The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1887 - Politics and Economics

It is a scam. My in-laws bought for my ex. When she turned 18 or 21 the premium went up astronomically for a tiny benefit. Cash value was almost nothing at that point. We stopped paying when they handed it over to us.

Nice catch. I'm sure you are right about trump thinking that's how/why health insurance

Oh my God, really?? He learns healthcare policy from Fox baby food commercials. Unfreakinbelievable.

Also, not related to Gerber at all, but both the Senate and House have just agreed to complete sanctions on Russia this week. If GOP doesn't renege it's just a matter of getting dopey to sign. Let's see how much he wants to push things even further (he will).

As it was before, Russia is together with Iran sanctions. The only difference is Congress is adding North Korea to the list as well. Not sure if that means anything stupid (Trumpish/partisan), or if the NK sanctions are benign.

Quote:

(CNN)The House and Senate reached a deal Saturday to slap Russia with fresh sanctions and give Congress new veto power to block any easing of those sanctions -- an agreement that could send a new bill to President Donald Trump's desk before the end of the month.

House and Senate negotiators announced an agreement was reached Saturday morning for a bill that would include new sanctions against Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
Despite the White House lobbying for changes to the measure, the legislation will give Congress a new ability to block the administration from easing sanctions on Moscow. Democrats and some Republicans have expressed concerns that Trump is considering giving Russia back two compounds in Maryland and New York that were seized by the Obama administration in December.

Why a reach? Didn't you see his comments on health insurance when talking babbling to NYT / Maggie H. the other day?

I hardly watch any cable news besides clips posted on the internet etc

Do CNBC, CNN or Vox etc advertise the lefty equivalent (whatever that is??) of gold commercials, survivalists kits, or baby death insurance like it seems fox, alex jones, breitbart etc seem to be completely funded by

maybe because it's not at all true and he's desperately trying to deflect attention away from his own treasonous actions? hmm maybe

Actually, no. That's Donald Trump's puny brain speaking out loud while he's off the wall paranoid of getting busted. I've seen a lot of his grammar errors but this ain't one of them.

Doesn't matter though. Because if I'm wrong whatever % of the time, it doesn't undo the mountains of evidence already collected by the investigations or the public. I never claimed to be perfect, nor do I need to be for Trump to exist as one of the world's biggest criminals.

I thought it's been pretty clearly established that Trump gets virtually all his news and information from TV. Multiple times has Fox News run a segment on something and then 2 minutes later Trump tweets about it. How would that be any different than a TV commercial for baby insurance?

So if you're on air talent for fox you find a way to mention policy that will directly help you, right? It's the only logical play knowing how much power you have.

Grassley (R), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee really has his panties in a bunch over Sessions and the whole story not being posted. I wonder why? Is he afraid people in his circle might get trapped into admitting **** like Fredo did with the NYT?

Not to mention that DJT's tweet on the same subject and Grassley's both confirm it's not the fake news story Trump called it (in the very next tweet lol).
