Only himself and his mega wealthy friends. If you are still falling for his blatant lies, you are severely uneducated and uniformed.

The Democrat bill has a provision specifically eliminating the provision from the Trump budget that removes illegals. This has nothing to do with expiring of the temporary additional ACA subsidies.

You mean to tell me our amazing GOP and Dem politicians would try to pull the wool over our eyes? Now why would these honorable people of such high integrity do such a thing?

Exactly. GOP and Dem politicians only lie if their mouths are open.

Conservatives just lie. Nothing uttered out of their mouths is truthful anymore.

When you have people like Trump, Schumer, Jeffries, and Johnson in powerful leadership positions, you're screwed. We need to vote these clowns out.

Well Republicans are in control of everything- house, congress, presidency and courts. Why are the republicans not to blame? This is like saying the voters in the US are not responsible for Trump,

The American electorate is absolutely responsible for the garbage leadership we've had since Obama left office. Each and everyone of us needs to stop the finger pointing, take a long look in the mirror, and promise to take our voting privileges more seriously going forward.

There's zero correlation between what voters want and what our representatives actually make happen. Study after study shows this. The correlation exists only for donors. Our government has not belonged to We the People for a long time.

Voting didn't cause this, money in our politics caused this. Capitalism and the ruthless pursuit of profits caused this. And it won't get better until we as a society decide 1) that there are things more important than money, and 2) that the money hungry sociopaths currently running our society must be stopped. Until we can all agree on those 2 points, things will continue to spiral downward.

The MAJORITY of the problems in American politics are due to Citizens United in which the Republican Justices on the Supreme Court tilted political influence toward wealthy donors and corporations by enabling corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited money on elections.

Then as more Republicans gained office through support from this dark money, those Republicans working to deregulate every protection the American populace had against the influence of the wealthiest individuals and corporations. For instance, a Republican-lead FCC relaxed Media Ownership rules which helped the richest Americans further spread their influence by broadcasting propaganda and lies to convince the uneducated and disaffected to Vote against their own financial interest.

Thats where it all started - the Supreme Court. And that’s the government body which today continues to cause the most damage by refusing to uphold the Constitution, precedent, and the rule of law.

Hear, hear!!!

Now that we've acknowledged and identified the problem, how do we get rid of the two corrupt PRIVATE entities controlling our Federal Government or force them into reform? Easy problem to identify. Difficult problem to solve.

The same thing happened with Obamacare. For years the GOP leadership tried to get rid of them, and painted them as completely evil in their Fox news screeds... only to find out that most of their based wanted to keep the ACA! Sometimes no amount of propaganda will persuade voters to vote against their own interests.

Voters who aren't ultra wealthy political mega-donors are voting against their own interests every time they vote for a GOP or Dem politician. This truth hurts but we shouldn't ignore it.

The problem for MAGA is that it is SO EASY to fact check what Dems are asking for. Yet they sit there, mouth breathing, in front of Fox News not realizing that MAGA will also be affected by health care cost hikes. Are you waiting for Trump’s MedBeds or what?

Pretty sure even MAGA knows by now that our Federal Government is screwed as long as the corrupt GOP and Dem Parties are in control.
