This might be a very uneducated question but can this bill be obliterated if we win enough seats?

[Siwsan]

Greedy Bastard cuts rolled back? Money restored to social programs? Things in Congress are so shifty, I'm losing the thread as to what is possible and what is impossible.

1. On'y if we get 2/3's to override Trump's veto.

We need to win the White House in 2020.

[Siwsan]

3. Thanks

Hopefully when "certain' people realize they've been scammed, they will start voting out the bastards and voting in people who actually care about the country.

[dalton99a]

2. 2/3 majority in both the House and the Senate

or, control of the House and the Senate and the White House

[Siwsan]

4. Ok, it's all coming back to me, now

I blame today's fall for scrambling my brain - even though I didn't hit my head. I just need to rationalize away my temporary 'ignorance'.

[superpatriotman]

12. It's okay

Considering the unprecedented gas lighting we are all susceptible to occasional lapses.
It's like trying to perform surgery next to a running bus.

5. But first, dear ones, we must make sure that the voting system isn't corrupt.

11. When we get the numbers again...

It should be the first major push. Test the bounds of the federal governments authority to influence how elections are conducted in states. More transparency, uniformity, and the ability to do a physical recount; while aggressively expanding voters rights.

Then there is the gerrymandering. I think we should keep an eye on what Eric Holder is doing. It might be a great model to build on.

13. YES, EXACTLY!

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Agreed

[BigmanPigman]

6. I have been asking the same question.

I guess we are screwed for years! I will be dead. Thank goodness I chose not to have kids a long time ago as a teenager. My neighbor feels the same way.

[PaxtonSahara]

7. What about repealing it under the same rules the are passing it?

Like the ACA repeal attempt . . . When we win back Senate and House next year.

[Lochloosa]

10. Presidential veto. 2/3 to override it.

[Siwsan]

8. Same here, but now I'm a substitute mom to my niece and nephews

and now I have a grand-niece, too. I'm doing my damndest to make sure that I can leave them something, when I die. We are talking about starting up a multi-generational household so that we can all support each other.

[fierywoman]

14. That's a beautiful idea!

[Siwsan]

15. I've always been very close to all of the kids

I was in their life, starting immediately after their birth, and a week rarely went by when I wasn't with them. When my sister died, our relationships became even closer. So now I am the substitute grandmother to my nephew's daughter, and next month I'll be the Godmother of the Bride at my niece's wedding. It's bittersweet, and it's tough filling my sister's shoes, but also very humbling.

[fierywoman]

17. beautiful, beautiful beautiful! Blessings to all of you.

I truly believe that you and your family are the paradigm of the future.

9. We could repeal, but it would probably be in effect for at least a year.

And once the ACA is gutted, it really would be hard to restore the benefits.

This, at a minimum, does lasting damage and pretty much guarantees that Republicans will be able to drown some social safety net babies in the bathwater.

[Hoyt]

16. Sure, it can be repealed or modified if we vote.

[Yavin4]

18. We tried to tell people in 2016. Tried and tried and tried and tried.

But her emails!!!

[RhodeIslandOne]

19. I just dont trust her

Fucking idiots.

[Yavin4]

22. I trusted Trump and the Republicans

to be the heartless fucking, psychotic assholes that they are. Saw it coming a mile away.

21. Democrats must work together from here on out. True Democrats. nt
