Pic Of The Moment: What Fresh Hell Is This?

Republican senator criticizes Obamacare on the grounds that Obamacare subsidies are awesome

[phantom power]

1. The GOP does this because it works, and nobody stops them.

[AlbertCat]

5. because it works

I dunno if this time it will work so well.

[nxylas]

7. Why should this time be any different?

As always, those inside the bubble will believe whatever lies they're fed by Fox Noise et al, while those outside will be purged from the electoral roll.

[lark]

17. The MSM is just part of the 1%, which is Repug.

Of course they don't call the GOP on it's lies and hypocricy, it's in their best interests to pretend Repugs are real, that they have real policy positions to help mainstream America, and that they give a shit about this country and it's people. Notice anyone putting down the Repug candidates that are purely marginal, hell no. Instead they rag on Bernie who is actually real, who cares and who has policies to promote the general interests of the people of this country and the actual country itself. He's not just out for himself and his own pesonal ability to have power and make money, so 100% different than any Repug out there. They think they have to marginalize him because he's a threat to their power.

I say "Good". They should be threatened by him. Just hope he can truly compete without the big money PAC's. This country needs him.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

32. Our Dem candidates need to speak up on health and call the GOP out

[lark]

42. +1,000,000

Yes, they should.

[Cosmocat]

18. YEP

It has worked increasingly since the 90s ... And it has enabled them to devolve to what they are today. They just say whatever bullshit comes to their deranged and mind, and have been getting away with for so long they truly consider themselves wronged if they somehow get called on it.

[heaven05]

2. 6 million

more to possibly be hurt by GOP greed and hate of 'the common person struggling to make ends meet'! WTF will it take for people to understand who the real enemy(s) to all americans are?

[MrScorpio]

3. This is what they'd scrawl on a wall...

[Dont call me Shirley]

19. That is so, Mr Scorpio. They're Orwellian graffiti-ists.

[canuckledragger]

4. Standard operating procedure for irresponsible assholes.

Scapegoat democrats/liberals for things that conservatives/republicans screw up. (and usually screw up on purpose...)

[yuiyoshida]

6. Why is Jackie Chan looking like that?

I don't think he is an American... but well.. Maybe He just fits the Photo. You know I met Jackie Chan once,. sweet guy!!

[lonestarnot]

8. Jackie Chan is very shy. I love him.

[IronLionZion]

24. Because his mind is blown

GOP logic blows minds all across the world and in many cases people die from it. It's very dangerous

[Ilsa]

9. Absolutely brilliant graphic and header.

Too bad it's all real and a nightmare we're all having.

[awoke_in_2003]

10. Repub voters are adept

at doublethink. Glad the increased the chocolate ration

[silverweb]

34. That's exactly what this is.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Illogical doublethink, delivered by a suave, mature gentleman of the Caucasian persuasion to FOX viewers. Those upstanding citizens will uncritically consume it whole, without understanding anything about it except the gleeful Obama-bashing part. It's all very calculated.

[awoke_in_2003]

36. Throw in a female with a great set of legs. nt

[silverweb]

43. Yup.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Don't forget a peek of cleavage, too.

Titillate the old men watching, throw in a little flag waving/saber rattling, and they're completely hooked.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It's a pretty sickening reality.

26. How will republican chicanery be any different under a Bernie Presidency? n/t

[SoapBox]

31. No difference but how would it be under a HRC Presidency?

I'll take my chances with the Bernie Presidency.

[1StrongBlackMan]

39. I suspect a HRC agenda would get more support in congress ...

and, generally, I prefer the safer bet ... though I have not settled on a candidate in this Democratic primary race.

[Kablooie]

12. Typical actually.

They destroy things that Democrats developed and then blame Democrats for creating the problem the destruction creates.

Simple Republican logic.
Always blame the other guy because Republican voters will accept your lies unquestioningly.

[Volaris]

38. You've almost got it exactly right...

Republican congress--if wussy Democrats had written their own version of the law, instead of being wussies and adopting our sucky version of it, we wouldn't be able to do this.
In other words...

See how you make me hit you?

Emotional abuse and victim-blaming seems to be their default position for most things, and I'm done being victimized by those who are chosen to protect me. I'm also done with voting for their Enablers.

I'll be voting for Bernie Sanders.

[Duval]

13. Our Corporate MSM is complicit, for

one, two and three things. They want the big bucks that another war somewhere (Russia?Iran?) will bring. And that is the Republican agenda, but we're getting smarter. Hosting parties for the Dems in counties all over the states, standing up against unfair and illegal voter restriction laws, planning ahead to get people to the polls, fighting against those who wish to repeal the ACA and so on. Also, my home paper, The News and Observer/Raleigh,NC, has begun calling some of the Republicans in NC to task.

Thanks for the post, EarlG.

[Initech]

14. They have no problems giving trillions in subsidies to corporations that don't need it.

But god forbid we get a slice of that.

[d_legendary1]

15. Hey if they succeed in defunding the subsidies

does that mean that we can get these corportions off government welfare as well?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Oh sure, and the intelligence showed there were WMDs in Iraq.

[63splitwindow]

20. The far right figures out a new way to be despicable...

on an hourly basis.

[stillwaiting]

21. Preemptive strike. And it'll work with most of their supporters thanks to RW Media.

This will work mainly because we have too many corrupt Democrats that prop up the Republican Party instead of tearing them a new one by exposing them on their many nefarious and obviously ridiculous shenanigans.

If we had a solid and cohesive Party that was hell-bent on serving the average American person over the wealthy and the multinationals, they would easily be able to destroy the Republican Party. Easily.

[pansypoo53219]

22. the gnewz is COLLUDING w/ the RITE WING CRIMINALS. KEEP THE SHEEPLE STOOPID.

NEVER ELUCIDATE!

educate? NAH!

[ananda]

23. Boy, it's a meaner, crazier world every fukking day!

Is anything ever going to turn around and get human again?

28. John Thune puts the twit in Twitter!

Dumbest person in the US whose initials aren't $arah Palin.

[63splitwindow]

33. Yep

It is as though the more idiotically devoid of empathy for the disadvantaged and dishonest in your position you can be, the more you attract the right wing-nut Con vote.

[dorkzilla]

37. Definitely their winning formula!

It’s amazing how crass the base is, and how the contemporary conservative has zero qualms about dumbing down or spewing nonsense to appeal to these unprincipled morons. Guess it’s all about the money for their elected officials-donations from the slack jawed yokels to get them into office and even bigger $ from the corrupt corporations and plutocrats when they get into office. Or simply pull a Palin - get yourself a PAC and rake in the dough!

Something has to change. I was recently in Europe and my conversations with locals whilst traveling where along the lines of “when did the American people get so stupid? We used to look up to you all” saying they were alternatively amused and frightened because we have the crazy politicians and they may have access to all the weapons. I would say that for an outsider looking in it must be frightening indeed.

[Cha]

29. Same ol shite if you ask me! Mahalo for highlighting, EarlG!

[merrily]

30. Way to help Democrats win! But, how many humans will you hurt?

[JonLP24]

35. I remember before ACA - the Arizona State Legislature

Republicans cut AHCCS funding down so only poor w/ children could qualify then a neighbor Republican uses this as an example of the problem with government run Health Care telling people how to live & act in order to qualify which was having minor children. Tried to tell him it was the Republicans but it wouldn't have mattered.

[PatrickforO]

40. The ONLY things that lets these Republicans get away with stuff like this are:

1. Our corporate owned mainstream media NEVER calls them on even the most egregious lies
2. Fox News has thoroughly propagandized the Republican base until they seem like robots

I mean, have you ever tried to talk to one of these people? It just doesn't work. The minute you bring up facts their eyes glaze over...

[IHateTheGOP]

41. Republicans are insane
