Humor is an important coping mechanism. You're welcome to start the "no fun trump thread", but a large part of this thread is laughing at Trump because it helps fight back despair.

In which supergenius Elon Musk realizes that, hey, maybe Trump isn't really listening to him:

We now know that trying to influence Trump is just like trying to influence a slime mold. Sometimes it might look like it's moving in the way you're arguing for, but really it's just heading where it's going to go.

The only ones actually getting it to go anywhere are paving the way with sugar water bribes.

Yeah, at least with Elon I actually believe that he's genuinely got good interests at heart. He's just misguided.

Setting up the political apparatus for minority rule is very much the Republican strategy right now. Trump's idiocy, intentionally or not, is becoming part of that process.

"I know that, I, the respected genius, can influence the Panther Who Eats Faces, working from within the system to selflessly reduce the number of eaten faces (and maybe get some delicious power for myself)" - every powerful American idiot, evidently, right before they're thrown under the bus

Which makes this legislation even more nonsensical. The people in states that didn't take the Medicaid expansion are already hosed. You can't make healthcare more miserable for them. In fact, you might make healthcare more affordable for the young people who vote less. Then the people this will impact the most are 50-64 year olds who are going to have huge premium increases. Then you have the +20% additional premiums for 2018 which is looking to be around +40% for 2018. And the people that can't react to huge economic upheavals are those without college / advanced degrees.

Helluva time to be pushing increases in drivers license fees and voter ID.
