Happy Thanksgiving, Indeed

 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Meanwhile, Republicans are Coming After Your Health Insurance, America

This is what's going on today.  God and heavens help us, America. Republicans and the Right Wing are coming for your health insurance.

Trump’s justice department to argue for end of Obamacare at supreme court

The Affordable Care Act, which allows people to access preventive health services at no cost, will be brought before a conservative majority court

This is the Republican Party, ladies and gentlemen.  This is who they are. This is what they want. This is what they do. They're for, after all, corporations and corporate America and the already-wealthy. They're not for you and me. They're not for the middle class or poor.  

In the middle of the worst, most killing, deadly international pandemic in the last more than 100 years, the Republican Party is actually trying to kill Obamacare which will most surely end health insurance for hundreds of thousands of Americans, at the very least, if not millions.

They're doing this now. Right now. Today.

Pre-existing conditions?

Fuggedaboudit.

Thanks, Republicans!

The Democrats Are Asking Some Great, Even Important Questions Today

 Yes sir and ma'am, the Democrats and their Democratic Party are asking some great and important  questions today over at their website. Without further adieu, they are:

3 Questions for Senate Republicans Today

Three key questions for Senate Republicans to answer today — and they didn’t even have to watch President Trump’s spectacle last night to answer:

1. If the Supreme Court rules to invalidate the Affordable Care Act, why do you still not have a plan to replace the health care law and maintain current protections for pre-existing conditions? (Reminder: all of the GOP’s deceptive pre-existing conditions bills would still gut those protections.)
2. Will you commit to accepting the results of the November election and pledge not to undermine public confidence in the outcome with unfounded claims about voting?
3. Why are you comfortable supporting a president who refuses to condemn white supremacy?

If they can’t provide straightforward answers to these basic questions, they have no business serving in the United States Senate.

Senators?

Senator Blunt?  Senator Hawley?

Your answers, gentlemen?

Quote of the Week

From Facebook.

"...let's get this straight. A rabidly anti-gay congressman with ties to the KKK, who recently voted to let mentally ill people have access to guns and who wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act, had his life saved by a Black Lesbian law enforcement officer and another Black cop, when he was shot by a mentally ill person, and is currently under hospital care that is being paid for by government-funded health insurance. 

There's a lot of irony here. (and hypocrisy).

Is it too much to ask and hope that Republicans see it?"
