Shep Smith at Fox isn't having it...tired of all the lies ( straight from my echo chamber)
Shep Smith calls 'em out on their bullshit (pushing this through without the CBO running the numbers). Remember when the ACA was debated over the course of a year? And the GOP said it was "forced down their throat"? That lie is repeated to this day, but never mind the hypocrisy of their proposed replacement, they are even keeping other Republicans (Rand Paul) in the dark about the contents.
Michael Flynn acting as a foreign agent-on a 500k retainer-for Turkey while working for Trump. Just more conspiracy theories!!!

Fake news... Stopped reading.
Speaking of which. Trump sad the job reports were "fake" while Obama was president...guess what he's saying now?
He was bragging about this on his twitter rant last week.

Looking forward to this. Knew it was just a matter of time.
Game Change was a fantastic book. I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Yea sure, 45k jobs created by Trump in 6 weeks. Just as I said...read an intro to economics book. Doesn't work that way.
Reminds me of Romney's promise to get UE to 6%. Politically it was a brilliant move. The work done by the Obama administration already had us on that trajectory. So if Romney got elected he could then claim credit for this. See? With Obama it was 8-9%, but today it's less than 6! This would have practically guaranteed him a second term IMO.

AARP has come out against Trump's new healthcare plan, as have other Republican governors in states where the Medicaid expansion has helped their constituents. The AMA has also come out against it, claiming it will make coverage more expensive. Right leaning Republicans have also come out against it because they don't like subsidies...I mean tax credits.
Trump the great "negotiator" originally said he would negotiate with drug companies to help lower costs, says that's something he'll do later. Guess he's too busy tweeting about Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin to give big pharma a call.

The article clearly says that people are motivated by Trump's election to seek work.
The first sentence in the article points out that Trump inherited this great economy from Obama. Please show me some sort of data that proves people are motivated by Trump to join the workforce again. That's an almost farcical statement actually.
The Stock Market has soared because investors believe Trump is good for the economy.
Again, same thing. The article points out that he inherited a robust stock market. We've gotten a bump because WS peeps are hopeful for deregulation and low taxes. Big deal. As usual Obama's stock market was no indicator of economic health, or faith in his administration, while Trump's DOW bump is because WS now has a positive outlook. Yea, you're fair and balanced.
The first group doesn't get to bitch and the 2nd group should take up their issues with all the progressives who think being gender fluid is in fashion and make a mockery of the incredibly small portion of the population who actually meet the medical definition of being "trans-gendered."
There you go with your weird hang up on transsexuals again. You sure talk about gay and trannies a lot.

Fucking Trump, adding an extra 100k jobs. ]
Do you understand what an economic lag is? Trump has not put anything in place to take credit for 100k jobs yet. Nor has he been in office long enough to take credit for low UE. Of course when Obama was president: Job gains were only minimum wage, saving the auto industry was "socialism", UE was now calculated in a completely different way, the DOW was propped up by the Fed and real estate was again "in a bubble."
Magically this line of thinking all disappeared overnight. Everything Trump inherited from Obama is now his, and it's all great, even though it defies anything you'd learn in a Macro economics 101 course. #MAGA

Now that is some serious bullshit...
I have posted about Trump's/Repubs tax plans mostly to nobody's interest. Especially yours RF....
I've posted that the handling of Obamacare was important to me and the pre-existing conditions clause being an absolute key component to be addressed and protected.
I'm pissed that precious government money can be spent on fucking walls and deportation but not on healthcare subsidies...
Trump and Co have been an embarrassment. Trump is a fraud. I couldn't be more disappointed with how he's taken over.
Think you're bummed out now, wait until you read up on their new healthcare "plan."
