Well worth clicking to read the entire article, which does a good job of explaining how and when this could happen.

Not to mention dangling Gulan in front of Erdogan. Drying up ISIS funding before he even is inaugurated? Magnificent.

The Dems can either help fix the mess they created over the past 50 years or get out of the way.

Yes. Fire all those thousands of new IRS employees they hired to process our Obamacare penalties and tax credits!

Uh, this article failed to point out that the “arcane” budget reconciliation process was EXACTLY how the Dems got obamacare passed in the first place, AND it didn’t take months either as the Dems rammed obamacare through on Christmas Eve. Least anyone forget or be mislead by one-sided articles like this one!

...

There was an urgency to find out what was in it.

zer0bama’s signature piece of garbage soon to be toast. It is almost worth the past 8 years to see his utter demise and his legacy destroyed. Payback is certainly a bitch. Choke on it obastard

I’d pay 49.95 on pay per view to see 10 protesters against 10 bikers :)

And Trump will make it happen, with the help of the R majority in Congress.

Well, the Dems pushed the limits of the budget process to pass it. They even dropped the Senate bill lock stock and barrel into a house bill so that they could pretend it originated in the house. All because they were shy 1 vote of the 60 they needed to pass it in the Senate.

Since it passed under budget reconciliation, I don’t see why it can’t be repealed the same way. Good for the Goose, good for the Gander.

“Remove individual mandates too.”

That’s right, SCOTUS said that the penalties under the individual mandate were a “tax,” so surely Congress could repeal them in budget reconciliation.

Wow, you get a decent president-elect and all kinds of things start falling into line. I’m not about to say they’re suddenly good guys. I think they know the ass-kicking coming if they don’t do their jobs. The new president isn’t going to couch it in the media, he’ll make it known far and wide that these guys suck and will tell just how and why so that it’s irrefutable.
