LET’S OVER-UNDER THIS THING

Exactly what are the odds that if the GOP repeals Obamacare on a free-standing vote, it will ever take the time to come up with any type of replacement bill at all?

AS USUAL

with a GOP “victory,” there are many dubious benchmarks surrounding the electoral probity of Handel’s defeat of Ossof.

Where paper ballots were used, Ossof was ahead.

Where completely unverifiable black box voting machines were used, Handel trumped him–indeed.

At Alternet, Lulu Friesdat tallies “the many, troubling questions” concerning the voting equipment used to secure Handel’s win.

MUSICOLOGY AT ITS BEST

Indispensable: Paul Jackson’s three-volume series on the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts.

I’ve read Vol 1 & Vol 3 — am halfway through Vol 2. (You know I prefer not strict linear progression.)

LEAVE IT TO BEN SASSE

The aging frat boy, freshman Senator from Nebraska is just back from the Kochs hate-in floating a zombie resurrection of an outlier barometer of how the United States can descend into bedlam.

Repeal Obamacare instantly–or give it one more year’s grace period.

Replace it. . .manana.

Whenever.

THOMAS EDSALL vs. MICK MULVANEY

One of them is a completely immoral weasel.

In a filthy editorial Mulvaney wrote, which I don’t want to link to because it might soil you, Mulvaney uses the Southern Strategy of pretending that only The Other receives Medicaid.

In The New York Times, Edsall completely deflates Muvaney’s vile, treasonous attempt to play the race card and demonize Medicaid recipients with all sorts of ersatz insinuations.

Nothing that anyone connected to Trump says has any connection to reality.

Whites receive far more Medicaid subsidy than do people of color.

Next, Edsall turns to James Bond bossman Mitch McConnell.

LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY TAKES UP WHERE ANDREA TANTAROS LEFT OFF

Gosh, Fox “News” seems to have an endless supply of perky, vicious and fatuous dittoheads to mock reality as well as the American people–doesn’t it?

Imagine how perky Ms. Kennedy Montgomery would be if Fox got stingy with her own health insurance.

At Daily Kos, Jen Hayden supplies sick-making details of this smiling barbarian.
