The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by ICE agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized.
The dad said a masked agent pointed pepper-spray at a Sam's parking lot when they were hit.

Pardon the Corruption
Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

I'm with you @forbes.com There's no understanding why that handful of Democrats betrayed us. My hope is that the Healthcare costs will be enough to keep people fuming for the Midterms one year from now. These Dems that did this are all retiring. Hope they don't try to run for something else.

Trump and the Nazi cunt.
Trump's senility is showing in spades as he attempts to discuss a complex subject: healthcare. He really has no ability to think or talk about anything more complicated than ordering off a menu or asking where the men's room is. Trump has to be a fright and a horror to be around.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
