Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's also the part where they can't actually repeal Obamacare, because they are trying to do it through the budget process, so they can only make changes to financial parts.
Everything I know about this I learned on NPR this morning. [link]

And the real issue, I think, is that Obamacare WAS the compromise! I mean, the only other place to go is to say no insurance at all.

Right? I feel like if Republicans could fix some of the things in Obamacare that need to be fixed (one big thing is drug pricing), they would be re-elected FOREVER. Imagine campaigning on "Remember how your drugs under Obamacare used to be $700 a month, but now they're $40 a month? You know who fixed that? ME!!! Re-elect me forever!" And voters would.
But instead they just want to destroy Obamacare, which is not going to get them the votes they think it will.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The NYT has an article this morning about how it's historically been difficult/impossible to take away benefits/entitlement programs once they've been enacted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Let's get to the nanobots so I can spend all my time making up football games already.
You know the work I didn't want to do yesterday? Still don't wanna. And now I don't have google cricket.

Hell, if they also dropped the whole "The Godless Gays are the source of all our problems!" rhetoric, that might make me vote to re-elect them.

Our wings are not tired.
Apparently the repeal idea has already collapsed:
As much as I am relieved that they won't get this through for the people it would harm so badly, my first thought was Trump and McConnell must be seriously frustrated and pissed off. This pleases me. I can hardly recognize myself I have become so petty.
