" Republicans make up a fake issue out of fake evidence and you expect liberals to act like it is real?"

" Will Trumpy be forced to issue mass pardons at the end of his reign of revenge and retribution terror campaign?"

Yes.

And he'll blame Joe Biden.

"an embargo that's not worked...or at least not worked yet and comes with significant consequences."

Thanks for proving my point #2.

"any thinking person would have known would lead to this bailout."

Are you saying that leaves out Republicans?

"DingDong is just "creating stories" so that the ... media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people"

Ahhh, the "Look what you made me do!" defense.

Or is it more "If you run out of lies, I can make up new ones!"...?

"dairy oversupply worth $3 billion from the previous administration."

My apologies: I missed this in the original equation. Once adjusted, that adds $10 billion. Trump's is "only" 50% higher...but that is all for less than one year, while the others represent multiple years.

And, as usual, it excludes the interest we'll pay to service the extra debt.

"Later the Reagan administration spent $100 million annually"

"the subsidies set to expire are borrowed money paid to insurance / medical industry complex"

So?

"either way there will be 'taxes' given away to the rich. "

One is in return for services, the other is a tax giveaway. Are you actually stating you don't know the difference?!?

" we've been bailing out farmers for a long time."

1. Not to this extent.

2. Not because of repeated self-inflicted gunshots.

Just admit: sales dropping to $0 is unprecedented, and a MAJOR eff-up.

"It was sold to us as perfect."

Is this one of those times you lie on purpose, just to get attention?!?

"How's Political War Zone doing?"

Is that what PWZ stands for? I thought it was ------- With Zits.

And why the SS never investigated the guy on the roof, despite being told multiple times.

And why his attending physicians never had a press conference. (Name ANY OTHER TIME in our lifetimes when that's happened.)

And why folks at the hospital, already under HIPAA, had to sign NDAs.

"The architects of the program assumed that risk pools would be bigger than they turned out to be."

Amazing what happened, when Republicans removed the mandate.

Please explain why an American flag was lowered into the background ...

... during an assassination attempt.

"I find it incredible anyone would claim it would bring healthcare costs down"

Maybe you should pick up a history book.

In the decade before Obamacare, inflation was 31%, while medical inflation was 131%, i.e., more than FOUR TIMES INFLATION. Trustees of medical insurance plans were freaking out over the trajectory. (I know; I was a Trustee of a medical insurance fund, and we were freaking out.)

What the ACA did, was bend the trajectory downward. That, combined with the after-effects of the Bush Bust and Bailout, lowered the inflation rate for multiple years, and gave a lot of Health Plans some breathing room.

As regulars know, I've been against the ACA since the start, but I've always said I'd give kudos if it addressed runaway medical inflation.

It did.

" The architects of the program assumed that risk pools would be bigger than they turned out to be."

Let's give credit where credit is due.

Republicans consistently refused to fix ANY of the flaws in Obamacare, for fear they'd be primaried.

By contrast, when it became apparent Republicans had screwed up wording in the tax code regarding farmers, Democrats voted to fix it immediately.

" Helium is a quintessential case of Dunning-Kruger."

But ... but ... but he was top in his class! Just ask him!!!

Either Gomer Comer doesn't know the difference between Medicaid and Medicare, or he's lying through his teeth.

Or, considering Comer ... both.

FTW, someone on Medicaid does NOT get coverage via the ACA. And the reason they're on Medicaid is because they have no assets.

Republicans want to add three days a week of transportation expenses to and from jobs, or to and from volunteer work ... for folks deemed too poor to afford medical premiums.

And all to justify borrowing trillions for tax giveaways.

" The 2020 election is universally recognized to have been stolen via Democrat voter fraud.".

When will the first piece of evidence be submitted to a court of law?

Because, to date, that amount is zero.

" Then what happened? Unwashed hordes, 20 million of them"

Is this where we pretend measles dormancy lasts for decades? Years? Months?

Why does every theory of yours rely on raging ignorance?

" 99% of people are poor because of ------ life choices."

Any actual proof of that claim, or are you using Republican Math?

" Economically, Trump is the most left-wing president in history."

What ... did he call himself a Socialist, once?

That's all it takes, amirite?

" dems want to add about another trillion to our debt"

You were silent when the Republicans wanted to add $5 trillion to our debt. AFTER they added $3 trillion to our debt.

Sit all the way down and shut the ---- up.

"Forget all this "what you believe you are"."

Sounds like BillJohnson's life mantra.

"Virulent Dem rhetoric has been non-stop amped up to 11 and you never say a damn thing about the people you are enabling who are doing it."

Thanks for proving my point.

One situation affects a few hundred on a blog. The other affects a few hundred million.

And, if you remember, I spoke up LOUDLY in YOUR defense when someone unfairly attacked you.

Forgotten already?
