Pretty soon, the only medical conditions that will be covered in the United States will be narcissism and compulsive lying. Fortunately, Republicans don’t realize that the narcissism umbrella will cover almost everyone!
Just brilliant, getting rid of Obamacare while protecting those with pre-existing conditions. If you don’t have any coverage you don’t have to worry about pre-existing conditions clauses.
With a wave of his hand Biden parted the Red States and Trump and the GOP on their golden chariots chased him in the polls only to be wiped out by the giant Blue Wave.
Similar to a part in the Bible that Trump never read.
Just as an interesting historical side note, I only recently learned that Trump’s grandfather — the one kicked out of Bavaria for being a draft dodger — died in 1918 from the influenza pandemic.
Even if the repubs get booted out in November, they will still have the republican play book, with the chapters by Gingrich, Boehner and McConnell about obstruction & stonewalling.
The crazy part is that the ACA started as a GOP proposal. Every idea from what’s left of the center of the GOP for the last 30 years, they’ve turned on with vehemence as soon as the dems said “Okay.”
Rubio voted against his own bill with his name on it for immigration reform.
Ironically enough the original plan that became the Affordable Care Act (the so-called “Obamacare”) was originally proposed by a Republican. Why can’t they take the credit and run with that?
The CDC has given up. The anti science Trump coward admin let the deadly contagious virus spread too much in the USA and now it is officially out of control.
The CDC surrenders: COVID-19 spreading too rapidly to be brought under control
CDC, Dr. Anne Schuchat. “We’re not in the situation of New Zealand or Singapore or Korea where a new case is rapidly identified and all the contacts are traced and people are isolated who are sick and people who are exposed are quarantined and they can keep things under control,” said Schuchat. “We have way too much virus across the country for that right now, so it’s very discouraging.”
It’s not just discouraging. It’s enraging. The virus may be a natural development that evolved from a related infection of wildlife. But the reaction to that virus was a series of human choices.
Europe doesn’t even want the USA to visit them. We have more covid deaths than any other nation in the world. Lying and denying Republicans totally ignored American know how and went with chaos.
Well, if EVERY REPUBLICAN Senator is defeated in 2020, and all of the Democrat Senators are reelected – then the Senate will be 66 Democrat . . . 33 Republican . . . and 1 independent (who votes with the Democrats).
And then the REAL FUN will begin. Starting with a conviction on every judicial impeachment of every unqualified hack that Treasonweasel Trump and Moscow Mitch greased up and slipped onto the court. Starting with the two sexual predators on the Supreme Court – both of which are guilty of lying while under oath during their respective confirmation hearings.

As so many have commented, it’s insanity to try to get rid of health care during a pandemic. Gives me chills!

Atrocious Obsessions – {4 beats/line}
The RepCong and Trump share atrocious obsessions
with notions which Democrats see as transgressions
against civility’s long-cherished norms.
We watch aghast as our nation transforms: -
√ re Elections: – chaos and voter-suppressions.
√ re Healthcare: – systemic retrogressions.
√ re Economics: – worsened recessions.
√ re Rights: – the race and the gender oppressions.

(A cruel rhyme in imitation of Hilaire Belloc’s “Cautionary Tales.”)
”Elwood: Who was Existentially Selfish and Thus Ostracized”
(With apologies to ostriches) (—
Elwood T. Phant was a selfish brat,
His nickname was “Elly” (He resented that!)
Anything nice he grabbed just for him,
Sharing with others he took a view dim.
.
Just to be rotten, he’d ever complain;
It drove those around him nearly insane.
This got to be so obnoxiously bad
That bitching was all the fun Elwood had.
.
He lost any friends, the few he detected;
Others avoided him as one infected.
So selfish was he, he sneered at the health
Of those with insufficient wealth.
.
… And other things, too many to tell.
So “Elly” Phant damned himself to Hell.
Oh, not that one! Just to be cast out,
In “Amen Corner” to whine and pout.
.
Elwood T. Phant had only to say
He was sorry, and then be able to play
With others again, not indulge selfish whim —
But that he’d not do, so to hell with him!
