So twelve million people are about to lose their health insurance. No more protections for pre existing conditions and no plan to replace since Trump doesn't have the house anymore all because Trump feels vindicated?
12 million? If Trump gets what he's pushing for now, the number they're saying is over TWENTY million. Not to mention absolute chaos in the health care market, since they don't want any kind of ramp down; they want it erased IMMEDIATELY. So no one will know what is or isn't in effect. The Dems passed a bill fixing some of the holes in the ACA, but we all know McScumbag won't allow it to come up for a vote. He's having more fun letting the Green New Deal come up so his idiotic caucus can prove they're the largest bunch of morons to ever hold government in a civilized country. Witness Mike Lee of Utah using, and I shit you not, Aquaman, Tauntauns from Star Wars, and FUCKING RONALD REAGAN ON A VELOCIRAPTOR to argue that Climate Change is bullshit, and the world would be better off if everyone got married and had more children:

One of Obama's largest mistakes as President, honestly; he spent way too much time and goodwill trying to get both the Republicans and the Blue Dog Dems to work with him, when it was obvious that the former were determined to treat him like a foreign usurper and the latter wanted to maintain the status quo at all costs. And quite frankly, just looking at what Lieberman has done since then... Obama really should have told him to fuck right off.
Edit: It's probably worth mentioning that Barr's conclusion with respect to obstruction of justice is complete bullshit if you think about it for even 10 seconds. According to Barr, Trump hasn't committed any obstruction of justice because he's never been charged with a crime, and thus cannot have obstructed anything. But by THAT logic, all you would have to do to avoid being charged with a crime is destroy any evidence of it before anyone gets around to actually charging you with it. This is in fact the very scenario that obstruction of justice was CREATED for, because it's entirely possible that the act of obstruction could have prevented the authorities from getting the evidence needed to prove a crime had been committed. Obstruction does not require the person obstructing to be charged with a crime, as Barr claims.
Oh, and by the way, they did charge Michael Flynn with a crime. Trump ordered James Comey to drop the charges against Flynn, and then fired him when he wouldn't do it. That, right there, is textbook obstruction of justice. It might not have been had they went with the original explanation, but Trump just HAD to get up on TV and boast about how he did it to end any investigations involving Russia... Which included Flynn's charges.
And then there's the fact that he ordered his underlings to lie to Congress. Lying to Congress is perjury, and getting witnesses to lie is both obstruction AND witness tampering. And it's probably worth mentioning that they got Bill Clinton for supposedly getting witness to lie to Congress... So Barr and the Repubs are basically arguing that for unspecified "reasons", Trump is immune to being charged for the same crimes as Bill Clinton.
Barr's argument is so stupid that a non-lawyer could see right through it.
