Trump's Healthcare BS, Pusillanimous Portman, An Obamacare Victim

In a desperate D.C. speech today, Donny Distemper was in snarling attack-dog mode, bashing Obamacare and trying to threaten/shame/arm-twist Republican Senators into voting tomorrow on a motion to proceed with . . . something, not sure what exactly, but something.  Standing in front of a group of "victims" (victims!), Putin's Puppet railed ridiculously against the ACA, calling it "death," a "government takeover of healthcare," and a "nightmare."  He said "Obamacare has wreaked havoc for the past 17 years," (or seven, whatever) and he urged his reluctant GOP troops to "keep their promise" (to destroy the best healthcare America has ever known).

Blow it out your ass, Donnie!  Republican Senators aren't even sure what they'll be voting on tomorrow.  A motion to proceed . . . with what?  With McCain unavailable, Mitch has no margin of error.  Looks like Trumpcare will remain, for now, a dead duck.

Nevertheless, I sent my Senator, the non-committal worm Robbie Portman, another of my daily messages.  Feel free to do the same with this link:  https://www.portman.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact-form

Hi Rob.  It’s me again, your 62 year-old constituent with Stage 4 cancer being kept alive by Obamacare.

Please ignore the threats from the lunatic in the Oval Office.  Today he said the GOP made “a solemn vow” to repeal and replace the ACA.  It was not a vow; it was a stupid, silly campaign slogan, nothing more.  He also says that any Republican Senators who vote against the awful, rotten BCRA Senate bill are “telling America you are fine with Obamacare.”

I’m fine with Obamacare, Rob.  So are the majority of Americans.  It’s not a “nightmare,” it’s not “death,” and there are no “victims.”  But there will be plenty of real victims if you vote to proceed with Mitch’s abomination.

Vote NO on any motion to proceed!  Vote NO on the BCRA!  Vote NO on any repeal & replace scheme!  Keep Obamacare and work to strengthen and preserve it.  I’ll be watching very closely.

During Trump's remarks, I did notice one unmistakable victim of the Obamacare nightmare.  Just look at what the government takeover of healthcare has done to this woman's eyebrows!  Poor thing -- that's just tragic!

As I mentioned, I've sent my weak-kneed Senator a pro-ACA email every day ever since this TrumpCare crap started.  Demonstrating just how much he cares about this issue, and how closely he follows the concerns of his constituents, I received this email response from him this morning:

"Dear Buster,

Thank you for contacting me to express your views on the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017.  It is good to hear from you.  As you know, nearly 48 million Americans suffer from various forms of hearing impediments. . . . "

And apparently Robbie is among those 48 million!  I sent him a hundred messages on the importance of Obamacare, and he never responded once.  Not once!

"Fuck Obamacare.  Let's
talk about hearing aids."

But he does "respond" to something that never occurred.  I never, ever contacted him on the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act.  Don't know what it is, and don't care.

WTF, Robbie!  Snap out of it!
