Yes. Reminds me also of the common images of a naked, sagging, slovenly Trump. Such an apt representation of his apparent mindset and beliefs.
And also of how I hope we get to see him soon right after someone dumps a bucket of water over that obsessively bizarrely coiffed combover!
Isnāt this exactly as expected? The victims of con artists will double-down rather than admit theyāve been had. And proving an authoritarian wrong just makes them more determined in their stance.
Oh, Iām not surprised in the slightest. Any Democrat that votes with Trump gets deservedly crucified and Iād imagine the opposite is true for Republicans.
Doesnāt bode well for a functional legislative branch, though. Maybe a 2 party system and a partisan executive is a crap idea?
The next round of primaries might be interesting.
Proposals flowed. Some sought to use tax breaks to create health savings accounts. One senator lobbed the idea of offering the working poor tax incentives if they use a life coach to motivate them to get higher-paying jobs. None of the proposals caught on.
And this:
āWhen government continues to step in, we take the responsibility away from churches or friends helping each other,ā Lodge said. āWeāve lost the human element. Government has no heart. It has no soul. It just cares about numbers. People care about people.ā
Youād almost think they either are fully unaware of the Constitution or donāt believe that we have a Constitutional government.
So we should leave healthcare to churches and friends?!
Fucking hell, that reflexive rejection of Big Gubmint, even by career politicians whoāve fought their way into positions IN government, is such an infuriating symptom of the current American pathology.
Also this:
Democrats pushed back on the primary-care plan because they felt it didnāt go far enough to address health-care needs, nor did it address a shortage of doctors in rural parts of the states. Conservative Republicans battled moderates, too. They were unsure about doing anything that could make Obamacare look like a success.
Justā¦ thereās a level of psychopathy to this spitefulness that I literally cannot comprehend.
Aside from a fundamental, selfish childishness, I think itās one of many symptoms of increasing republican desperation. They know that demographically and ideologically, theyāre a fading party, so subterfuge and dirty tricks (including the obfuscation of reducing all details of the ACA to āObamacare,ā and thus to one Kenyan usurper) seem all that much more justified as tactics toward gaining and maintaining power.
Did Trump put this in one of his books or seminars, how to handshake-jerk to wrong-foot the other fellow?
Iād have said heās, what, 15 years older than that?
At least.
If thatās actually legit; then man, does he look like utter shit for his ageā¦
Wiki does indeed say Feb 11, 1974. Maybe the chemtrails have prematurely aged him?
Maybe hatred combined with insanity and greed are bad for oneās looks?
Heās only a few months older than I am:
Although that was from a few years ago, shortly pre-collapse; this is now:
Iām notably lacking in greed, and I try not to be too hateful, but thereās no shortage of crazy. And it does affect your appearance. 
Wow. The wiki was right there in front of us all along but nobody thought to check?
I need to go back to my safe space for a moment.
I think it needs to be a gif to enjoy in all its looping glory. Forever.
Bad diet, smoking, drinking every day ā¦
Thatās what I remember fortysomethings looking like when I was a teenager.
He must be a health-science denier on top of everything else.
