This may sound ridiculous, but the Republicans have given us so many scandals to deal with at once that we actually have to forget about the GOP LETTING RUSSIA STEAL THE LAST ELECTION for a moment, and concentrate on HOW THE GOP IS ABOUT TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
McConnell is about to pull another underhanded trick while we're all distracted watching Trump fuck around with Boris and Natashia from the KGB. He's about to introduce another WEALTHCARE BILL. The law says the Senate can't vote on a bill that hasn't been scored; but apparently there is no law that says it has to be scored by the CBO. So, McConnell will essentially introduce the same bill he did last time, with a minor cosmetic change (the Cruz amendment), and then get some hocus-pocus VOODOO ECONOMICS think thank to score it instead of the CBO. Then they'll take a vote on the bill BEFORE it can be scored by the official CBO.

I say...FUCK YOU, McCONNELL! We're not falling for your slight of hand trick. THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS, and 20 million people will STILL be robbed of their healthcare!

(2,654 posts)It has been over twenty years since I saw the episode, but I think that is how it went. After all the physical and mental torture which Picard received from his captor, his mind had reached the breaking point and was willing to accept the indoctrination presented to him.

Love that Trek episode.

(5,953 posts)I'm hoping it will become a THING! Every time the GOP or Trump tries to bend the truth with voodoo economics, dynamic scoring, alternative facts, or other brainwashing devices, I'm hoping people will just say 'no, there are FOUR lights!' And everyone will get the reference.

(9,426 posts)put their money where their mouth is, maybe he can get this thing through? Let them ALL sign onto to this craptastic
"healthcare" bill, give up their Cadillac healthcare for life. How many of them have pre existing conditions which disqualifies them for coverage? The chinless wonder that is McConnell is a fraud and a traitor. Ryan is cut from the exact same cloth. The gop has their perfect rep in the WH, a slow witted buffoon, who will do what they tell him as long as they keep complimenting him.
