14. Hey, Boner, you look ill. Maybe you should see a doctor. Don't worry...

you're covered with govt healthcare insurance.

[freshwest]

20. And so will 30 million other Americans...

Bernie Sanders: A Good Day

A Good Day

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the Affordable Care Act. Sen. Bernie Sanders welcomed the ruling. "Today is a good day for millions of Americans who have pre-existing conditions who can no longer be rejected by insurance companies. It is a good day for families with children under 26 who can keep their children on their health insurance policies. It is a good day for women who can no longer be charged far higher premiums than men.

"It is a good day for 30 million uninsured Americans who will have access to healthcare. It is a good day for seniors who will continue to see their prescription drug costs go down as the so-called doughnut hole goes away. It is a good day for small businesses who simply cannot continue to afford the escalating costs of providing insurance for their employees. It is a good day for 20 million Americans who will soon be able to find access to community health centers.

"It is an especially good day for the state of Vermont, which stands to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in additional federal funds to help our state achieve universal health care.

"In my view, while the Affordable Care Act is an important step in the right direction and I am glad that the Supreme Court upheld it, we ultimately need to do better. If we are serious about providing high-quality, affordable healthcare as a right, not a privilege, the real solution to America's health care crisis is a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system. Until then, we will remain the only major nation that does not provide health care for every man, woman and child as a right of citizenship.

"I am proud that Vermont is making steady progress toward implementing a single-payer system. I hope our state will be a model to show the rest of the nation how to provide better care at less cost to more people."

[freshwest]

12. More like about to have to hand the gavel over to Madame Speaker...

[YoungDemCA]

10. LMAO

Thanks for that.

[okieinpain]

16. that has to be photoshopped, it has to be. believing that

picture is real would leave me no choice but to believe in aliens from underground or that romney really gives a damn about working people. LOL.

[JackBeck]

19. Not photoshopped, but was taken yesterday. Look at the caption underneath the photo.

Didn't stop me from posting it on Facebook, though.

[freshwest]

46. Caption reads: 'Dems 'ecstatic,' GOP vows fight as court upholds healthcare law'

And just because I enjoyed so much:



From the L.A. Times article link:

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-dems-ecstatic-gop-vows-fight-as-court-upholds-healthcare-law-20120628,0,4495490.story

Oh, don't worry, it's real, alright.

Thanks Madame Speaker...

[progressivebydesign]

51. a fight? Well.. are they going to appeal to the Universal Court in outer space?

If that POS campaign giveaway ruling can't be undone, then this can't be.

[freshwest]

53. If Romney takes it to Kolob to get it overturned, we'll know how the Universe is set up!

Although I think it's in another dimension, so it may not effect us much.

[Spazito]

17. OMG, that pic says it all!

Someone for the American people (Pelosi) versus someone for Koch brothers (Boehner).

[freshwest]

47. +1

[hifiguy]

18. The Orange Man looks like a cat that just swallowed

a sour mouse.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. Looks like Eric Cantor just gave him a colonoscopy

[SoCalDem]

22. the sound track for Boner's pic

[pacalo]

33. That second video deserves an additional visual...

[freshwest]

56. ...

Next, student loans...

As Boehner said, if your parents didn't make enough money to pay for your college education, you were born to be a ditch digger. So just get to it!

[truebrit71]

23. That's a great picture!

Priceless!

[rateyes]

24. Better not pout, Johnny,

Santa is watching.

[pacalo]

25. "Kinda (sniff) puts a damper on today's contempt vote for Holder."

[GObamaGO]

26. Boehner better be careful

His face could freeze like that.

[southern_belle]

27. LMAO

Good one!

[PatSeg]

28. What an incredible shot

Reminds me of that photo of McCain during a presidential debate that made him look like a troll.

[PatSeg]

32. Here it is

[SoCalDem]

40. His horse finished last

[BumRushDaShow]

41. I just saw Cheeto's press conference

and he talked just the way that picture looks - like he had indigestion from all that alcohol that he's been downing.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

44. What is it with Republicans that they act like cameras don't exist?

This was the most important moment for them to keep their cool and they just can't help themselves from providing the most iconic photo of the whole debate.

[Fla Dem]

45. Sweeeeet!!!! n/t

[flpoljunkie]

48. The photo was taken yesterday, but it's perfect for today!

[malthaussen]

49. Weird, the pic is dated yesterday...

I'd love to believe this is real -- and if the LA Times published it, it has to be true, right? But the credit is for yesterday. It must be some other crow-eating episode.

-- on edit: posted at the same time as flpoljunkie. Interesting story at the link, giving the context of the pic.

52. I hope he'll be crying in November.

And by that I mean that we win back the House and keep the presidency.

[UTUSN]

54. Let's hope we *DON'T* get blowback like from the WELLSTONE memorial

ON EDIT: OMZ!1 Once again, my careless typing and lack of proofreading has led me to post something that would be contrary to what I intended. What I typed was, "Let's hope we get blowback like from the WELLSTONE memorial," now (many hours later) I have shocked to detect the missing "*DON'T*" and have inserted it.

Luckily, nobody saw it or else grokked my intention (magically) or, more likely just shrugged it off as one more of my erraticisms.


I was talking about that gloating might lead to blowback against us, the way some of our WELLSTONE grief led to lashing out in a way that brought blowback at us.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

55. words cannot describe how much

I hate that boner-guy. Ugh, he's repulsive!!!


LOVE NANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HappyMe]
