Trump Gives McCain a Twitter Beating (Thank Goodness)

Another reason I love Donald Trump!

He is not afraid to give a severe lashing to the US Senators who have defied the will of the voters and undermined the best cause for We the People.



He says exactly what is on our minds, and he gives spleen to our frustration.

Check out one of his latest tweets:


Trump is paying attention to the needs of Arizona voters more than their own US Senator!

We need to repeal Obamacare, and the Graham-Cassidy compromise is better than nothing at this time.

The only downside to this proposal is that if states like California or Rhode Island like their Obamacare, they get to keep their Obamacare--and that means that blue state conservatives like me are stuck with bad health care and a terrible, horrible, shrinking health insurance market.



Will California end up placing me under a similar health insurance mandate? Will I have to pay through the teeth for bad health insurance? Worse yet, California could jump feet first into a single-payer scheme.

Then again, the even bluer, more progressive state of Vermont tried to go single-payer, and they Democratic trifecta (at the time) ended up backing away from the whole proposal because the tax hikes would have been astronomical, hurting tax payers so hard that all of the businesses and individual home owners would have simply fled the state.

So, what happens if the states choose to be laboratories of different kinds regarding health care? Let is be that way, then.

Get rid of the Employer and Individual Mandates for starters. Cut government dependence on federally subsidized Medicaid. Let the states figure out how to allocate the funding, whether to pursue health insurance exchanges or to get away from government-run healthcare entirely.



Getting back to John McCain ...

What is wrong with this creepy old senator? He has no interest in doing what is best for Arizonans. He hates President Donald Trump, and he hates the anti-globalist, anti-crony heartbeat of the American people and our President.

He also has stage four brain cancer, and we all know that the latest surgery probably affected his judgement even more than the last 30 years he has spent taking up space in Washington DC. McCain is no maverick. He is a pain in the neck.

At least our President has no qualms about slamming him before everyone in the world! Shame on McCain. He deserves to be pushed out of office, and the rest of us in this country deserve representation which will advance our best interests as taxpaying citizens.

Corrupt Kammy Goes Koo-Koo over Graham-Cassidy Obamacare Repeal

Korrupt Kammy is at it again!

This time, she is going to do everything she can stop the latest attempt to repeal Obamacare.

The Graham-Cassidy compromise would allow for more federalist choice in the matter.

Rand Paul is already opposed to it because the legislation will not grant a full repeal.

This measure creates a wrinkle of sorts at the outset.


Korrupt Kammy
But despite these difficult setbacks, the legislation is already inflaming the Left.

Korrupt Kammy writes for MoveOn.org:

Dear MoveOn member,
After multiple failed attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, my Republican colleagues in the Senate are trying one last-ditch, desperate effort to take away health care access from tens of millions of Americans

A reminder:

Why is it a last ditch effort?

Because the first reconciliation effort outlines at the outset of the session would allow for a simple majority vote to make the bill happen
Here's the truth: This bill, the Graham-Cassidy plan, is an even more damaging draft of Trumpcare than the ones before. Republicans know that it can't pass in the Senate under normal circumstances, so they're putting fast-track efforts into play.

Let's get this right, Republicans. We simply cannot allow this Obamacare program to stay in place.

It is already collapsing under its corrupt, bloated, big government weight!
They have until September 30 to pass this bill without the 60 votes they'd normally need, and because they know this plan is so harmful and is already incredibly unpopular, they are recklessly rushing to a vote in less than two weeks. They're not even letting the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office give a comprehensive score of the bill—including an estimate of how many millions of people would lose health care if this moral atrocity passes.

The same Congressional Budget Office was counting Medicare twice to make it seem as though Obamacare was saving people money, when it wasn't.
We need to stop this bill from passing, so that's why I'm asking you to support MoveOn's emergency campaign to defeat it. Your donation will pay for rapid-response ads and grassroots organizing to stop this bill now— before it's too late.
Here's what MoveOn is working on, and needs your help to expand:
  • Keeping the phones ringing off the hook. They are actively driving calls over email and using advanced analytics and phone technology to empower volunteer teams to call and send text messages to millions of folks who are represented by Republican senators.
  • Protesting on Capitol Hill and across the country to show the intensity of opposition to this bill. Just yesterday, MoveOn organized an emergency rally outside the Capitol that I and a dozen other senators attended—and now they are rolling out actions with allies all around the U.S. over the next 10 days.
  • Running ads in targeted states that expose the horrific cost of repealing the Affordable Care Act.
  • Making grants to local organizers in key states to aid emergency organizing efforts.
For many Americans, this legislation could mean the difference between life and death. The Graham-Cassidy bill not only rolls back protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions, but also includes devastating cuts to Medicaid, dramatic cost increases for seniors and people with disabilities, and many other awful provisions.

Obamacare can go straight to hell. That is exactly what I shouted at Maxine Waters four years ago.

She and I had a meeting of sorts in her office last week. Let's just say that she was not too happy to see me!
If we don't act right now to stop Republicans from rushing this bill into law by September 30, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance.
Arthur, I need you to step up and join us in this fight now. Can I count on you to chip in to fund MoveOn's critical rapid-response work today?
I believe that we can defeat this bill—once and for all. But we can only succeed if all of us work together.
Thanks for all you do.
–Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
Want to support MoveOn's work? The MoveOn community will work every moment, day by day and year by year, to resist Trump's agenda, contain the damage, defeat hate with love, and begin the process of swinging the nation's pendulum back towards sanity, decency, and the kind of future that we must never give up on. And to do it we need your support, now more than ever. Will you stand with MoveOn?

US Senator Rick Santorum: Pass Graham-Cassidy Obamacare Repeal!

Dear Arthur --

We only have until September 30th to get the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson plan that I helped create passed in the U.S. Senate! Please make sure to call your U.S. Senators today at 202-224-3121 and email them here.
In the past few days, we have picked up support from groups like Tea Party Patriots, Family Research Council, Susan B. Anthony List and Operation Rescue. With all these funds covered under the Hyde Amendment, Graham-Cassidy ends taxpayer-funded abortion! It also defunds Planned Parenthood. This is a strong pro-life bill!
Because of this growing support, the left is now going crazy with the reality that they may permanently lose control of health care. Once we block grant money and control to the states, they will never give it back to the federal government. That means the dream of single-payer health care will be gone for good.

No wonder Senators like Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris as well as groups like Moveon.org, OFA, and Planned Parenthood are doing everything they can to get their supporters to contact their U.S. Senators to oppose this plan.
Let’s make sure that our U.S. Senators hear from us! Please call them at 202-224-3121. You can also email them here as well!
Sen. Orrin Hatch has scheduled a hearing on this plan with the Senate Finance Committee for Monday, September 25th. House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that the House will vote on Graham-Cassidy after it passes the Senate. We are almost to the 50 votes needed!
Together, lets help pass the Graham-Cassidy health care plan that will finally end Obamacare, stop taxpayer funded abortion, defund Planned Parenthood and end any possibility of single payer health care!
Sincerely,
