That awkward moment when Republicans failed to kill Obamacare but they bought boastful TV ads anyway and **w they're airing, LOL

Opponents of Donald Trump's failed healthcare bill got a big, meme-filled laugh (http://mashable.com/2017/03/24/healthcare-paul-ryan-donald-trump-meme/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) yesterday. But fans of both basketball and the Affordable Care Act? Well, they got perhaps the biggest laugh of all.
According to a report from Deadspin (http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/basketball-fans-treated-to-ads-congratulating-republica-1793629526), a PAC called American Action Network purchased a ****** of ads thanking several Republican members of Congress for "keeping [their] promise" to repeal and replace Obamacare.*
Of course, this didn't happen: As of Friday, Obamacare is alive and kicking, and the Republicans are facing the bitter sting of defeat.
