Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Do you all think it'll come before or after he explains his Obamacare alternative?

[–] Red0ctober 43 points 1 year ago

Both will come after infrastructure week

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 35 points 1 year ago

I think after Mexico sends payment for his border wall folly.

Don’t forget Obama’s birth certificate

Only after releasing his own tax returns he promised.

[–] rayyy 2 points 1 year ago

Didn't he promise to leave the Unites States if he lost the election?

[–] s_i_m_s 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't he already present one? Just it was so bad it was going to cause something like 20 million people to lose their insurance? So he couldn't even get the republicans to vote for it?... Went back and checked https://www.npr.org/2017/05/24/529902300/cbo-republicans-ahca-would-leave-23-million-more-uninsured yeah that did actually happen.

[–] Nightwingdragon 6 points 1 year ago

Well of course the GOP was not going to vote for it. 20 million losing their health insurance in one fell swoop? Gotta get those numbers up first!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Both are scheduled for right after Infrastructure Week!

"Who would have thought healthcare was so hard?" All the people who realize the 'helpers' need years of training and continuing education, the people who realize that medical graduates still need years of training before they're allowed to do it on their own. I can't believe people heard him say that and still took him seriously.

Or maybe after his proof that Obama was really born outside of America.
