You are all incredibly sssstttuu....... Well okay, let's put this way:
After 7 years and more than 60 votes to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, the GOP finally had its moment. They control the White House, they control the House of Representatives, AND they control the Senate. They have had SEVEN YEARS to carefully and exhaustively craft the "tremendous" replacement for the ACA they swore was coming on DAY ONE when they finally got into power.
Shockingly enough, it turns out the GOP is far better at bitching about other people governing than actually doing any sort of governing themselves. So much so, that they have even caused FOX News to say WTF!?
Second, it was a ticking time bomb set to DESTROY MEDICARE by turning it into a capped block grant program that wouldn't be able to cover the needed numbers of recipients even in the first year. Then it would require denying benefits to more and more people every year after. It is a move purposely designed to kill the entire Medicare program.
But the good news is, it is clear Trump, Ryan and the rest of the Congressional Republicans were not able to find their own asses with both hands. The "tremendous negotiator" had no idea how a bill becomes law. let alone how to move a legislative priority through congress. So he deferred to House Speaker Paul Ryan, a man who truly hates poor people and hates any program designed to help poor people, even more.
The hard truth about Paul Ryan is this; He is not a leader. Not in any way shape or form, he was the default choice for Speaker of the House as he was the only Republican not visibly crazy, who was willing to take the job.
As Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan was completely unable to lead the Republicans in Congress in any cohesive, collective way. The Ryan Trojan Horse was too cruel for moderate Republicans and not cruel enough for the "Freedom Caucus" (aka, the wing nuts formerly known as the Tea Party).
So Trump Voters, how is that cheaper, better health insurance and all those new coal mining jobs working out for you ?
If you voted for Donald Trump you either are a White Supremacist, or just plain stupid.
Take Your Pick.

Lets be clear about what happened yesterday. The GOP health care plan had nothing to do with health care. The Ryan/Trump/whateverthehellyoucallit plan was a Trojan horse to do two things; First, give massive tax cuts to the top 2% of the US economic ladder, and to pay for it by TAKING AWAY health insurance from 24 MILLION AMERICANS.

So at the end of the day when the whole thing blew up in their faces, what did President Trump do? He blamed the Democrats, and told a stream of more easily debunked lies about the ACA of course. To the point where even Republicans on cable news panels were embarrassed.
Meanwhile in addition to yesterday's signature legislative failure, that whole Russia thing clearly isn't going away anytime soon, and... and... and....
If you voted for Donald Trump you either are a White Supremacist, or just plain stupid.
Take Your Pick.
