coorslite21 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 There certainly are issues with the health care proposals. As for Obama and his view, he may be right....but he created a failed program himself which was supposed to be his "legacy" legislation. Perhaps this is just sour grapes on his part. As to the other link.......yes there is a thin margin in the Senate. The sad part in all of this is the dysfunction of the 2 party system. They seem to have no interest in trying to work together for the good of the American people. What will make Trump a great President is if he can somehow make that happen. Reagan and Bill Clinton were able to accomplish a good deal of positive things for the country even when the opposing party held both houses. Time will tell.........things seem to be pretty stacked against Trump........but I wouldn't bet against him.........JMO as always.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFuryUSCZ Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Some are saying they can't get on board because, once again, it's ho'bummer's same old Bill with a few of the words tweaked... So if it's still pretty much ho'bummer-lack-o-care, what are the leftists kicking about...? And why all their caustic, hair-on-fire rhetoric over a Bill none of them have even read yet...? Coming to the podium with prepared statements written before ANY of them even had a chance to read the damned thing, and screaming about Repubs murdering the masses with this thing... Their claims that " it's only making the rich richer point out that those "rich" are the massive Insurance Companies... But they wouldn't say THAT out loud... oh, no, no, no... as SO many of those giant Insurers throw money at their campaigns. Tsk, tsk... shame, shame, shame... Gubment needs to get out of the HealthCare bidniz. . Edited June 23, 2017 by SgtFuryUSCZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md11fr8dawg Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Please stop bringing this "Failed Fool's Presidency" up for discussion.

He is like and inflamed boil on the country's ass that we cannot lance!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtFuryUSCZ Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 kids... it is what it is... ho'bummer's dicktater-ship has not ended... he's still a deep-state operative, a tool-for-evil, still in charge of taking down our Republic. Incapable of bowing out gracefully and dedicating himself to charitable works and good deeds, he has ASSembled a veritable who's-who of evil, formed the caustic "resist" movement to encourage further chaos, continues to accept millions for speeches to those orgs he accuses of getting rich off the health-care bills, pursuing the fake climate-change ruse because it's SO lucrative for him and his partners-in-crime, and generally being the same LIAR he's always been by going back on his word to support President Trump.. Why are ya'll shocked he keeps poppin' up like a whack-a-mole all over the place...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
