I called Rep. Joyce this morning to let him know that even though I don't live in his district, I would be more than happy to drive in every week and work on his defeat in 2018. He voted no.

 

Portman is supposed to be in Cleveland tomorrow for a program on human trafficking. He's got to be crapping his pants right now. It's bad enough he'll be in Ohio but bright blue Cleveland? He'll probably have to drink his dinner just to get out of the car.

Here is a guide to some things we can do to help stop this atrocity.

Robert Reich posted this, which I find hopeful and didn't realize:

To become law, Trumpcare has to go through 4 additional steps:

1. Pass an amended version in the Senate
2. Go to “conference“ to hammer out differences between the House and Senate
3. Pass in the House again
4. Pass in the Senate again

Yep. Now is a good time for us all to reacquaint ourselves with what it takes for a bill to become a law because Toupee Fiasco's cult is running around acting like Obamacare was repealed today.

Kasich is gearing up to run in 2020 isn't he? He's he only prominent GOPer that has stayed away from all of this and has been a cautious supporter of the ACA. I have no interest in seeing another ideologue in the white house(we have Pence there now).

 

Our Governor Rauner in Il a GOP idiot. He indirectly slammed all of the R's in Illinois who voted for this(Rauner is running for re-election in 2018) but he never make any kind of statement on this before the vote, knowing it would have likely ginned up more opposition to the new bill. He's a coward http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170504/NEWS03/170509917/house-passes-obamacare-repeal. He does this now so he can tell people he was against Trumpcare when election season comes.

He says he doesn't plan to but he said the same thing about 2016. Of course if he said he was planning to run in 2020, Kasich would basically be saying either that he wants to make Donnie a one term president. I think Kasich is just in wait-and-see mode because anything can happen over the next three years.

Oh, there's been a few Twitter posts from Trump supporters that make me think they're not up on government processes. One had a GIF of a tombstone with Obamacare's "death" dated today. Naturally, as a concerned citizen I had to inform them that was premature and it still needs to pass the Senate. Hee.

I may have my issues with Sanders and I am not crazy about Chris Hayes constantly being in the tank for him(Maddow and O'Donnell actually have a variety of serving democrats on) but I have to agree with Sanders on this that this was not a healthcare bill but a huge tax cut. But I love the part at the end when they got Trump saying that the Australians have better healthcare. I hope they do use this quote from Trump. They should actually put it in ads and run it in areas Trump won

    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
    • I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.
    • Jordan should have been killed or written out a decade ago.
