    He was right for a few days anyhow. Then, the party comes to an end.

    You are describing the Prayer Boys. They are wingnuts with guns and survival gear.

    The Prayer Boys are Deep State pretending to be Deep Bunker.

    You used "stupid", I won't (to keep this away from the poster and onto the post), but if one supported every single thing any President did, one isn't smart, one is a sycophant. I mean, just the issues of keeping GTMO open and keeping troops in Afghanistan are anathema to what got you to vote for him. Going after state-legal marijuana growers? Executive orders to force immigration policy? You support all of these? When he opened up the Arctic for drilling in 2015? Or when he closed it again in 2016? Selling Iran nuclear manufacturing technology, but revoking their purchase of air-defense technology? How can you do both?

    If this was hyperbole for comic effect, I obviously missed it.

    I ridicule ObamaCare because it literally does nothing for "care", and only makes it a) that the government is imposing a false prop for prices to go up without accountability, b) that it places every dollar of healthcare through a filter of "insurance", and c) taxes those who don't want to participate in a broken and corrupt scheme.

    If Obama has imposed a tax in order to fund 1 million new doctors, 10 million new nurses, $1B in medical research grants to universities and opening up 500 new hospitals, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Generally, only those who have "pre-existing" (expensive) conditions and therefore don't care who or how it gets paid, as long as it isn't on them; and those who want more government control over their lives like the concept of taxing us to get profit to insurance companies. Hell, even insurance company shareholders don't like the idea. But go ahead and generalize pejoratively...that's working well to get a better solution.

    and the ridiculous bill the republicans tried to shove through a year ago to replace it was great? lmao! The Affordable Care Act has been successful whether you like it or not and even Obama said there will be some tweaks likely needed. Trump is so obsessed with removing Obama from history where it will likely be him that makes even more history, but in a bad way.

    WtAF?
    You can't possibly claim that with the original metrics and key performance parameters, so I won't make you try.
    Again, WtAF?

    I mean, when you can't talk objectively about the failings of a bill without #orangemanbad happening...

    Along with that wall, why don't adopt some more 16th century defense solutions like muskets, castles, bows and arrows, slingshots?

    Still not cool.

    Meme done by someone who is likely against every kind of body shaming there is when they need to virtue signal.

    Right? I don't like her one bit, but come on... it's low brow to do that. I find humor in creativity, not in tearing down someone based on their appearance.

    If it had just been a picture of her with the words... It'd of been funny.

    I've watched this 4 times. The end of this is how I feel so deeply. It was beautiful.

    Is that your way of not having an educated response and instead I get the double WtAF, lOL? Good luck on your path.

    They hate women.

    That's the reality of their actions.

    One thing Obamacare has done that people tend to forget, is it eliminated lifetime limits on benefits from health insurance companies. Thank God it did.

    Let me ask you, what would you do for children born with permanent disabilities that will require more than $1 million in hospital bills.

    Should they have their care denied? Should their parents have to go bankrupt at no fault of their own (other than having a child)?

    Hate to break it to some of you, but $1 million in health care ain't what it used to be.
