No dinner and drinks in the $24,000?

Beverages included plus a photo with your favorite president.

I’m guessing that means Diet Coke vs. the really good stuff I’d expect.

Liz Truss backs Trump with call for Republican presidential victory
Short-lived PM does not mention frontrunner for nomination by name but says ‘I hope a Republican will be returned in 2024’

Liz Truss, the shortest-serving prime minister in British history, who was memorably shown to have a shorter shelf life than a lettuce, has in effect backed Donald Trump in next year’s US presidential election.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Truss – who spent just 49 days in No 10 Downing Street before being turfed out by her own Conservative party in large part for pitching the UK economy into crisis – said she wished for a Republican president next.

Trump currently enjoys huge leads in polling to become the Republican candidate in next year’s election, notwithstanding the fact that he faces 91 criminal charges, including some for attempting to overturn his 2020 defeat by Joe Biden.

Muslims for Trump? Good grief. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, they may as well self-deport.

I’ve had the same conversations with all my Muslims friends and family members over Thanksgiving. Not a single one says they will vote for Biden again, having voted for him in 2020. Every single one says it’s because of Gaza. Dems need to understand that the anger is very real.

Since I've been back home for Thanksgiving break, I've had in depth conversations with four Arab relatives and family friends. All four have said they won't vote for Biden in 2024. They insist they will abstain, even if it ends up benefitting Trump.

Former President Donald Trump’s renewed focus on repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as Obamacare, has alarmed some Republicans scarred by the GOP’s failure to deliver on promises to dismantle the law and who view the issue as a political loser with the American people.

Many on Trump’s team said they were surprised by the former president’s recent declaration on his social media website Truth Social that replacing Obamacare would be a priority of his administration, as Obamacare had not been a focal issue in ongoing policy conversations and the campaign has not yet drafted any kind of health care policy alternative. One Trump adviser told CNN the post came “completely came out of nowhere,” and said the team “has not been talking to him about health care.”

Some Trump advisers who spoke with CNN also conceded that calling for the termination of a health care law that provides millions of Americans coverage and is largely viewed favorably by the public is a political loser going into 2024. Republicans have tried and failed for years to implement substantial changes to Obamacare and the party has largely abandoned efforts to campaign on the issue.

“The concern that Republicans have always had about Trump is his lack of discipline. The question is, is this really an issue he intends to campaign and formulate a strategy around, or is this just another lapse in discipline?” Spain added.

Health care “was a loser in 2018 and it’s a loser now,” one Trump-aligned Republican operative told CNN, referencing the 2018 midterm elections that ushered in a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.

They have not learned yet that tfg will just say whatever he wants, proving his lack of discipline. tfg doesn't care about republican policy or how anything affects the party. He just cares about number one.

[Rolodex]

Maybe he was accidentally watching Fox reruns and thought ACA was still a talking point.

[MN-Skeptic]

I saw a comment speculating that one reason Trump wants to get rid of the ACA is because it's known as Obamacare and he wants to erase all things relating to Obama. Knowing Trump, I can see that.

[AndyinPA]

I never thought it was about anything else. What does he actually know about healthcare policy? Zip. Nada. Nothing.

I thought it was a great move by Obama and his people. Republicans were calling ACA "Obamacare". Obama accepted the label. Well played.

Wasn't it a priority in his last administration, or at least in his 2016 campaign? He kept promising to "repeal and replace" Obamacare with the bestest, most biggly beautiful health care plan evah. He never even floated any individual ideas about items that he would remove and items he would add.

I remember a political cartoon, back when the ACA was being debated. First panel, asking a voter "What don't you like about Obamacare? The fact that out of pocket expenses are capped? Voter: "No, I like that part". "The fact that your kids can stay on you policy until they are 26?" "No, I like that part". "Well then, exactly which part don't you like?" "The OBAMA part!".

They could dust off the printed copy of the ACA, pass it, unchanged, as "Trumpcare", and the MAGA crowd would believe that TFG had just saved us all from the evil of Obamacare.

I remember watching a video of Obama accepting the mantle with, (something to the effect of) Yes, Obama cares. The Rs knew then and there they'd effed up bigtime.

To Noble, I seem to remember, when the point was brought up that he didn't sign trump care into law the day/week/month he was inaugurated as promised, his response was that he thought congress would have it ready and sitting on his desk.

[New Turtle]

The R's in Congress wouldn't touch it, because they saw while Obamacare was not polling well with their base, ACA turned out to be popular.

This is the thing. He lost in 2020, but he won in 2016, so he's trying to replay his Greatest Hits album.

Trump calls Biden the ‘destroyer’ of democracy despite his own efforts to overturn 2020 election

https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden- ... fe590f41b4

Trump’s allegations about Biden, a Democrat, echo the ones that Biden has been making for years against his predecessor. As Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary and talked about targeting his rivals and the news media if he wins the White House again, Biden has stepped up his own warnings, contending Trump is “ determined to destroy American democracy.”

On Saturday, Trump made his most explicit argument to date on why voters should instead see his rival as the bigger democratic threat. Trump repeated his longstanding contention that the four criminal indictments against him show Biden is misusing the federal justice system against his rival.

“He’s been weaponizing government against his political opponents like a Third World political tyrant,” Trump said to a crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Biden and his radical left allies like to pose as standing up as allies of democracy,” Trump continued, arguing: “Joe Biden is not the defender of American democracy, Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy.”

Ammar Moussa, a Biden campaign spokesman, responded: “Donald Trump’s America in 2025 is one where the government is his personal weapon to lock up his political enemies. You don’t have to take our word for it — Trump has admitted it himself.”

Trump has long promised to prosecute Biden in retaliation should he return to the White House. On Saturday, though, the former president extended his arguments about Biden’s threat to democracy to lawsuits filed by two liberal organizations seeking to rule him ineligible for office under a rarely used Civil War-era constitutional provision that prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from returning to office.

Donald, everyone knows you’re weaker, unsteady and confused all the time now. You even know it too. That’s why you’re constantly talking about how you “aced” your cognitive testing. When you have to tell people you aren't senile all the time, you're senile. #TrumpIsNotWell

[raison de arizona]

Over a hundred pastors and faith leaders in Iowa recently preyed (har-de-har) over tfg recently.

There are a lot of reasons I stepped away from organized religion, and this is one of them.

These people are praying over a man who…

- Stole from a children’s cancer charity

- operated a fraudulent university

- accused of raping a 13-year-old

- paid off a porn star he banged while Melania was pregnant

- bragged about sexually abusing women

- said he can grab women by their pu**y because he’s famous

- lied about seeing Muslims on 9/11

- said he could shoot a man on Fifth Ave and no one would care

- mocks disabled people

- called veterans losers and suckers

- called for Central Park Five execution

- told his supporters to beat up protestors

- supports white nationalist groups

- separated children at the border

- stole $122 million from donors

- failed to provide a healthcare plan

- tried to overthrow the government

That’s who these people are supporting and praying over. There is nothing Christian about these people, they are the real evil in America.

Luckily, prayers haven’t done sh*t to protect our kids from being murdered at school by crazy people with guns, so I think we’re good.
