"Laugh while you can Monkey Boy."
I can see that I won't be able to talk civilly with Democrats about politics until after this November.

I suppose the 'Rats have very short memories of the licking they took in 2010.
Can someone please tell me if this is true. This is from Fact Check which I know is a shrill for the left. Will Congress and their staff have to get the same healthcare plan as the rest of us? I’ve been going back and forth with a flaming liberal friend of mine.

Thanks justiceseeker93.
If you look into it, I believe you will find that Steve Cohen’s district is overwhelmingly black and poor, meaning, that, it will be very hard to replace him with a Republican. Let’s put it this way,... as bad as he is, at least he is, perhaps, just a smidgen better than, say, oh... Sheila Jackson Lee, though that is, I suppose, debatable...
Whoops, a reading-is-fundamental mistake: I somehow saw Steve Israel, but thought Steve Cohen. .... Still what I said about Cohen above is probably right on.
Scum-sucking Democrats are targeting Roscoe Bartlett. I wish them luck, because they’re gonna need it. Bartlett’s not gonna fold like a cheap lawn chair for them.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
BS. They’ll have the same grandiose plan they do now.
“1311...(d) Empowering Consumer Choice-
(1) CONTINUED OPERATION OF MARKET OUTSIDE EXCHANGES- Nothing in this title shall be construed to prohibit—
(A) a health insurance issuer from offering outside of an Exchange a health plan to a qualified individual or qualified employer; and
(B) a qualified individual from enrolling in, or a qualified employer from selecting for its employees, a health plan offered outside of an Exchange.”
It’s allowed in Obamacare. IE: can be “created under this Act “.
Or they can make themselves one even better than they have now- if physically possible...
Thank You..
Thanks for the ping!
“Steve Israel ought to get a new name,”
Steve Palestein.
and the gop forgot and turned LIBERAL and greedy and got thrown out under GWB...because we conservatives sat home in disgust
VERY DEBATABLE, I live in his district. He thinks 0 is like Jesus.
I’m with ya’, Gail! SS was paid for. It’s the politicians who used it to buy votes. And I feel the same way about disability. I’m sure there are some on disability who could work but I guarantee they’re becoming more and more rare. Now it’s too the point that those who SHOULD be allowed to draw on disability can’t get on.
I think you may be confusing Steve Cohen (D-TN) with Steve Israel (D-NY).
Rats being ‘rats, have the mind of rodents..
Hey... you’ve seen one Congressman Steve-D, you’ve seen them all, I say! /s
