Now Trump is claiming he never said anything about repealing and replacing, he said let Obamacare explode for the past 1.5 years. The Trumpcult is easy. They've got a weekend to spin a bunch of lies on Sunday morning about everything being all good. It's campaign rally time.

 

Meanwhile, Comey was spotted leaving the White House. And all the TrumPutins want to voluntarily testify. Did Devin Nunes promise to ask them silly questions to show they have nothing to hide? Flynn better be checking his food for poison since that seems to be Putin's go-to death move.

I can understand why Pelosi was so gleeful, because I know the alternative was worse, but it's hard for me to get past the reality of knowing that the GOP will just make sure Obamacare is a rotting old house, left in disrepair, pillaged and scavenged until nothing is left but vague hints of promise when you look at it from the right angle. This will also be spun as "good" for the GOP (obviously not for Trump or Paul Ryan) which means voters will return to giving them a pass, as they so often do. As always, Republicans win no matter what.

So...what happens now?  Will the GOP try again?  Does Obamacare remain as it is?  Have they made changes to the ACA, repealed and/or replaced ANY part of it?

    • As most rugby players are. WOOF!!!   FINALLY!!! And WORTH THE WAIT.    
    • I'm not saying he was right. I'm just saying he wasn't screaming. I hope we see him apologize on screen.
    • Incline walking Weights  Sprints. I just saved you that click on the article.
    • lol.   I mean...I wouldn't mind his workout secrets. But NOPE on anything insta.    
    • I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.
    • Emma, FTW!!!!!! Her words today to Joss were beautiful. And so well deserved!

      If only Cam had been the one to say it
    • -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?
    • This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.
