Everyoneโ€™s mocking Trump over the 50-year home mortgages. Well, I just got a 25-year car loan for only $299 a month. Between that and my $2-a-gallon gas, Iโ€™m saving a lot of money. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Right?! How much will you charge me for that triple bypass I need tonight? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

You donโ€™t go with the cheapest oncologist. You go to the best one when youโ€™ve just been diagnosed a month before you turn 30. Personal experience talking here.

Capitalism doesnโ€™t work for healthcare and never did.

It was Romneycare, written by the Heritage Foundation, FFS, until the Dems wanted to make it a federal program. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

I should skip statistics to study for my anatomy and physiology test tomorrow.

If I skip statistics, Iโ€™ll almost certainly bomb that test next week.

Iโ€™m not even considering my oral communications test tomorrow as worthy of time expenditure.

Whose idea was it to go back to school at 54?๐Ÿค”

Very true. Itโ€™s why they set up the ACA marketplace as a big group in the first place. Good lord. ๐Ÿซ

I will never understand how he convinced people he wasnโ€™t a part of the โ€˜elite.โ€™ Maybe itโ€™s because he sounds so stupid. Thatโ€™s the only explanation.

Any candid assessment of the Supreme Court must now conclude that it doesnโ€™t serve the Constitution, or the people, or justice. It exists solely to serve Donald Trump and to enable and embolden American Fascism.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

So let me get this straightโ€ฆ

Trump wants to give people money to buy individual insurance.

Who wants to tell him thatโ€™s Obamacare?

What heโ€™s describing is essentiallyโ€ฆthe ACA marketplace. ๐Ÿ™„

Exactly. There is no way in which this works. None. They canโ€™t even give people enough for the premiums, let alone actually paying for care.

I canโ€™t even with this level of idiocy. I mean, OMFG. This is right up there with the 50 year mortgage suggestion.

Also, werenโ€™t we supposed to get his very special healthcare plan in 2016?

Currently studying metabolism - again. Iโ€™m always amazed at how someone figured out that ATP exists at all, let alone that it requires many many steps and stuff with long names to combine to give us energy.

Holy shiznit. People are nuts. Excellent example of why I never shopped Black Friday sales. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Sounds like a plan to me. You couldnโ€™t pay me to actually go out and shop on Black Friday when going out and shopping was still a thing.

Sleep Token, Deftones, Linkin Park, Ghost, Spiritbox, Nine Inch Nails and more among 2026 rock and metal Grammy Award nominees The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will take place in Los Angeles on February 1

Iโ€™m totally conflicted on the metal and rock nominees. NINโ€™s โ€˜As Alive as You Need Me To Beโ€™ vs Yungbludโ€™s โ€˜Zombie.โ€™ Yungblud should, however, win for their cover of โ€˜Changes.โ€™ No conflict there. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ–ค

If you think the Republican party is planning to peacefully leave the White House after the 2028 election, you believe in fairy tales.
