It’s truly fantastic. These dumbfucks think that 1) removing the ACA 2) without a viable replacement...is a winning strategy for them.
Check out the polling on the issue. Watching the GOP gleefully and triumphantly commit suicide actually makes ole negative Brisket smile.

They have no idea how to do it. Why not fix Obamacare instead of scrapping it? Oh yeah, it wouldn't own the libs.

Republicans have only had [checks notes] a decade to come up with a replacement.

Last month, the Dems flipped WI, MI, PA, and AZ.   Florida, Georgia, and NC were put into play.  

Trump/GOP candidate has to win 5 of those 7 states, 6 if he loses Florida.  

GOP looks Hell-bent on giving up a lot of EVs in 2020.

I’m not an optimist (would be against my brand). But if the GOP was hellbent on losing votes, this would be how.

Trump is a dumb fuck

He probably thinks it's not the law anymore.

That's how stupid he is.

You know with absolute certainty that someone is having to tell him that’s not how that works.

"Mr. President, this is a political stunt by a U.S. district judge in Texas. Obamacare isn't going anywhere because you are politically impotent and couldn't get it overturned. John McCain burned you good, sucka."

That judge’s decision is hilarious. The Trump DOJ was not advocating equality for the whole law to be struck down.

The holding is basically:

“This law originally had a bunch of parts.” One of those parts is unconstitutional. Now, that part was recently removed in 2017 by duly enacted legislation which kept most of the other parts.

HOWEVER, that part can’t be taken out so...because the ACA had the unconstitutional part many years ago, and I think you can’t take it out, now I’m striking down the new version altogether.”

* Bonus point: THIS is what an activist ruling looks like.

Odds that Trump signs it?  100% as long as nobody tells him the guys parents were the Muslims criticizing him at the Dems’ convention.  

Interesting though, feels like Congress is feeling their oats.

I like how he crows about telling us the ACA was unconstitutional all along when the judge is actually saying he thinks it's unconstitutional without an individual mandate...and it doesn't have the individual mandate anymore because the GOP Congress voted to remove it and he signed it into law.

 

Trump really does have dizzying intellect.  I mean the guy is fucking mess.   He didn't want a acting CoS, so he and his first pick, Ayers, couldn't get a deal done.

After looking like an ass for 2 days, he accepts the 43rd guy he asked to do it, but this smuck would only do it if........ it was on an acting basis!

But rather than just go back to Ayers, because he's probably a better choice, Trump's ego won't allow it to happen so he's stuck with Mulvaney on the same terms Ayers wanted.  Talk about self-ownage.

It's going to be so funny when Democrats control both houses of Congress and the White House in 2021 after running on health care.

thought Trump already had this since he campaigned on having a cheeper, better alternative.  Why is he punting to Democrats when he had two years to install something better and build a better legacy for himself?

They just took the knife they thought they were using to cut a bitch with and lodged it in their own abdomen.  We'll show you, we'll destroy something in a Democracy that has shown in every poll to be something everybody wants.  Now who wins?   At some point, a normal person can't help wincing and thinking, that's gotta hurt.

I wonder what their end game strategy on this issue is.

repealing with no replacement bills did the WORST out of all of the so called “healthcare plans” the repubs tried to cook up.

Repubs probably think they can trick the American people by saying, “the courts killed Obamacare and not us” we will come up with a replacement, but the Dems are obstructing us!

 

thankfully, most people with an IQ over 50 will see right through it.

It looks like her kidneys are misplaced and that there may still be some swelling.

I guess those folks on the corner with the "will work for food" signs really aren't interested in honest work.

(someone finish on this alley-oop)

It's ok. Trump assured us over a year ago that he'd studied healthcare and NOBODY knew more about healthcare than him. He'll have this figured out in no time.

This article is fucking phenomenal.  It sums up his presidency so perfectly.  Everyone should read. One of my favorite lines:

Quote

outwardly Trump appears to do virtually no work at all beyond Monitoring News Coverage and dribbling out a thin stream of vinegary tweets recapping what he sees there in demented germanic capitalization

 

He presents it like he's doing magic.

From the deadspin article

It’s also true that the man himself, from his days as the most neediest lordling in New York City real estate to his later incarnation as a professional Twitter grouch, has never evinced caring at all about the suffering of any other living person or even appeared concerned about any question beyond would this impress Paula Abdul.

This phenomenon is actually fucking crazy.  In the past 10 years or so, Rs have completely and totally gone fucking insane.  It's like the Fox News/Limbaugh potion they were ingesting for 30 years all of a sudden took hold.  The only thing it was lacking was a trigger and, ho boy, get a black man into office and BAM!

I think this really needs to be recognized.  This isn't a difference in political ideologies.  It is a radical shift in objective reality.  You cannot have a functioning society where 1/3 of the populace have their brains addled to the point where they quite literally think that facts and truth are not real.  As has been said, Trump is not the biggest problem, he is merely a projection of a serious break from reality.

Anyone who hasn’t should just google “David Roth Trump” and read everything Roth has written on Trump. There’s probably nobody better. Most are at Deadspin but there’s one or two articles in the Baffler too.

Scott Walker. Book it.  

Dude will give companies what they want. 

Is Sid Miller busy?

I'd be shocked if Mick Mulvaney isn't called upon to do triple doody.
