Over the past twenty-five years, it has become a common refrain to bemoan the increasingly partisan nature of our politics. And thoughthis polarization is terrible, so is hearing pundits constantly talk about how Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan were friends. In fact, the next time I hear someone on cable news mention their friendship, I think I'm going to drown myself with jelly beans. But as bad as the factional state of the political world has become, the upside to it for a politician is that you usually have about half the country staunchly in your corner.

Maybe It’s a Bad Sign When Hospitals Come Out Against Your Healthcare Plan But what do hospitals know about healthcare? Oh, right.

Unfortunately for Paul Ryan, he is not even getting that benefit. No, he is getting roasted by both sides and for good reason. His Trumpcare health plan (Ryancare is an alternative name for it, but battles must be picked) is an atrocious, poorly thought out tax cut for the rich disguised as a healthcare plan. This has led to some epic takedowns from those on both sides of the aisle. Take for example, Bobby Kennedy's grandson, Congressman Joe Kennedy III, who called Ryan out in an immensely satisfying speech that used both Christianity and basic human empathy to tear Ryan and his plan apart:

But he's a Democrat, right? Hell, he's more than a Democrat. He's a Kennedy! Of course he's going to be against a Republican speaker of the house's plan to repeal a signature bill spearheaded by a popular Democratic president. But Tucker Carlson? The Fox News-host and Bow Tie Makers of America's former "Man of the Year"*? He's also going after Ryan too? Yeah. Yeah he is.

You know you've fucked up when a Kennedy AND a Fox News Host are going after you for your totally tone-deaf and unnecessary tax cut. I'm sorry, I meant "healthcare plan."

Trump's Amazing Speech Didn't Age Well, Huh?
