Especially seeing how more government always means less freedom, more taxes, diminished quality of life, Gov't ruins everything it touches but hey bring on more

But more govt means more protection via the police, firefighters, and the military.
 
It's also unconstitutional, government forcing its citizens to buy it.... can't figure out how it lasted so long. Oh yeah that's right Roberts dropped the ball on that one

Ironically, the mandate was actually a GOP based idea from way back (1990s?) with a goal of making the pool of insureds healthier on average (actuarially sound) by reducing adverse selection. This then keeps average claims down and thus average premiums down.
 
He flat out said he will and always has stood by defending pre existing conditions. Said on the town hall you where posting clips from tonight.

then he should work with congress to get a plan in place before dismantling the ACA. If the ACA goes then so do the protections for pre existing.

Also, do folks want more or less of a budget for things like the NWS and roads? The point of these posts is that most everyone who wants less govt still wants as much or more of it for certain things. It isn’t black and white. I’d be willing to bet heavily that most here want more spent on the NWS.

Can't make this stuff up, it's like a horror movie and what used to be wrong is now right and what used to be right is now wrong.

Lord help us if those kinds of people get total control, they'll make Obamacare look like childs play.
 
meh, it’s a done deal. It was ruled unconstitutional. What more is there to discuss?

The party who instilled this unconstitutional mandate by ramming it through when they had a majority are the very same ones wanting to run the entire country; absolute power corrupts absolutely; especially when in the hands of liberals/progressives/socialists/communists/whatever you want to call what the D's represent today.

People need to vote, if they choose to have their life run by somebody else then by all means vote for whoever the D's put up; if you prefer life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness then vote for Trump.

It's not accurate to say "everyone", so many make these kind of broad brush statements and I never said no Gov't, I said less of it. Gov't should protect it's citizens (military, first responders) not run their lives.
 
As guaranteed by the constitution. Your protection......

Except some want to disarm us... I’m looking at you Dems. Too bad Jim Webb wasn’t a candidate for the Dems. Problem was that back in 2015 when he was a candidate he came out as a centrist Democrat and the party basically ran him off and told him to GTFOH. He would have been a great democratic candidate.
 
Judge puts Barr on blast for turning the AG office into Trump's personal defense team.....that last part is stating the obvious but still to have a federal judge say it is pretty significant.


WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday sharply rebuked Attorney General William Barr’s handling of the special counsel’s Russia report, saying Barr had made “misleading public statements” to spin the investigation’s findings in favor of President Donald Trump and had shown a “lack of candor.”

Those inconsistencies, Walton wrote, “cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary.”
 
Some good news on the economic front. These numbers are for February, any potential impacts of Coronavirus may not be seen for another month or two but still great numbers.

“Nonfarm payrolls grew far more than expected in February as companies continued to hire amid a growing coronavirus scare.

The Labor Department reported Friday that the U.S. economy added 273,000 new jobs during the month, while the unemployment rate was 3.5%, matching its lowest level in more than 50 years.”

Yep...If you just leave them alone, they pretty much self-destruct...They're already starting to eat their own....Just pop some more corn!! ?
 
I feel that Tulsi Gabbard is like the FV3 showing snow in the short-range when all the other models are in disagreement. Like Tulsi, it's stubborn and probably won't verify.
 
Oh my god. This is real life



He talks about the tremendous job we have done keeping the virus down and they have literally done nothing really and by most estimates the virus is probably all over the country by now but we cant be sure cause we don't have adequate testing kits....if this ends up not being a big deal its not because of the reaction of the US government....then he mentions the Dow he has to keep the market and economy looking good its the only thing he can hang a hat on and he knows this might burst that bubble.......

People bash Biden about saying dumb stuff but he isnt even the same league as Trump....

To bad he didnt do the bolded.....

President Trump praises his own scientific skills: "All these doctors say, 'how do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability, maybe I should have done this instead of running for president."
 
Well I remember Obama referencing himself 100s of times how good he was. When he did nothing. Bottom line is results speak. Economy is booming. Unemployment is low. Countries don’t bully us anymore. So bash him all you want and call us Trumpers. He’s the president at this time. You have to put up with him like some of us had to put up with Obama for his miserable 8 years.

I did not vote for or support Obama at all, he was egotistical though he isn't even in the same universe as Trump in that regard. Obama did a lot as president most of it I didn't support especially ACA.....the only thing other countries don't do anymore is respect us or our leader they literally laugh about him behind his back. When the GOP didn't have the spine to replace Trump when they had the chance I knew I was going to have another election where I would be unable to vote for a main party candidate because for some reason American's cant seem to nominate smart capable people to be president.

If only everybody else was as smart as you right?
 
Trump must have fired Mulvaney as he announces Mark Meadows as his new chief of staff.....oh and Meadows is Trumps 4th Chief of staff ironic huh....

3 Chief of Staffs in less than 3 years of being President: Part of the reason why @BarackObama can't manage to pass his agenda.

there is a tweet for everything
 
What would be really interesting is for all those who don't like Trump the man or Trump the President to outline what policy or policies of his you disagree with; take away the man, his mouth, his demeanor. What policy has he implemented you disagree with?

Don't like life; then he's not your man.

Don't like a strong military, then he's not your man.

Don't like a safe and secure border, then he's not your man.

Don't like religious freedom, then he's not your man.

Don't like American first, then he's not your man.

Men and women are vessels; imperfect for sure however I believe there's a purpose.
 
Or maybe he just plays one on TV... I wonder sometimes if this is just hist shtick to stir things up. I mean like him or not, if he truly was an inept buffoon, after 3 years in office don't you think we'd be in endless unnecessary wars, economy tanking, most of us out of work, mass chaos in the streets, etc. Last time I checked people from all over the world still dying to come here, still the greatest nation in the world and some reason I just don't think we would be if the POTUS was an actual buffoon.

The unfolding coronavirus outbreak and its poor handling suggest he is a buffoon. The things he has said is ridiculous

He is setting dangerous precedence that will bite us in the arse. Just like I'm sure many Democrats feel about Reids nuclear option.

It's not just about policy.

Dangerous precedents is an awesome and generic statement without specifics..
