1. Nancy Pelosi!

Dan Rather! :Kyle Griffin!

Thank you!

[brer cat]

2. I agree with Pelosi.

This needs to be tattooed on their heads so that it will never be forgotten. Paul Ryan's "legacy" should be that he is mass murderer with no conscience, no soul.

[Cha]

3. "Paul Ryan's "legacy" should be that he is mass murderer with no conscience, no soul"

Precisely, brer! Thank you for supporting what Nancy has to say about these purveyors of Death.

[Blue Meany]

26. Agreed, but she is also culpable for opposing single payer,

which is really the only solution to our situation other than socialized medicine.

[HoneyBadger]

27. What is so wrong with socialized medicine?

Works better than what we have now.

[Blue Meany]

44. Nothing is wrong with it. I think it is the best option. But

no one in political power is even advocating for it. There are people advocating for single payer and Pelosi opposes it.

Now that I think about it, though, if Bernie Sanders were to start advocating for socialized medicine, maybe single payer would become the compromise position instead of a "radical" one.

4. Their gleeful message.

Die.

[Cha]

5. And, they're betting..

Hope they're proven dead wrong, she

[herding cats]

6. Same here.

Resisting also means staying engaged and showing up in 2018.

Great post, Cha.

[Cha]

7. Mahalo, herding! RESIST and PERSIST!

Thank you for supporting it!

[herding cats]

8. My support always goes toward the resist and persist people, Cha.

Always has, and always will. Even more so now that my peers and myself are feeling the sting of this horrific piece of legislation.

We're battered, but not beaten. The Republicans own this atrocity and if the Senate decides to pass an incarceration of this they too will be tainted by its stench. We must organize and hold them accountable for their actions.

It's early in the game and we must remain laser focused on what really matters here. Our very Democracy is at stake. It's imperative that we don't lose focus!

This isn't even the worst of what we expected after the election, it's not even close, and that it's taken them this long to get this far is a good thing for us. People are resisting them. We can't become discouraged and stop, or become distracted now. They're playing for keeps, and 2018 is now the most important election of our lives.

[brer cat]

9. I pray that President Obama and Holder

are going after voter purges and the rigging. We can't win if republicans control the voting, and Sessions will be giving them protection. We need big guns, and PBO can produce them.

[herding cats]

12. I thinks President Obama knows how dire out situation is right now.

I also believe he cares about our nation, and all the people who live here.

I've read post election his people are supposed to be involved in the gerrymandering rig going on, if he's on that I'm sure he's working for the good of democracy still.

[Cha]

10. Well said, herding cats! Yes, even though this heinous

torturous bill has passed the House doesn't mean we stop calling.. the Senate gops will be noting the FALLOUT..

[herding cats]

13. Yes, we must call.

We also must vote them out in 2018!

We are our own miracle if we want it. If we can change the balance in the House and/or Senate on them, the way they did to us in 2010 and 2012, we can have real power to resist them!

We need to beat them at their own game this time around. We need to take every seat from dogcather on up we can get from now forward, we need to remain active and woke.

[Cha]

15. That's exactly what we need to do! I hope

those who haven't voted in Mid-terms because of some self-centered slight or to teach someone a lesson.. will finally see the difference between these evil fascists and Democrats.

[tblue37]

24. We especially need to emphasize that the Repubs exempted themselves and THEIR

health insurance from the harm their bill does to ordinary Americans.

[Cha]

30. Exactly tblue!

[blue-wave]

11. We Must Never, Ever

let them off the hook for this one. They even included this....

"One little-noticed provision would reduce funds that allow schools to cover health services for children who qualify for special education because of physical or mental impairments".

"Yes, the AHCA would very literally take money away from disabled kids".

The above quote per this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/health-care-bill-republican-party_us_590b8052e4b0d5d9049a7ab5?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

This is one of the most callous and violently greedy pieces of legislation I can remember.




Mahalo Cha!

[Cha]

14. Mahalo for that additional kick in the

face that they celebrated with beer, blue-wave. They were so damn happy with it that excluded themselves.. Throw their voters to the wolves but keep the Obamacare for them.

20. Love Nancy!

She is the leader we need right now. Her work in the House has been incredible.

[Cha]

22. Nancy is the Leader we need right now, mcar..

That's why I wanted to get this tweet of hers out there.. show what she's thinking about this heinous shite from the repubs in the House.

Eww.. can you imagine having to work with these zombies?

[mcar]

31. She is a stronger woman than I

[bigtree]

21. glow worms

...

[Cha]

29. I bet that's what she had

in mind.

[bdamomma]

23. ok if this filthy

approval of dismantling healthcare for Americans is showing the repigs true colours, then they are showing us how they really feel about Americans they have no respect for us whatsoever. This cannot stand.

[Cha]

38. No it cannot stand, bdamomma!

It will not.

[Orsino]

25. Rather may not be 100% right.

Trump may have done nothing but fuck up his entire life, but he has so far only been rewarded. If all his promises come to nothing more than "well, we sure pissed off the libruls," that could conceivably be enough to let him survive a term, or even to win reelection.

But WE would sure have to screw the pooch to make that happen.

[WePurrsevere]

33. Tyrants, dictators and bullies can win in short term history...

But, if you think about the historical monsters on a timeline, in the long term (sometimes even years, sometimes centuries) they always lose, so IMO Dan is correct in that way.

[Orsino]

34. Trouble is, that history cuts both ways.

Progressive leadership improves lives, but it also begets complacency and therefore tyrants.

[WePurrsevere]

35. True, there is that cycle (because some people love to stir the pot) but...

I strongly suspect that in the long run Trump's current 'rewards' will be seen in a rather different and more negative context.

Besides historically there's a part of me hopes that there's some sort of karmic/biblical justice after this life. If so it's gonna suck septic tank waste for Trump and the GOP.

[Orsino]

36. Generations of rich bastards spend their long, comfortable lives shitting on the rest of us.

There is no karma that can be counted upon...but that does tend to make it all the sweeter in the few cases when it appears to manifest.

[WePurrsevere]

37. I must admit, I do so love an occasional 'fix' of political schadenfreude...

and hope to get a nice 'YUGE' dose of it soon.

[burnbaby]

28. she should know

we lost the house because of her “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”

Now because of Ryan we will get it back

[Cha]

32. What are you going on about? We didn't lose the House because of

her.. quit spreading propaganda.

[burnbaby]

42. it's a matter of opinion

it's not propaganda. For 2 years we spent working on the ACA while we had majority in both houses. You tell me why or how did we lose? Let me take it another step, why are we going to win in 2018 because the repubs repealed ACA.

[Cha]

46. They didn't have the votes.. it's not opinion it's fact..

get them straight.

[Jamaal510]

39. Nope,

we lost control because a large chunk of people who voted for D's in 2008 apparently forgot that there are midterms and couldn't be bothered to show up in 2010, knowing full well what was at stake with allowing the GOP to gain power.

[Cha]

40. Mahalo, Jamaal

thanks for getting the facts out there.

They can just stop dissing Nancy Pelosi

[burnbaby]

41. did they also forget

in 2012, 2014 and 2016?

When ACA first came out there were lot's of issues. It was not embraced with open arms at first by a large amount of people

[Cha]

47. The rw assholes put out a hate campaign on ACA

and the 3rd party types whined their heads off that it wasn't single payer.. not being aware enough that there weren't the votes for single payer.

[R B Garr]

45. K&R

We wouldn't be going through this if Hillary was in the White House.

Good morning, Cha...
