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.

Is he mad that she has better memory than him? Like, my man, did you forget?

[-] Mercuri@lemmy.world 40 points 14 hours ago

Fucking hell. Him trying to repeal Obamacare was SUCH a big thing. It was pretty much all my tried to do for a full year. The blatant lying and reality denying...

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

It's all he claimed to be trying to do.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 33 points 18 hours ago

the cheeto jokes are going nowhere. ya'll preaching to the choir. i don't know what is up with the man's face and the bronzer. I don't care.

Donald Trump wants to deploy the military on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens, nevermind that he thinks non-citizens are non human

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

The problem is focusing on danger implies strength. They want the guy that's dangerous to their enemies. Mocking him erodes some of that power.

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 23 points 18 hours ago

I'm all for it. Faux "strong-man" types can't stand ridicule, so consider it a form of protest. You can take his threat to democracy seriously while still acknowledging he's a joke of a person.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 18 hours ago

i hope you're capable at some jokes, because i will die in the living-room theatre

she's a former prosecutor. Of course she's going to bring the receipts.

What a dumb McCheato.

How did sweet potatoes hurt you?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 48 points 23 hours ago

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?

[-] sudo@lemmy.today 29 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

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.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

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.'

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

You expect law enforcement to investigate itself?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

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.

i reserved just for you a seat at this soda fountain, and when you get that seat, you know you are uppity

How is he brighter orange than his reflective safety vest?

Trump Loopa

[-] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 44 points 1 day ago

The last few photos I've seen of him look so ridiculous with that heavy bronze spray tan only on his face. Like they're not even doing the temples and neck. He's nearly doing blackface at this point.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 9 points 19 hours ago

I saw footage of him from his last rally and the contrast of his bright orange face to his tiny bright white hands was alarming.

Nah he's just jealous that she has full permission from the Village People to use the YMCA song.

Every denial is a confession.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago

Imagine a kid on a street corner trying to get your attention to sell a newspaper with this headline.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

It's more than he can remember.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

How dare she say he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act! He only has concepts of a repeal!

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Concepts of a president

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe he’ll have an aneurysm.
