That's called BDKnitpicking. It's in the MAQA yahoo playbook. If they can't refute a point/argument they nitpick at irrelevant details in an attempt to distract.

Speaking of not aging well - we’re 330+ days into the regime and trump and his circle of cronies are still blaming biden after promising to fix things on DAY 1.

I don't benefit from the subsidies so their expiration doesn't impact my premiums. My premiums went up approximately 50% all because of Pedotrump and MAQA Republicans.

I mistyped, my premiums are going up 50% in 2026. Increases were marginal in previous years.
trump has talked about replacing the ACA since 2016 (concepts of a plan) and he has yet to present anything of substance. He's all hat, no cattle.

This isn't on Trump, this is on the Uniparty. They e had how many years to come to common ground on immigration, gun control and healthcare.
If anyone is to blame, it's Obama and him creating ACA as a sop to the medical/insurance industry.
Remember how Ted Stevens was accused of illegal kickbacks, got removed, then the Dems had their 60 votes only to have Stevens be not guilty. That is the establishment for you. It was operating long before Trump.

Re: Trumpflation and shortage thread
Trump had four years but he also had to deal with people like McCain and the other twats McConnell controlled. You ever wonder why there is always someone who crosses the aisle? It's because of money. McConnell always had more control when Reps were the minority. I can only imagine the concessions he got from his Uniparty buds on the Dem side.UNI88 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 27, 2025 6:09 pmHe had 4 years to fix it.

What did Biden do? He said he'd been in Congress for 40+ years and was the man to fix everything.
In regards to the bolded, that is precisely why I support Trump. He isn't close to perfect, but he is outside the Uniparty.
