Reminds me of a kid I used to know. He loved to torture animals. Republicans love to torture the poor and racial minorities, people they view as animals in need of being tortured.

Good timing for the mid-terms, I guess ?

Anyone with a whisper of intelligence knows that this administration is maliciously insane. Exhibit #194 is the timing of advertised sabotage of the healthcare markets.

Open enrollment begins on November 1. That is one week ahead of midterms. Double-digit increases in premiums due to Republican sabotage will weigh heavily on the people voting either to prolong healthcare and financial uncertainty. Or not.

“Trump Admin Deals New Blow to Middle Class.” -fixed it for you.

I think they have expanded on that a bit. Who they consider people is narrowing daily. It is becoming a survival of the fittest, with that defined as who has enough money to not worry about such things. Regardless of how that money is made.

It’d be a shame if those insurance groups ‘opposed’ sent info to their customers explaining what happened and who’s to blame. A darn shame.

It may not affect people with employer care–yet. Just wait; the Rump will remedy that glitch soon enough. The only way that might change is if he or some of his spawn are affected and they can pay out of pocket. Remember that the Filth in Chief tried to cheat his own brother’s family out of their inheritance when they had a desperately sick child. That’s the kind of human garbage that we are dealing with.

We are living during the worst presidency in the history of our country. This is just the latest blunder in a long list of blunders. As Isaac Newton pointed out “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” Trump is going to take away people’s healthcare. Health is completely nonpartisan, for every Democrat adversely affected, a Republican is likewise affected also.

This is sure to rile up one group and sorely depress the other. Trump is already underwater in approval/disapproval he can’t afford to lose any support or increase his opponents support. And yet he does one bone headed blunder after another.

Or is it a blunder?

It won’t matter to the Trump voters, they’ll blame The Democrats and Obama for a shitty health care act.
If the nail factory closes in Popular Bluff, Missouri, only one person the paper talked to in that town will blame Trump.

If Mid Continent Nail Corporation, which according to a spokesman is “on the brink of extinction” because of President Donald Trump’s tariff on steel, does have to close, it will hit this whole town hard, according to every one of the dozens of people I talked to as they waited for the Fourth of July fireworks to start.

One of the two Democrats I ran across, an African-American man who sees the president as a proven racist, said, “I do like that he’s playing the boss game” and never backs down. And no, he won’t blame Trump.

The only one who said she would was the other Democrat, Crystal Jones, who quit Mid Continent for another job.

infliction of pain and suffering on lower and middle class? Ain’t no blunder. Just another day in the world of a malignant narcissist supported by authoritarian enablers.

Yep. I thought it would be a shame if they formed a super PAC and started putting up advertising explaining to everyone in deep red Dumbfuckistan.

Doesn’t seem like the insurance companies will be too pleased about this. Probably not the companies one would want to piss off.

He has his short-fingered hand extended, palm up, and he’s winking at the insurance companies. Ka-Ching!

Fits perfectly. The last thing in the world they are interested in is health Americans.

But…but…don’t you see? This is a GOOD thing.

After all, anything the evil, foreign BLACK president did was BAD. Ergo, this program has to be bad and has to be eliminated.

That’s their thinking, at any rate.

Just another way to MAGA (Make America Gag Again).

He, his spawn, and the entire GOP machine should be mandated to use whatever ‘plan’ Drumpf imposes, and nothing else.
