Last night's rally: Trump accuses Democrats of wanting to take away pre-existing conditions coverage

[spanone]

Fuck You, don

President Trump accused Democrats of wanting to take away pre-existing conditions coverage, despite the fact that 20 Republican state officials — including Attorney General Josh Hawley, who is running for Senate in Missouri — signed onto a federal lawsuit seeking to strike down former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional.

“Republicans want to protect Medicare for our great seniors who have earned it and they have paid for it,” Trump said. “And we will always protect Americans with pre-existing conditions, we are going to take care of them.”

He added: “Some of the Democrats have been talking about ending pre-existing conditions.”

Trump then suggested the United States could get more money from China to pay for pre-existing conditions.

1. NEEDS a response ASAP.. Stop him in his tracks every time he lies.

Oh. Wait. That is every time he opens his mouth.. Not enough troops to keep up...

[SummerSnow]

2. When he lies to his base and tells them the dems want to do this or that

it is because it is what he is doing, and his base is not smart enough to fact check anything he says and he knows this.



If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it... I heard this quote before

5. Facebook discussion on Kavanaugh

Someone I knew a lot time ago posted a meme about "boofing" and drinking beer. I responded that boofing and Devil's Triangle weren't drinking games.

"How do you know?" Was the response.
"Um it's all over the news and I googled it" I answered.

"Well, google is liberal" he posted. Seriously. You can point out basic obvious facts and they automatically reject it.

3. Of course, accuse your opponents of what you want to do

Then do it. Damn, what a filthy liar.

[Doodley]

4. Trump has lied all his life to get what he wants. The lies now cost lives.

Still, he isn't held to account for his own words.

6. I think our societies are fascistic

So maybe regan/bush reflect the rancid bases...d tromp is a goofy 1/2 wit fantasist- he lie for his breakfast! Yet a nuclear power depends on him ...

[Hortensis]

11. Speak for your society? Mine elected Obama twice and

our first woman president once and eagerly looked forward to continuing their liberal, progressive advances, both already begun and already planned in great, doable detail.

You're right about most of the right, of course. Authoritarianism is rising there, most strongly concentrated in the 24-25% of registered voters still identifying as Republicans and devoted to Der Leader. Authoritarians in and out of the party will obediently "believe" his lie and hiss invective at the Democrats for "taking away" what they will refuse to remember the Democrats created for them.

They're scary.

15. Yes yes yes'm!

Its maybe tiredness at watching shameless boors run rough shod over civil society- and ....they turned the word 'liberal' into evil, they lied openly about Iraq, killing million and they RUINED effective representative government, all this openly, yet goofy dan rawther couldn't. do story abt geeb (bro of jeb) draft dodging, while a buncha media types also draft dodging liars made this mess...a rapist in top court!
It's not right

[Hortensis]

16. Yes, well, I imagine you and I are feeling about

the same right now after Collins' speech that revealed her commitment to corruption.

[still_one]

7. Of course the presss when call out his lies, and while Democrats are pointing this out, the coverage

is sparse at best

[in2herbs]

8. Am I wrong? Doesn't Medicare require accepting pre-existing conditions for seniors? When I applied

this is what I was told and there are no exceptions to any pre-existing condition in my insurance coverage. How does the ACA affect Medicare and seniors???

Dems need to do a better job of messaging and resources like AARP need to do the same.

[hedda_foil]

10. Yes. Medicare covers preexisting conditions.

[marylandblue]

9. Another real article that reads like the Onion.

[JHan]

12. yup, my satire meter is shot to hell these days.

[JHan]

13. Trump voters who still rally behind him are stupid as hell.

[Blue_true]

14. My guess? McCaskill ties Trump's lie around Hawley's throat.

That lie, with Hawley in the arena, was a gift to her. She is a tough campaigner.
