Is that accurate re: GOP membership? Probably is, but I'm fairly sure the last sentence is bollocks.
 
Yeah, it defintely needs some gold toilets & the world's largest cubic zirconia.
 
http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Covered-California-premiums-to-rise-12-5-percent-11723665.php

Covered California, which was created under the Affordable Care Act and is in its fourth year of operation, announced the proposed 2018 prices on Tuesday. 12.5 percent is the average increase statewide; several Bay Area counties will see smaller increases. The rate increase will be 6.6 percent in San Francisco, 4.3 percent in San Mateo County, 8.2 percent in Contra Cost County and 8.3 percent in Alameda County.

For some consumers who receive federal subsidies, the premium increases will be offset by larger federal subsidies, Covered California officials said.

In 2017, average rates jumped 13.2 percent — a dramatic uptick compared to the modest 4 percent premiums increases in 2016 and 2015. The ratesreleased on Tuesday are preliminary and must still receive final approval from state insurance regulators.
 


Feck my life. I honestly don't know what to say. The question in itself is fecking menthol, but some of the replies are frightening. Scratch that, they are petrifying.

These people have less of a clue than Trump. No, they have the same clue he does. I particularly like the comment about it not being in the USA's nature to start wars. :lol: You would have thought people might have learned their lessons after the clusterfeck of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the fact those wars have cost hundreds of thousands of lives and nearly bankrupted the country (and half the world) Apparently not. GO USA! Wooooooooo! Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaw!
 
:lol:

Meanwhile, in one of the most famous dumps, I mean houses in the entire world.......



Well it's sort of a dump. A house built in the 19th century is sure to have glaring deficiencies despite the constant renovations throughout the years. Obama jokingly said more than once about speed of Internet there.
 
That's not the Whte House, Donald - it's a golf cart.
 
:lol:



Yet more outrageous stupidity from the man who is more clueless than my poor Alzheimer afflicted Grandfather was. Even he had moments of clarity and spoke sense half the time. Trump is out there, permanently.
 
:lol: I hope you are taking the piss.
I wasn't. Granted, nearly everything that came out of The Donald's upper anus is pure unadulterated horse manure, but broken clock twice a day and all that.


It's fairly easy to dig up accounts of past presidents complaining about living condition in the WH. Hell, Mary Todd Lincoln did it :lol:

It looks pretty though, to be sure.

Come on, it's hardly a dump though is it? And I'm pretty sure renovations would have the place bang up to date, and I am also sure that it will be furnished with every single comfort anyone could ever want, including the infamous bowling alley and basketball court. It's not even that old either, I live in a 15th century house so believe me I know about old buildings.

I think the biggest issue is with the internet in the residential area, they had some heating issues too, and the West Wing has a fly issue (there was an interview where Obama killed one midway through). Of course, nothing too major and us plebs would be over the moon to be living in there, considering the army of servants employed to see for your every needs, but for millionaires and billionaires used to the comfort of a modern condominium/high rise/private estate, they would be less than enthusiastic living in there for an extended length of time.

It's all relative. There are a million more Trump quotes to laugh at. Does that one show him to be elitist? Sure, not a surprise.
 


Humility knows no bounds.

I can imagine the conversation. Head of Boy Scouts makes courtesy call.
"Thank you Mr President for taking the time to speak to the boy scouts. Now, about that speech, it might have been in...(appropriate)"

Trump cuts in "Incredible speech. I give the best speeches. Great speech am I right?"

"It certainly was unlike any other."

Trump "I know the best speeches. The boy scouts won't hear another like that."

Long pause "...Yes, we certainly hope so Mr President."
 

Statements like this just blow my mind:


At one point, Trump seemed annoyed that one of The Wall Street Journal reporters in the room called the reaction to his July 24 Boy Scouts speech “mixed.”

“There was no mix there. That was a standing ovation from the time I walked out to the time I left, and for five minutes after I had already gone. There was no mix,” Trump said.

He added: “And I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful. So there was — there was no mix.”

The chief of the Boy Scouts subsequently apologized for the political nature of the speech.

So he is claiming that throughout the entire speech, the whole crowd was standing applauding him? It is so troubling that he will lie about things that are easily disproved. I just cannot understand why no one pulls him up on these things. He lies, and is allowed to get away with it -perhaps due to the sheer volume of untruths that he is spouting.

He's a psychopath.
 
Trump transcripts are so much fun.
BAKER: What have you been doing, Mr. President, sort of behind the scenes?

TRUMP: A lot. A lot.

BAKER: I mean, what do you think the crucial conversations have been?

TRUMP: Many conversations. I just had one with a certain senator that was very convincing to that senator. So I’ve done a lot.

:rolleyes:
 
Trump now actively, and fairly of course, absolutely fairly, deducting Clinton 9 EC votes to make up for the 3 million dead voters.
TRUMP: Well, they tried — they tried it with me. She spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads. She didn’t do a positive ad, virtually. And she lost easily, you know, 306 to 223 I think, right – 223, something like that. ...

TRUMP: But one of the things we’re doing that, so Gary and I are working – because I said, you know, Gary, we’re going to have Foxconn come in. We’re going to have a lot of companies that are coming in. Foxconn’s coming in with a big plan. We have Tim Cook I spoke to, and he’s promised me three big plants – big, big, big. I said, you know, Tim, unless –

WSJ: Really? Where?

TRUMP: We’ll have to see. You can call him. But I said, Tim, unless you start building your plants in this country, I won’t consider my administration an economic success, OK? And he’s called me and he says, you know, they’re going forward, three big, beautiful plants. You’ll have to call him. I mean, maybe he won’t tell you what he tells me, but I believe he will do that. I really believe it.

TRUMP: That’s up to them. But we’re going to have a very good relationship with the U.K. And we do have to talk to the European Union, because it’s not a reciprocal deal, you know.

The word reciprocal, to me, is very important. For instance, we have countries that charge us 100 percent tax to sell a Harley-Davidson into that country. And yet, they sell their motorcycles into us, or their bikes, or anything comparable, and we charge them nothing.

Funny he should mention this, because I use this exact example (but from the 80s) as a case study with business students of mine sometimes.

:rolleyes:

:lol: He's astoundingly dim.

I've long since decided that there is no point in listening to anything that tool has to say about anything whatsoever. He knows the square root of feck all about anything and you could write his responses yourself without prior knowledge of the questions - "You know I was talking to a leading expert on this last night. Great friend of mine, lovely family, beautiful people. I know a lot of experts. That's a nice smile you have by the way are you Finnish? Finland loves me. Great country I have so many friends there. Anyway he has the finest mind, very intelligent man like myself, and he agreed with me like everyone does (except the fake news media) So we all know this but yeh I mean Hilary....." etc etc etc
 
Not the quotes of a man who was planning to fire someone days later...
TRUMP: Number one, they should go after the leakers in intelligence. I don’t mean the White House stuff where they’re fighting over who loves me the most, OK? (Laughter.) It’s just stupid people doing that.

BAKER: Anthony’s already taken care of that. (Laughter.)

TRUMP: I know, that’s just – and Anthony will handle that. [aughter.] I can – Anthony can do that out of his back pocket, OK?

BAKER: But we can’t expect any more staff changes in the immediate – in the immediate future?

TRUMP: No, I don’t think so.

BAKER: No?

TRUMP: But I’m very happy with Anthony. I think Anthony is going to do amazing.
