LOL We're just monkeys swinging on the trees (or the Internet).
Enjoy it!

Since we're on the subject of truth, do you really believe the GOP sincerely thought their House bills to repeal the ACA could ever be passed into law?

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

No, I think the GOP lost the faith that the Democrats and the President would do the right thing on the ACA some time ago. It doesn't mean you stop trying.

Really? So you would want a Dem controlled congress to repeatedly do something they knew would fail?

Why? Have you not heard what the definition of insanity is:

Repeating the same experiment over and over again, and expecting different results


How can you be happy people keep beating their head against the wall instead of attempting a different approach?

If what they're doing is the right thing, why not?

What other options would you recommend the Republican House do to end the ACA that they didn't try?

And Right thing doesn't equal the GOP or conservative thing though.

Actually I kind of think it does. When your party controls one house of Congress and the President who made the ACA his signature legislation was re-elected, that's the time to move on and do something productive.

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

If the most productive thing you can accomplish is an ACA repeal given the electoral realities in the House and Senate, why not do it?

I think that's an excellent explanation for why I keep responding to you, even though you refuse to respond to me. I'm just doing what's right.

Global warming is a myth. Life begins at conception. Women are sluts.

That was my fb morning.

Stop your war on women already - very few women are sluts.
For dry people - joke reply to joke post.

Very few Muslims are jihadists. Stop your war on Islam!

...totally stolen for the next (hundred or so) time that I have to debunk the crap my cousin puts on her FB...

"What was more important for them to do? Furthermore, what did they not have time to do that they would have had time for had they not voted to repeal the ACA a bunch of times?"

Maybe the truest meaning of the words "narrow minded" ... when jobs, highway bills, immigration and about a million other things do not fit the category of "What was more important". I think the one single most important thing at this point is to convince people this narrow mind approach does nothing to improve our society.

Except they also passed bills regarding things like jobs as well. Working on repealing the ACA did not take away from other necessary work.

You mean things like tax cuts, deregulation, and tort reform, right?

[mjlegel.livejournal.com]

They can call them jobs bill but if you have read any of them you know that is bull shit.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Right. And where are those jobs? Didn't those bills mostly relate to tax cuts on the rich, in blind faith to the failed trickle-down theory?

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately for Jeff, this is aimed at the idiots on HIS side, who continue to propagate right-wing lies about the ACA, Obama's record for executive orders compared to other presidents' and much, much more.

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

What's great about it is that it can work on both sides, such as the nonfactual Facebook stuff that's shared here on occasion.

Or, like, when people say that most of the nation is buying from the individual market, and that even more have no insurance at all. Or believe in the pay gap.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but it won't wash. It's aimed at you and your ilk, Jeff, no matter how you may color it.

[geezer-also.livejournal.com]

You think the number of executive orders matters more than the what of executive orders?

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I suspect that party of the president who gives the executive order
matters even more.

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

Abso-fucking-lutely, D Duck. Especially when the person being attacked for issuing them is black--and the fact that his executive orders are no less controversial than others issued by other presidents. Face it, Donald; if you look at all the actual executive orders over the years, you'll find that none of them are any more or less controversial than those of this president. It just happens that this president is a black Democrat, so his are of course considered more outrageous.

Wake up and smell the coffee, duck.
