When do we get to say We Told You So.

33. I said it yesterday to an idiot aquaintance

when he complained to a group of us that he had "just gone on Obamacare and now the Republicans were going to kill it, leaving him with the prospect of paying his own $1400 per month premium."

Background: He was a work aquaintance, who last year was just turning 60 and had a great job with great health care, and planned on working to full retirement. And, he was loud and often obnoxious about his "conservative views" and his gun "rights", especially when drinking (So he and I had naturally argued before.). At the time he thought Trump's "business acumen" would make Trump a great president, and denied his obvious lies and misogyny.

Then not long after the election the company decided to eliminate HIS job.

So all of a sudden he figures out that Obamacare is a good deal for him and signs up this time around, and he didn't seem to mind at all when he found a plan that would subsidize almost the entire $1400 a month. But boy was he crying about that "conservative" Texas judge yesterday.

All I said was "womp womp" , and that fortunately he has the good fortune to have enough money to cover the $1400 a month for "just a few years" if the people he voted for eventually win in the Supreme Court.
