President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Spend money on poor kids? Throw 'em back and find another one that's not diseased yet.

 

CBO says FUCK YOU to random internet "news" source:

Proposed Rescissions for the Children’s Health Insurance Program

The proposals would rescind approximately $7 billion. Of this, $5.1 billion would be rescinded from the unobligated balances made available by section 301(b)(3) of Public Law 114-10, and $1.9 billion would be rescinded from amounts made available for fiscal year 2018 under the Child Enrollment Contingency Fund, section 2104(n)(2) of the Social Security Act.

CBO was asked for its assessment of the proposed rescissions’ effect on federal spending and insurance coverage. Authority to distribute the funds to states made available under section 301(b)(3) expired in 2017. In addition, based on information from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CBO projects that the rescission from the Child Enrollment Contingency Fund would not affect payments to states over the 2018-2028 period. For these reasons, CBO estimates that rescinding the unobligated balances would reduce budget authority by $7 billion, but would not affect outlays, or the number of individuals with insurance coverage.

 

Fair enough.

 

Nothing says #MAGA like taking kids' health insurance.

 

Opinion | Trump’s clownish conduct earns him no respect from U.S. allies or adversaries

It is difficult to recall a more openly antagonistic relationship between the United States and Europe since the end of World War II — one that delights Putin, who has long sought to divide the Western alliance. At a time when we face multiple threats from Russia, China, Islamic terrorism, Iran and more, we are losing the trust of allies whose assistance is critical to our national security and economic prosperity. ...

Trump promised to start winning around the globe and to earn respect from other countries. We are not winning; we’re not even in the game. And thanks to Trump’s clownish, irrational conduct, adversaries see an opening to achieve their ends, simply by flattering the vapid narcissist in the Oval Office.

Can you explain your thoughts on that, instead of some quick one liner? And explain what it has to do with PP.

 

In a chilling column at The Federalist, John Daniel Davidson shows why cultural relativism can be downright evil, citing leftists who oppose laws that would prevent the murder of children by indigenous tribes in Brazil and in the Bay of Bengal.

Seems to be a fine example of the level-headed rationality and objectivity the libs are sorely lacking.
