Morning Joe opened with regular order Thursday hammering all things Trump and his cohort of swamp Republicans. As the GOPs zombie frankenstein monster of an Obamacare replacement bill geared up for a last stand in the Senate, Joe came out strong (again) against the legislation.
The ex-Republican Congressman blasted his old colleagues, who he said were lying on television about what was going on. Some of my friends and they are friends and thats why it hurts so much are getting on TV and lying every day to the American people. Lying through their teeth about whats in this bill and whats not in this bill.
In addition to that, JScar said that passing the bill without a CBO score, committee hearings, and the other trappings of regular order was a violation of the Conservative principles that all his friends profess to stand for. That is something Edmund Burke would have called radical, something that Russel Kirk would have called radical, something William Buckley would have called radical, something that in his time Paul Ryan would have called radical, he said. You cant order 1/6 of the American economy without a committee hearing.
I feel like youve said this before said Mika Brzezinski
Its Déjà Vu for us too, Mika.

Sadly, the GOP has established itself as the party of falsehood.

(82,849 posts)You know, like spread the word to people about your friends. But how? How? How could you possibly tell anyone about your distress and the reasons for it? Probably best to just suffer in silence, Joe. You can't do anything about the subversion of our government and can only watch, helpless and hurting, as the damage increases day by day. Sad.
