Well…what must be in the repubs souls when all of them are okay with condemning 17,000 of their fellow Americans to certain death just to give tax cuts to the rich? That is the estimate of how many Americans WILL die if the repub plan replaces the ACA…let that one sink in for a minute…just because they hate Obama and the fact that the ACA helps people, they are willing to kill 17,000 Americans just to get their revenge and to pay off the millionaires and billionaires that bought them an election. This has got to be tied to every one of them at their town halls…ask them if they are okay with killing 17,000 Americans just to give the rich more of the country…and then ask their voters if they were voting to die when they voted for these assholes. I have a sinking feeling it won’t matter to the racists that voted these idiots in….they will rationalize it by saying “at least none of those damn Illegal immigrants are going to get healthcare”. That’s the thing, these voters want their racism more than they want their healthcare…and I fear they are willing to die and take a lot of other people with them to keep the racists in office….impeach….

The repubs are just sick…
Well…Paul Ryan and his repub cronies are just sick bastards and if you didn’t know it before, just listen to what they are crowing about today with their new “take healthcare away” law. In the CBO report, buried a little ways back, there is a 3 billion dollars a year saving for Social Security that these idiots are puffing their chests out about….but, as always, these sick bastards didn’t read the fine print…just guess where that 3 billion dollars comes from? C’mon, just one little guess…give up? It comes from the fact that more people will DIE from lack of healthcare before they apply for Social Security….so SS won’t have to pay out for those people that the repubs just took healthcare away from. Just a bunch of sick bastards is the only way to describe them….and to show pure glee that they can make people die earlier so they can cut taxes for the rich shows they just don’t give a damn about you and me…after all, these “people” just love causing pain…or I should say “causing freedom” as they gut the safety net…bastards all….impeach
The numbers are in for trumpcare….
Well…the non-partisan CBO numbers are in and they are just as ugly as they were projected to be…and they stab older people (the ones that voted for trump) more than any other cohort….but, first…24 million people will lose their health insurance under this giveaway to the rich…subsidies that make insurance affordable are being cut to the bone to give the rich a 300 billion dollar tax cut….the repubs are harping on the part of the report that states that the US will save 33 billion dollars a year by not subsidizing people and by cutting medicaid that provides insurance for the poor…but to me, putting 24 million of their fellow Americans back into financial peril by taking their insurance away defines the repub brand these days…they don’t give a damn about anyone but the rich…and they say they are providing “freedom” for people to chose their insurance..but what choice is it when 24 million people can no longer afford their insurance…and what “freedom” is it to the 20-24,000 more people who will die next year from not being able to afford healthcare? This is the modern repub party folks, they work so damn hard trying to make the country worse for everyone but the rich….dirtier water, dirtier air, and no healthcare are their goals….I wonder when the US people are going to wake up and reject this “freedom”…..impeach…
Paul Ryan is just not too bright…
Well…the guy in charge of “fixing” health insurance in this country has no clue how insurance works…let that sink in for a minute…Paul Ryan has no clue how insurance works and now want to “fix” the system. The other day, when giving a presentation on his plan, ole Paul decried the fact that healthy people had to pay premiums that would pay for healthcare for sick people who also paid premiums…I just slapped my head when I heard that…especially since that is exactly how insurance works…everyone pays into a pool and then the risk is spread across the entire insured population….but that’s not how repubs look at anything…any shared risk is “communism” in their eyes…and I heard another one of these idiots bitch the other day why any man should have to pay into a pool that covered maternity care…that right there is the problem with the repubs…they don’t believe in community or shared goals but just their own damn selfishness…they don’t want to pay for roads in other states, they don’t want to help their fellow Americans suffering natural disasters, and they sure don’t want to have to help pay for “women’s health” and all the icky stuff that goes along with that…I just hate these people..they have destroyed the sense of community that any country needs to survive….
Calling them stupid is too charitable….
Well…I know I did one of these with the same theme last week, but the story won’t die so I thought I’d weigh in on the new developments in “healthcare reform”. With the release of the repubs “unaffordable care act” yesterday, people are finally starting to realize that the repubs and trump are not going to make sure they have “the best health insurance” as trump so famously stated during the campaign, but they are going to gut the ACA and 30 million people are going to have to go without insurance again since it will no longer be affordable. And now, the media are talking to trump voters again, telling them how the law will affect them…that they are going to lose their insurance again….and the refrain that you hear most often from these idiots is that they “believed trump when he said he would make insurance more affordable”….now…there is no other conclusion that calling these people stupid is way too charitable…trump is a proven liar and there was so much evidence to not trust a word out of his mouth that there must be another reason they still voted for him….and against their own self interest…and I think it is ignorance, racism, and hatred that motivated these voters…after all, if they would have listened to anything but fox news, they would have known that the first thing Paul Ryan was going to do was to take away their insurance…but these idiot voters thought “Benghazi”, immigrants, and e-mails…all nothing burgers of issues were the most important thing they have ever heard and were enough for them to vote for an ignorant liar and his cronies. The problem here is that they didn’t just screw themselves, some of them have signed their own death warrants (now that is a “death panel”) since there are estimates that 15-20,000 extra people will die due to the lack of healthcare per year….and they screwed the entire country with their ignorance…and the kicker was many of these folks admitted they had never voted before but they “trusted” trump and felt a need to vote for him….I am just shaking my head about that little revelation….I guess the ignorants elected the ignorants….and we are all paying for it….
Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha…..
Well…just had to do another one of these about a little bit of news that just came over twitter….the ultra right wing of the repub party has just said that if the repub “healthcare” law is going to pass, it is going to need dem support. Now, I know that some of us dems have been delusional in thinking that you can work with the repubs when it is just not possible, but our delusions are not anywhere nearly crazy as the repubs thinking any one of us would support more giveaways to the rich and gutting a law that has helped get healthcare for 30 million of our fellow Americans. Just isn’t going to happen and Paul Ryan is the most delusional of them all when he says that he will have 218 votes for the law when it is put up for a vote…not gonna happen, Paul….the crazys on your right think that any law that restricts people’s freedom to die early from a lack of healthcare is communism…and you will never get the 30 of them to go along and you can be damn sure that no dem that wants to avoid being primaried is going to help you torch the ACA….you own this turd of a law…enjoy…
A health care turd…
Well…since I’m sitting here having my third cup of coffee, I thought I’d do a short comment on the repubs new “healthcare” plan that was introduced yesterday…I think turd really is the best descriptor for this piece of hatred directed at working people and the poor. How can covering 20 million fewer people and raising costs for everyone else be considered an improvement? Oh, okay, I get it…it is an improvement for the rich and for the insurance companies since the rich will get massive tax cuts (are you surprised? Is there nothing that the repubs think massive tax cuts for the rich won’t cure?) the poor lose Medicaid, and the insurance companies get to charge much, much more for the same coverage that people get now under the ACA. The contempt for the poor is evident in comments made by the idiot Jason Chaffetz when he said that the poor will have to decide between “healthcare or a new Iphone”…this from an idiot who has us pay for his healthcare…Jason, I have news for you… the $600 dollar cost of an Iphone doesn’t pay for anything when just getting a yearly checkup costs over $1500 dollars. They also rolled out the turdish idea of health savings accounts that would let people save money tax free for their healthcare…I hope you can see the flaw in this thinking…most of the people helped under the ACA barely make their payments as it is…where the hell are they going to come up with the thousands and thousands of dollars a year they would be on the hook for if the ACA goes away? The sick thing about all of the repub plan is that they shout “freedom” to justify screwing over the entire country (except for the rich)…how much freedom do you have when you go bankrupt from uncovered medical bills? I just hate these guys….
These are the bastards YOU elected…
Well…I slipped today and read a headline to an article that read: Tea Party giddy to repeal the ACA….
The first thing that came to mind is that these are the bastards that YOU people elected…anyone that can be giddy to take health insurance away from 30 million people who could never afford it before can only be described as bastards…and that these same bastards are now going to condemn millions of people to never getting health insurance again due to pre-existing conditions…and are going to condemn millions more to bankruptcy under crushing medical bills….but, these are the bastards YOU elected….enjoy going broke, idiots….
Toxic propaganda…
Well….have been trying to not think about politics for the past few weeks and with some success…but, this morning, a thought came into my head that I wanted to write about so here we go…..after the advent of modern mass media, there have been quite a few instances where the media has been used to spread lies to control the populations of many nations….I’m only going to talk about three today to try to make my point….during WWII, the entire media of Japan was used to make the allies into monsters….monsters that would murder all Japanese and eat their babies….and to such good effect that, while the war was winding down and we were invading Okinawa, tens of thousands of men, women, and children committed suicide rather than let themselves be captured by the “monsters”. In the Soviet Union from the 40′s to the 90′s, the propaganda machine there kept the people in a constant state of fear of the US invading…allowing the government of dictators to keep the people poor while spending most of their GDP on themselves and the military. And now, here in the US, the Fox news propaganda machine again has tricked people into voting against their own self interest….they elected Trump but never once reported on what the repubs were going to do to the old, white people who voted for them….SS and Medicare will be gone in the next few years and all of these people who depend on it…and who overwhelmingly voted for the repubs will be screwed..but the propaganda was so effective they just don’t care….and half of the 30 million people who will lose their healthcare gained under the ACA who voted for the repubs just didn’t care either….or didn’t believe what the repubs are going to do since they have been brainwashed by Fox to only believe Fox…just like in Japan and Russia….and are now going over the cliff….geez…
I still have opinions…
Well…it has been a week of staying away from the news but the little tidbits that I have seen by accident are exactly as I predicted…the 30 million people that got health insurance under Obamacare are shit out of luck…this is the first thing that Ryan has on his agenda for the end of January is to repeal it and let insurance companies do what they want….see, I still have opinions…but I need a couple of weeks to recover from the idiocy of the American people….okay, that’s enough of that stuff for now….I did break the handle on the glove box on the Miata today….damn…but I got a new latch assembly brand new from Moss Miata for only $12.90 so that was cool….I’ll have to find a video out on youtube to see how my lock tumbler goes in but it doesn’t look like too big of a job…I can still get it open with the broken latch so I can get to the fasteners that hold it in…it’s always something with a 22 year old car….
