Major legislation should not be rushed through. Whose stupid idea was it to put an artificial deadline on the AHCA? If the right learned anything from Nancy Pelosi it should be that it's a good idea to know what is in the legislation BEFORE voting on it.

Also, for all the chest puffing and drama, this will not be a major victory or defeat for anyone. It will be a big deal for about a week.

The bill didn't fail because they didn't know what was in it, per your Pelosi comment. It failed because it sucked.

Well, that would be Trump. He's full of them.

You're right, it should take way longer than 7 years to come up with a plan.

Coming up with a plan isn't the problem--there are several of them. Coming up with a plan that Cuck Ryan will bring to the floor is a huge problem.

So we've already reached the acceptance stage.

How much time do you need? It's been 7 years and counting.

What is so special about today? What makes this process over right now?

The passage of 7 years with this steaming pile makes it more difficult to untangle.

But I know you were just trying to be witty with the thing all the cool kids are saying this week. Good one.

Ok. I just assumed that the multiple legislators who said it was changing too fast to keep up with weren't really sure what was in it at any given moment. I'm silly.

I'm confused on this point. How does the President dictate the Congressional calendar? What the frick is going on in that swamp?

I've defended trump on a lot of stuff, but this was a big league dumb move I can tell you.

How hard can it be, with majorities in both House and Senate, to hammer out legislation that will get enough votes BEFORE bringing it to the floor? It should be a slam dunk.

Seven fricking years.

S-E-V-E-N



That's not even counting the 24 years they've had to come up with a plan since they shot down HillaryCare in '93.
