Tom Toles for May 07, 2017

If the Senate Republican’s are as dumb, greedy, and crooked as in the House, and in debt as deep to the insurance and pharmaceutical companies, it ain’t good. Hopefully, they aren’t.

Sadly they aren’t “dumb” they are evil. Dying of the weak, weeding them out of the population is perfectly fine with them their cold hearted savages.

HEALTHCARE FIASCO – {a rhyme}

Tweet to The Donald: – Think {again} ag’in!!

This health-care fiasco isn’t a “win”, -

- not by the hair on our chinny-chin-chin.

It’s merely your raucously strident din

when you press your ideas to America’s chagrin.

TRUMPISM-DESCRIPTORS which end with “…ent” – - – {a limerick} {an exercise in rhyming unaccented last syllables}

This regime is already decadent,

bumbling to America’s detriment.

Yuuge the dishevelment.

Disasters are imminent.

Here’s hoping it won’t be permanent.

They’re increasing threat-wise:

ANARCHIST MILITIAS – {a rhyme and an image}

Someone should stifle

the National Rifle

Association.

Too much they trifle

with the good of our nation.

Weaponized strife’ll

ignite conflagration.

“Second Amendment Rights”, my arse.

Their reading of this is a dangerous farce.

But remember; “No One dies from a lack of health care!” And they actually believe this, too!

Trump and the Republicans House had a beer party as if they had won everything. Now the Republican Senate will totally mess with it. Trump is such a loser.

Republicans, stealing granma’s purse so they can give the one percent bigger tax breaks.

Sorry, Gran. Can’t have a win unless someone loses!

It never made sense to me to rush this bill to a vote—the “100 days” thing was purely arbitrary. It turns out that nobody actually read the damn thing! Here’s hoping that the Senate will.

Btw, giving a “win” to our dumbest, most dishonest, and most insane president ever is the action of a loser.

Gotta get rid of the useless eaters, says I. And Ayn Rand.

Next, on to taking candy from a baby; ie: School lunch programs.

It’s fascinating how, despite their fanaticism, the republicans have never answered the question: “What is it about repealing and replacing Obamacare that makes rational sense?” All you get is dessembling and diversionary bs. This seems true for ALL of their “policy ideas.” The republicans have no meaningful answe to the contemporary challenges we face as Americans, much less as humans. What even worse, they have zero policy ideas for future conditions that WE KNOW ARE HAPPENING!. It’s like they in some sort of a mental fugue, where rational thought and action is impossible.

So it’s not as good as either a public option or Medicare for all. So what? The ACA is a good start. It is incomprehensible how these people think. I’ve often asked the question if their ignorance is real, or simply a ruse to fool their ignorant base. They can’t actually believe their crap, can they? So fairness doesn’t matter? The ER is the best place to deliver “publicly-financed” health care? The sick are always culpable for their illness? The poor are poor and just let them die? The rich are rich because they deserve to live more than the poor? A few pennies per mcf of natural gas are worth more than fouling the atmosphere? Xenophobia, misogyny, and racism are good for America? Public education for all is bad for kids? Union workers shouldn’t be able to organize because the employer should have all the power? Markets always work better when unregulated? Religion should have a prominent place in the public sphere? On and on, and on the stupidity flows like raw effluent from a sewer.

I’ve read and listened and paid attention to them. The ignorance and nonsense is stunning. Can one right winger who is not a Russian troll explain what is going on with the whole Obamacare imbroglio? All I see is their racism used as a feeble excuse for the original complaint, and now the apparent compulsion to follow through on their stupidity with their ignorant base
