Ashes to Asses

You know, if I thought any of them had a heart, I’d do this.

 

The Optics

Here is a bunch of old white guys strutting up to the Oval Office to congratulate themselves for a trillion dollar tax cut to the wealthiest 2%.  Oh yeah, and they dropped health care for 24 million Americans.

And there’s Ole Louie Gohmert right at the head of this death panel.

 

Home Grown Terrorists.

You cannot celebrate Cinco de Mayo if you support the wall.

 

It Must Be Our Lucky Day

Donald Trump is ushering in death panels today but there’s an added bonus – the religious right can hate us with official US Government approval before we die.

He’s signing a “religious freedom” executive order today that will allow the church lady to holler and discriminate against people in the name of Jesus.  He threw out that separation of church and state thing. My heart breaks over this.

In honor of this executive order, I would like to share my favorite hymn with you. It has gotten me through some rough times, and I wish every day that my Grandma Rose was was singing it to me just one more time.

 

You may not use Sweet Jesus as your own personal weapon.

 

May The Fourth Be With You (And The Astros)

Your service here at the salon is always temporarily interrupted during baseball season – especially for day games.

I know it’s a crisis day in Washington, DeeCee, y’all, but we’re playing the Rangers on the last day of this home stand, and we’ve had a pretty near flawless record against them this time.  Game time is at 1:00.  Yes, I know I was just there last night, and the night before that, and the night before … oh hell, I could legally change my voter registration to the ballpark.  Yes, I know I have to drive 45 minutes to get there and then ride the train for a couple of miles, and then walk a few blocks, and I don’t understand why they just won’t let me pitch a tent and stay all night because it ain’t like they lack the space or anything, but it’s baseball and I flat love baseball.

So, May the Fourth Be With You  to call your congressfool all damn day long.  Use this thread to talk about it.

 

This was taken two years ago on May 4th.  It still makes me smile.

 

Name Changer

Republicans named Obamacare and now they can’t wait to kill it because IT SAYS OBAMA, y’all.

The latest plan will come close to dropping half the people under current employer-based healthcare, says the Wall Street Journal.

They can drop maternity care.  They can put limits on exactly how much healthcare you can get.  They can drop drug abuse programs in the midst of an opioid crisis.  They are gonna mess with you.

The changes to employer-based plans would affect anyone who is not insured by Medicare or through small-business plans, since the GOP bill includes cuts to Medicaid and changes to the individual market, the newspaper reported.

That’s about half of all Americans.

So these are the death panels Republicans warned you about.  Hey, it was nice of them to give us a heads up.
