tl;dr: gop source admits there was never the slightest chance obamacare would be repealed, and they simply weaponized it politically as votebait
They're doing the same thing with Trump's tax reform proposal. Because unless a filibuster by the Dems isn't broken, the 10-year restriction on changes to the tax code that increases the deficit would actually restrict how long the corporate tax rate reduction could last before having to revert to the current rate. And because of the carry-forward provision for business income, that time limit would be 3 years.Quote:

Trump doesn't have a tax reform proposal. He has a proposal to enrich himself and a few cronies at the expense of every other american and the federal treasury. What a surprise. Thanks idiots!Quote:

My advice is to free Otto and cut a deal w NK to stop making nukes. I think NK w a H bomb is unacceptable but NK is such a cash cow for the MIC and our elected officials are so owned by lobbyists that they will probably avoid a peaceful resolution w NK at all costs. Send in Rodman?
On Laura's reaction when she was sentenced to 12 years of hard labor
Laura Ling: "I had tried to prepare myself for a lengthy sentence but nothing could prepare me for the verdict, when I heard the words '12 years.' And it was after the judge said '12 years,' he said, 'No forgiveness, no appeal.' And that really cut into me, because all along I had been hoping that there might be the opportunity for an appeal despite the long sentence. And I was wondering if those words meant that the window of opportunity had closed and my fate was sealed."
Lisa and Laura Ling grew up in Sacramento, Calif. The two sisters say the North Korean incident brought them closer together.
Courtesy of Laura and Lisa Ling
On former President Clinton's arrival in North Korea
Lisa Ling: "We're so used to seeing a jovial character, and when he descended off that plane, just to see that completely deadpan expression on his face was so out of the ordinary."
Laura Ling: "And he later said that he, in fact, had to practice [his stoicism]. That Hillary and Chelsea had to coach him so that he could maintain that look of total stoicism. We also learned that there was a whole itinerary that the North Koreans wanted [President] Clinton and his team to attend, visits to various monuments — a whole stadium filled with child acrobatic performers. And they had to be careful to walk that line and not attend any of those events so as not to seem like they were being chummy with the North Koreans or the North Korean leader. ... And I think they walked that line very well. They stuck to the mission at hand, which was to bring us home."
LOL, THAT'S IT? The US has been trying to get NK to stop its nuke program since the 1990s, and you just fucking realized this? Yeah, why don't we just give them a buzz on the phone and ask them to stop.Quote:

I believe Kim is just bluffing with all of this. It's all they got. His little chubby ass enjoys all the shit he has way too much to lose it over an ego-trip. I'd ignore him like a petulant child. See, e.g.,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzOCxnszcvA
I really don't feel like pwning you, maybe later. Ok I'll throw you a nugget, dude North Korea will totally drop it's nuke program if we were willing to make some small concessions and stick to our half of the agreement.Quote:

Homework: Write this a hundred times. Unfortunately our real goal isn't a nuke free NK it's to sell as much military equipment as we can to SK and japan.
Unrelated sort of
Anyhow this is a really good documentary called Inside the Kimdom. It's about the contents of 12 or 14k pages of secret North Korean documents.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkfjJfNjvTQ&t
Cliffs: Kim Un may be more delusional, more full of shit and more incompetent than our dear leader, it's pretty close.
If NK didn't have nukes Kim would already be dead and a puppet put into his place. No way he ever gives them up. China completely controls their weapons anyhow, if they don't authorize the launch sequence the missile self destructs. Trump is being played again.
He's going to get a nice blue spruce shoved up his ass by Canada next.
So much winning.

Agree with the spruce sentiment however
Ok Trump has just invited Rodrigo Duerte to The White House. Republican forum members get in here and announce your resignation from the Republican party, quickly gentlemen!
URGENT! If you're still a Republican please enlist the help of your nearest mental health professional.
I am not/ never was a Republican, but i do admire Rodrigos style, i think trump can learn alot from him and vice versa.
Learn a lot about trampling on people's rights, vigilante justice and generally being a prick?Quote:

P.S. For some reason, the orig video is visible to me in the reply post, but not the original!
Druff: Could this be due to the orig vid link used "http" versus "https" given your recent upgrading the forum to use "https"?
Hate to break it to you left wing climate scientists, but if the economy is good in 2020, Trump will walk easily to victory, that is the way it goes. With tax cuts coming, that is going to give a lift in GDP through 2020, what happens in 2021 is almost meaningless since Trump will have another 4 years. Remember, even as bad as Irag was going in 2004, Bush face palmed Kerry because the economy was good and he was re-elected. Now the ecomomy blew up in 2008 and that paved the way for Obama.
One legacy that Trump will assume is the Supreme Court. It will become the Trump Court as he will likely post 4 more justices. Looking like 30-40 years of Trump legacy on the Court.
The Dems really need to start planning for 2024, its only 7 1/2 years away, not that long. A few in this thread will be dead, but quite a few alive, so start planning early.
Tax cuts don't increase GDP dumbass. This has been proven.Quote:

Also he is not nominating 4 more justices. He will be lucky to have the chance to nominate one more.Quote:

I can't believe we accepted it for this long..
Regardless of the degree of his success. He has changed the mentality and vibe of this country for a very long time..
The affects will haunt progressives for a very long time.
And they know ito
how long will you retarded morons continue to deny the obvious. you've been bluffed. I get that golfer in chief talked a good line and gave ya hope for future jobs and security. but a self-aggrandizing billionaire that has shown nothing but scorn and has done nothing but belittle the working people slaving for him or suing contractors on bullshit to shaft them as a moral code will not deliver on promises. no matter how much ya want it to be true.
This is going to end up the first million-views thread in NWP/DD/Boris/Tyde/Venom/VPR/Skatz/PFA history. It'll take awhile, but it will happen.
This is also only the second thread to break 10,000 posts -- the other being one where MRobot posted about 9900 of them.
Trump to Congress: pay for shit I want because America.
Congress to Trump: https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...-spending-bill How about no right in your gook face.
President Ryan did a good job of keeping our government on the rails, I gotta say.
Lol at you didn't do everything you promised in 100 days, even though a presidential term is 4 years...jfc you mentally ill fucks.
He promised it in 100 days, faggot.Quote:

curiously ISIS is living large and Trump has spent almost 30 days playing golf.
all campaign promises are idiotic and should be abolished. just tell us what you plan on fighting for, don't guarantee it. the more specific the promise, the worse it will make the candidate look in the end
e.g., read my lips... closing Guantanamo... if you want to keep your doctor... building the wall... abolishing Obamacare on day one, etc.
sidenote, trump says our system of constitutional checks and balances is "a very rough system. It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country."
this is not an article from the onion or an snl skit.

Look i get it, you're a closed minded regressive libtard, but the guy is swimming against the current. You have to admit that no other president in modern history has been this roadblocked or lambasted by even his own inner circle and party, let alone the media and lemmings like you with an opinion.
I can't recall any president achieving every thing they set out to do in their first 100 days. I really like a leader that believes in himself, no matter how steep the odds, call it narcissistic or cocky, but you want confident leaders nonetheless.
I want jordan to know he can make the buzzer beater, not hope he can.
