Our very own "Dear Leader", Trump, fresh off illegally firing Tomahawk missiles into Syria killing six children and the Mother of All Bombs into Afghanistan, is "thinking about" sticking it to American peasants to make the Democrats negotiate away our health care. These bastards.

"In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Trump said he was thinking about overhauling the Affordable Care Act by withholding subsidy payments to insurers to entice Democrats to negotiate.

Under current law, the federal government repays some money to insurance companies for covering people with very low income. President Trump said he was still considering what to do about those payments. Bob Atlas, president of healthcare consultancy EBG Advisors, said legally speaking, Trump can do that.

“It’s very legal," he said. "The question is whether it’s moral to hold these people’s payments hostage. Trump said he doesn’t want people to get hurt, but he thinks this threat will lead to negotiation.”

Really? There's a question? Exactly to whom does such a question occur to?

That, fellow peasants, is an act of war against the American people, akin to placing sanctions on those with lower incomes, like my 68 year old sister living on $1200 monthly social security payments, to force the democrats to deal. It's like Trump placing a gun to our heads and telling the democrats, don't shoot or they die". It's completely gutless and sick. It's typical of our government to place sanctions on other countries to make their peasants suffer so they will rise up and force their leader to action or help our government topple their government. In this case, Trump is thinking about making the American people suffer as a way to make the democrats come to his table.

That's fucking despicable. But then, so is illegally dropping 60 Tomahawk missiles into Syria killing six children and dropping an obscene military industrial complex orgasm into Afghanistan to show how serious he is. He's willing to kill. He's an American Born Killer.

"Jonathan Gruber, professor of economics at MIT and one of the Obamacare architects, said he doesn’t think Democrats will take the bait.

“Basically they’re going to say, 'look, you’re the party in power, not just the presidency but all of Congress. If the exchanges blow up, especially through an action like this, it’s on you, buddy,'” he said."

Oh hell ya, the democrats will hold out, let the peasants suffer, because "it ain't our fault, it's Trump's".

Our political "representatives" are prepared to play hardball with each other using American lives, just as they do with the rest of the world with their bombs.

How low can they go? Or maybe better yet, how low will we let them go?
