President "Cornered Rat" and healthcare

From Driftglass:

...And the Republican base bought it because they are racist and therefor anything the Kenyan Usurper did must be undone, and because decades of mistaking Fox News and Rush Limbaugh taking a shit in their skulls for wisdom has made them into little more than brute beasts of burden for the sociopaths and con men and demagogues who run the Republican party.

Well it's been 224 weeks since President Cornered Rat was sworn in and began taking a fire-ax to everything we hold dear. 224 weeks, during which he had Republican majorities in both houses of Congress for two solid years and was free to do pretty much whatever he pleased...

Tens of millions of Americans, including virtually every Republican here in the town where Lincoln is buried, will swear to you by the Bizarro Christ they claim to believe in that this shambling death-clown---this gibbering slab of toxic failure---is the Greatest President in American history.

I think that's a pretty important story.

And I think the reason why the mainstream media refuses to treat it as an important story is an even more important story.

George Conway:

...Trump’s lying, his self-regard, his self-soothing, his lack of empathy, his narcissistic rage, his contempt for norms, rules, laws, facts and simple truths — have all come home to roost. Now he sees his poll numbers fall accordingly, and lashes out with ever-increasing anger. 

For deep in his psyche he knows the truth. Because he fears being revealed as a fake or deranged, he’ll call others fake or deranged. Because he fears losing, he’ll call them losers instead.

And while Trump’s mind roils in rage, too many Americans are losing their lives. That’s the losing that matters to everyone but him.
