Do you think it's strange or normal to feel more empathy/loyalty to outsiders than you do to them? What kind of parents prefer others' kids to their own? What kind of citizens prefer strangers to their own fellow citizens? Something about normalcy and loyalty and love is missing there. Normally we prefer"us" to "them" though hopefully we like "them" and engage well with "them". Abnormally preferring "them" to "us" could be considered treasonous/traitorous. Of course as with all things IT DEPENDS. Right? less

Maybe they can also make it so that his kids take over at his demise. And their kids. And their kids. Keep it all in the family. So we will be blessed with Trumps forever after. His supporters would love it fer shure fer shure fer shure. The rest of us and the world would be screwed but we already were November 2016 so we're used to it. I wonder how many Americans would flee the country? Soon the country will be renamed Trumpland. Oh my. less

He continually tries to change the past. Is rigidly and jealously guarding the present and would like nothing better than to be president forever. How close to that can he come? Legally or illegally? Anyone know?

Don't cost anyone any money. Keep quiet. It will weed out the weak. Let their loved ones mourn. No one else cares. Who has the time and who wants to be a bleeding heart, softy,caring? Let Trump do a one-time forever rescinding of such laws and also put on the books that no such laws will ever again be entertained, let alone passed! I mean Presidents can do that right? Control the future, change the past and petrify the present? less

All are essential/critical/crucial/necessary/logical/thoughtful/presidentially conceived to run a safe, secure, protected government. Nothing to see here folks. Nothing out of line. All is well. Move along. Seriously?

For a reason of course. Trump seems to be a Rusky lover too or at least a Putin lover which is the same thing. So they have the framework in place and rebuilders all set to go on staff. Isn't that comforting?

Think they'll get it or is that something else the White House will ignore hoping it will just go away? Will Trump TWITTERBASH them? Is an investigation warranted or un? If you were his parents what would you want/do?

What do YOU think will be the result? Well undoing all those costly regulations of course! DUH! As people die they can die happy knowing that they leave behind a healthy economy for others to enjoy until they die from polluted water. The circle of life in America.

Why ask, or respect if they are consenting adults? Why respect their wishes for staying a part of this community, without blocking their private chat feature? It's only online, right? All that maters is their pleasure, and not if it's disturbing for that someone who happened to be online as the urge raised (no pun intended)? Why even consider if a lesbian is interested in seeing a d*ck? It's just another chick, right?This was a first. I had almost forgotten all about that species, the Neanderthal man existed. I met plenty of them at EP, and ended up blocking all strangers any access in communication with my profile. I truly hope this is just this one, and not a wave of creeps coming our way. Such a disgusting message. Sorry. Rant is over. less

He didn't mention either when he said it is so complicated. I wonder how his plan (when is the roll out of the details?) will compare to the AHCA and also how many people will be thrilled and how many will be furious? I suppose we cannot know that in advance of the evidence can we? We can't conclude in advance of its release. So we shall have to wait until it's too late to do anything. No matter. If it is gonna be better and cheaper why would anyone complain? Right? "No one knew that health care could be so complicated". Now we sure do. Who knew? No one. less

That is what some folks say is the benefit of wars. People die. There are fewer of them. Weeds out the population. Survival of the fittest. It does seem rather cold to me but perhaps possibly it is meant to be. Wars and dying from disease due to lack of health care. Positive tools to keep the population in check since people insist on breeding and keep adding other people to the planet. It gives one something to think about. less

That's all ya gotta engage in. Don't kids get short-changed? What can be done to give them a break?
