Ladies and Gentlemen, lets take a look at the front page of The Donald:

1. A random tweet from some Anti-Fa (more than likely fake) that says Crush Capitalism with a link to buy merch.

2. Hey guys, this dog looks like Anthony Weiner.

3. News Report about THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL VOTES by a dude who authored an Anti-Clinton book.

4. A post calling SCaramucci a star that burned too bright

A fun thing I noticed is a link to the national suicide prevention helpline with a picture of a crying rage face for Liberals.

Really cool guys there.

Oh and to artificially inflate usercount, the subreddit has a loving gigantic obnoxious Pepe The Frog block half your screen so you can accidentally click it and subscribe.

assuming that we get to 2018 with no repeal and the dems retake the house, red states are going to start contemplating it - and if they don't, it's a powerful tool for dems in local races. the obamacare wars will be done and the republicans will have lost. after that point, I think that states start to fall in line, and once the expansion takes hold it's virtually impossible to reverse.

Medicaid expansion will look even better after the last vestiges of the individual market go extinct. Then we can talk about individual medicaid buy-in for those last super-regressive holdout states. Eventually repeal tax preference for employer-based health insurance, bob's your uncle, single payer. If Trump has his way, by 2020.

People overwhelmingly, when polled, follow the pottery barn rule on health care. It's hard for the party dominating all branches of government to say they were helpless to fix something, especially when people are naturally change-averse and the change is happening on Republican watch.


I need the security mindset in my work so it's fascinating how much of the US system is built on the assumption that the President isn't an actively hostile actor. No one in their right mind stopped to consider a scenario where the President stops CSRs out of partisan pettiness.

Why is this called the pottery barn rule?

Be proud Trump. You finally drained the swamp.

If I wouldn't know better, I'd think that Trump specifically manipulated Mooch to ruin his own life as fast as possible.
"Hey. We really need you here. Why? Uhh... I saw you on TV you were great." "Would you mind selling your company first? You know the optics..." "Sorry you can't go to your wife's hospital stuff, since you're way to important here." "She divorced you? Well just focus on your work. It's all you have now."
Some intern who worked there for more than 10 days: "I'm sorry to say, but Mr. Trump ordered me to fire you. These nice men will help you find out. Apparently you didn't know the way yet."

Yep. this falls under both the law of trumpian projection and the law of trump lying: if he accuses someone of something, it's something he's done or is doing right at that moment; and the polar opposite of everything he says is true, even trivial or meaningless things. He lies about literally everything it is possible to lie about, all the time.

It's going to be really hard for Trump to keep talking about Obamacare "imploding" when it's going to be all over the headlines that Trump himself is causing it to implode with his executive action.

It won't be on any headline from a media outlet owned by right wing ideologues(including all the local affiliates owned by Sinclair), which are the only sources Trumpists pay attention to. And those sources will also be trying to blame Democrats for it because they passed the ACA in the first place.

So the President can just issue any kind of executive order and then it has to be up to the courts to deem whether it is valid , right? So even if Trump was like "Yeah, we're not paying that" then it'd get taken to court.

Yeah, powerful daddy trump plays the media like a violin, his perfectly chosen words and actions are designed by a genius to perfectly resonate with his base. He's maybe the best president the world has ever seen you know!
