Trump is going to see the US district court in the supreme court after his words come back to bite his arse in sanctuary city injunction.

Is Mexico going to pay for the deficit too?


Yeah well, I wasn't really expecting a Tax Reform plan from Trump.

Healthcare is more complicated than he thought it would be. Deporting illegal immigrants is more complicated than he thought it would be. Even providing healthcare to veterans, is more complicated than he thought it would be.

Tax Reform is incredibly technical. The existing tax code is (arguably) more complicated than the existing healthcare code and (indisputably) on a larger scale of money.

It's all too complicated! Tax cuts it is then. :(

No. It's because the DNC, even after they lost, is utterly clueless in what the American People want. The Democratic Party is less popular than fucking Trump while Bernie Sanders remains the most popular politician in America.


Suddenly I understand why you keep posting in this thread.

I liked Bernie too, but let's look at the numbers. Trump won (or Clinton won, depends how you count it). Sanders came third, and Cruz came fourth. Yes, Cruz beat Johnson because Cruz got more primary votes than Johnson got election votes. But Johnson came fifth.

The problem with that statement is that many of the state primaries were essentially rigged against Bernie, with New York being the go-to example. People were kept from voting for Bernie in the primary thanks to an electoral loophole, and let's not forget how the DNC were prepared to 'stick a knife in his back'.

"See you in the Supreme Court" is what he said when his first immigration ban order was injuncted.

Since then, he revoked that order, so no it literally isn't possible for it be disputed in the SC. An order no longer in effect does not affect anyone, so no-one has standing to dispute it. That doesn't go to any court, let alone the Supreme Court.

Now he bundles the two rulings together, and says "See you in the Supreme Court!"

I doubt it. He ran away the first time and he'll run away this time too.

The United Nations has contacted the Trump administration as part of an investigation into whether repealing the Affordable Care Act without an adequate substitute for the millions who would lose health coverage would be a violation of several international conventions that bind the United States. It turns out that the notion that “health care is a right” is more than just a Democratic talking point.

Cue obligatory wankfest about how impotent and irrelevant the UN is and how Murica should pull out.

I don't care what you think it important. anyone who thinks about it knows it would be a crisis making event if the FBI put out a report that said the sitting president colluded with Russia to win the election.

There's nothing to suggest that Trump did considering that Trump's been acting like the complete opposite of a Russian Puppet. And so what if Trulmp colluded? We rig elections all the time and often outright topple governments, not that it's right. There aren't exactly any laws against it, that I know of, and it would be retarted, not to mention hypocritical, to declare war against Russia.


there are a lot of suggestions that the campaign was colluding with the Russians. its not proven. it may turn out that investigations show that there was no collusion and it was all some Russian plot to make trump look guilty.

that's why we need a thorough investigation, preferably with an independent investigator of the caliber of ken starr.

no one wants to declare war on Russia. that would be crazy.

Donald Trump cares desperately what people think about him. If the UN starts publicly calling his healthcare plan a violation of human rights, he'd be furious. He'd rage on the internet until his thumbs wore through the screen of his phone. It doesn't matter whether the UN can do anything, he'd flip his shit anyway.

Also, it can hit Hawaii.

So, it is a threat to the US and US territories.

I still find it somewhat funny that Republicans can claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility but think they can reduce the deficit with tax cuts.

AND increased spending on their priorities.

never forget how more military spending doesn't affect the deficit.

those rockets aren't reliable and they don't have lots of big time ordinance to shell them with. SK is in the most immediate danger, any stupid movement by trump and a million Koreans could be dead.
