Ann Coulter: "Trump is too lazy to cal Mitch McConnel"
she was 100% right on that one
ye
or maybe he could, but mitch would probably want capitulation on the immigration issue
a bridge too far for the trump base, so we get a intra-party stale mate instead
Sounds reasonable
it's what a moist vagina would do, just like Obama with Joe Lieberman on Obamacare. The appropriate response to fight that guy and get heat on him
Which is why I call Trump Obama 2.0, he's even wimpier than Obama
lol
careful, your fascist is showing
(re: pelth's comment)
Obama ran as a consensus builder
he was not willing to tell the opposition to go fuck themselves in his first term
Because thats not how you rule a fucking country
the opposition represents half of the country
Well Obama pretty much gimped his signature bill by not challenging Joe Lieberman, whom was clearly in the pocket of big Pharma
Kiling public option is what turned obamacare into a shitshow, for the most part
and I mean when they foguht obama on other issues, he just said 'fuck you' and did like 8-10 executive orders
(not saying obamacare was a good idea, but obama caving on that is what brings us to our current situation where medicare-for-all is one of the most important electoral issues, at least for dems)
```But Lieberman – a professed liberal who supports access to abortion, gun control and some gay rights – infuriated former allies and Democratic voters in his own state with support for George Bush's war in Iraq, and astonished them by campaigning for John McCain and Palin in last year's presidential election.
Now, in the view of some, he is plumbing new depths of betrayal by using his deciding vote as an independent member of the Senate to hold hostage Barack Obama's reform of America's dysfunctional healthcare system.```
you're forgetting the many years inbetween
Obama left healthcare to the legislature
well that's same thing Trump and his people can say about everything too right?
"don't blame me, blame congress"
Obamacare is garbage tbh
Theres a town in Kenya called Ubunga
Well yea it was edited by the insurance industry and big pharma, lieberman's wife worked for them, was a consultant for them ,etc
The whole point of Obamacare was the public option, without it, it was pointless
And it cancelled a ton of people's private plans
it did, but that was the point of the public option, it was a 'lite' former of what people want with medicare for all
i would prefer reform in the other, more market oriented direction, but they have their influence to make sure the regulation works against that too
Like we see when the FDA helps big pharma crush small companies
Yeah I agree
Government is part of the reason why healthcare is so expensive
sort of, but i think stating it that way really misses the true essence, the previous 'big businesses' of the industry gave us the FDA and similar to begin with
and the AMA is the most powerful union in the country
ALLAH IS THE ONLY GOVERNMENT
