True, it's my opinion you are, vs your opinion you aren't.

So we can agree, that it is a fact...that it's your opinion. :1rotfl:

Nope, just because you said it doesn't make it a fact...just YOUR opinion.

A lot of the damage to our democracy was done in the last eight years, and not by Obama. The Republicans opposed everything he wanted done. Obamacare is modeled after Republican plans for healthcare. Not only did they oppose it, they want to go back to healthcare that wasn't working for everybody. The amount health insurance carriers charged went up every year prior to ACA. Why would anyone want to go back to that?.

Talk about deranged...how did Obammacare pass if the Republicans opposed it? That's right the dems had a majority...that puts the blame squarely on Obamma and his party.

I can tell you my healthcare insurance went up very little in the years prior to Obammacare...
It went from $750 a month to $1350 a month in the last 3 years. Never, ever, had it gone up like that prior. I am 53, healthy, no medications...obviously I am one of the guys subsidizing some lazy fvcker that can afford cigarettes and McDonalds, but not healthcare. Maybe you are one of those?

Yep.

It's a fact...that it's your opinion. :D

I'm not the one pushing the incorrect idea, that just because I (or anyone else) says it...it makes it a fact. :ohdear:

You are. :oops:

Deepest Sincere Wishes: :wave:

Gessshhhh how hard can it be to just check Snopes before people pop off about Obama? Then they crawl back into their hole which was dug by Alex Jones.

Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Trump....they believe in making it acceptable to lie, and keep attacking those who allow us any truth.

The link below is from a few months ago where our President says...it's ok for him to lie because people agree with him.

Donald Trump says it’s okay for him to lie since “people agree with me.” | New Republic

He has lied so much and so often, it is becoming acceptable for the President and his followers just to lie, and call truth "fake". If history serves me, this happened before.

How can lying become so acceptable ?

I did 2 jobs for HUD 2 years ago, a new 6 story and a remodel of 10 story building. Talk about wasted money!

The main entrances were $60K each and there were 2 on each building. The hardware specified was not chosen for value, if it was the most expensive that is what they spec'd. Even the industry standard 9" pull was not good enough for these people, they spec'd a 10" pull. The doors had $3700 closers (banks and schools use a $350 closer). The vinyl flooring was 3/8" thick (schools use 3/16" thick). They had outdoor patios on 2 of the upper floors (nice views!), all dolled up with gliders and conversation pits ...it was more like an expensive retirement condo building than a HUD building to house "residents" in free apartments.

The 6 story building has a 60' x 30' canopy that cost $300K over the main entrance, that way residents (and guests of residents) could be dropped off at the expensive entrance door when it is raining, and they would be more comfortable arriving to their free apartments. Only the person that parked their piece of $hit leaking oil car would have to get wet.

The whole time we worked on the buildings, no matter what time of day it was, there was a stream of "residents" in their pajamas heading to or from the "smoke shack". These are federal buildings, they are not supposed to smoke inside of them, so they build a shelter in the parking lot for the "residents" to smoke in. At 2pm, they are still in their pajamas (its not like they had to get up early and go to work)...but I am sure they are proud of the entrance doors that lead to their free apartment!

It took them over a year to get the contractors on the project paid. There was no outstanding items on the punchlist, the payouts were just dragged out and waiting for the funding.

This new person with business experience, sounds like a move in the right direction. The current management is extremely wasteful.

:beer3: very well put!

Snopes is hardly a bastion of accuracy.

Trump has appointed Eric's wedding planner to run Department of Housing and urban development ,HUD. She has an undergrad degree in literature and psychology.

It is my understanding that there are no qualities this woman possesses to hold this position. Trump are you actually nuts or what !!!

You guys crack me up. And I use that guy's term loosely!

Trump is a billionaire, and he is a successful businessman, but you fools don't value his opinion on anything..
so you just non-stop whine about every decision he makes. Lol
