Summary: Donald Trump claims he never wanted to end the Affordable Care Act, but his previous statements and actions suggest otherwise. Despite his promises to replace the law with a better option, Trump’s Republican proposals would have weakened or eliminated its coverage rules and reduced government spending. Republicans may pursue a more piecemeal approach to weakening the law, but it could still alarm a majority of Americans.

    So like, I get all his propaganda steps to attempt to do what Hitler did, by like being late on purpose and shit…

    But can we all take a moment and look beyond the horror of this dude and relish in the moment that Trump is like a cheap Wish or Temu bought Hitler? Like not even Wal-Mart quality? Like a “We have Hitler at home” and Trump is the Hitler? Like there are people who spent their entire lives bullying other people for stupid shit like this, then they get this guy as their leader and don’t tear him apart?

      And yet, he has a cult following and millions more sympathizers. It’s truly disgusting.

        He does, and aren’t those useful idiots going to be surprised and ready for war when Trump has outlived his usefulness (getting elected) and is offed by an American group and blamed on another so new golden days of war spending and political favour can begin.

        It’s too bad they didn’t decide to all get like matching red hats or symbols so that we could identify them.

        Maybe, idk, have the FBI do exactly what the FBI did in response to ‘communist threats.’

            You misunderstand me. The FBl was created for the purpose of organized crime and national security risks. Even with the Magats infiltrating the FBI, in general they have done what is ordered.

            But my point is that extra… Incentive? Is needed to improve it. A carrot and stick if you will.

            It’s still funded by Congress, reports to the Administration, and follows the directions of the Attorney General.

            If the election goes as we hope, which is interesting that the sentiment amongst MAGA leadership appears to be that it won’t go their way, Biden can work quickly to prepare for a peaceful transfer in January. On January 3rd Congress is sworn in. I don’t know if enough seats are up to swing it, but I won’t say anything is impossible.

            Kamala has extensive experience working with politically opposing legal and law enforcement. So long as she safely gets presidency, she can do what the rare good lawyer does best: fix things.
