Donald Trump appears poised to announce a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, due to expire at the end of December, while setting new limits on who is eligible to receive the tax credits, according to reports.

Without an extension of Covid-19-era Obamacare subsidies, insurance premiums for nearly 22 million American citizens threaten to more than double early next year, a point made repeatedly by Democrats during the recent 43-day government shutdown, who refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that did not address the problem.

        Well, umm . . people jump at the chance to blame the Democrats for ending the shutdown, but they show a real lack of understanding about political communications and policy statements, especially when fuck you, cuntface.

          You blamed the Democrats dipshit, not me. I’ve agreed it takes two, you straight up said it was the Dems fault.

          Hedge away instead of saying you were wrong.

                tsk tsk! You do yourself a disservice by denigrating the level of wisdom you have thus imparted!

                Also feel free to shut the fuck up.

                  Enlightening is something you do yourself elucidation is education given to you. I didn’t enlighten you, that’s on you, I provided elucidation what you do from there could be enlightenment but given this conversation it clearly wasn’t.

                    And here I was wondering if it was even humanly possible to be a bigger ass! I shouldn’t have. But then you might just be an assbot.

                    Either way, congratulations.
