After Republicans couldn’t get a repeal bill passed, President Trump commented, “as I have always said, let ObamaCare fail“.
And it will, but the point is, like cancer, to remove it before it takes the patient with it.

One of the grandsons is into Transformers.
He just turned five, and we had a party for him the other day. And, his favorite gifts were the Transformers toys.
Now, Transformers have been around for some time, but he’s not seen the old TV shows from way back. It’s those recent movies that has him all excited for Transformers.
I’m not sure if you’re as excited about Open Threads as my grandson is about Transformers, but we can still enjoy it, right? Because it is now Wednesday Night Open Thread, and it’s your turn to control the topic.

During a joint press briefing in Paris, President Trump said that the French have “a tough president.”
Which sounds like a compliment, but it’s sorta like saying your summer school class has “a brilliant valedictorian”.

Iran has imprisoned an American man for ten years after accusing him of spying on their country.
Really? What’d he do? Steal their secrets for how to create a repressive theocratic tyranny?
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Super scandal! Now there’s collusion between Trump and…
It’s Sarah K’s birthday. It seems like she just had one like a year ago. Women.
Anyway, let’s all wish Happy birthday to SarahK, the Official IMAO T-Shirt Babe and mother of the Next Generation.
So, you’re celebrating July 19th, right? I have been celebrating the day for years, as should you.
But, here’s the question: What would be the perfect gift for Frank J. to present to SarahK today?
I’ve never watched Game of Thrones because of how porny it sounds. I have read the books, though.
If your solution to our problems is “elect Democrats,” you don’t have any solutions and are in fact part of the problem.
And probably goes without saying that “more Republicans” isn’t going to fix things either.
The next Republican presidential nom is probably going to be something idiotic like Kid Rock and Dem one even more idiotic like Hillary.
I need to start charging for my political opinions. I don’t want to devalue them by giving them away for free.
Anytime a corporation support a government regulation, get crazy suspicious.
If no one ever takes the presidency seriously again, Trump will have been our most successful president ever.
Net neutrality thing reminds me of Obamacare repeal in default state of things from few years ago now being sold as doomsday beyond belief.
“We need to support net neutrality to keep people from being taken advantage of by large corporations.”
“Say who?”
“Google.”
We talked less about Russia when they had nukes pointed at us and we’re actively threatening to destroy us.
With Trump as president, it seems like Stranger Things should just be called Things.
So has anyone prominent on the left said something one way or another on the Charlie Gard thing? The silence on the issue is kinda creepy.
On plus side for the GOP, it’s going to be hard to do attack ads on them. “Don’t elect those scary Republicans or they’ll… do nothing.”
I like taking the kids to the pool because it’s my one opportunity to see how far I can throw them.
I have no idea anymore what people imagine capitalism and socialism to be.
Anyway, I’m for whatever system involves less pointing guns at people and telling them what to do.
I also like how freedom leads to adaptable feedback loops and am suspicious of the fragility and inefficiency of centralized control.
The choice isn’t capitalism or socialism which apparently means different things to different people. The choice is free markets or cronyism.
Or to put it another way, do you want your money going to corporations voluntarily or involuntarily?
“Lady Doctor Who, make me a samm-”
has the sandwich already ready because she can travel through space and time
What do you call it when you don’t see any actual outrage but you see lots of people righteously responding to supposed outrage?
I swear, a lot of people preach tolerance and understanding solely to get in fights on the internet.
What does it say about us as a society that we had a female Doctor before a female president? That’s an actual question; I have no idea.
“Finally, a female Doctor Who. What a blow for feminism! This will– Wait, why are there now so many scenes of the Doctor showering?”
Doctor regenerates into a woman
“Time to travel through space and time to find someone outraged by this so I can righteously respond!”
Seriously, it’s like 2% people celebrating a female Doctor Who and 98% loudly berating people supposedly offended by it.
My only hope about the lady Doctor Who is that Donald Trump tweets about it.
New rule: You can only respond to someone being outraged if you actually saw someone get outraged and didn’t have to search for it.
Reading an article that someone somewhere was outraged doesn’t count.
Enjoying The Grinder which only had one season, but it’s American so there’s still more episodes than most long running BBC series.
Sherlock, which has run for seven years, still has fewer episodes than the one half season of Firefly.
Doctor Her?
Now that the Women’s March has succeeded in making the next Doctor Who female, are they disbanding?
There has to be at least a couple women worth celebrating who aren’t cop killers.
Why can’t the Democrats learn from the Republicans and accomplish absolutely nothing when in power?
“Sure we’re completely worthless, but we’re not as bad as the other guys!” -Democrat and Republican slogan for 2018
Rich people don’t deserve their money. The U.S. government deserves it a thousand times less.
Some scientists believe that “strange” signals that appear to be coming from a star close to Earth may have been sent by aliens.
Feminists are reportedly furious that it didn’t translate as “To Serve Man AND Woman“.
I’ve never seen The Room. I’ve heard it’s bad. The clips I’ve seen are bad.
Some say it’s the worst movie ever made. Not having seen it, I can’t disagree. I’m not sure what’s the worst movie I’ve seen. Manos: The Hands of Fate? Plan 9 From Outer Space? Zaat (The Blood Waters of Dr. Z)? Howard the Duck?
I suppose I need to see The Room. One day, maybe.
What’s on your mind? It’s Tuesday Night Open Thread. Your turn to take over and lead the conversation.
