TrumpCare vs ObamaCare

Here, from the BBC, is a comparison.

It is still Subsidized, it is still Socialized Medicine.

AND IT ISN’T REPEAL.

Thing is, now Trump owns it.  So when it craters in 3 years or so (and it will, the fail has already begun), it isn’t BarryCare anymore, it is DonnieCare……

And this is the end of the chance the GOP had to actually, you know, succeed in regaining its power. (Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…..)

Delta apologizes

Which is good……They paid the dude’s costs and offered some compensation.

The question I have, however, is did they fire the flight attendant in the video? You know, the one that lied about “federal law” and “federal regulations” regarding seating of children and/or “Federal Law” when it came to “following orders of a flight crew” (which is only applicable IN Flight (defined as terminal to terminal, and since the plane hadn’t left the terminal….))…Did they fire her? If not, then they approve of her antics, and are only apologizing to the passenger and covering his costs and such because there is video evidence.

Unless they have fired her, then I gotta believe that Delta thinks this is good behavior for flight attendants.

Until folks start getting fired for this shit, it won’t stop.

I’d not have been as calm and cool and collected. 

Oh, and don’t forget:

Today is the Holiday for Mexicans in the US, but nowhere else in the world, not even Mexico, except for the State of Puebla…where it is a tepid holiday, at best…maybe some parades and such.

For the rest of Mexico, it is nothing special. In the US, it  is, somehow, a special day for Mexican Americans and their illegal friends. And an excuse to drink for the rest of us because cheap Mexican beer and tequila is on sale and there are drink specials at bars and such.

But mostly it is an American Mexican holiday, not a Mexican holiday. Sorta like St. Patrick’s day only with darker skin and black hair.

You mis-understand:

This bill wasn’t a “Repeal and Replace”.

It was a “replace ObamaCare with a “less bad” version of ObamaCare”.

Those 20 Representatives who voted against this abomination of a bill are the only ones who stood true to the GOP promise to REPEAL.

All of you who use the words Repeal and Replace are liars. There is no Repeal. There is still Socialized Medicine. There is still the concept that the State owes some people health care insurance based solely on their “reported” income. That the rest of the people should pay their own way. That failing to participate in the shared risk pool can be rewarded when people discover that they need someone to pay for their medical expenses (preexisting conditions) on the backs of the rest of us.

The whole concept of Socialized medicine still exists in this plan. What it has done is to more firmly cement the concept that Health Care insurance is a right as a citizen of the US.

The GOP has greatly failed to meet even my very low opinion and expectations of them.

He wuz gonna

Go to College…

Just as soon as he got his GED.

Which wuz as soon as he could keep his ass outa trouble long enough to do it.

Or something.

If only he hadn’t been shot fo Mindin’ hiz own Bidnez

File this under WTF?

Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who was fatally shot by George Zimmerman in February 2012, will be awarded a bachelor’s degree in aviation from Florida Memorial University (FMU) during commencement ceremonies on May 13.

Yep

This.

Exactly this.

I want my campaign promises kept.

TheDonald should fire his advisors. Especially Reince Preibus, Since he took him on, Trump’s message and strength had gone downhill. Seems his ability to get things done has waned.

Trump is acting like the GOP that we elected him to lead to victories, not to fail and knuckle under.

100 days, and where is the Repeal? Where is the wall (yeah, the GOP negotiated both away) where is anything in the first 100 days?

He shoulda stood firm and let the Dems cause a shutdown.

At some point

In the replacement of the 40 year old breaker box, one must just say “FuckIt” and just get the power back on.

This is doubly true when the person who installed the original box had no idea what he was doing in the first place. (and he has passed, so I can’t kick him in the ass)

It is now safe (I am amazed that thing didn’t burn the whole range down) if not to Code.

It will be to code in a day or two. And the power is back on in almost every place in the range.
