(92,131 posts)trump threatened he would do everything to see that the ACA "exploded", Lieu characterized trump as a truly EVIL person
He is
This administration goes out of their way to actually try to hurt Americans.
95% of his appointments to various departments, are to people who want to destroy those departments.
What kind of a sick person does that?

(2,302 posts)THANK YOU for your opposition to the health care bill! I understand you were one of those in the House who was against it.
The ACA has helped many of my relatives to get affordable insurance with good coverage. Even I had to use it when my husband retired a year early and his plan didn't cover me.
Although I know you were against it because you and the rest of the Freedom Caucus though it was too "generous," I thank you for showing who you really owe your allegiance to: insurance and drug companies.
Way to go!

http://www.businessinsider.com/house-republican-freedom-caucus-shuts-down-steve-bannon-trumpcare-2017-3
But those in the Freedom Caucus weren't buying into Bannon's opening gambit. " You know, the last time someone ordered me to something, I was 18 years old. And it was my daddy. And I didn't listen to him, either," said one member of the caucus.
The meeting was part of an effort by the Trump administration to woo Freedom Caucus members without their support, the bill was doomed.
The tweet in the OP confirms that tRump has declared war on them. The self-styled Freedom Caucus represent the hardest core of the tRump base.

(17,276 posts)He thinks he's CEO of all the Repubs. I guess not!
Let's see: they won't work with him and he won't work with them. They won't work with Dems either, naturally. Nobody's going to get anything done.
And then there is the Russian investigation.

Doesn't work that way in government. Thank God. Trump's policies are horrendous . They would be horrendous for a corporation.

Surely you must know that with a GOP majority in the House, your own incompetence and lack of engagement or skills in closing a deal helped sink this! Take a bow!

(17,276 posts)We knew he would do that. It is everyone's fault but his own!
He'll probably be throwing in the towel on more and more issues. It's just too hard! Who knew being President was so hard? Obama made it look easy!
(he probably thought: If a black man can do it so easily, how much easier for himself, a white man, and a brilliant one, at that?)
Ha. Ha. Ha. He and the repubs are the dog who's finally caught the school bus. Now what are they going to do with it?

And just so you know, DEMOCRATS did this, despite a Republican majority. They were united, which is something you and Ryan couldn't do.

(4,407 posts)Many, if not most, of the people I know who were all about the Tea Party quickly abandoned Cruz and jumped enthusiastically onto the Trump train. Now Trump is going to war with the Freedumb Caucus/Tea Party sect of the party, I wonder how these people will react?

(6,974 posts)The Freedom Caucus who allegedly doesn't believe in wasteful government didn't think that the $880 BILLION dollars cut from Medicaid so it could be transferred to the richest 1% was ENOUGH. The Freedom Caucus only cares if the "waste" goes to those who really need help IE: Help with health care costs. The Freedom Caucus, only cares that the rich/wealthy are able to purchase quality health insurance. People they don't care about could DIE for all they care, because although O-Care has it's flaws, millions of people who'd never had health insurance/health care of any kind were insured for the first time.
As for Lyin' Ryan and the rest of the GOP, they had 7 years to "fix" (DESTROY) health care, but their LIE of wanting to "fix" (DESTROY) health care was exposed, because all they ever wanted to do was get that "uppity" ni@@er's name off of anything remotely resembling health care which actually helped people who were not insured stay alive. The GOP wanted to make sure that Medicaid for the poor/elderly/etc. was cut, and whatever that cut ended up being ($880 BILLION), transfer it up to the richest 1% who don't even NEED tax cuts and to line the bulging pockets also of big pharma & insurance companies. putin's LYING puppet didn't give one damn about a health care bill PERIOD. He LIED on the campaign trail, promised great almost FREE health care to ALL which he claimed would be "Better than disastrous Obamacare." He got his ass kicked and his installed presidency wounded in round 1 by the party he co-opted this past Friday, and then like the lying, rotten failure he IS, he blamed Dems and anybody else for HIS failure. The GOP never wanted to "fix" (DESTROY) Obamacare, only replace it with something which was really worse and inferior to O-Care: Don't Care.
The Art of NO DEAL tRumputin has thrown Lyin' Ryan under their Don't Care bus, courtesy via that rotten barracuda over at Faux Noose Jeanine Pirro who told Eddie to resign his Speakership.
Tell the truth and SHAME the DEVILS (Freedom Caucus, tRumputin, Ryan).
