Tom Toles for June 12, 2017

Anyone else wonder why GOP leadership is so mean-spirited?

@DRDON1; It’s because they are Abby-Normal!

I posted this somewhere, some months ago: Well now, if one looks to the original, archaic definition of “terrific,” i. e. “causing terror,” one might indeed describe the new RepublicansDon’tCare Potemkin health-care plan as “terrific.” It’s a hideous, patched together, brain-damaged Frankenstein’s Monster of a bill that will indeed terrorize its creators, as well as anyone else who has the sad misfortune of having to deal with it. Let it die aborning.

TOLES THROWS A BOMB – {a rhyme}

Ever so clever,

he nails it, does Tom.

Whatever their endeavor,

Toles throws a bomb

which blows their pretense

that they’ve got any sense.

… {For instance, here re the AHCA,

Repugnantans ain’t got no sense. No way.}

THE PERSISTENT REPCONG – {a limerick}

Congress’s Rs {the “RepCong”}

DOCTORED BY LEECHES – {1.60 limericks and a coda}

Citizens shouldn’t heed th’

ever-fibbing media.

It’s poo that they feed ya

so’s to mislead ya.

The TRUTH: – We’ve guaranteed ya

health-care galore

even if you’re {poor} pore.

Our PLAN: Our leeches will bleed ya.

… Coda:

You’re bled by our leechers, -

- slimy creatures

who leech dollar bills

from your aches and your ills.

=========

AHCA. Affordable to whom?

They have the “Act” part correct.

The GOP certainly has certainly done considerable damage to the ACA in the process of doing nothing to bring forth their “better” bill. And who suffers….Americans.

Republicans are infested with greed and malice.

“Heal the sick”? I thought the purpose of healthcare reform was to figure out ways to make for-profit healthcare related companies more profitable.

From the party that can’t put together legislation and can only vote no. We get healthcare that doesn’t cover anyone and rewards the rich. That sounds like their infrastructure plan, reward the rich and tear out all the roads the little people used to use.

or undead.

“Millions of Americans will soon be without coverage.” — MDAVIS

Yes, the Republicans spiteful actions to gut the ACA and make it ineffectual are disgraceful. It’s true they only care about the top 1% leaving everyone else behind.

And Anthem, et. al. have said they are leaving because of the UNCERTAINTY of what the Trump admin and Republican Congress will do.

“AHCA” All Hail Corporate America.

Americans are not quite ready yet to vindicate Churchill’s observation that Americans always do the right thing after they’ve tried everything else. But they’re getting closer. Single payer will eventually happen, so stay healthy in the meantime.
