It’s hard to imagine a better quick story summing up the Donald Trump administration than the one that broke Sunday night about a bill the White House was preparing to, as Jonathan Swan at Axios put it, ‘declare America’s abandonment of fundamental World Trade Organization rules’ by giving the president authority to unilaterally break those rules.
“Let’s see …
The policy is nuts; virtually all experts, both in trade and in foreign policy, believe global trade is very good for the U.S. In fact, according to Swan’s reporting, almost everyone in the White House thinks the bill “is unrealistic or unworkable.” Why does it exist, then? Because Trump ordered it, and sometimes the best way to mollify a president is to give him what he wants — very slowly, and without anything actually happening. Apparently this thing has been kicking around for months. The bill has virtually no chance whatsoever of being enacted into law. The draft bill has a title, the United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act, which yields an acronym that had every Twitter wag making fart jokes Sunday night.”

alky, you DO realize that this story is over one week old, right?
Millions will die without health care and the President and his base don't care.
The Trump administration announced Saturday it will temporarily suspend an Obamacare program meant to stabilize markets by halting billion of dollars in payouts to insurance companies.
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services will temporarily suspend so-called “risk-adjustment payments” stemming from 2017 business this fall as well as payments next year that would reflect 2018 business.
The potentially damaging move was made in the wake of a federal judge ruling that the Obama administration's formula for calculating the payments was flawed and inadequately justified by regulators.
Good God this drama queen shit is tiresome. Nobody in the US goes without healthcare. Even illegal aliens don't go without healthcare. Roger really believes if you keep telling a lie long enough it will become true
Good God this drama queen shit is tiresome. Nobody in the US goes without healthcare. Even illegal aliens don't go without healthcare. Roger really believes if you keep telling a lie long enough it will become true
it's easier to see where the alky and his ilk are coming from when you first determine that they really are TOO FUCKING STUPID to know the difference between health insurance and health care.
The program plays a major role in the ACA markets as insurers with healthier consumers enrolled in health-law plans reimburse insurers that have sicker and more expensive enrollees. The aim is to encourage all insurers to participate in the exchanges and sign up a broad consumer base instead of just targeting young, healthy people.
For 2016, risk-adjustment transfers were valued at 11% of total premium dollars in the individual market, according to a CMS report.
New Mexico Health Connections and Minuteman Health of Massachusetts, both small nonprofit insurers, in 2016 filed lawsuits over the program, asserting that the Obama administration created an inaccurate formula that overly rewarded big insurers.
Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge James Browning in New Mexico ruled that the formula used by CMS was flawed. CMS is expected to halt expected payments as a result of that decision, the people familiar with the plans said. In the Massachusetts case, a federal judge upheld the formula, however.
The expected suspension may draw second-guessing from insurers and supporters of the ACA. Timothy S. Jost, an emeritus professor at Washington and Lee University, said it appeared that federal officials might still have other legal options before suspending payments. Mr. Jost said federal regulators could issue a rule formally offering a justification for the risk-adjustment methodology’s use in past years, then ask the judge to consider that.
The impact of the risk-adjustment program on individual insurers varies widely. Some pay into it and don’t get money back, so a suspension wouldn’t likely be a financial challenge.
But it could be a financial blow to those insurers that are expecting payments this fall based on 2017 plans, and potentially for those that expected payments in the fall of 2019 based on their 2018 business. It would rattle those insurers if a suspension occurs, said Larry Levitt, a senior vice president at Kaiser Family Foundation.
For insurers expecting payments, abruptly suspending them “would be a big hit to their financial position,” said Deep Banerjee, an analyst with S&P Global Ratings. Estimates of the next round of payouts had already been entered in many insurers’ books as receivables because they are related to 2017 business, he said.
It isn’t clear if a suspension of the risk-adjustment payments could lead some insurers to seek higher rates for next year’s plans. Mr. Banerjee said some insurers might seek to “reprice for the coming year” if it is clear they wouldn’t be getting the expected money based on prior years’ business.
Only the rich can say they never missed 100K for a hooker....Sad and you holy rollers keep slurping away!!!! Imagine the crisis if bill had done the same thing....you all would be turning red and demanding him to resign....Please, don't deny it..
Funny rat....that is what you guys were saying when the ACA came into being because resources would be stretched and health care would be rationed like England and canada....
The only thing you predicted was rates would increase!!! Wow even a moron like you got that correct! LOLOL......the only reason for failure will lack of temerity to support it ....Couldn't kill it outright and now you predict what, its ultimate demise? Wow, another chance to prove you know Jack Shit....Idiot...And people will continue to be uncovered....why should you give a shit? You are a republicon who don't care because they don't deserve to live....Nice....idiot
Correct as always. "caliphate4vrJuly 8, 2018 at 10:21 AM Face it liver and fatty, Bumblecare is exactly what I predicted, a very expensive high risk pool. Which BTW were already in place in 30+ states
Medical care is not insurance. Insurance under the ACA used to provides medical care for patients with preexisting conditions. Trump has promised us to have health insurance coverage for less than under Obamacare. You all believed that, but obviously he hasn't produced anything that he promised except the tax cuts that are going to lead us into the largest deficit as a percentage of the GDA. Republicans used to worry about the deficit when Obama was in office. But again Scott the FBI and department of justice didn't conspire to get Trump.
Your party is no longer the Republican party its the Trump Party. His campaign appearances put the lie detectors into overdrive.
HB does CDC know that 1 million Americans have Died?
Or are they any About to Die? To believe Roger and Dennis, the US will see a nearly 33 % increase in Deaths.
FastStats - Deaths and Mortality - CDC https://www.cdc.gov › nchs › fastats › de... May 3, 2017 · Number of deaths: 2,712,630. Death rate: 844.0 deaths per 100,000 population. Life expectancy: 78.8 years. "
Oh Roger, really. The Lost Years had the Deficit go from $10 Trillion to $23 Trillion. Please do not attempt to preach to any Trump supporter on this issue. I know that Pres. Trump in 8 years will not add 13 Trillion to the National Debt.
NATO is being weakened from within by Mr.Trump who prefers Vladimir Putin.
This is a dangerous strategy. Russia still has territorial ambitions. Most of the nations of the former Soviet Union. If Mr. Trump goes on the path towards associating with the Russians, many of the former Soviet Union members are likely to face disputes or intervening in their elections. NATO has given many nations the support of democratic governments. Trump has been ignoring this issue or is completely ignorant about the situation.
If you take the first six months of the Obama presidency deficit off your $13 you go down about half of the $13 Trillion Trump will you have a total debt increase of about $7.1 trillion over the next 8 years.
The biggest problem is that the deficit will be the highest percentage of the GDP in history.
Late Sunday Not So Funny. According to U.S. officials, former national security adviser H.R. McMaster complained, “The president thinks he can be friends with Putin.” The report goes on to note this:
Some White House officials worry that Putin, who has held several calls with Trump, plays on the president’s inexperience and lack of detailed knowledge about issues while stoking Trump’s grievances.
The Russian president complains to Trump about “fake news” and laments that the U.S. foreign policy establishment — the “deep state,” in Putin’s words — is conspiring against them, the first senior U.S. official said. …
With Putin, Trump takes a more conciliatory approach, often treating the Russian leader as a confidant.
“So what do you think I should do about North Korea?” he asked Putin in their November 2017 telephone call, according to U.S. officials. Some of those officials saw the request for advice as naive — a sign that Trump believes the two countries are partners in the effort to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
He's been showing us a complete lack of education on the history on the Russians intervened into elections around the world where they want influence and control back again.
"If you take the first six months of the Obama presidency deficit off your $13 you go down about half of the $13 Trillion Trump will you have a total debt increase of about $7.1 trillion over the next 8 year."
Roger, interested in where or how you alone came to believe this: If you take the first six months of the Obama presidency deficit off your $13 you go down about half of the $13 Trillion"
Fuck trump and the horses asses who voted for him.....
Donald Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods won’t touch Ivanka Trump’s foreign-made products for her fashion line.
While Trump rails at Harley-Davidson motorcycles for moving some production to Europe to dodge EU tariffs, the first daughter and senior White House adviser has never manufactured a single product for her Ivanka Trump brand on American soil.
Trump enacted tariffs Friday morning on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, affecting hundreds of products from boats to medical devices and auto parts. Products spared include those manufactured by his daughter.
That means Chengdu Kameido Shoes in Sichuan province can continue to supply shoes for the Ivanka Trump brand as it has in the past. It’s currently bidding for a new contract to manufacture 140,000 pairs of shoes for Trump’s company, a spokesman told The South China Morning Post.
Hangzhou HS Fashion in Zhejiang province also said it’s filling orders for orders for the G-III Apparel Group, which supplies shoes to Trump’s brand.
And the little bitch gets richer while you got A ten buck tax break....be proud!!!! Also a record week for trump lies....but you all called obama a pathological liar and slurp up the jism of the donnie.....sad...
Trump made an astonishing 103 false claims over those seven days, an average of 15 per day. That shatters his one-week record of 60, which he had set in early March.
Trump is incessantly inaccurate, but that number is still remarkable. To put it in perspective: he uttered fewer than 100 false claims in eight of his first ten months in office. His previous average had been 101 per month.

If you’re searching for an explanation, part of it is probably just that Trump talked a lot. He had a campaign rally and roundtable in Minnesota, a speech to Republicans and a roundtable in Nevada, a speech to the National Federation of Independent Businesses, an event on illegal immigration, a Cabinet meeting, a meeting with members of Congress, and a softball “interview” with political ally Mike Huckabee.
Trump is now up to 1,829 false claims for the first 521 days of his presidency, an average of 3.5 per day.
Collapsing polar ice caps, a green Sahara Desert, a 20-foot sea-level rise.
That's the potential future of Earth, a new study suggests, noting that global warming could be twice as warm as current climate models predict.
The rate of warming is also remarkable: “The changes we see today are much faster than anything encountered in Earth’s history. In terms of rate of change, we are in uncharted waters,” said study co-author Katrin Meissner of the University of New South Wales in Australia.
This could mean the landmark Paris Climate Agreement – which seeks to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels – may not be enough to ward off catastrophe.
“Even with just 2 degrees of warming – and potentially just 1.5 degrees – significant impacts on the Earth system are profound,” said study co-author Alan Mix, a scientist from Oregon State University.
“We can expect that sea-level rise could become unstoppable for millennia, impacting much of the world’s population, infrastructure and economic activity,” Mix said.
