McCain: No Sir, I Don't Like It!

McCain sinks Trumpcare again.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) confirms that he is against the Republicans shameless attempt at repealing and replacing Obamacare.

First things first, Meghan McCain, the daughter of the old fool exited Fox News this week. She leaves Outnumbered, a show in which she and three women debate "one lucky guy" on the couch at 12pm.

McCain is a possible replacement on The View. Jedediah Bila quit The View after her harsh interview with Hillary Clinton. It's alleged that producers didn't want Bila to stray away into stupid talking points from far-right blogs and fake news websites.

Meghan McCain was likely to be one of the hosts on The View, so I assume that's where she'll go if the money's right.

Okay, the 81 year old senator is breaking away from his old buddy Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Graham and Bill Cassidy, the senator from Louisiana drafted this crappy bill to replace the Affordable Care Act.

“I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried. Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will effect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it. Without a full CBO score, which won’t be available by the end of the month, we won’t have reliable answers to any of those questions.

“I take no pleasure in announcing my opposition. Far from it. The bill’s authors are my dear friends, and I think the world of them. I know they are acting consistently with their beliefs and sense of what is best for the country. So am I.

“I hope that in the months ahead, we can join with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to arrive at a compromise solution that is acceptable to most of us, and serves the interests of Americans as best we can.”

The bill has already driven such controversy it got in the attention of comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

The comedian had addressed to the nation that his son has to go through triple bypass surgery for his heart. Kimmel had criticized Cassidy for not being truthful when he presented his case to repeal such a complicated law.

McCain who dealing with brain cancer is demanding Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to work across the aisle with the Democrats to pass a reasonable and compassionate healthcare care law.

Jimmy Kimmel had let them have it. The comedian had criticized Republicans and conservative agitators who questioned his opinion about the situation. Kimmel thinks Republicans need to think before passing laws they don't even read. When Brian Kilmeade a Fox News criticized Kimmel for being an elitist, the comedian struck back by saying "guess who you voted" in to the White House.

The world's most ineffective leader, Donald J. Trump continues to push Republicans on a path to their destruction. He demands the Senate to pass the health care law on a simple majority vote. So far the Republicans have not enough members on board with this.

Besides McCain, there's other on the fence and a strong "no" vote.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Senator Dean Heller of Nevada, and Senator Shelley Capito Moore of West Virginia have expressed concern about the law.

The Senate will debate this and then have a floor vote soon. Pressure is on for Republicans to pull the law. If the Republicans do compromise and pass this law on a simple majority, they could throw almost 30 million Americans off of health insurance.
The bill is sunk.
The Republicans and their obsession with cutting the government will backfire.

We already have money being spent on disaster relief. We have nearly $20 billion being spent to fix areas destroyed by natural disasters.

The wildfires, Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Maria destruction has destroyed Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands.

Millions of Americans are without jobs, homes, food, electricity, and a livelihood.

The Congress is pussyfooting on passing legislation that can help rebuild these areas.

The Republicans and their obsession with trying to starve people with these draconian cuts to the safety net isn't helpful. It's just plain out pathetic.

Republicans want to protect the Confederate soldiers monuments, take away Healthcare from millions of Americans, keep transgender men and women from the military, go to war with countries just over simple political disagreements, and among other things the other stupidity of those in Congress who refused to acknowledge climate change.

The Republican party is truly "the party of stupid."
