I see no reason it won't. There was never any provision to recoup losses that the insurance industry would face with the ACA. The government never outlined any sensible funding for it, and we all know the insurance companies weren't going to just eat it. I expect costs to rise, and care to get worse.

....what? lmao


Trump: I ‘always felt that I was in the military’ at military school

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump reportedly told the author of a forthcoming biography that while he never served in the military, he “always felt” that he had because he attended a military-themed prep school that gave him “more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military.”

According to the New York Times, which received an advance copy of Michael D’Antonio’s “Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success,” the real estate mogul feels his experience at New York Military Academy, a boarding school in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., to being in the military, in part because he wore a uniform and participated in marching drills, and because some of his instructors had served in the military.

Trump, whose parents sent him to the school to curb their son’s chronic bad behavior, graduated from the academy in 1964. Trump then attended Fordham University before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance, where in 1968 he received a medical deferment for the Vietnam draft due to “bone spurs on both heels of his feet,” according to his campaign. “The medical deferment was expected to be short-term and he was therefore entered in the military draft lottery where he received an extremely high number, 356 out of 365,” it says.

“My number was so incredible and it was a very high draft number,” Trump told D’Antonio, according to the Times. “Anyway so I never had to do that, but I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people.”

It’s not the first time Trump’s feelings about military experience have been called into question during his three-month-old presidential campaign.

In July, the former “Celebrity Apprentice” star suggested Arizona Sen. John McCain, who spent five and a half years in a North Vietnamese prison, is only considered a war hero because he was captured.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said during a campaign event in Ames, Iowa. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Last month during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” the current leader in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination was asked by Chuck Todd where he gets his military advice.

“I watch the shows,” Trump said. “I mean, I really see a lot of great — you know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows, and you have the generals and you have certain people that you like.”

And last week, Trump appeared to stumble on several foreign policy questions during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, who asked the real estate mogul for his thoughts about some high-profile terror leaders, including Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

“Those are like history questions: ‘Do you know this one? Do you know that one?’” Trump fired back. “I will be so good at the military, your head will spin.”

"I will be so good at the military."

If Trump said it, it must be true!
I hear he was a HERO of the Military Academy, no one was killed
under his watch!

Personally, I thank him for his service.

Well they are not known for their smarts there Swish; Man child's say the darndest things.

NOT GOING ANYWHERE? Assad gets Russian reinforcements in civil war

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S HOPES to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad and make way for a democratic government in Damascus are being dashed once again by evidence that Russia is joining the fight to keep him in power — a move the State Department warns could 'further escalate the conflict.'



We need a leader.

Why Obama still calls Yemen a success

White House: U.S. has 'succeeded' in Yemen, as President Hadi flees country


The Obama White House insists Yemen is a successful model for its counterterrorism strategy, even as international military operations escalated there overnight and President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was forced into hiding.

It's a counterintuitive claim that puzzles national security experts and enrages Republicans.

In a testy exchange with an ABC reporter Wednesday, Obama Press Secretary Josh Earnest insisted that the United States continues to "enjoy the benefits of a sustained counterterrorism security relationship with the security infrastructure that remains in Yemen." President Obama has argued in the past that Yemen is a model for his small-footprint strategy.

Please, we need a leader who has a clue.

Iran's supreme leader: There will be no such thing as Israel in 25 years

This is the answer to your question swish as to why no one tells the Jews to get over the holocaust.

and it's a dumb ass reason.

NK says the same thing to SK all the time....they're still there.

and once again, if we can't tell the jews to get over the holocaust because of crap like this? then stop telling black people to get over slavery, jim crow, civil rights era stuff. cause it's still relevant, by YOUR logic.

Swish you also have your answer to not wanting boots on the
ground in the Middle East and not being the worlds Police...

Sit back and relax now, The Russians will do it! They are currently landing Transport after Transport of tanks and
soldiers in Syria as we speak. Come to fill the vacuum we
left for them to fill. They will kill ISIS now.

ok.

so you and everybody else on this board. go online, buy some gear, and go handle the problem yourself.

as a matter of fact, if you have sons and daughters, strap them up too and send them over there,

personally go over there, and walk the walk.

Don't have to. The Ruskies are handling the leadership thingy for us.

nah, you wanna protect israel so bad.

go do it yourself. personally make sure those guys are safe.

Make no mistake, I do my part for Israel every year.

But not a penny for those who danced in the streets, burning our flag as our buildings fell on 9/11

nah bro. physically go over there and stand guard.

Not a chance man, I got nothing against the Russians.

They will be our best friends when you libs elect a Socialist
for President.
United States Socialist Republic

Sounds like Hillary is all for protecting Israel as well.

You can't outwit the witless Swish.

He talks a big game until it's time to take action. Sits around thumping his chest and beating war drums like it's music for a conga line; but no way him or his will be there when the real fighting is going down.

That's left for the children of the takers to handle, that way there are less takers because he's not a taker... then if you do start to make sense to him you get childish "nah nah neh nah nah, I can't hear you! Look it's something stupid but I did it so it's brilliant so let's change the subject" from him. United States Socialist Republic...

Send him a helmet and some tin foil if you feel for him and move on.

Let them have at it. They will see what a costly mess it is to get boots on the ground in the Middle East, where there is never a clear winner.

Quite honestly, we have adversaries from all different angles going against each other in Syria. Have at it.

From what I can make sense of from your post, let me first say that Swish can talk any game he wants because he has already risked and sacrificed everything for our Nation and I respect that! I often don't agree with him on many subjects but I have never seen him as witless! In a pinch, I would have his back.

40:

Old Cold missed a comma. Allow me to clear this up:





Reads very differently with the addition of punctuation, don't you think? It's kinda like this on- one of my favorites:

"It's time to eat Grandma."
"It's time to eat, Grandma."

yup. Punctuation be an important thang, yo....

just sayin'


p.s. Quite clever, son... but I couldn't let you get away with this one

Oh ok then. Thanks Yod...err Clem.

Swish, never mind then. You were born wrong, lived wrong and are still WRONG! (still meant what I said tho, don't tell anyone)

eh, probably.

and besides, being deployed, i realized something:

The U.S. Government is the biggest drug dealer/trafficker in the world.

Where do they rank as weapons dealers?

They'll have an easier time of it, as they don't try to kill only the bad guys.

When ISIS comes calling with innocent people as their human shields like all these cowardly groups fight, like Al Qaeda, Hamas and the PLO before them, the Russians will teach them that tactic doesn't work anymore.

probably #1

Then we also have the cocaine dealer aspect to consider.

doesn't that fall under drug dealer?

anyways, yea man definitely. the info is out there, just incase people don't wanna believe me.

soldiers on detail guarding opium fields. y'all wanna know the recent rise in heroin use in this country? look no further than the U.S. Government.

and it all started with the war on drugs. i'm telling you.

Since cocaine is a drug I believe that would be correct.

Sorry, I missed your earlier reference.

Which would beg the question, why would the government want to condone or even expand drug use?

And the answer to that isn't all that hard to figure out.

money. except they'd make, and are making way more money if it stays illegal.

thats why politicians want the war on drugs to continue, cause too many people are benefiting from it.

So the government in the war on drugs is like Charlie Sheen.

They're Winning!

Thank for clearing that up Clem... I would never call Swish witless.

Less time on the bottle and more time on the keyboard will work for you.
