The governments of the countries we've ignored have turned to shit so when their people flee to our country, we'll be just as shitty as the place they left!

That'll show 'em!

He committed a thousand murders.
He robbed a thousand banks.
He set a thousand buildings on fire.

We'd have no questions. Why is there any hesitation?

"There are about a thousand of us". Both chilling and galling.

It could be a kettle of soup.

It could be a laurel and hardy handshake.

It could be a hat with earflaps.

These are not serious people. They're just making sounds come out of their mouth holes.

Yep. He hid that part too.

I know. But he didn't say that part. He just said, "buy your own, we'll help."

"why don't we just pay this money directly to the people of our country and let them buy their own health insurance?"

That is literally the ACA we have now.

"Migrants brought their own cattle with them"???!?!?

Aw, FFS. They really think we'll believe anything, don't they?

May not have to reject applications. The tsunami of paperwork the states will have to handle might do the job for them.

Is this for real? Or some kind of surrealist parody?

I genuinely can't tell.

I admit I don't know much about Catholicism, but I was under the impression that questioning the Pope was a bad thing to do.

That's correct, Carl. In Trumpworld, imposing tariffs does not make prices go up, but removing tariffs will make prices come down.

What's difficult about that?

I don't know whether Greene has grown some in her job or if she's cynically playing us, but either way, Trump is deliberately painting a target on her back and it's shameful.

Wasn't it Corey who first introduced "womp, womp" into the popular lexicon? And isn't he the "companion" of the current DHS sec?

Why yes and yes!

My point being that about half of Americans get health insurance through an employer group plan--and that insurance doesn't count as taxable income. All those folks get a tax break when they get employer insurance. ACA credits give that same break to folks who buy their own insurance.

ANOTHER COMPETENT REPORTER: Will you give this money to people who get health insurance through their employer?

TRUMP: We’re going to give Americans the money to buy health insurance

COMPETENT REPORTER: Isn't that what ACA tax credits do?

Yeah, to get the lowdown on Bill, you need to call up Greg Norman. Remember that time Bill turned up with a sprained knee? Weekend at Greg's.
