President Trump on Monday blasted ObamaCare, saying it is "dead" and "finished."

"ObamaCare is finished. It's dead. It's gone," Trump said Monday.

"You shouldn't even mention it, it's gone. There is no such thing as ObamaCare anymore. It is a — and I said this years ago — it's a concept that couldn't have worked."

29. I heard that the Democrats in Congress are working on ways to fund it. It is not none just because

Trump says it is. He is not all powerful. He's just part of a bunch of greedy billionaires who want to break the US so they can plunder.

45. We were brainwashed by super wealthy traitors like Murdoch and the Koch brothers who have been

working on this for over 30 yrs. It didn't just happen that the scum of the earth rose to power. We are not built to hate our fellow Americans who are minorities. We have been jerked around by our emotions and played by our fears, and constantly lied to. They have been changing laws to ease their way into stealing our democracy. They have taken the things we love and twisted their meaning so we have trouble defending their worth.

Sorry, I am ranting, but I have seen this coming and I have to respond to "how did we get here".

I want the Fairness Doctrine reestablished so lies will not pass as news.

There must be accountability for want is put out there as the truth.I have faith that our people will not succumb to this treachery when they are given the truth.

I hope that I am wrong and that it is our national enemies like Russia and not the wealthy of our own country who have set this upon us.

it's both but the depravity of the republicans, their funders, and corporate media made putin's useful idiot the president.

we're so screwed.

if you haven't yet, watch "the brainwashing of my dad." it's a history of the manipulation of the people by right wing media going back to Ailes in Nixon's WH.

8. He has no idea how government or policy making works.

Nor does he have an ounce of empathy, which is needed to understand how someone will react in a time of need.

This isn't like promoting a hotel. It's life and death, and the people who are in charge of 100% of the federal government will be blamed.

The only silver lining, and I know that's a horrible thing to say, is that Obamacare is still the law of the land, such that a future President can put it back together without needing to wait for Congress.

The country still operates under this law passed by the legislative branch, regardless of Republican and presidential sabotage.

What goes around, comes around - this is the kind of shit that makes people lifelong Democrats, like watching the Watergate Hearings did for a lot of us a long time ago!

as long as his name is on it.

I am sure the dems know this.

I suppose as long as he gets to erase Obama from history, or thinks he has, he might go along with single payer...he even said once he would.

But what he says means nothing, of course.

Whining that they are not getting anything done because the dems will not co-operate with them. Standing next to him was
McConnell who famously said when Obama got elected the rethugs would do everything they could to make him fail.
I wonder why someone does not bring this up and ask McConnell if he remembers his meeting on the night of Obama's win.

34. It DID work.

In its first year, Obamacare did work, you fat charleton. I was on it for 3 months during a layoff and the price was $22 LESS than what my employer took out each month before and after I went back to work for them for the EXACT SAME coverage.

I can't live w/o my diabetes meds, and without the subsidies this fat fuck just signed away, I won't be able to afford the insurance I need to pay for them and I will slowly DIE. If my relapse-remit MS comes back, I'll get sicker even sooner.

42. More like WaterlooCare

I do not believe you can legally overturn an Act of Congress by executive order. This isn’t like Trump setting aside one of Obama’s EOs; rather, it is an attempt to repeal a properly passed statute via unilateral action.

Here is the problem we all face. The states are currently fixin’ ta sue the Trump administration over this illegal EO. This is going to wind up in the Supreme Court. If the states win, the Trump presidency is effectively over; because he won’t have anything to do (mainly because Congress will simply go into caretaker mode until February 2019) he’ll just retreat to one of his golf courses and tweetstorm the NFL, Congress, Hillary or whatever suits his fancy. If Trump wins, the United States of America is effectively over because we’ll have changed our government’s basis from Consent of the Governed to Divine Right of the King.

I realize Trump picked Gorsuch for just such an eventuality, but Gorsuch will have to vote to slap down King Don...because in the final analysis, you cannot do what Trump did and get away with it.

because they planned to make it fail and wanted President Obama associated with it accordingly.

Hopefully your obsession with a REAL President is eventually your undoing to your 'presidency' and your brand.
