It's been moving fast since 2017. (but yes there are 2016 Tweets talking about it as well).
Trump tweet from Feb 17, 2017: "Despite the long delays by the Democrats in finally approving Dr. Tom Price, the repeal and replacement of Obamacare is moving fast!"

Huh. You seem to be right 😂. I compiled some screenshots based on:
kffhealthnews.org/news/back-to...
Multiple Twitter/X screenshots of Trump making promises of replacing Obamacare over the years from 2016 to 2019. It's always "soon".

Not wrong.
Multiple analyses suggest Donald Trump's vocabulary level is equivalent to that of a fourth-grade reading level, based on factors like sentence length and word complexity. Studies have found his speech to be simpler and more repetitive than that of other politicians, often using short sentences and common words. This is attributed to his preference for oral communication, a tendency to use simpler language, and repeated use of words and phrases.

Even MAGA agrees 50yr mortgages are stupid and are making meme's about it.
Meme with three pictures. Top is Trump with someone and says "Are you going to lower the national debt" "Best we can do is 50yr mortgages" Lower is a picture with Trump talking to Obama "and then we gave them 50-year mortgages....and they thanked us by making housing affordable"

Seems quite relevant these days.
The law is not a moral compass. The people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following it.

I was just perusing old people Facebook and came across this little gem, if you want to see how the far right of the party is talking these days.
The Dems are currently engaged in a nationwide insurrection. It’s a continuation of the treasonous plot to remove Trump. It’s one giant 10+ year regime-change operation. They cannot be negotiated with. We are at war. There is no asking nicely anymore. All the lines have been crossed. They are not concerned with the interests of the American People. They are only concerned with maintaining their power, which means protecting their illegal voters and ensuring there are no voter-ID laws. There will not be any coexistence. The Democrat Party will cease to exist when all is said and done. The crimes they have committed cannot and will not be forgiven. The path to ensuring they never hold power again: -Secure the border (Trump already did) -Deport the illegals (process underway) -Pass voter-ID/no mail-in ballots If we do these things, the Democrats will no longer be able to cheat in elections, they will never win a federal election again, and they will eventually cease to exist. If we go nuclear and terminate the filibuster, we can accomplish all of this, and effectively end the Democrat Party. If we fail to secure elections before the 2026 midterms, we likely will never get the opportunity to secure elections, and then when the Democrats win again, we will become a one-party communist state, and the Republic will be lost forever. The time for Republicans to act, is right now.

Entitled? Is it Kevin O'Leary?
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

This is my favorite:
Highlighted section where DOJ backtracks on their claim saying "it is undisputed nearly a quarter of the agencies entire FPS capacity..." to admit that their claim of undisputed is, in fact, disputed by....themselves.

My SO knows my lingo for the candy people love to hate. I'm not ashamed to admit I like to eat crayons.
Grocery list with "crayons" which refers to Brach's candy which has very crayola-like texture.

I feel this. Shelter. Heat. Food. Family. Friends.

I win! Plus a kickass neighborhood with amazing fall colors. More money wouldn't make this better.

Seems like sending a tank to go mosquito hunting.
From a Monty Python skit: Picture of two guys around a smoking crater after using a tank and machine gun to kill a mosquito. "It's a success, the mosquito is now dead"

When I first saw this, I left out "over" in "overthinking" and went "I've heard this sound all my life". 😂
"My roommate told me about this sound which blocks your brain from overthinking. I've been listening for 4 hours straightl

Timeline cleanse. The view from a walk in my war torn Portland, OR suburb yesterday.

Not a day passes that I don't appreciate this.

This dichotomy though.
Two screenshots of Rand Paul on Meet the Press. Top one, saying batshit crazy stuff: "Rand Paul on Trump calling him "nasty liddle' guy": "I don't take it too seriously. I've known the president for over a decade. I've played golf w/ him many times. I enjoy his company. I think he's one of the best presidents if not the best president of my lifetime...I'm one of his best supporters" On the bottom, saying normal person sounding stuff: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
