  1. That’s a matter of opinion. When’s the last time you read Article 1, Section 3, Clause 3? That broadens Federal authority considerably, and kind of wrecks your 10th amendment theory.
  2. What is the relevance? When’s the last time you read the Preamble? How does wrecking the CDC, for one, promote the general welfare?
  3. I associate the Weasel with failure. C’mon, what kind of genius bankrupts a casino?
  4. Enough to say what the Weasel did was illegal.
  5. Typical MAGA answer. A 2-1 majority still not enough. Trump is your god.
  6. Ummmmm….how many Republicans on the Supreme Court?
  7. I don’t have a problem cutting wasteful spending. I have a problem with slash and burn. That’s DOGE.
  8. No, it won’t. China doesn’t need us more than we need them. They will form new alliances with the EU. They’ll grow their soybeans on all that land they are buying in Africa. You don’t win a war by beating yourself up.
  9. Multiply that by tens of millions (people). Your numbers represent an increase of around 20%. That’s a 20% inflation rate. All for a plan that will fail.
  10. Healthcare costs have nothing to do with the government. If anything, Medicare helps keep costs down by with their pricing schedules. DOGE can’t help much on this one. What is $84 billion against $3 trillion (total cost, public and private).
  11. Yes, I was somewhat surprised to get a heart from Reagan. We agree on the symptoms, but I’m pretty sure we won’t agree on the cure. Without lobbying reform and campaign finance reform, Big Pharma and the Insurance Industry will continue to pick our pockets. We do pay the most as a percentage of GDP for healthcare with inferior outcomes. I did extensive research on this using the CIA’s World Fact Book a few years back. My career was in insurance. For all you youngsters out there approaching Medicare eligibility DO NOT buy an Advantage plan. Keep your Medicare rights. AARP’s plan with United Healthcare and Mutual of Omaha sell good Supplements. At least, United is good for now (that’s what I have).
  12. You are 100% correct. All you really have to do is consider this: When open enrollment comes around, Advantage plans are advertised at least 10 times as much as Supplement plans. Why you think that is? Companies advertise the most for the plans that make THEM the most money. With advantage plans, you sign your Medicare rights over to the insurance company, your premium withheld from Social Security goes to them, and they get to direct your care.
  13. Accused, not convicted. Source for “scumbags”, please.
  14. Key word is “accused”. For now, the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Trump hates that hockey. Blur the lines, “floods the zone” with crap that keeps folks like you drooling for more.

    Who owns the Post? A notorious purveyor of fake news.
  16. Yes, innocents do make deals. Had Trump any sense he would have made a deal with E. Jean Carrol. You say Trump was innocent of housing discrimination. He made a deal. It’s called settling out of court, and I’ll bet dollars to donuts there was a disclaimer that CBS admits no wrongdoing. If they were guilty, why did Trump offer a settlement? Why didn’t he push for the max? He wanted fast cash.
  17. Are you serious? You consider that proof? FOX edits Trump. Everybody edits. The claim is ludicrous.
  18. What does that even mean? Whose fault is the recession going to be? Who will you blame when the layoffs begin? Who will you blame when manufacturers and retailers cite the tariffs and the uncertainty they bring as the reason for their decisions?
  19. There is no proof that happened.
  20. Ok. You cited three sources that are notorious for lies and sensationalism. Did you actually read the CNN article? If you did, I don’t think you would have included it. There is no proof they edited any differently than is done standard. CBS settled to get the Weasel off their back. A gutless move, but the move they chose.
  21. Yeah, like trash our nation’s capitol. You are such a hypocrite, man.
  22. Source? All interviews are edited. Where’s the proof it was done to hide incompetence? I think you’re just spreading Trump lies. And don’t link me to Breitbart. I want a legit link.
