Congratulations, Pamela! We need a win for Obamacare today!! Hope it’s an epic Trumpcare FAIL!
Good day everyone have a wonderful Obamacare Day
Good Morning, Everyone 🙂
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 3/23/17
Massive, nationwide protest changed course of GOP anti-ACA plan
Rachel Maddow looks at how massive, nationwide protest and resistance attached human stories to the consequences of repealing Obamacare and made the Republican legislative plan much more difficult.
The “Real World”. Not sure what to call the world we live in today….”alternative world”?
Funny/scary about that Carla. Was cleaning out my spam this morning and there was a video of the over 1000 people that Hillary has killed. I just saw that headline before deleting- and thought, what if people actually watch / read that stuff and nothing else… it really is an alternative country. It makes you question what is up and what is down… at least I have to pinch myself almost daily to not get mind-screwed by the topsy turvy of all things crazy right now.

You need a reason to call??? I dare anyone to listen to this arrogant, ignorant asshole and not have your blood boil. THEN call!
Essential healthcare- yes that 60 year old woman will not need maternity care, but will be needing her mammograms. bone density scans and colonoscopies. And 60 year old men? Lets take away their ability to have viagra paid for! You take away a womans birth control then take away viagra for men, and all other insurance coverage for men’s for sexual dysfunction. These cold hearted people do not understand “we” are all in this together.
If you’re on Jason Kander’s email list, you’ve likely gotten a request to take a survey on where they should spend their first TV ad money on protecting voting rights: Virginia, NH or Georgia.
I chose Georgia because there’s an important race coming up soon to replace Price and they also have the most electoral votes out of the three.
Any other opinions? Please vote if you get the email!
ohh didn’t know he had an email list, will sign up asap, thanks!
Thanks! Appreciate what Kander is doing. Giving $ to Ossoff as often as I can afford.
Um no, Republicans see the repeal of Obamacare as a way to fuck everybody over.
Always the media – thinks all politicians treat issues as political weapons. Just maybe, some democrats care about the people having healthcare.
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Friday morning. TGIF>> Congrats wpw, on being first this morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and for the sacrifices you’re making for us TOD’ers. 💫🙏👌👊❤
To all, I hope you are full of curiosity, inquiringness, and inquisitiveness to aid you in discerning all your opportunities today. ❤ ❤ ❤
I am thankful to God that I lived to witness one of the greatest President of The United States of America in President Barack Hussein Obama ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
❤
Wow.
oh I hope this goes on and on with the nos. I actually have believed it’ll pass just because Trump said he’d quit if they didn’t vote now. More than anything Ryan and repubs seem to just want Ocare gone, no matter what it costs to all of us. So meta, this is good news.. feeling a bit more hopeful.
FYI – Propane Jane is on fire once again today.
Jesus. This is getting very, very twisted.
And I watched the end of that & the media questions are STILL defending trump and asking about surveillance. Re Schiff was PERFECT with his final answer.
Yes, exactly. Why are they still running with that story line? It’s plainly hideous.
yep rules no longer apply- they are right out front with their betrayals.
greetings meta…
i really like these podcasts….i try not to miss them…have you listened to the podcast…With Friends Like these
No, I need to catch up! Love them, always have good guests and no BS talk.
Indeed that is needed. The comments that there is no evidence that the voting machines were tampered with makes no sense especially knowing that the russians have been listening in on the US electronic chatter for a while and indulging in hackfests. I was 65% sure the US elections may be tampered with electronically especially after the serious hacking a few weeks before the election, was 95% sure the US was voting machines were tampered with one day after the election and now I am 200% sure the voting machines were hacked and tampered with!
No matter how crazy some appear to be in the states, the number of crazy was not enough to give 45 and his party the win they claim. I am also convinced more republicans knew about the hacks prior to the election and thus are not saying anything because it either benefited them or they just do not care so long as their party is in control or they are afraid to say anything.
Happiness and peace of mind is portable, affordable, quality Healthcare. A right not a privilege. An end to medical bankruptcies. Before Obamacare, I remember a young woman in the news refusing cancer treatment because she didn’t want her husband and young children to lose their house. She got her wish and the children lost their Mother instead. Despite the Supreme Court ruling twice for the ACA, GOP has tried to repeal Obamacare 63 times with each attempt to repeal costing around $1 million. Of course the KOCH brothers really, really, really don’t want you to have any healthcare – they’re still pouring in cash to make sure anything passed is as Draconian as possible.

THANK YOU. I’m going to tweet all that.
Paul Ryan going to the White House to report #Trumpcare 2.0 is failing in votes. Asking whether to pull the bill nor not.
Interesting how McConnell is not in play with this…
The Titanic is now the metaphor for the Trumpcare vote.
Trump….I thought he wanted the vote so he could “take names” and put those that voted no on his “bad dudes” list.
I’ve been watching this all morning and it’s about tanking the bill.
GM Meta.
From @mattdpearce’s Twitter timeline, LOL:
LOLz.
I’m wondering if Trump can do any harm to Ryan, though, since Ryan is the one who can appoint a special commission on Russia.
LOLz
Now as the Republicans scurry out of Washington to get back to their racist enclaves with their limp dicks in tow, it kills them that once again they’ve lost to the black guy. How much winning can one take before it starts to drive one insane? It does not get any easier for Trump or his junta from here on out, for they know that justice is fast on their heels, and she ain’t handing out any get out of jail free cards.
Man, you put that so well. This is a spectacular failure and it’s wonderful for so many reasons, most of all that it proves the power of the people to stop the ugly cynics and preserve healthcare, at least for the moment.
SPOKEN BY THE ONE AND ONLY DON…AS ONLY HE CAN SAY IT…..SHOOOOOOOOOO YOU RIGHT! 😀
Nice summary!
A toast to Don, who makes us all (well, me) want to drink to enacting justice throughout TrumpLand!!
THIS
Yassssssssssssssssssss
As I look back it is amazing what President Obama and Vice President Biden along with a bunch of skittish Democrats got accomplished. As the old African proverb goes; An army of deer lead by lion, will always defeat an army of lions lead by a deer.
I like that proverb; will be adopting it. Thanks.
A kEEPER!!
LOL
Poor fella, he looks dejected. The bags under that guy’s eyes are very telling.
Both Manafort and Carter Page are “volunteering” to testify in Congress.
Yes. I think something is going on.
I hope they both sing like canaries … Manafort to deny any involvement whatsoever in a “Who, me?” stance, and Page to get himself out of “fall guy” status.
OMG
The fastest growing Americans are folks from Asia.
Because Trump can never be wrong or ever take responsibility. Got it.
TGIF 😉
Hello TODable Gorgeous TODbots 😉
Congrats to all the Au ⭐ winners since yesterday Afternoon.
Thanks to Chips, TOD is a Safe PLace. An Oasis, thank you 🙂
I love John Lewis. He is an American hero. Today I cried when he spoke. He understands how much people need the affordable care act. Without it people will die, not in some rhetorical sense but in reality. As a cancer survivor, I am grateful for his words and spirit.
THIS.
hmmm..
Friday afternoon is always a good time to fire people, even the FBI Director. We shall see.
Oooooh, that would be a THING.
GA JO’B.
Or on a Saturday night…
Been thinking a lot about Watergate comparisons lately, and I think the turning point for American public opinion against Nixon happened in Oct 1973 after (from Wikipedia) “dismissal of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973.”
Hope to collect my thoughts on this soon…
Always a good idea to look back in our history for some of the signs as to what might happen in our present … I “lived” through all that and used to watch as much of the Watergate hearings as I could, as did so many others. Nobody can predict the final outcome on this one, but it won’t be pretty – we all know that.
WHAT???
WHOAAAAA. This was BEFORE the election.
Have they started voting on the health care bill yet? I’m at work and just checking in, so would appreciate a short summary. Thanks.
Vote on Trumpcare coming up at 3:30 Eastern
Thanks.
And Corporate Shill Mulvaney can move to another state.
Yes!
New post.

Nothing is surprising here.
Trump is a Chronic & a Habitual Liar.
It’s sad that The Woman candidate was willfully branded as Dishonest & Untrustworthy by the Corp Media, but Don The Con, was laughed off with all his Bad, very Bad Habits. The Media had their Ratings, Made their $$ and USA is left with a deadly Skunk.
Not a big fan of Ezra Klein, but I like this “Sometimes the swamp drains you.”
What killed this bill was the fact that folks HAD Health Care thru Obamacare sometimes for the first time in their lives…and even the republicans in the reddest of states was not going to let anyone take it away without a fight….the GOP Congress people felt that fire breathing down their neck esp those up for re-election in 2018….
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
Exactly. Once people have something, they have hope.
We The People reign – not them! Power to the People!
Trump just told WaPo: “We pulled the health care bill.”
Dolts.
The American people won, #45 and #Trumpcare lost !
