It's gonna be fun watching Trump's minions try to spin their massive HC failure on the Sunday news shows tomorrow. I'm assuming they're all just gonna blame the Democrats.

To be fair he also has a couple in New Jersey he can opt to go to as well. So I guess there will always be three options, with the same basic result. I also like how he continues to try and segregate the media away from the course so he can, I guess, try and pull plausible deniability that he's not golfing and that he's "doing work" instead.

He's at his golf course in Virginia
So that's what Spicer meant when he said he left it all out on the field.

Which is similar to what a family of 4 pays in taxes in the US and they get no medical coverage until they're 65. The US government spends more per capita on health care than the Canadian government does.

Why? Do you think the people with crappy coverage and high deductibles have those kinds of plans because they want to? And are you assuming that if you could decline coverage for some tax savings that you could simply get full coverage again when you're older for the same price as it is now?

Another point Frum brought up was that as "obamacare" stayed, Healthcare would begin to be seen as a right, not a consumable. If the GOP continued to beat the repeal drum without "replace" they'd get steamrolled.

So Ryan replaces it with almost the equivalent of merely repealing it and can't understand why it was hated by the moderates. The Freedom Caucus wanted a free market repeal and not replace. Basically, they painted themselves into the corner Frum said they would on this issue

Gonna be fun to see the spin to blame this on immigrants

Quote:
Will robots replace US workers? US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and PwC apparently have different answers.

Nearly 40 percent of US jobs are at risk of being taken over by robots within about 15 years, says a new report by consultancy firm PwC. Yet, US Treasury Secretary disagreed, saying on Friday morning that he was not worried about the mass displacement of US workers by the breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI).

“It’s not even on our radar screen… 50 to 100 more years,” Secretary Mnuchin said at Axios’s New Shapers event. “I’m not worried at all…. In fact I'm optimistic.”

But the PwC report said the opposite, predicting that 38 percent of existing US jobs face the potential threats of automation, followed by 35 percent in Germany, 30 percent in Britain, and 21 percent in Japan.

“A key driver of our industry-level estimates is the fact that manual and routine tasks are more susceptible to automation, while social skills are relatively less automatable,” Jon Andrews, head of technology and investments at PwC, said in a statement. “That said, no industry is entirely immune from future advances in robotics and AI.”

Should be easy to spin since likely the robots that will be replacing them won't be made in the USA either. "I'll build a big EMP field across our borders so that Mexican robots can't just walk in and steal jobs from hardworking American humans, when it should be American robots stealing them instead!"

Joe Biden regrets not running for President.

While I agree that Joe would have been a great candidate, I also wonder if him being in the race from the beginning would have split the establishment vote enough to give Sanders a real shot at winning the nomination.

Remember how just before he won the election, he stated that it was rigged like never before. We all thought that he was assuming that he would lose, but now I wonder if he was being cheeky in a way. Especially with all the Russian interference and him winning. Like he is purposely trolling.

Welcome to the club Joe.
He would have beat Trump worst than Reagan beat Mondale. Mondale won his home state and that was all, Trump may not have won any state against Biden.

In the end the Dems got caught with the fix to make crooked Hillary president.
