In reply to the discussion: US HOUSE SPEAKER JOHNSON SAID HE WON'T COMMIT TO A VOTE ON ACA SUBSIDIES [View all]Scubamatt
(326 posts)50. I'm shocked . . . just shocked (heavy sarcasm)
You mean Lucy pulled the football away again at the last minute? Never would have expected that. (even heavier sarcasm).
I do want to impose a purity test on all Democratic leaders - NOT one based on particular positions on any substantive issue - but rather on their willingness to fight this fascist regime using every tool and tactic available. If someone is either too naive or myopic to trust this regime, or if they just long for those "good old days" when Congress got along like a club, they have no place leading this party.

Okay, no vote on the ACA, the vote on the Epstein file comes to life as soon as the new Rep. is sworn in.

Then they'll own the increase in health care premiums for 2026 and it is an issue the Democrats can nail to the GOP.
