Well said. The cognitive dissonance is startling. “His ineptitude caused this pandemic” yet Dem governors are praising him because there are too many hospital beds, ventilators, and PPE. “he’s got a 3rd grade vocabulary” but he also collided with Russia to steal the election. “He’s so dumb he bankrupted casinos.” Meanwhile, “he only ran a successful campaign for President and got elected to line his own pockets with money.” “Trump’s going to start WW3” also “he briefly talked to NK Dictator and pulled troops from Syria/Turkey, he doesn’t care about our close allies.” “What’s he gonna do wave a major wand to bring jobs back?” “Trumps trade war is hurting farmers.” “Trump tax cuts ONLY help the rich.” while they received the lowest reduction in their tax bracket, like 2% and the vast majority of everyone else got a much larger tax break, plus for many in the top 1%, in certain states SALT causes them to pay even more than pre-2018. “Trump doesn’t care about affordable healthcare” and my personal health insurance dropped from $600/month to $240/month and the deductible went from $5000 down to $1000 plus I have dental. The list continues to grow.

Yes, and also on my old ACA plan, I, a man, was paying for maturity care as well, and probably somebody’s gender reassignment or as Rush always called it: an ‘AddadicktoMe’ procedure. Meanwhile, I had a co-worker paying $24/month for BCBS Gold plan (my premium was for BCBS Catastrophic/Bronze I believe) my premium for BCBS Gold would’ve been over $1000/month and it just wasn’t worth it since I never go to the doctor. Last time I visited an urgent care place was about 3 weeks ago because I scratched my cornea cutting tall shrubs. They gave me prescription drops, I paid $25 co-pay like the good ole days, so I’m completely happy since I have usable insurance now. Not quite as good as the pre-ACA days where I got the ‘Gold’ plan for just $100/mo but still. For the Record, idk what Blue Cross is charging these days or if they’re even still operating in NC, this is some subsidiary of Cigna that I got from randomly obliging a cold caller, but hey, it works that’s all I’m concerned about!

BCBS? Sounds like a bunch of bs to me. I haven't had medical insurance since 1991.

As a group, the only set of taxpayers that paid more income taxes after the changes were..... people making more then $1M. Yes, you read that correctly. Because of other changes (like the SALT deduction limitation), the "rich" actually paid more taxes. Individually, some people in each group paid more and some paid less. But, those were outliers.

What did you hear from the Misleadia? crickets

FYI, Trump simply made a bad call by buying a casino at that particular time. It wasn't mismanagement... a BUNCH of casinos went bankrupt around that time, as the gaming industry was hurting.

The NJ Casino scene DIED. It had nothing to do with DJT. All his bankruptcies were good moves.
