Everytime GOPe forced to admit repeal promise was a sham, a joke....<br />Trump is reminding me of the Alinsky rule about making your opponent live up to his...impossible ideals, was it? He keeps predicating his statements with reminders of their years' long promises.Dahlianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-39804566288300791902017-07-26T21:43:24.110-04:002017-07-26T21:43:24.110-04:00I think the Freedom Caucus types were looking for ...I think the Freedom Caucus types were looking for some red meat to throw the conservative voters, what with the utter humiliation that the House and Senate R's are going through with the repeal of Obamacare.<br /><br />"Quick, conservatives are threatening not to donate or even vote! Uh... uh... hey, the tranny war hasn't been totally decided yet -- into the ovens they go!"<br /><br />This is the culture war done right -- you can only do that while offering good bread & butter policies. Nobody would've cared if it were Jeb Bush pushing the typical corporate Republican crap. The Dems could've run entirely on him being another "friend of the rich".<br /><br />Now when the Dems try to press the tranny issue, they won't have any populist economic platform to fall back on with working / middle class Americans who aren't hyper-liberal.<br /><br />No more Clintonian triangulation -- only freakish culture war extremism for mainstream Dems.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-58604898701416197082017-07-26T19:34:19.401-04:002017-07-26T19:34:19.401-04:00My husband reminded me today, in talking about how...My husband reminded me today, in talking about how the military being discriminating is a feature, that bipolar folks can't serve.

Just put a needle in already, round the clock I.V.:<br /><br />"House Republicans were planning to pass a spending bill stacked with his campaign promises, including money to build his border wall with Mexico.<br /><br />But an internal House Republican fight over transgender troops was threatening to blow up the bill. And House GOP insiders feared they might not have the votes to pass the legislation because defense hawks wanted a ban on Pentagon-funded sex reassignment operations — something GOP leaders wouldn’t give them.<br /><br />They turned to Trump, who didn’t hesitate. In the flash of a tweet, he announced that transgender troops would be banned altogether."<br /><br />http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/26/trump-transgender-military-ban-behind-the-scenes-240990Dahlianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-25898706662586430042017-07-26T10:52:22.519-04:002017-07-26T10:52:22.519-04:00Sorry for sidetrack...

I watched the rally, too, and the big take-always I came away with are that they are fired up about steel, jobs, bread and butter issues as well as just making America something special and great again.<br /><br />Whenever Trump has an event where there is a spontaneous, outpouring energetic response (Army-Navy game, Boyscout Jamboree), the MSM gets into the foulest mood- notice that?<br />It's like, best laid plans and carefully curated bubbles are shown up.<br /><br />As an aside, the cucks are completely cucking out this morning and the libs are up in arms over the second biggest sociopathic-elitist cause: transgenders. Yeah, these people are *never* their victims.<br />(First is tolerating working class child rape in name of anti-racism.)Dahlianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-52073840403863839792017-07-26T09:42:51.023-04:002017-07-26T09:42:51.023-04:00"same rape by insurance and drug corporations..."same rape by insurance and drug corporations"<br /><br />The biggest bloodsucker of them all is your local, only-game-in-town hospital. That beloved institution that is the largest employer in your small town. Even employs a friend, family member or two of your own.<br />My aunt was head admin handling insurance at a major hospital here in Florida (retired two years ago) and she concurred with everything in this article. In fact, seeing it all laid out, she learned a thing or two because even she wasn't privy to everything.<br />http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,2136864,00.html<br /><br />So, I'm suspicious of any reforms touted by people who do not mention the ultimate vampire. Comports with my own experience as well:<br />Child 1, military: $26<br />Child 2, military: $26<br />Child 3, non-monopoly hospital, good insurance: a couple hundred<br />Child 4: monopoly hospital, bad insurance: $7,000+<br /><br />The bad insurance was a "fluke" when my husband's company was "trying to save money" they went back to the better after the huge outcry, but it was too late for us. It took us years, being a young couple, to recover financially from this normal birth with less than a 48 hour stay in the hospital.Dahlianoreply@blogger.com
