Joe Ferguson forever

There’s an income limit after which subsidies end but access to the marketplace continues.

i'm a white boomer. I don't believe I've lived my life. Boomers are maga targets these days. More divide and conquer. What do you propose we do to support you? Give you our 401k's? Sounds like socialism....I thought you were against that.

So the average Joe will have money left over after paying for a $100k heart bypass or paying for similarly priced cancer drugs? Not a chance. Nothing improves unless limits are set on healthcare pricing. People will still go bankrupt trying to pay for medical expenses, probably more often than now.

His base who are reliant on these programs still support him. That’s even more stupid. I believe more will turn on him as they are tangibly affected more.

I’m white. Skin color is not important or relevant. And your hypothetical scenario will not occur in the foreseeable future. Rather than applied eugenics, many are focused on survival.

And why should we trust trump to “get renegotiating”? He’s stonewalled repeatedly at the expense of the American people. He clearly wants to end market place insurance subsidies. And he’s not winning in the court of public opinion. Over 60% of Americans believe R’s are to blame. It’s that 37% core MAGAs that don’t. We’re back down to the base which is very encouraging.

Not gonna happen Too many maga incels. At least you’re honest. You want to make America whiter.

I’ll interpret. He was proving you were wrong.

I think the stock market will be fine. “His people” will be protected. Anyone not heavy in the market is already suffering. That’s most of the populace and he’ll pretend to care about them as he destroys their safety nets.

It’s official. Trump is using poor Americans, many of whom voted for him, as pawns in his budget chess game. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/07/appeals-allows-november-snap-payments-to-continue-for-now-00643495 Same thing with air travelers. He cares nothing about regular Americans. Bondi is scum “Judicial activism at its worst,” she wrote in a post on X slamming McConnell, an Obama appointee. “A single district court in Rhode Island should not be able to seize center stage in the shutdown, seek to upend political negotiations that could produce swift political solutions for SNAP and other programs, and dictate its own preferences for how scarce federal funds should be spent.”

This sickens me. Just another gangster in the White House mafia.

trump is trying to convince people that costs are decreasing. They literally aren't buying it. To his shame, Biden tried the same thing with similar results https://finance.yahoo.com/news/consumer-sentiment-drops-to-3-year-low-as-americans-worry-about-shutdowns-economic-impacts-153001057.html

Another whopper....I mean turkey. It wouldn't shock me to know that he thinks the cost of a promotional meal is an excellent indicator of the broader cost of living. But at least get the facts right. Sleaze ball turkey for the don. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-cost-walmart-thanksgiving-meal-rcna242357 These are amazing. A relative has the whole set up. natural gathering spot.

Gator? Why don’t you quote him and we can both set him straight. This place is full of intrigue. Tommy eyerolls is now Wolfgang?

I don’t do twitter where ya been? I know you’ve got much to say. Jousting with you was always entertaining.

I think we all interpret the proceedings in a somewhat biased manner. At a CNN roundtable, all were asked which justice they were watching. A legal reporter said "Alito". Wow! I'm waiting for Marcia Coyle to weigh in on PBS. She's better than most at reading tea leaves and has covered SCOTUS for decades. In the end, we need to wait for the decision.

i don't hear anyone celebrating. I watched the owner of the parts and service company that got destroyed, almost in tears. He's convinced 2 of his missing employees are dead and they're still trying to account for some customers. It was clear from the first video of the crash that the plane failed during take off. Why would anyone think that was due to air traffic control?

Ai failed miserably, here. Perhaps continents weren't specific enough.

Times change. Yesterday was an excellent example. And it only took 1 year. I don't think we'll campaign on those issues. Easy answer to the abortion question is that SCOTUS ruled on it. That doesn't preclude us from trying to expand SCOTUS but it need not be mentioned or highlighted.

I asked Ai the question "who pays air traffic controllers in..." Europe, Asia,S. America, Africa. Each answer began with "The national government generally pays." Interestingly, Brazil's are employed by the Air Force. I did find an entity called Eurocontrol which is run by multiple member states that appears to regulate air travel in Europe but does not appear to be private. What countries are you referring to?

because it works so well for healthcare...

I did. He's on the fringe of the party. As one of the panel discussing it said "He was spiking the football". Not always wise but understandable given trump directly threatened him Success begets success. I think we'll see more Abigail Spanberg and Miki Sherrill like candidates. Beshear, Shapiro and even Newsome are much more like them than mamdami.

this what I was disagreeing with "Fortunately for the GOP, the Democrats are going to over interpret the results of last night and double down in opposition to deportations and in support of very niche curated ideas that rich white progressives love like trans issues and socialism.""

Nope. we're going to stick with "affordability." trump has 3 years to deliver. Do you see him doing it? I was watching the post mortem on Fox just nowandBen Shapiro pointed out the drastic change in the young vote yesterday. He felt they were disappointed in affordability from trump and they'll likely swing back and forth looking for an answer til someone delivers.
