Once it passes the Senate I have no doubt Trump will veto it.

I'm so tired of hearing about extending these emergency Obamacare subsidies. They were passed as emergency help during COVID, and COVID's over. We never pull back any of these supposedly "temporary" handouts. GOP should just let them expire and move on.

Why would Trump care what the Constitution says when he has his own morality to fall back on?

Thats very easy for you or most of us here to say cause we can afford the absurd cost of healthcare.

The concept of a plan.

Hold up there pal, check your compassion at the door.

I've paid some awful high insurance costs over my lifetime, but this year is the worst, so I opted out and will self-pay and pray nothing goes wrong. Most every plan I've looked at is so absurd it's basically you're paying for a catastrophic plan.

Well, they don't really do anything, so I guess they can vote on Speaker 20 times again.

Of course, I don't think Obamacare should exist at all. But the honest answer is either (i) make medical care a universal right with government provided care (which I don't support) or (ii) allow it to be a for profit industry with free market principles where care is rationed by price. It's these Frankenstein half measures where we try and manipulate the market that leads to the worst outcomes (healthcare, college, home ownership, etc.). You can't be a little bit pregnant.

The only reason I didn't start my own company and work for myself is the insane cost of healthcare for a family of four. I was getting enough business that I could easily quit my job and just work for myself full time and make significantly more money. The health care costs would have eaten into my profit margin so greatly, it just didn't make sense.

So, here comes the effort to undermine the election. All of this is insane, like all of his posts, but I particularly like the part where he claims that states must do what the Federal Government/POTUS says on elections, when the Constitution explicitly left elections to the states.

This is all so tiresome. Why do we have an insane, dementia patient in charge of the executive branch?

Hey Vikas, I'm sure you know this already but just to confirm we have mail in voting here in the UK so not sure what he's on about there.

(Am fairly certain plenty of other countries use it too but I can only speak for my own )

The EU’s increasingly unpopular, globalist political class is crashing out after President Donald Trump ordered the US to withdraw from a wide array of international organizations tied to climate policy, gender ideology, and what his administration has labeled "woke global governance.”

The decision has triggered an unusually emotional response from EU leaders who appear to view American disengagement as an existential threat to their failed globalist project.

It never gets old

That would be my hope as unlikely an outcome as it might be.
