Trump says vote on healthcare can wait until after 2020 election


Typical baloney from the nutjob in chief.

Of course the republicans don't have jack squat, just anger and fear.
 

The ACA was doomed from the start. McConnell and the neo-cons made sure of that. Had Obama had any balls at all, he'd have stood up to the Republicans and forced a single payer system on the USA. As for the crap that went on during the Republican majority in the House...Ryan needs a spanking for that.
 
Not a cheap shot at all it’s called the truth. Something that obviously eludes you.



What’s BS? Are you saying republicans have NOT had 8 years to come up with a better plan?

A. Please learn how to use both the quote function, and the edit button.
B. Just as Obama could not get the ACA through without some fancy dancing...re-doing the ACA is difficult for a whole whack of procedural and political factors that you don't seen to be aware of at all. But I am a bit envious of you as...ignorance is bliss.
 
Because the mother****er has been yacking about how terrible Obamacare is and how great the whatever will replace it will be. If it is so great why not give it to the people now?
And he's correct. The ACA is a rag. Its a playschool version of proper healthcare. Not this...but neither that. And THAT is Obama's fault. National healthcare is not something one does quickly. I'd venture to say its even more involved that something like...ohhh...executing a witch hunt?

Yea that he is a dishonest incompetent asshole.
Asshole I can buy. They rest...man ya gotta get over your feelings.
 
Trump backed down.

Again.
 
A. Please learn how to use both the quote function, and the edit button.

Considering that out of the roughly 13,166 posts I've made, and making an extreme assumption that I've screwed up 20 posts where I "might" have made a mistake on the quote function, 99.8% success rate is good enough. So your idiotic comment on that is both petty and shallow, so you might re-evaluate making stupid comments like you just did.


I said nothing about getting things PASSED, I said coming up with a BETTER plan than the ACA which the Republicans have had over 8 YEARS to do so. IF they had, they could have passed it during the 2 YEARS they controlled congress. They could have ALSO used the NUCLEAR option, so saying that the Dems obstructed is both lying and idiotic should you choose to say so.

In other words, try again, you've failed. Everything I've said is FACT.
 

Republicans aren't doing it at all. They have not come up with ANY plan that is BETTER than the ACA and they have had over 8 years time to do so and have FAILED. Republicans have proven they can whine, but they can't govern.
 

Everything I've said is FACT
"So there!"

Everything you've said, exhibits a very basic understanding of reality in American politics. Hell in any politics.

I believe last year the Republicans did away with that silly mandate?
Bet you forgot that one...din't ya.

Everything I've said is FACT. Either refute it or I accept your concession that you cannot. The Republican had 8 YEARS to come up with a better plan and 2 years to get it to pass. They did neither and that is on them. They don't have a better plan to replace the ACA. Now run along since you cannot refute anything I've said.

Yes, REPEAL is all the Republicans have. They don't have a replacement. Again, everything I've said is factual while what you have just spouted is just partisan bull**** and petty comments.
 

No its not.
You have no consideration for what's been done already.
On top of that, you completely ignore who was setting the agenda in congress, who was president for 6 of those years, and that healthcare is rather complicated.
 
And he's correct. The ACA is a rag. Its a playschool version of proper healthcare. Not this...but neither that. And THAT is Obama's fault. National healthcare is not something one does quickly.
So 10 years is not enough to even come up with a draft?

Asshole I can buy.
And who would want to see an asshole leading their nation?

They rest...man ya gotta get over your feelings.
I do not need to as they are based on reality.

The repeal happens to have helped allot of people.
They may never have a complete replacement.
If trying to educate you is being petty...then I'm guilty.
 
So 10 years is not enough to even come up with a draft?
I suspect what many of the Republicans want is everything put back the way it was. That would be simple but...stupid IMO.
And who would want to see an asshole leading their nation?
YOU!
And do you know why you should want that?
Because your nation was being taken advantage of all over the place.
America needed a leader who had the balls to stand up and tell NATO and Europe to pull their own weight. Someone who could see Free Trade for what it is...an economic leach. Someone who would put America First.
I do not need to as they are based on reality.
What reality? The one where everyone salivates over an investigation that eventually comes up with bubkus?
Is THAT the reality you're speaking of?

Thanks but no thanks.
 
I suspect what many of the Republicans want is everything put back the way it was. That would be simple but...stupid IMO.
Political suicide and they know it.

Now you are projecting.

And do you know why you should want that?
There is no possible reason.

And what principle says that only an asshole can achieve that?

What reality?
The one that clearly shows who and what Trump is.
 
Political suicide and they know it.
I hope so.
Now you are projecting.
Just a little.
And what principle says that only an asshole can achieve that?
The 'Learning from History' principal.
The one that clearly shows who and what Trump is.
And that's your problem. You refuse to see reality for what it is, because you see with blinders on.
Hatred...makes for nasty ex-wives and bad politics.
 
The 'Learning from History' principal.
No principle states that achievement is any area of endeavor and decency and integrity are mutually exclusive.

And that's your problem.
I really do not have a problem.

You refuse to see reality for what it is
I see reality exactly as it is and the fact that Trump is a dishonest incompetent moron.

because you see with blinders on.
If blinders are used they are entirely on the eyes of the Trump supporters. That there is no single fault for which he has not been held accountable is proof of that.

Hatred...makes for nasty ex-wives and bad politics.
True, not to mention a total waste.
 

Accountable...for what exactly?
 
The framework for the ACA was a republican plan that was actually implemented in Massachusetts. The only reason it was rejected by the Republicans is because they had earlier decided that they would reject everything, non matter what, that Obama endorsed. He could have endorsed a bill in favor of the sun rising in the east and they would oppose it. They had to reverse themselves repeatedly in order to live up to that commitment.
 
For his lies, abuses, boorishness, for the shut down, it is a long list...

So...
Every politician lies.
What abuses?
Boorishness??? :roll:
I think they're all responsible for the shut down.
 
This may come as a surprise to you, but people with a modicum of decency and integrity still exist and to them someone like Trump is not acceptable even for dog catcher.

Every politician lies.
Nobody ever has lied so much and so consistently about everything as Trump.

What abuses?
Seriously?

Boorishness??? :roll:
As I said at the beginning.

I think they're all responsible for the shut down.
No, he did it, he said so and then like the lying asshole he is tried to blame others and you fell for it.
 
This may come as a surprise to you, but people with a modicum of decency and integrity still exist and to them someone like Trump is not acceptable even for dog catcher.
Wow. You're TDS is certainly in full bloom eh?
If you actually had any integrity or decency, you wouldn't be slagging your president constantly on public message boards. You'd also be able to back up your accusations with something more that the foolish crap below.

Nobody ever has lied so much and so consistently about everything as Trump.
Like this bit of foolishness. Nobody eh?

Seriously?
Yes seriously. What abuses do you think you see?

No, he did it, he said so and then like the lying asshole he is tried to blame others and you fell for it.
Yes Trump shut down the government. he did so because those 2 lyin' pieces of ****, Pelosi and Schumer, decided to pretend that they'd never ever called for a border wall themselves. Understand this. You TDS types are irrational and will do and say anything to depose your own president. That is neither decent nor does it exhibit any integrity what so ever. What it does display is hatred.
I have no doubt that the Republicans will try to do something about the Obamacare abortion. Just as I have no doubt that, even were the Republicans to propose full single-payer healthcare...all the hate-filled, virtue-signalling idiots would oppose it.

Now please try to get that TDS of yours treated as its making you look stupid.
 
If you actually had any integrity or decency, you wouldn't be slagging your president constantly on public message boards.
Why, is that position somehow exempt from basic decency honesty and competence requirements or only so for people like you who lack all of that?

Yes Trump shut down the government.
So it was his fault and then tried to blame others.

he did so because those 2 lyin' pieces of ****, Pelosi and Schumer, decided to pretend that they'd never ever called for a border wall themselves.
And how is that relevant? He was offered more money and refused.

Understand this. You TDS types are irrational and will do and say anything to depose your own president.
Understand this. You Trump ass kisser types are irrational but will never change reality. Facts have a nasty way of seeking the light.

Now please try to get that TDS of yours treated as its making you look stupid.
Now please try to stop your Trump ass kissing, it is making you look stupid and it gives you bad breath.
