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….

The lack of outrage is doing me in…
Well…I have been working on trying to circumvent the lack of outrage lately but trying to make some faux outrage…is not working at all so I really don’t know what to write about…politics has reached the level of absurdity that I can’t top with the repubs going off the rails constantly…I really can’t believe how crazy these folks have gotten…the latest one that has me shaking my head is an editorial in the Detroit News yesterday arguing against medicaid expansion here in Michigan since when it was done in other states, not as many people signed up as was projected so we should not make it available to anyone who can’t afford insurance….or the other day, too…when ole Steven King. R from crazyland, said that he could spot an illegal immigrant from their “cantalope sized calves” that they get from carrying 75 pounds of drugs across the border…and sadly, I’m not making this up….then in another fit of the crazy…there are about 14 repub senators who say they will crash the world economy unless Obamacare is repealed…going along with ole Boehner who says that he will hold the debt ceiling hostage unless every safety net is destroyed….never mind that before Obama, the debt ceiling was raised 57 times with no drama…I wonder what the difference is now…hmmmm…could it be because the repubs are a bunch of racist hacks? No wonder the repub controlled congress is at the lowest approval rating in history…we just need to do something to throw these know-nothing idiots out in 2014…geez…
I don’t understand
Well…one of the things that I am having a hard time understanding is why anyone keeps listening to people, (commentators, politicians, etc.), who have been proven to be wrong so many times. Back when I was growing up, people took pride in identifying the idiots and then not paying any attention to them. These days, it appears that it is a requirement for political life to try to be as unreasonable as possible. In what other era would an empty vessel like Sarah Palin be able to make 12 million dollars in less than a year with a resume like hers? And to top that, people also take her political views seriously when they are shallow and simplistic at best…I think we see this because simplicity has become a virtue and nuance the enemy of success in the political arena.
I think we need a new era of reasonableness in daily life and politics in the country…not the threats of forming militias (like in Oklahoma) to “protect” themselves from the federal government. Last time, that didn’t work out too well for the south…geez….
