for the fight to replace the ACA: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
What'cha think, Wonketteers?
