McConnell tells GOP tens of millions of Americans will "get over" Republicans fucking them out of Medicaid. USA! USA!

[Miles Archer]

"Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) warned GOP senators during closed-door mtg that their Medicaid provider tax framework will cost Republicans seats in 2026, comparing it to their 'Obamacare' — a reference to Dem losses due to rocky rollout," wrote Desiderio.

Tillis, one of the holdouts on the Medicaid cuts, got into an argument with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) "over the provider tax language."

"Tillis said Senate should use House framework. Thune defended Senate approach as key component of spending cuts target. But Tillis, Moran, Hawley, Collins, others still oppose it," Desiderio continued.

After that, Desiderio noted, McConnell, who previously served as GOP Senate leader himself, "gave a short speech saying 'failure is not an option' and added: 'I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.'"

1. But the billionaires will not get over losing their huge tax cuts.

[brush]

2. Evil bastard. Old as he is, he still doesn't have any empathy for those his own age.

[DFW]

3. Kinda harsh, when "getting over it" means dying.

Once again: institutionalized cruelty.

[sheshe2]

10. The cruelty.

"Well, we all are going to die," Ernst responded. "For heaven's sakes, folks," she continued with a smile.

12. In that case, Joni, you first please

Show us all how it's done, and we'll consider following your example when we're good and ready.

(might be a while, just so you know)

[sheshe2]

15. By all means!

Make it so.

[mcar]

4. No asshole, they'll die

Moscow Mitch is one of the evilist villains in modern history.

6. Ghoulish Motherfucker.

5. And his...

Dementia strikes again.

Why isn't he dead yet?

[Bettie]

17. Because it seems as though

pure malice keeps one alive far longer than anything else.

[2naSalit]

19. He appears to be...

Living proof of that!

[surrealAmerican]

7. "Get over it" is a euphemism.

He means they will die before the next election - or at least be too sick to vote.

8. Reminds me of the pilot who lost control of the

Plane that was headed nose to the ground. He gets on the intercom and said, brace for impact. True story. No one survived. If there is any justice in the world the Republicans will lose power for another 70 years,

9. Fk McConnell

He has his free health insurance and does not care at all about everyday Americans.

11. Sad thing is the people that get the big tax cuts won't even notice the entry

in their account. To them it is just a number. They give no thought to people losing food, shelter and health care. Their beautiful minds give others little thought. Our wealth class is disappointing.

13. Shut your lettuce hole Mitch

[madinmaryland]

14. Go eff yourself, right fucking now, Glitch!

[Bettie]

16. OH! I get what he's saying

It's "Well, I never had trouble paying my medical bills!" and "Once they die, we won't hear from them again!".

[ananda]

18. I guess "get over" means die.

All these doublespeaks and euphemisms
are really getting on my nerves.

[PatSeg]

20. This needs to be put on billboards,

especially in Kentucky.

Of course, they WILL probably get over it, because many will die just like Joni said.

[hildegaard28]

21. Well

I guess it’s easy to get over things when you die prematurely.
