Wow the way you described killing an active head of an al qaeda cell I thought it was the Sunday school teacher.

So you support terrorists killing Americans.

active head of cell? I think he was much lower on the totem pole. killing him really boosted his following, so it was counterproductive as well as illegal.

During the 2024 Presidential Election campaign, Trump tried to distance himself from the policy agenda of Project 2025 .... In practice, Trump is slavishly adhering to their policies.

I just explained that. The 2024 Trump Presidential Campaign distanced themselves from Project 2025's policy agenda, but he is following it verbatim as President.

I don't remember many Dems caring when ACA added about 6k to my yearly health care costs for the same level of care. I think its up 8k now, but I would have to check the math.

or about Bidenflation.

or gas prices.

or energy prices.

or egg prices pre 1/20/2025

I love how the hypocrisy flips. I seriously wonder if you partisan shills just get together and trade talking points on election night. Because now the Rs are saying tariffs are good for the economy, and yall think its bad. the Rs now think the president ignoring courts is good, while the Dems now think its bad.

we are only a couple months in, I can't wait to see what all gets flipped just for the sake of partisanship.

Ha.

Over the course of three years I tried to buy via the exchange because my company was too small to cover insurance for the employees, I went from $600/month, to $900/month, to $1250/month premiums with a $6000 deductible and only 60% co-insurance post-deductible and zero pharmacy coverage for EVERY SINGLE PLAN, from bronze to platinum... they were all identical for me. It was crapping money away to buy it, and I got penalized every year on my taxes because Obama was a piece of garbage that sold out to insurance companies and whoever else when he forced through that BS.

Because of Obamacare most normal employed people, especially young ones (as I was at the time), literally could not afford healthcare because we were subsidizing everyone else. A lot of bigger companies that could absorbed that extra cost, which is why your relatives were not affected. Anyone working for a smaller business got royally screwed.

Now, between myself and my employer, we're paying $1K/month for myself and my wife, and it's only that "low" because my boss works with our HR people to shop it between states literally every single year.

And without "Obama care" the same thing may have happened.
As for what you pay now newsflash prices of
everything has went up in the last.12 years.
My first new truck was a 1972 F 100$3 000.00
My last truck purchase was a 2019 2500 silverado Z71 for $68,000. Who do I blame that increase on?
