Caroline Kelly's ongoing Facebook meme portraying the Republican attempts to Repeal the Affordable Care Act as a game of DND got me dying over here...
After watching all my Facebook friends shit all over John McCain, who came from having his brain operated on or whatever to make it back for this vote, under the assumption that he was going to vote for the repeal... Jumping on Twitter last night and seeing that McCain cast the deciding vote to kill the repeal was beyond hilarious, fam! It was fucking theater...
Oh the meme's we'll see in the morning...
As much as I'm enjoying this FAIL parade, I honestly expect the Republicans to keep chopping away at Obamacare. That's how much Republican voters hate Obama. They will put massive pressure on those three Republicans who voted to kill the so-called Skinny Repeal. In particular, I'm betting McCain has something up his sleeve, since this will not go well with his constituents, and the people who fund his campaigns. I have been saying for a while that the Republican Party is broken (Trump's election was really a symptom of dysfunction in both parties, not just the DNC). Still, I am pretty shocked that they couldn't get their heads outta their asses long enough to take down Obamacare, which they have been voting to repeal since they took over the House of Representatives in Obama's first midterm... I consider myself a moderate Democrat... As a "live and let live" kinda guy, I think I am pretty flexible politically. Growing up in Texas, I know how to live with a Conservative government, but the current administration combined with this Congress is almost a worst-case scenario of right-wing fuckery. Their wrong-headedness is only matched by their inability to deliver. As an American citizen, I almost feel bad laughing at this ridiculous string of failures.
Almost.
Have great Friday!

Update: @SenJohnMcCain cast the decisive vote against the GOP #healthcarebill, joining Murkowski and Collins. https://t.co/xj9pF5d5oq— Twitter Moments (@TwitterMoments) July 28, 2017
