And the fact that this is the first fucking thing he did in office doesn't surprise me really says a lot about my expectations of Trump.

Well, the health care thing is rather general and not very specific. Bad, yes, but not specific.

The specific first thing he did was the mentioned mortgage bit. Obama had ordered a 0.25-percentage-point rate cut for FHA-backed mortgages. (In concrete terms, this would have saved borrowers about $29/month on a $200,000 mortgage.) It's now been suspended over concerns about the amount of money the FHA has on hand.

Does anyone think that the Republicans actually have replacement plans for the aca? Cause it's going to be really shitty for everyone when premiums sky rocket because all of the young people leave the market because they won't want to buy insurance or can't afford it. I mean Republicans can't be this fucking stupid to not realize that it's going to hurt there re election chances if they really fuck this up. And hopefully dems aren't stupid enough to call them out on it.

Trump claims he had a million and a half people at his inauguration in a petty attempt to discredit a protest drawing at least two times the crowd he had. This is, quite obviously, a bold faced lie.

While the schadenfreude is amusing and I look forward to more of it in the next four years, it shouldn't be taken without pointing out that Trump making bold faced lies about and to the press and his Sean Spicer, his press secretary, making a blanket statement of "we're going to hold the press accountable" (direct quote, by the way) without any sort of context or explanation sets a dangerous and terrifying precedent for how the Trump administration is going to handle PR.

The GOP never wanted Trump.  Oh sure the Fringe that has come to dominate the GOP did but the GOP leadership?  Nope.  Not a single one of them wanted him.  He's out of control and will never be brought to heel.  They'd rather have Pence in there but Pence doesn't win elections.  Trump does.  And when they do get what they want out of him and he's made himself such an ass, look to see an impeachment started and stick.  Probably around mid-terms.

Ironbite-so 2 years of this then the GOP throws Trump under the bus to get some form of moderates back.

I don't get it. Why would they gut everything and then blame trump for it? Shouldn't they be proud of all the bullshit they're going to do? It's like they know what they want to do will be extremely unpopular with the American people. So they need to put it on a fall guy.

Of course they know it's unpopular, but their corporate funders want it. (Or, at least, they want the tax cuts that they can get when they no longer have to fund that stuff.)

I'm betting on eight years of Trump. The polls are worse than useless, and it's become cool to hate the law. Getting impeached will just make him more popular, though it might not get to the point where the people overthrow the government if they impeach Trump
