It's no longer Obamacare.

Second of all, more details needed on that $600 premium. Is that after subsidy? Is that for the two of them or including the children? $600 as compared to what? What insurance did they have previously? What did that cost. Did they have Obamacare previously? Again, what was that premium? At $11/hour, they would qualify for a subsidy. Even at double that, they would probably qualify for a subsidy, even if not for the full cost of the insurance.

Do some fucking reporting! Ask real questions. I stopped watching after that bit. These people are blind. They voted for the buffoon-in-chief, they have to live with it, as much as the rest of us.

Trump hires people like the mason in the CNN clip and then doesn't pay them

Coal is not coming back

If Beattyville, KY doesn't have the needed jobs move

Trump, Fox, Rush, republicans, and your Pastors have been and are still lying to you.

BTW the total # of guns that President Obama took from Americans is zero

Global warming is real

Trump is a con man who is owned by Russia.

Jesus never talked about "the gays" or abortion

2. As I've also said repeatedly, fuck the white working class. Fuck them. When their needs cross with those of the non-white working class voters you're courting, then great. And you know what? Most of those needs do cross because they are class-based. They need health care, poverty programs, jobs programs, decent education. Democrats keep wanting to pretend that racist fucknuts can be appealed to based on class. It's a comforting lie that is proven to be bullshit time and again. Roy Moore got 68% of the white vote, and that motherfucker was a wretched candidate before it was revealed he finger-fucked a 14 year-old. This country doesn't belong exclusively to white people anymore. The Republicans are fighting a desperate battle to try to maintain that white dominance. They will lose.

So no more fucking speeches about how we "understand" the pain of the white working class. It's up to the the white working class to fucking get that Democrats are the only ones who give a shit about their pain and economic hardship. And no more fucking articles about dumb fucks who are clinging to Donald Trump. They are dumb fucks. Let them drown in their stupidity for a few minutes before we throw them the life preserver.

And continue to vote for politicians like Bevin, O’Connell, and Rand who are screwing them over.
