You are correct! The very high PAYMENTS are no small thing, the insurance is gold plated CRAP in most states though.

What a win Obama/Pelosi and crew shoved up our arse...

I am NOT here to defend the GOP. I expected far more out of Obama than to sell out our health to the insurance companies.
But the ACA is all we have right now. I'd rather have single payer myself. I know it's all about the almighty dollar.

Its exactly the same. Brennan is now a news analyst, pundit, commentator, whatever. You'd be screaming until passed out if Brennan's journalistic peers, say a Shawn Hannity or a Tucker Carlson were issued equal clearance.

Not everybody has high payments under the ACA. It works for a lot of people.

So stop defending it. As long as you defend it the politicians know that they can rely on your vote no matter what they do.

Trump Is Turning the U.S. into the Kind of Country We Warn Americans to Avoid
Trump's latest targeting of former intelligence officials is unprecedented

By Cody Fenwick

And intelligence official targeting of POTUS is unprecedented.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These people are not royalty and immune to consequences. Especially those in political positions, such as the (vocal) former head of any agency appointed by the prior administration.

Do you have anything else relevant? No? / thread.

Well, if he gets voted out or impeached in the US, he can always go to Venezuela and realize his dream.

Look, the politicians are going to do what they're going to do. Any time people talk about single payer the majority of the country goes ape-sh** and starts screaming socialism. I don't think this country is ready to be like all of the other industrialized countries in the world. We're too ignorant. So, yes, I'll take what I can get.

Default Revoke my security clearance too, Mr. President

Strong words from a retired Navy admiral whom people are referring to as extremely non-partisan.

Wait for all the Trump Cultists to come on here now and bash the guy instrumental in ridding the world of Bin Laden because he spoke out against Trump.
