Anyone disposed to scoff should drop by. They won't believe how well it works.
Beating the couch with a tennis racket works for me.

Sure, because you've been right on the money about Trump all along.

There's a veritable gold mine of past posts of yours that will demonstrate what an awesome prognosticator you are. That is unless you've deleting the Hell out of them like you Gal did all of her embarrassing emails.

At any time they choose, the Senate, by mere majority vote, can do away with the time-honored filibuster rule and say a bare majority can pass anything. This is the so-called 'nuclear option' discussed during the government shutdown episodes.

I'm betting that in these Days of Trump, the nuclear option finally goes off.

Any bets you'd like to place on how quickly the ACA faces legislative action after 1/20/17?

OK, I'm going to stick my neck out and prognosticate that Ryan does not get his way with Social Security and Medicare.

If I am wrong you can go back to this post of mine and embarrass and humiliate me the way I am going to use Bob's past posts about the impending Hillary Clinton landslide to embarrass and humiliate him.

Interestingly, they don't yet have a replacement plan to support the "repeal and replace" mantra they've been chanting for 6 years. At most, they'll tweak it, change it's name, and sing its praises.

Pretty fast I hope.

It's a suck ass piece of legislation.

By the way, whatever they replace it with will be suck ass too.

The only solution that will work is single payer.

Are you really this gullible, Mike? Trump will slap his gold leaf embossed name on ObamaCare while allowing that ludicrous RWNJ shiny object of selling insurance across state lines. We'll all be buying our health insurance through some shell company based in Delaware.

Grow up, bro.

I hear some people were gullible enough to believe Clinton would win in a landslide.

I hear some people thought he might turn Texas, Georgia, and Utah blue.

Can you believe that shit?

I swear it's true.

If you don't believe me I can pull up the posts of the idiot who said those things and show you. Do you want me to?
