So looks like Trump’s campaign strategy is... to try to convince the Supreme Court to revoke Obamacare


slate.com

The Supreme Court Will Consider Destroying Obamacare. That’s a Gift to Democrats.

Trump will spend the months before Election Day asking SCOTUS to strip health insurance from millions.
slate.com slate.com


On Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Texas v. California, a sweeping challenge to the Affordable Care Act that seeks to obliterate the law in its entirety. Legal assaults on the ACA are not typically good news for Democrats. But here, the political ramifications could not be worse for Donald Trump. His administration will spend the run-up to Election Day asking SCOTUS to strip health insurance from more than 20 million people, quite possibly in the midst of a pandemic.

He's a bit slow on the uptake - Democratic establishment has a visceral hatred of him (look how few endorsements he has from Congressman / Governors / Senators) and won't let him win. He should run as an independent. Bloomberg just needs to drop out and get it done.

*snigger*.

Yeah, Trump has been calling it.
The dems have been ordered to nuke Comrade Bernie the pervert and go with Biden.

Hopefully Biden can remember what he’s running for and for what year.

Obama will soon make his announcement as well. I’m guessing...

Perhaps publicly after Illinois votes...but we all know Obama is an establishment man, so yes he's voting for Biden and probably doing a lot of behind-the-scenes organising. I think it is considered rather rude for a former President to try and influence the contest. They usually stay out of it.

He apparently told Bernie he would campaign for him if he got the nomination. He wouldn't intervene to put his hand on the scale at this point. Although in a sense it helps Bernie that he hasn't endorsed his own former VP.

Why don't you have a look at what the WAPO counts as a lie?

That isn't a lie.

And if you want to do things property, you need a denominator as well. How many lies he makes out of the statements that he makes that you would test for lies? Trump does talk a lot, so you would need a denominator for the statements you would actually test for claims if you wanted to be honest about this.

More seasoned politicians are more careful about what they say, so they will talk for 2 hours without claiming anything by uttering platitudes.

lol, that absolutely is a lie.

That the right wing would be taken over by liars and fake news peddlers (like propagating fake quotes for example)? Totally.

Anecdote:
Spoke to my BIL the other day, he's doing better than he ever has.
In fact every Vet he's dealt with since The Orange Don was voted in, claims the same thing.
Shlt...I'll call him later tonight and tell him he's talking kaka.

He's a senior tech at one of the VA Medical Centers...he deals with many of them on a daily basis.
Fck, I can't believe he's been lying to me.

Thanks for the heads-up, bro. ( <- jokes! :p )

Yeah, this is one of those lies that Trump has been repeating ad nauseam for a long time. He wants to take credit for something Bernie Sanders, John McCain and Obama did.

It feels like it should be a bigger story that the world's most powerful man is nuts.

Republican politicians on the SCOTUS willing to help their buddy out by not ruling on the politically unpopular case until after the election.

Part of a wider pattern of them helping Trump.

Funny how they love him for it, but start crying when people say it "like it is" about Trump.

Eh, I feel this angle gets overdone a bit.

Other candidates than him getting support isn't the 'elites' rigging anything. Same as it wasn't 'rigged' in 2016.

And he isn't actually a Democrat (proudly), so bit odd to complain that the party won't use its infrastructure to support you when you claim to disdain them.
