SOMETHING STUPID

Trump spokesman, Sean Spicer said something stupid yesterday.

During the daily White House briefing, Spicer told reporters that Adolf Hitler "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons." Critics noted the remark ignored Hitler's use of gas chambers to exterminate Jews during the Holocaust.

I find it hard to believe that Sean Spicer is so misinformed that he would say something so stupid. I wonder what stupidities I would be capable of if I was speaking every day with cameras pointed at me recording every word I uttered. There are plenty of people who surely think that I write stupid stuff every day.

Sean Spicer's biggest mistake was saying something stupid with an (R) after his name. Democrats can say stupid stuff all the time, and there is no call for apologies from the media, no calls to step down from positions. Don't believe me?  Ask Susan Rice. Ask Barack Obama. Ask Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. In fact, you can probably ask any Democrat.

Sean Spicer apologizes during a TV interview for his Hitler comparison while discussing Syria’s use of chemical weapons.

some samples of some misstatements....that have NOT caused, and did NOT cause much of an uproar with the dishonest lefty liberal lying media.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, accepting an award at Allegheny College way, way back on Monday

Let’s hope members of Congress, the members Allegheny College has already honored — Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. John McCain [R-Ariz.], the women of the Senate, Sens. Dianne Feinstein [D-Calif.] and Lindsey Graham — let’s hope that they and others of goodwill will lead in restoring harmonious work ways,”

(Hey, I don't particularly like Senator Lindsey Graham either, but I know that he is a man.)


SUSAN RICE, way, way, way back on January 17, 2017 

"We were able to find a solution that didn't necessitate the use of force that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known from Syria, in a way that the use of force would never have accomplished. Our aim in contemplating the use of force following the use of chemical weapons in August of 2013 was not to intervene in the civil war, not to become involved in the combat between Assad and the opposition, but to deal with the threat of chemical weapons by virtue of the diplomacy that we did with Russia and with the Security Council. We were able to get the Syrian government to voluntarily and verifiably give up its chemical weapons stockpile."

(Susan Rice is lucky, there probably is not an intelligent person on earth who thinks that she is an honest person. What's another lie?)


BARACK OBAMA, June 6, 2009

 "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it.  If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too.  The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold."

(This one belongs in the Hall of Fame. It is too late for Obama to step down....But can you Democrats at least stop telling me what a great president he was?)

CONGRESS VOTED TO REPEAL OBAMACARE

Yes, it is true, Congress voted to repeal Obamacare.  In fact, they voted many times to do this when President Barack Obama was sitting in the Oval Office. This phony show vote was to convince morons (conservative republicans) like me that if they were ever given the real opportunity to repeal this abhorrent law, they would. How surprised these low-lifes in Congress must have been on that Tuesday in November last year when a Republican was elected to the Presidency. Now these low-lifes could no longer walk around screaming how bad Obamacare is. They were charged with the responsibility to actually do something about it. Effective governing is not one of the strong assets of the Republican Congress. Guess what, we are doomed. We usually lose to the liberal lefties in national elections. We always have to fight the liberal lefties in government. Now we just lost to the highfalutin' conservative Republicans in Congress, who refused to support a (less-than-perfect) bill that would have begun to dismantle Obamacare. I was looking for this new administration to erase Obama. Perhaps, the conservative members of our Congress, just managed to erase themselves. November 2018 will not be an enjoyable night as Congress seeks re-election. There must have been great parties in Washington DC last night as Democrats watched Republicans commit political suicide.

House Passes Obamacare Repeal And Replace Bill In Spite Of Obama’s Protests

by James Beattie February 3, 2015 at 3:51pm

On Tuesday, the House voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. This is the first time the House attached a provision requiring that Congress replace President Obama’s health care law. The House voted Tuesday 239 to 186 on H.R. 596, which would not only repeal Obamacare but force Congress to also replace the health care law. Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala., sponsored the legislation. It now heads to the Senate, where its future is uncertain. 60 votes are required for cloture, and there are only 54 Republicans in the new Senate. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., was one of the first to get on the offensive ahead of the House vote supporting the Obamacare appeal. “Instead of Obamcare’s one-size-fits-all approach, we need to pursue consumer-driven reforms that put patients, not bureaucrats, in charge of health care decisions,” Coats said in a press release ahead of the vote Tuesday. “This legislation starts that process.” One interesting note: three Republicans voted against the Obamacare repeal. The names, as flagged by Heidi Pryzblya of Bloomberg, were Reps. Robert Dold of Illinois, John Katko of New York, and Bruce Poliquin of Maine. No Democrats voted for the repeal.

It did not take any courage to vote against a law where there was an absolute guarantee that the vote would have exactly 0.0% of passing or affecting the life of a single American.  The vote that did not occur on this past Thursday and Friday, would have begun the process to dismantle Obamacare.  And since there were not enough votes to pass this new legislation. There was no vote. My level of disappointment is off the charts. I believe that President Donald Trump has many times bemoaned the stupid politicians that run this country - was he surely proved correct this past week.  Let me be among the first to welcome back House Leader Nancy Pelosi. If there is not a giant reconsideration of the damage caused this week, the Republicans will lost the House in November 2018. And if that happens.... then what? Obamacare has no chance of being repealed? Aren't we there already?

REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE

This is directed at the high-minded, so-called conservatives, super moralistic Republicans in the United States House of Representatives. I understand that you think that the Healthcare Bill that you were supposed to vote on yesterday was less than perfect.  I agree with you. Now do your job and pass the thing today. Why do we need Democrats as the opposition party when Republicans are already the opposition party. Virtually every single Republican ran on the promise (for the past three elections) to repeal and replace Obamacare. Now do it. Because if you fail, Donald Trump fails, and if Donald Trump fails, America fails. And if America fails, it won't matter in 2018 who wins congressional seats in Congress. Do what you promised.

VOTING GUIDE FOR HOUSE REPUBLICANS

Today, the United States House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (you know this one, the one where the dishonest lying 44th President of the United States promised that if you liked your plan you could keep your plan and if you liked your doctor you could keep your doctor) Never had such a big lie, that affected so many people been so under reported by the media. 

It appears that the vote today is far from assured. Apparently there are more than a few Republicans that feel that they cannot vote for any legislation that is not perfect. This is earth. Perfection is not achievable. Improvement is always within grasp. 

I can offer a hint on how best to vote. If you are voting on the same side of an issue that Nancy Pelosi and every Democrat in the House is voting on (other than renaming a post office or equally vital legislation) - you can be reliably assured that you are on the wrong side of an issue. I can think of no circumstance where this would not be true.

In most cases, if you are on the same side of an issue as Nancy Pelosi - you might want to re-think your position

OBAMACARE 2.0

I expect that I am one of millions of Americans very disgusted that the Republicans seem unable or unwilling to do precisely what they have been promising for the past few years, that is repealing the Affordable Care Act. If ever the name of legislation was a more of a sick joke, I am unaware. There is nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act. If the Republicans can't keep this promise to eradicate this legislation, the levers of government will quickly change hands again. Every day is a fight, most days, we lose.
