Some shortcuts to understanding today’s headlines:
- Obamacare was passed on lies ("Premiums will go down by $2500", "If you like your ____, you can keep your ____", "It's not a tax", etc.)
- The AHCA failed on truths ("It's not a repeal", "It keeps the Feds in-charge", "It's not what the people wanted", etc.)
- Bill Clinton also failed to bring healthcare to a vote, and his presidency moved on (his impeachment was unrelated)
- Bill Clinton cut taxes AFTER losing on healthcare
- Barack Obama had much bigger majorities to pass Obamacare
- Obamacare took 15 months to get to a vote
- Barack Obama’s first priority was closing Guantanamo Bay, and it is still open
- No entitlement has ever been repealed without a Civil War
- Legislation begins in the House, then goes to the Senate, and ends on the President’s desk
- The AHCA was conceived and largely written by House leadership before Donald Trump’s election
- The GOP is NOT a monolith, unlike the DEMs, so when they run things it's a coalition type government (in other words, "This is what Democracy looks like!")
- The entire federal government and opposition media has been investigating Russia/Trump collusion for almost a year and yielded nothing
- The Clinton team had far more involvement with Russia than Trump
- No agency has publicly announced they are investigating whether or not Trump was improperly surveilled by the Obama administration
- We already know the Obama administration improperly used several federal agencies to prosecute, harass, and impede his opponents (IRS, DOJ, FBI, NHTSA, FDA, NLRB, and Fish and Wildlife, to name a few)
- How can anyone doubt Obama could improperly handle surveillance on Team Trump?
