Just in: Senate Vote Result on Repeal of Obamacare...

The results have just been released, and the Senate vote to "repeal Obamacare..." has FAILED!"

All this, despite even a 'provision' to allow for up to 2 years to come up with a "better plan," and yet the vote has still FAILED!

I'm going to predict right now, the Republican party is going to be in 'big trouble' come next year when the mid-term elections occur. As it currently stands, the GOP 'owns' BOTH the House and the Senate (along with the presidency).

Yet, with all the 'in-fighting' among GOP lawmakers in both the House and the Senate, and now yet another 'defeat,' there's going to be a price to be paid by the republican party.

Never mind the democrats. They've done nothing but perpetuate this entire false "Russia-gate" narrative, and just as bad have been nothing but "obstructionists!" The partisanship in Washington is at an all time high, and I would put ALL the blame on both Hillary Clinton ("Resist") and Obama, now a 'private citizen' who's actively been working behind the scenes to "oppose Trump" which is unprecedented in the history of the United States when it comes to 'former presidents,' whom have traditionally had 'nothing to say' with respect to their successors.

But of course 'Obama' has NEVER been your 'typical' politician. And his own actions, as "president" showed all along his 'dislike' for his own country. Why Obama was never "impeached" (as during his 2nd term in office) the republicans ran BOTH the House and Senate, ironically (understatement) having taken back control on their "promise to repeal and replace" Obamacare!

So, just as President Trump stated only yesterday, the Republicans came into power on the "promise" of repealing and replacing "Obamacare," and have failed (miserably, I might add). I'll take it even a step further by saying, they haven't even 'tried,' until Trump won the presidency! So much for these Republicans "promise!" Is it any wonder why politicians have such a 'low approval rate?'

I think not.

Get ready for all hell to break loose as the president learns about the results to today's Senate outcome. One thing I think we can all be sure of is Trump will most definitely 'speak out' about his own party's failure to 'keep their promise.' And while theses GOP "idiots" in the Senate (and House) probably think 'most' have forgotten just how and why the republican party was able to re-take the House, and the Senate, I'm sure many Americans have not.

Yet, in another unrelated vote, the House has "passed" various "sanctions" targeting Russia, Iran and North Korea. I don't know about you, but I think "health care" is just a little more important than these 'stupid sanctions' that most Americans could probably even care less about.

It was only days ago that this year's Congress was named as being one of (if not) THE "most unproductive" Congress in over 160 years. I've said it before, and I'll continue saying it until it happens, the GOP is in 'desperate' need of new leadership in both the House and the Senate. Paul Ryan (Speak of the House) and Mitch McConnell (Senate Majority leader) have both proven themselves totally at odds with not only the American people, but with their own president.

Collins on hot mic: Farenthold 'so unattractive, it's unbelievable'

So, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) was caught on a 'hot-mic' talking badly about a senate colleague (listen here). You'd think these people would know better, so many public figures in the past have been caught making some of the strangest remarks on a 'hot-mic.' But, I suppose some just still don't 'get it.'

In her remark caught on the 'hot-mic,' she talked poorly about the 'looks' of one of her own colleagues. Yet, consider the source! I really don't think Collins, I won't even give her the dignity of referring to her as a 'Senator,' but I don't think this woman has much to speak about when it comes to 'looks.'

Though she did 'apologize' (using a surrogate), too late. Now we all know you're a person who takes 'cheap shots' at even members of her own party. But just think, if these people have the nerve to speak about their own in such a derogatory manner, how do you think this women would speak of  her very own 'constituency?' Probably in the same fashion.

Just for the record, this is a woman who is known as a RHINO (republican in name only). So not only is this woman a 'nasty' woman, she's not even 'loyal' to her own party. But she's an 'elitist.' A narcissistic woman (who needs to look into the mirror herself), and she comes from a very wealthy family with a very 'dark, and sinister past.'        

"Dark Shadows"

Anyone ever hear or remember the old 'soap opera' from the early to middle 1970's called "Dark Shadows?" It was not your average 'soap-opera,' as this series involved "vampires," the main character being Barnabas Collins, who incidentally played the lead role as the "Count" himself. Now this was not his 'real life name,' but his character's name.

Well, word has it from credible sources (I'll leave it at that), Dark Shadows was based off a real family whose surname was "Collins." Sound familiar? And though the series took place in Rhode Island, and Sen. Collins is from Maine, there is a 'family connection!' And this Collin's family had quite the reputation of being heavily involved into the "occult."

Incidentally, actress Joanne Collins (I believe is her first name), and Jackie Collins (writer) are all 'related' to Senator Collins. Anyone who's seen the show, which is still run on some channels in some cities was a 'cult classic,' with a big following. But what is not well known is the fact this television series (which ran for a long time) was based on a real life family by the name "Collins."

Just a little ride down 'memory lane' to help put things into perspective. Isn't it also a bit unusual that Sen. Collins has been in the Senate for quite a long time, and I don't think she's even faced a real challenger all these many years later. Nor do I see her 'leaving' any time soon. So, maybe she herself too is a "vampire!?"

PS, just for the record, I am not claiming the 'real Collins family' for whom the television series Dark Shadows had any connections to "vampires," that was all Hollywood. But, the fact is the Collin's family themselves were indeed- very much connected into the "occult." And as the TV series suggests, they are an old family going back 'centuries.' But (again), no 'vampires' in real life (Hollywood added that in for dramatic effect).

PPS, how could I forget this?! Speaking of "Rhode Island" which is where the Collins family actually comes from, how 'coincidental' that Ms Collins was joking around on the 'hot-mic' with none other than a Senator from "Rhode Island," Sen Jack Reed (D-RI)! Creepy, huh?
