Yeah
34 trillion is also fuckin crazy
This kind of stuff needs to be megaphoned by Republicans
Put this in ads against some house challengers.
Kara Eastman probably supports this, which makes Bacon's district even more red.
Looking over the article it seems that it would cost 35 trillion if the coverage was similar to a gold plan and 47 trillion if the coverage was similar to a platinum plan
If the dems were to implement single-payer, it'd be suicide for them, I think that's why it was blocked in California
In Vermont, they tried single-payer, in the 2014 governor election, the dem was expected to win easily, but only won by less than a point
"The President is bluffing. He's not going to shut down ANYTHING. People will look back at how he broke his central campaign promise." - Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)
Let's hope the nigress is wrong
We need to send Trump support for this plan to shut down the government
Ron Johnson (R-WI): Um, I don't think this shutdown talk is particularly helpful
Doesn't help when his own Congress is against him, we're all he's got
Tick tock recucklicans
We should send the White House hundreds of letters supporting a government shutdown in exchange for the wall
We know that the Congressional leadership is never going to give him what we want without pressure, he needs to put those fuckers in a vice
Letters would be specifically effective over going to the white house website because you really don't get a sense of scale with the internet, you can ignore it easy
A ton of fuckin mail on the other hand is much less easy to ignore
Reminds me of one madman from Alabama. He didn't like how they showed a kitten giving birth on television, and he sent so many letters that the TV Network stopped showing anything close to it.
Said that if he wanted to watch sex shows, he would go to the nightclub.
Two drivers drive towards each other on a collision course,
one must swerve, or both may die in the crash
the one who swerved will be called a chicken
in what sense?
in the sense that they were weak because they blinked and gave in
no I mean how is the situation like a game of chicken
The drivers (Trump & Congress) are essentially in a staring contest (collision course/spending debacle)
One side has to blink (swerve/give in to a particular spending bill) sooner or later
The thing about a crash is it's not exactly going to be catastrophic for Trump, they could give him what he wants after a shutdown
Although I could see Congress being slimy enough to pass a budget with override votes without a wall
Oh that's true
Although, I think in this case, the "crash" represents the time until the midterm elections
or the days/weeks leading up to it where all the voters would have made up their minds
Shutdown definitely wouldn't last any longer than a week
And the consequences of a wall will reach much further than a government shutdown
Unless a terrorist attack happens to a vulnerable US attachment during the shutdown
You know what's a good sign
(so far at least)
The White House hasn't issued a correction rebutting Trump
or there hasn't been a report about some cabinet member trying to talk Trump out of it
How do we fight against this?
