If the GOP truly feels Obamacare will fail...

I don't understand the Republican Party's hardcore efforts to repeal Obamacare for a number of reasons. First off, it's less likely to occur than Leonardo DiCaprio starring in a sequel to Titanic. Not only do Democrats control the Senate, but also the Oval Office with a guy by the name of Obama. 

Another reason why I don't understand Congressional Republicans' seeming obsession with repealing Obamacare is this. Even though the law has yet to be fully implemented, GOPers have declared that the law has failed. That would be like me saying that an expanded background check gun control law has failed even though it hasn't passed through Congress. If Republicans truly feel that Obamacare will fail, which would hurt the Democratic Party's chances in coming elections, why are they so bound and determined to repeal the law before it has been fully implemented? Is that because they're truly worried about people's healthcare or because they're worried that Obamacare, when fully implemented, will actually work and hurt their party's chances in coming elections? If the GOP truly feels Obamacare is going to be as awful as they say it is (even though it was originally a conservative idea and largely supported by the Republican Party), then they wouldn't be fighting this hard to repeal it.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
