President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A health care policy wasn't going to resolve what's happened there. What's more, I'm not sure he could have solved that issue alone. America's problems are bigger than what a president can solve; indeed, there's some evidence a president can't do as much as we think.

 

I never said Trump was murderer, so can't account for those who do.

As to Chris Hayes's Twitter feed, he has a right to his personal opinion.

Is there a certain amount of cruelty built into our immigration detention system?

According to President Trump there is, and it's there by design. As a deterrent.

 

Sure it’s news.

And, so, how did the media do covering the story?

Did they gather all the facts and fairly and accurately report what happened?

 

1. Someone else did. Just like someone else suggested we should deport American-born rural types and replace them with refugees.

2. Yes, well, based on the words in the statement, he's wrong. He either doesn't know what cruelty is or he's being dramatic to get ass kisses on Twitter. Probably the latter.

 

Or he would say it's not fair to criticize because some Democrat once did it. Y'all are engaging his whataboutism way too much.

 

You're talking about the same people who said they loved the ACA and hated Obamacare. These are the same people that gripe about government assistance, then vote for the same party that wants to take it away. The same people who demanded the dark-skinned people get locked up for years for possessing a pot cigarette, but now want compassion because addiction has come to their back yard.

At some point, it's not about coolness. It's about their perpetuation of their stereotype.

 

Every attempt that goes awry will always be judged by its supporters as "Trying to do the right thing."

Whether it's a health plan, Vietnam, Iraq or Ukraine.

Insurance became more expensive with higher deductibles. "More" people were insured because they were mandated to be so . . . or else.

Maybe we should "mandate" employment like that to get the unemployment rate down to 0.0 percent. Find a job . . . or pay a $5,000 fine.

 

President Trump has made 6,420 false or misleading claims over 649 days

what accuracy and gathering facts might look like

 

Lol. But to YF it’s different when Trump does it.

 

What was happening to insurance costs before Obamacare was enacted?

 

Beat me to it. I can't remember a year since 1987 (the first year I had my own health insurance) where deductibles or rates actually went down. They're going up with or without the ACA, because profit.

(Edit: Before you start, PROFIT IS NOT A BAD THING. In business. But I believe there are three things that should not be "run like a business": The government, education, and health care.

 

The Dow fluctuated between 24,242 and 24,951 on December 6. You instructed to buy.

It is almost like you have zero fucking clue of what you are talking about.
