President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

At this point, Alabama just needs to get it over with and secede. Again.
And Rep. Brooks needs to be fitted with a white robe if he doesn't already have one.

 

Only 16:1 odds that he's not inaugurated on Jan. 20? That's the big stunner there.

 

These odds don't really mean much unless they let you bet the reverse. Otherwise it's just for show and taking easy money.

 

The leader of the One and Only True Party of Real American Christian Values is tanking already. A minus-14 net favorability rating. But just wait till he makes America great again by taking health insurance away from a decent chunk of the people who voted for him.

 

The idea that folks who have an exchange based plan are too stupid to realize this is really dumb.

That some can't understand the idea that folks with an exchange based plan would support the ACA being repealed and replaced is even dumber.

 

News flash: it's not going to be replaced.

Because "replacing" it is pretty close to "repairing" it, which is pretty close to "improving" it, all of which implies there was something in it worth repairing/improving/salvaging in the first place, and Teabag America has been telling us for seven years it's the most dastardly disgusting piece of mooslim neegro filth ever, worse than communism and everything, and Baby Jeezus will never be happy until we scrub it's dirty disgusting mooslim neegro stink off the face of Amurrica forever.

So it's not going to be replaced, it's going to be repealed, and tough shit for anybody who gets screwed in the process. They're probably mostly mooslims anyway.

 

If they can repeal health care with no replacement, they'll do it. This is democracy in action. Those who oppose this reprehensible plan need to make their voices heard from the hills of Kentucky and everywhere else. Because the GOP, which has no problem killing public education and reviving 1950s and 1960s Wallace-Faubus-Mattox Three Musketeers racism, clearly has no trouble with the idea of imperiling the lives of millions of citizens.

 

Is it? In 2013, a poll said 46 percent of respondents oppose Obamacare but 37 percent oppose the Affordable Care Act. I'm going to guess "some" -- a delightfully useful word in this context, because by YankeeFan rules I win if there are three people in the whole country who fit -- think they have one but not the other.

The Difference Between Obamacare and ACA Is Public Opinion

 

As long as they can take the vote away from people who would oppose them, an effort that has been wildly successful so far, they'll continue to get their way.

 

Do you have "mooslim neegro" set as a Macros key, or do you have to type it out every time?

 

I put my faith in Baby Jeezus and he guides my typing.
