Most of our current elected republicans are non-violent psychopaths. Some elected democrats are also non-violent psychopaths, but overall the democratic party doesn't operate from a psychopathic platform like the republicans.
"Psychopaths, on the other hand, are unable to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy with others, although they often have disarming or even charming personalities. Psychopaths are very manipulative and can easily gain people’s trust. They learn to mimic emotions, despite their inability to actually feel them, and will appear normal to unsuspecting people. Psychopaths are often well educated and hold steady jobs. Some are so good at manipulation and mimicry that they have families and other long-term relationships without those around them ever suspecting their true nature.
When committing crimes, psychopaths carefully plan out every detail in advance and often have contingency plans in place. Unlike their sociopathic counterparts, psychopathic criminals are cool, calm, and meticulous. Their crimes, whether violent or non-violent, will be highly organized and generally offer few clues for authorities to pursue. Intelligent psychopaths make excellent white-collar criminals and "con artists" due to their calm and charismatic natures. :"

Gentle Readers,
Ok, just fuck it. Here goes: The Donald and those kids his various wives have pushed out onto the world have all they ever wanted. Furthermore, they want what I have worked hard to get. Sure, repeal the current health care law and don't replace it with jack shit. Give a GIGANTIC DICK of a tax cut to the enormously wealthy of this world. GIVE THEM A TAX CUT THAT IS HUGE, STIFF, and THROBBING! They might need some lube for this MASSIVE, PULSATING TAX CUT, so let's make it retroactive to 2010. JUST WHY THE FUCK NOT!
In the mean time, the poor, sick, elderly, and young, can just do the Wealthy a generous favor and die in the fucking streets. Fuck them. We need more overdoses so the rich can have a EVEN BIGGER TAX CUT! Let the poor use the emergency room as a primary care doctor, so that I have to pay for it with higher premiums on MY health insurance. I'VE GOT PLENTY OF MONEY TO SPARE!
We need to spread the lies about vaccines, so we don't spend that money on those that cannot afford it. That's a double win! No money for vaccines, and they then die of preventable diseases like mumps, polio, pertussis, typhoid, and fuck-knows-what.
I'm going back in the bathroom and look myself in the mirror. I'll then scream the truth at my reflection, "FUCK YOU! YOU DON"T EVEN HAVE THE COMMON COURTESY TO CONVENIENTLY DIE WHEN YOUR BETTERS REQUIRE IT OF YOU. YOU SELFISH FUCKING SHIT!"
Welcome to my waistoid life. I work hard to get educated, be a good husband, father, and citizen. I'M SO FUCKING STUPID!

It's wonderful the way the sick, the poor and the aged, gag and stagger around shrieking and gacking when someone shoots them in the face.
Use a caliber large enough to blow their brains out of the back of their heads,
however, bloody grey matter makes for poor brains & eggs
Then butcher them to prepare for CANNIBAL ANARCHY.
A little protein stored for the future is a virtue.
more overdoses
In the Capitol, we have the finest government money can buy. It maximizes waste, fraud, and abuse, because those categories can tip out the maximum to lobbyists, PACs, etc.
The surge in overdoses results in large part from the current Obamneycare legislation, which devoted infinite subsidies to the OxyContin fraud. (See also the L.A. Times.) Now, the latest talking point is to demand subsidies for rehab programs with a 90% failure rate, while continuing most of the subsidies that drive the overdoses. Anybody who doesn't want to subsidize fraud and 90% failure rates is denounced as a psychopath or at the very least a sociopath.
We do not have an evidence-based, results-oriented public health policy. We have a cluster of revenue maximization policies, because that's what lobbyists wrote and politicans enacted. "If they can keep you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers." So long as you're demanding more subsidies for frauds or 90% failure rates, or for both, they don't have to worry about disruptive innovation, nor even prosecution.
Because nothing in Congress is the final Healthcare bill and Washington knows it.
Trump has had 40 years to work on Healthcare. He was on Johnny Carson back when Johnny Carson still had brown hair explaining what he would do if he was President.
The very minute that Healthcare bill reaches his desk. Is like a Wrestling tag team match. Trump may now enter the debate. He can not initiate legislation only weigh in once it reaches his desk to sign. He can do one of three things.
1)Veto it out right, and kill it right there and that's the end of it.
2)He can sign it into law and everyone pops campaign and orders ping pong Pizza.
3)OR He can put it in the shredder and open his desk top drawer and whip out his Healthcare bill and tell them to reconcile that.
Then he starts Tweeting what's in his bill line by line in a 48 hour Tweeting Marathon.
The minute he does that. It's congress against 80% of the voters. The other 20% stand to lose to much they love high healthcare costs they are making a killing with it.
But at least 80% of the voters will be demanding all of Washington cut the Resist shit with Trump and pass the damn Bill.
But at least 80% of the voters will be demanding all of Washington....
I think that's part of what's behind MSM TDS. They know he has a chance of draining the swamp of corruption, at least the medical- and military-industrial-complexes. No one can really predict what he'll do, and that scares the crooks who want him to leave their revenue models intact.
BAO:
Gentle Reader,
I see what you are saying about the politic of the health care discussion/debate/disaster being a prelude to a GOP purge of the RINOs. Still, the GOP whined about this for years and years. Anyone who thinks that the GOP is in anyway competent at governing the US should take a long look at this garbage. They had plenty of time to get something that was beneficial to the US healthcare sector. I still call BS on them. They had time to do this. President Pouty Poo said he would do something "wonderful."
Well,... he didn't. The GOP didn't.

You just get more unhinged all the time. Where does either article even mention Obamacare? Both talk about the rise of the abuse of OxyContin starting in the 90's. Obamacare wasn't even passed until 2010 and fully implemented 3 years later. How does Obamacare make overdoses? It doesn't pay for prescriptions. Obamacare is the biggest source of help fighting the opiod epidemic. https://www.networkforphl.org/the_network_blog/2017/03/02/868/how_medicaid_and_the_aca_are_helping_states_address_opioid_overdose Opiod prescriptions have been dropping every year since the Obamacare was implemented. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/21/health/opioid-prescriptions-drop-for-first-time-in-two-decades.html After the formula for oxycontin was changed to anti tamper in 2010 (before Obamacare was passed) oxycontin abuse plummeted and was replaced by heroin or illegally produced fentanyl as the drug of choice for abuse. http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/12/health/opioid-addiction-history/index.html
But hey feel free to continue to spout utter nonsense.

The tass (trump ass sucking syndrome) is strong with this one. The medical/military contractors/financial/oil/whatever industries have been partying non stop ever since the election. The trump administration is the ultra rich libertarian and big corporation ultimate wet dream come true. Other than a couple generals trumps entire cabinet consists of kock bro's alumni.
Trump shows no appetite for the minutia of crafting policy or the legislative process. Rather than leading with a specific health policy of his own, the president left it to his congressional Republicans to fulfill his promise to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Because Trump isn't new. Any organization that has a petty snake in the grass like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. Don't ever go to them with your brilliant plan they will water it down and make sure it never sees the light of day. That is what Paul Ryan tried to do with it the first weeks of Trump's inauguration. He jumped on it before Trump could even give instructions, they didn't meet with him. They jumped on it and tried to create a shit storm Tweet out of Trump. Because they knew how bad it was.
Trump didn't bite the bait because he's not a mentally confused Liberal retard, he's actually intelligent and can assess the situation. So he let Paul Ryan fall on his own face without his bicycle helmet on. Which he did spectacularly.
If Trump gave them his plan now they would water it down, and his name would be all over it. They would make is suck so bad, even he would veto it. For his brilliant hand to work. The Establishment Weasels have to submit him a Shittier than Shit proposal. To which he can leverage against the voter base in contrast to his brillant proposal.
This move will sink every Rino and Schumer type Fuckstick in Washington and send them packing licking their wounds never to be seen in Washington again.
It's not nice, No it's not NICE for Trump to pick on the Retards like he is, but sometimes damn it they just need it.

Let's pretend to be surprised. I've been saying this would happen for years.
The Big Question: Why Isn't the Proposed Healthcare Replacement Ready?
The last thing the Republicans want to do is repeal Obamacare. They need it as a wedge issue and any changes they make will be for the worse particularly for their constituents who, as dumb as they are, will realize which party fucked them over when they lose their healthcare.
Peaceful Responder,
Timing implies there is a special inStance where tHe pLan will come into existence.
For your 'thoughts' to attain accuracy, one must bring into force the additional dimensions currently in play to properly compute tHe inStance.
Given that trUmp , caretaker of tHe inStance, operates in 7 unique dimensions, one must consider where they've bEen, where they aRe, and where they must bE,

P.S. President Pouty Poo has certainly filled his Depends on this one. That was the fun part!
P.P.S. How, exactly, did the Democrats loose to PPP? Have we really let our political discourse desend to the level of a bad porn movie fisting scene? We now have the Democrats ineffectual and the Republicans more so. I fear for our government.
Peaceful Responder,
Only one way possible.
Hillary was worse.
The lesson here is that corrupt primaries lead to corrupt campaigns...

How does Obamacare make overdoses? It doesn't pay for prescriptions.
pretend
Obama was a little punk Bitch ass that created a healthcare system that tried to opiate poison the old white people that went through his healthcare system.
History won't be kind to your Demigod Obama he is a Punk and his name will be Shit in the History books.
P.S. Trimp is going to get us all nuked. Just sayin'.
Nobody except Bob2356 is pretending. Obamneycare was implemented in stages beginning the year it was enacted, 2010. It hit with full force in 2014. Try comparing 2009 to 2015. Here is a larger version of the chart:
So can you please explain the link between the spike in deaths by illegal drugs and Obama Care?

The links have been widely reported for years.
"How Purdue’s ‘one-two’ punch fuelled the market for opioids"
"As tens of thousands of Americans die from prescription opioid overdoses each year, an exclusive analysis by CNN and researchers at Harvard University found that opioid manufacturers are paying physicians huge sums of money -- and the more opioids a doctor prescribes, the more money he or she makes."
"Heroin in the Heartland"
One mechanism, reported by CBS: doctors pushed prescriptions for OxyContin, supposedly "not habit forming;" unsuspecting patients became addicted; once addicted, they began trading "free" (insured) OxyContin for heroin, which is cheaper on the illegal market, and keeping the difference in cash or using it to buy more heroin.
contrary to what lying Bob would have you believe, ObamneyCare does cover prescriptions, though not necessarily for what the "beneficiaries" need. Another mechanism: ObamneyCare subsidizes infinitely ("no lifetime caps!") "rehab" programs that have 90% failure rates; the "group" sessions and informal conversations become networking events for addicts to exchange information about where to score and how to continue addiction. ObamneyCare subsidized the demand side; blaming China is a distraction: the Chinese could supply hula hoops for free and it wouldn't matter because there is no market for hula hoops, but ObamneyCare increased dramatically the market for opioids and opiates.
. And, contrary to what lying Bob would have you believe,
Ok, here is a serious question, why do you blame Obama Care and not the doctors? It's the doctors who have been over prescribing oxycontin since the drugs first apperence. Shit, even Rush Limbaugh was addicted well before Obama care. So why don't you put the blame we're it's deserved? Is that an honest enough question.
why do you blame Obama Care and not the doctors?
Or is that not what you were alluding to?
Note the conspicuous absence of marijuana from that chart.
BTW, don't let lying Bob distract you with fake numbers, e.g. claiming only "10 million" on Obamneycare; the Medicaid expansion alone was 15 million, and many of the overdoses are occurring in the Medicaid population. I
I had actually been responding to lying Bob's obviously false claim that ObamneyCare didn't cover prescriptions,
Show what percentage of od's were aca and/or medicaid expansion patients
I'm guessing nearly all fentanyl death are from Illicit fentanyl, prove me wrong.

Gentle Readers,
Why isn't the healthcare replacement anywhere near viable? It's a disasterous effort that the Republicans assured everyone would be "Wonderful!"
Here is an educated guess about that.
1) W. takes office in 2001. The Republican Party has experience at crafting laws and statutes. More or less a party that is capable of governing.
2) 9/11/2001 attacks happen. In response to this, the Repbulican Government does a number of things: cut taxes on the wealthy, enact the Patriot Law, start a war in Afghanistan, start the global war on terror, and so on.
3) Bin Laudin gets away.
4) Afghanistan assumes a back-burner status while Iraq War propaganda is whipped to a frenzy. Oh, don't forget Freedom Fries and Gitmo.
5) Iraq is a debacle and a real, bad civil war starts there. No WMD found.
6) 2004 elections are ok for W. but the Repbulicans begin the process of getting voted out of Congress and the Senate.
7) 2005 and we have Katrina. W. and the Republicans are wearing out their welcome. "Brownie you're doing a heck of a job!
8) 2006 midterms and all of the Repbulicans who know how things work are gone. We now have a Democratic Congress and Senate.
9) 2008 Presidential Elections are a disaster for the Republicans.
This is what did it. All of the capable Republicans are gone in ten years or so. Don't get me wrong, I'm a liberal Democrat. That said, be you Conservative, Moderate, or Liberal, we need experienced politicians that can write laws and understand how things work. What we have are incompetent replacements who don't know how to run a government. I have an example of "governing by first principles" in Louisiana. Gov. Jindal made a huge mess of State Gov't finances by this garbage. He's out of office by the way.
Politics is the art of the possible.
