WH Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows said the President’s healthcare plan is “ready”, and that it will be an “executive action with a legislative component”.
But he did not say when they will roll it out.

It's going to cure all cancer and give everyone a full head of healthy hair. Just got to wait a couple of weeks. Well, till after the election at the latest.

Americans, if you are good and vote for Trump, you will get some healthcare on Nov. 5th.
But if you vote for Biden, Trump will send out his Death Panels.

But that's health care, too, isn't it? After all, it solves your problem. And the Repubs have never actually said what they wanted to replace the ACA with, have they?

Kayleigh McEnany says

"I'm not going to give you a readout of what our health care plan looks like and who's working on it. if you want to know, come work here at the White House"

Yeah, it's not like the electorate needs any actual information a month and a half before an election!

You are going to pay for it but it’s none of your business. Trump politics, or Republican politics?

But Trump put so much effort into preparing for the debates!

From: NBC
President Donald Trump has not held a single mock debate session, and has no plans to stage a formal practice round, as he readies for his first faceoff with Joe Biden in less than three weeks, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.

Oh, never mind.

Remember that Trump pulled the same thing in the 2016 election... he had a great health care plan that would cover everything and be cheaper, but gave no details.

To nobody's surprise here, there actually was no health care plan.

Oh come on, how much practice do you need for some stream of consciousness
when it's your turn to talk, and yelling "WRONG!" every time your opponent speaks? Trump probably doesn't get why anyone would prepare.

I would love for Wallace to bring two bicycles to the debate and challenge the two candidates to a race, though :D .

“Cratered”. We have plenty of politics to go around without disrespecting our great American Flag or Anthem. I thought the NFL learned their lesson two years ago. The people will not put up with this (again). Just not worth it, hard to watch!

The NFL's TV ratings have crated, and are reportedly down 28% to open the season compared to 2019.
This is what happens when you make sports about politics. People stop watching.

Trump has exposed the decades of foreign policy failures by the elite, political class.
THAT is why they hate him.

Woodward says that Trump can't tell what "is real and what is unreal". I think that's becoming increasingly apparent at this point. He believes his own lies.

:sulks: I notice they haven't marked any of Biden's tweets as manipulated media. They only do this to Twump for some reason! Unfair! :pouts:

That's been part of the problem with most Republicans the last decade or so. They've collectively made the great mistake of believing their own propaganda.

Propaganda like "Dem Leftists want to destroy America!" is all fun and games when all we're talking about is what an obscure tax rate should be, but now that they actually believe that line, we're at a point where they've politicized the response to the pandemic, because they can't bring themselves to admit that the Democratic governors are honestly interested in promoting the health and well being of their constituents.

The election’s a few weeks away, please vote for the president without asking stupid questions like “what are his actual policies”

It’s also apparent that he can’t remember them.

CDC Director Dr. Redfield and other officals were asked directly about Trump's health plan he claims to have. None of them knew anything about it. In other words, Trump is lying. :jaw-dropp

Just like his taxes, it'll all come out after the election...

This is fake news. He was asked about his plans for the next term and gave an answer:

;)

That stupid bitch better have a good back-up plan. She's going to be radioactive come January. I'm assuming her plan is to work on whatever the Trump's media network will be. That will likely fail like everything else Trump does.

Of course there isn't.

I've said it before, no real, actual healthcare plan that is an alternative to what we have now exists in secret.

There are healthcare models available in the world. They are present in places like "think tanks" and academic journals. They have been argued about and debated by lots of people, with their strengths and weaknesses addressed. These are developed by smart people with expertise in this area, and the same is the case for the critics.

If there were some awesome new model that could replace our current system, and cover everyone and do it cheaper, there would be people talking about it all over the place.

There is no way in hell that Ivanka and Jared have solved it, and there is no way in hell that if they had, they would be hiding it away.

"Who knew healthcare could be so complicated?"

Besides everyone.

Is Trump going to announce peace between Canada and the US next week?

Only the best people, part xxxiv.

Top HHS official takes leave of absence after Facebook rant on CDC conspiracies

I think this could actually help the Democratic candidate, though. Because it's a strategy, and some people might think it's clever, and want to have clever people running the government. Dems aren't scheming enough, IMO - enough, that is, to counteract the snake**** tactics of the right.

I like that the Republicans think the Democrats have found a black woman to act as a sleeper agent to turn on blacks and women when she gets in power.

No Republicans finding the one member of a minority demographic that hates that demographic to parade about is your skill, not theirs.

I posted this in another thread. It's 20 years old and Trump is still saying the same old ****. And that run for POTUS in 2000? Maybe he will and may be he won't.

Well, why not he evidently had taken leave of his senses.


Why the heck would Trump have cause "to stand down at the inauguration" unless he lost? The previous assertion of Biden simply not conceding to a loss just doesn't cut it. It just came across to me as expecting Trump to lose and not "stand down".


Two of my Trump supporter coworkers binge on this koolaid and are discussing how they are arming themselves for their expected fan/excrement interface.

Biden speaking today

“Folks, the president's first responsibility is to protect the American people, and he won't. It's utterly disqualifying.”

“Let me be clear: I trust vaccines, I trust the scientists, but I don't trust Donald Trump. At this moment, the American people can't, either.”

Biden responds to Trump blaming him for the lack of a national mask mandate by correctly pointing out that Trump is in fact the president

Biden points out the President suggested injecting bleach and nuking hurricanes

But then, who among us hasn’t?

Fake News!! He suggested injecting disinfectant. He never specifically said bleach. ;)

Seems pretty easy for Biden when the President says insane things about him. He just has to point out that he is not the President and doesn't say insane stuff.

Trump does seem to make it easy for Biden, to be sure. It's like being the sibling of a bully who respects no rules or boundaries and has no respect or compassion for anyone around them. All their sibling has to do is act like your average kid and they'll come across as a little angel to their parents.

I do think there's a lot to be said about Biden having a lot to gain from simply sitting reasonably still and not drawing too much attention to himself. Never interrupt your opponent while they're making a mistake, but be sure to point it out to everyone afterwards.

Trump again uttering an antisemitic trope. :mad:

Imagine Omar or Tlaib saying Israel is the country of the American Jews.
Pundits on CNN, MSNBC, ... would dedicate at least two news cycles to it.

But Trump? Yawn ...

A catalog of Trump's lies yesterday:

Her chicken-**** answer to the question about the Trump re-tweet which suggested Biden is a pedophile was "I'd have to refer you to the campaign, I'm not here to talk about Joe Biden."

Except when she does

An uplifting article from the Norwegian evening post: the US is delivering on climate, despite Donald Trump
(small note: in the header of the first post, GT for some reason translated the Norwegian word for 'coal' to 'litter'.

rump said he would have a bill on day 1
In July 2020 he said he would sign a plan at the end of July
In August he said he would have a plan by the end of August
Yesterday he said the plan is ready
Today, you need to work for the WH to see the plan

Tomorrow, you need to work at the White House for two weeks.

It's difficult to find people who last that long.

Trump just now "governors are the biggest threat to this election".
"I will put down any riots that interfere with this product, er, election."
"Governors are a worse threat to this election than foreign government interference"

Perhaps she was referring to the high employee turnover rate of the WH, and suggesting that eventually the entire population of the US will have worked there at some point.

Like Gov. Kemp of Georgia? Or maybe he does the "good" kind of interference?

AG Barr rages against mail ballots, Democratic "socialists."
https://www.mediaite.com/news/listen...-all-that-sht/

Funny (not) how that always becomes the utmost concern when a politician ***** up so badly.

Trump is again claiming he read Woodward's book "last night." This is the second day in a row that Trump has claimed he spent the previous night reading a 480-page book "very rapidly."

The vaccine and distribution will be powerful, so powerful, extremely power. Power that will project power. Powerful, tremendously powerful. Soon.

Masks are touchy, they touch things, they touch you, very touchy things, masks.

Nobody reads faster than Trump. He reads so fast that the words don't register in his brain so he has to do it all again.

Of course, he means only Democrat governors. And RINO governors.

I'm surprised it wasn't "very strongly" or "very bigly".
