If you’re an architect and you tell a client on multiple occasions that we have lots of ideas,” but produce nothing, your ass would get fired. It’s time to fire these clueless, incompetent clowns formerly known as Republicans, but now identifying as Nazi fascists.

It’s complicated!
Did I get that correct!
Which means you never intended on any healthcare plan being provided or your simple to incompetent to make one!

They’ve been itching to repeal Medicare since Lyndon Johnson signed it into law, and even Social Security since FDR. No replacement for them either. 🤷‍♂️

Their plan is one they can’t tell us because the plan is to let it all be privatized and gutted. They want to let people die. They believe in eugenics.

I look forward to the day a reporter asks Dumb ass Mike Johnson why it is good for him to have a guaranteed income and guaranteed healthcare (i.e. socialism). And also ask him why he supports masked terrorism.

Republicans do not want their base to know that Obama care IS the ACA plan. They want to flame that racist fire. Little do they know that their base is going to burn their asses when they lose their healthcare.

Meiselas: A reporter asked the question that I've been saying over and over again to MAGA Mike: do you support repealing Obamacare? What's your health care plan?
