Summary of Trump's drastic cuts to ACA advertising and assistance. His tactic is to sabotage the ACA in an effort to coerce politicians to come to him to negotiate so that he can get what he wants. It's similar to other 'Art of the Deal' strong-arm tactics that he has used in decades past, such as building (or threatening to build) walls around other people's residences to get what he wants for himself.

Th Senate adds ACA repeal to the tax reform bill. Senate Republicans tie tax plan to repeal of key Obamacare mandate From the article: "Ron Wyden, the committee’s top Democrat, demanded more time for Democrats to discuss the issue “because we were never told that healthcare was going to be part of it and this just flew in literally out of nowhere in the last 20 minutes.”" "Eliminating the individual mandate would lower the number of Americans with health insurance, meaning the federal government would spend less on subsidizing coverage for lower- and middle-income people, making that money available to pay for tax cuts. "
Trump goes after the Republican mascot, the elephant. Donald lifts the ban on elephant trophies imported from Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has been unable to prove that their elephant population is growing, instead it has declined by 6%. Trump's new Department of the Interior head, Rryan Zinke, who doesn't believe in climate change, wants to make the department's flag as large as the U.S. flag, and asked Trump to weaken protection for 27 national monuments (he did for the first time in history, I believe), pushed the deal...probably so Trump's son's can go kill a few more elephants for trophies.
Ivanka Trump goes after Roy Moore for his sexual improprieties, but fails to mention those commented by her father......Donald. Of course she doesn't believe the 24 women who have come out against dad. Or the then 13 year old women who filed several lawsuits against Don Trump for tying her to a bed, beating and then raping her in 1994. She had two witnesses but withdrew her suits after receiving numerous death threats.
If I remember correctly, one of his sons like to go on safari hunts and kill all sorts of endangered animals, and then have them stuffed, so he could place them on the walls of his multi-million dollar New York Crib.
Everyone here needs to know Trump and Pence have nominated a guy named Tully or Tally to be a judge. He has no experience. He has been deemed unqualified by the American Bar Association. He has written articles in support of the KKK and the confederate states. And now Trump and Pence want him for a federal judge position????
Trump's move has liberated the downtrodden working class in the U.S. who now have the freedom to pay $50,000 to hunt an elephant in Africa.
Not just worse. The nomination of Talley also gets stranger. Although he has never tried a case in a court of law, it's good to know that Talley has tried cases of ghosts supposedly being inside a house. Trump picks ghost hunter to be federal judge 15 November 2017 Trump picks ghost hunter to be judge Excerpts: "But he did divulge his Tuscaloosa Paranormal Research Group membership." "He also maintains a horror blog online, when not searching for ghosts." "In a questionnaire form submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr Talley revealed his 2009-10 affiliation with the phantom chasers."
Every one Trump has nominated for a big cabinet position or agency position has had a recognizable agenda. They all wish to destroy the agency they were nominated to lead. The Trump nominees wish to ruin the Department of Energy, the EPA, the Department of Interior, the Department of Justice, Housing and Urban Development, and now the Health and Human Services. It's like Trump and Pence want to kick the country back into the pre-civil rights era. And that is something the KKK has wanted for years!
Do you realize how big of a living room you would need to hang such a trophy? Trump is making it legal to ship elephant trophies back to the USA! Elephants are very- social animals and have a memory as good if not better than human-kind. What sort of an ass do you think it would take to kill one of these magnificent animals?
I might be wrong; but, I think elephants went on the endangered list back in 1975. And the trade in ivory was banned soon after that. What sort of a creep would want to bring their parts to hang on a wall in New York City?
I think he did it for his sons who are both big game hunters...they love dead carcasses, eh? Geez, what a nutty family.
Not the kind I would want to have anything to do with. Heartless, assholes.....Can't stand any of them....I wish the Trump clan would vanish. Hate them. I hope kamra is true...and eventually......
