Unlike previous presidents, though, when he asks for a war no one will believe him.

Yâall are trying to normalize Trump by assuming that he has goals and priorities that involve policy and governing. He has only two goals/priorities 1) make as much money as possible off of this Presidential gig and 2) stay on Putinâs good side to avoid a polonium milkshake. All the rest is just for show.
BTW, staying on Putinâs good side involves destroying our faith in our government as well as government itself.

No. He doesnât remember tweeting that, nor does he remember saying, âHealth care is hard! Who knew?â (Ans: Everyone except the Shitgibbon-in-Chief, apparently.)
Bonus message to SGiC: You thought healthcare is hard? Wait until you take on taxes!

The term âreality distortion fieldâ, typically associated with Apple and early Mac developers, came from Jobâs LSD mentor Robert Friedland, who was screwing his girlfriend at the time he met Jobs and asked Jobs to stay and watch. The idea is that you impose reality, even if there is no evidence to support it, on others. This idea is also at the heart of Gogolâs Inspector General. I think you are on to something here, because there is usually this suspicion that Trump has some deeper agenda than self-benefit. Yet over 7 decades of experience shows Trump is largely focused on himself. Freidland masterfully played the Colorado legislature as he engineered the Summitville Mining disaster, which today is a superfund site costing taxpayers $12-15 million a year, over a quarter century after the accident. Friedland is a mining billionaire living in Singapore. Trump may simply be employing this technique. Notably, Gregory Rasputin used this technique in mythogizing his, ahem, natural endowments. And it worked. Upon his death, (apparently not easy to accomplish), a cult of Rasputinâs famous body part emerged.
Then, after he was poisoned, he was then shot multiple times by Yusupovâs conspirators, clubbed when neither the poison nor the bullet wounds served to dispatch him, and then drownedâor dumpedâinto the River Nevka. At some point that night, the rumor goes, he was mutilated, too.
A maid is said to have found his penis the next day, and squirreled it away for safekeeping. Another version has a former paramour nabbing it after the autopsy. (Why either of them may have wanted to save the body part remains unclear.) By the 1920s, however, a group of Russian Ă©migrĂ© women in Paris were said to have gained possession of an item they believed was Rasputinâs penis, and began venerating it.
I think when Trump goes the fight of his worshipers will be over his hair or hands.

You ever notice how, in a matter of two weeks, any discussion about healthcare and how much it consumes our economy has shifted ever-so-slightly by RepublicansâŠI refer to the fact that our economy as regards to healthcare is being described as 1/6th of our economy now, whereas when this debate began, it was considered 1/5th by almost everyone involved discussing this debate. Its only a small but significant way GOPers try to shift the conversation. Iâve noticed this a lot in the last couple of weeks with this issue. Its just one more way theyâve tried to rebuild the necessity for change while simultaneously downplaying the impact their actions would have on the economy, just in case anyone was the least bit worried. I anticipate in another week theyâll be describing healthcare as 1/8th of our economy if this shift continuesâŠand if the media allows them to get away with framing it that way.

Christ, this guy is hollow. âA dealâ? Wow! I feel so much confidence in our President! And then heâs going to defeat ISIS because he has a secret plan that goes beyond what our Generals know. Hereâs how it works:
The tank and army men go BOOM! BOOM BOOM! Machine gun ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch BOOM! Awwwwwwwww! Ch-ch-ch-ch BOOM! I win! No, I said I win! I win, I win, I win! You died!

Trump: You will get tax cuts only if you vote for TrumpCare. Deal? I thought so. Free money and free health care for every one.
If itâs Medicare for all, and itâs paid for by a tax against unadjusted gross revenues (I havenât run the numbers, but itâs possible that could work) then the free-rider problem is solved, except for the under-the-table economy. Thatâs a minor problem.
The free-rider problem is solved, because you are paying for your basic insurance (Parts A and B of Medicare) whether you use it or not. Itâs a matter of paperwork rather than premium collection, basically. (Yes, there is a small Medicare premium, and you can build a fine for not having handled the paperwork into the system if you want that.)

Iâm sure heâll do his best to keep it at zero - but Iâm ready to go back to my old life.
He is too lazy and incompetent to check itâs actual physical health. And he is too lazy and incompetent to comprehend the pre-existing legislation, the proposed replacements, much less formulate any deal!
So he is trying to roll everyone with Trump University Style B.S.!
