Trump and the GOPers need those funds currently being used for the subsidies in order to off set the lost revenue that will result from the plan to massively cut taxes for the top 1%...

 

That was the whole point of repeal and replace...to transfer taxpayer dollars from the ACA to the top 1%.

 

Exactly. This whole thing is class warfare.

The cruelty of our fellow Americans continues to amaze.

I feel physically sick! Despicable doesn't even begin to describe how positively revolting this is.

And this from a state where people proclaim loudly that they are Pro-Life. Their actions don't verify this.

 

And this is a blunt statement but, explains the dysfunction of this current administration, in a nutshell.

 

 

Puerto Ricans are dying.
North Korea wants war.
California is burning.
Job growth is low.

Trump is playing golf (again).

WTF is wrong with people? This cannot be allowed.

ICYMI from the NYPost,

 

Shrinks take to streets to demand ‘narcissistic’ Trump’s ouster

Japan and US farmers both feel the frustration of Trump's trade policies...if one can even call them that.

If his grandstanding with NAFTA also causes less to be exported and prices on imports to go up, will "the heartland" finally see through Trump and the GOP?

 

No, of course not - they will just blame Obama, Democrats, Bill Clinton, and whoever their preacher tells them to hate. 

So, no word on the worst terrorist attack in Somalia's history? At least 230 people dead.

 

^^

It really is something to think about! 

 

Frankly, if anything about TKAM were to make them uncomfortable, it would be the suggestion that even an African-American who has been accused of raping a white woman is innocent until proven guilty.

@Cat posted this in the Status Updates but I want to post the link that she provided here as well.

 

Mogadishu truck bomb: 500 casualties in Somalia’s worst terrorist attack

 

Lest, people think that Orange Menace has nothing to do with this, he recently loosened the restrictions on drones (yes, you guessed it, it was an Obama administration-era restriction) which many experts believe was one of the factors for a retaliation by the Shabab (some Shabab have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda, while others have taken an oath of allegiance to ISIS, terrorism doesn't seem particularly choosey).

Thanks @DramatistDreamer. I wasn't sure whether to bring it to this thread because it isn't a domestic-US incident, though it does have huge global repercussions.

 

Shocking that the bomb was so powerful that many victims simply evaporated into thin air when it hit.
