We all have been enthralled by the news hitting on a daily basis of Russia and the Trump administration. You wake up, and bam there’s something. Go to work, and bam, there’s something. Go to the bathroom and bam, there’s something. I think you get the point, right?
It’s almost like clockwork. What else is like clockwork? Unwavering GOP defense of Donald Trump. Time and time again, when a story breaks, the GOP at large says things like; “concerning”, “disturbed”, “witch hunt”, “overblown”. Nothing of substance is actually said, which means absolutely no action is taken. As a citizen of this country you sit and wonder, where is the courage to stand up? Where is the courage to do the right thing?
There is no courage only selfishness. It’s about maintaining power. It’s about making sure they have a President who will happily pass their laws without giving one iota of a care of what is in it.
This is exactly how the GOP views healthcare. The GOP does not give a damn about anyone’s health insurance. If they did, this conversation over health care would actually be a conversation and not a 1 month jam the bill down your throats ordeal. All they care about are their tax cuts. The only way to finance those cuts is through killing Obamacare taxes, gutting Medicaid and Medicare. Oh, people who need these programs to stay healthy or just survive might get severely hurt by this? Oh well, as long as we get our tax cuts, it’s no risk to us.
You have to look at these two issues as coming from the same place of selfishness, lust for power and money. The actions taken by GOP representatives is not what normal human beings do. We are empathetic creatures. When we see someone suffering, we want to help them. When we see an injustice occurring, we want to fight back. Selfishness, Power and Money have destroyed any semblance of a soul in these GOP reps.
I’ll end this rant by saying it is possible to talk about healthcare and Russia at the same time because the root causes come from the same place. The GOP only cares about how they can help themselves, not the American people. If that means gutting health insurance to pay for tax breaks or blindly supporting the President during one of the worst scandals since Watergate so they can get Tax reform (cuts), then that is what they will do. It’s always about the GOP’s bottom line, not the American people’s bottom line.
Rant over.
