How about the second or even the third abortion would require permanent sterilization.  Dems often use the camel's nose strategy to get what they want.  Why can't we?
Why should the federal government be paying for any of it?

What's up with you people who can't express a thought without it leading back to Obama.  You're so focused on someone who hasn't been in office for five months.  It's okay to talk about how Trump is an idiot without also saying "so was Obama".

My point is that we saw examples from Obama abut what you say Trump is doing now.  I have no evidence from you, nor anyone else that Trump is selectively enforcing laws like Obama did, because Trump ISN'T doing it.

Ah, so only laws you agree with should be enforced.  Gotcha.  Sounds kinda Trumpish.

Actually that was Obama's strategy for eight years, especially with immigration related law.

The full-on meltdown in the radical alt-left-government-media complex may be the best result of the Trump election - the masks are coming off one by one, on all sides of the issues, partisan activists within the deep state, squishy RINO's, activist judges/courts, etc., the left is demonstrating daily that they are the party of hatred, misogyny, racism and 'the man'.

I am truly and utterly loving life - add in the upcoming SCOTUS smack-downs and the next 7 and a half years are going to be glorious.

If you thought they overused the Race Card over the last 8 years you haven't seen anything yet....TDS is in full bloom and turns them all into triggered shuddering bowls of Jello.

I totally disagree. The best federal intervention into health care would be tort control...and then to get out of the way of the rest of it. 

The other day someone asked me why a hospital charges you $50 for a Tylenol.  After explaining all the various doctors, multiple nurses, pharmacists, procedures, checks and double checks that they used, the simplest explanation I could give is that it cost them 2 cents to give you the Tylenol and $49.98 to protect themselves against a lawsuit for giving it to you. 

Tort is out of control.  It causes unnecessary procedures, tests and treatments which are performed solely for the purpose of a legal defense.  Doctors are prevented from performing certain treatments on their own, which creates stratification and a hierarchy structure, both of which create additional cost centers which need to provide for their own profit in addition to paying for the profit of their subcontractors, AND their subcontractors, AND their subcontractors, etc.  That is in addition to the direct cost when doctors are sued for failing to provide a cure, sometimes for things that are incurable.  All of this creates the $50 Tylenol and other elements.

The fake news is Trump collusion, not Russian attempting to mess with an election.  Two very different things.   Conservatives need to stop arguing moonbat's on their terms, force them to the truth instead.

It's not just them, it's Trump, too. He needs to be held accountable just as much as Congressional Republicans.

Yes he does, but he cannot pass bills on his own.  He needs to find a way to coerce these bought, and paid for establishment Republicans somehow so he can get his agenda through.  They need to be publicly shamed, and/or voted out of office.

I'd like to break the OPs rant down and deal with the several parts.

Cut welfare: Absolutely true. Comes in several flavors. 1. Eliminate the new immigrants from getting any fed/state subsidies for five years after they arrive(I think it should be 20 years, but hey - 5 is a good start). 2. Put a lifetime cap on direct welfare payments of 18 years(funny, that's the amount of time from birth to adulthood for a welfare queen), and some other caps for other programs, but all would have a lifetime cap for direct welfare payments. 3. Cut back welfare where the recipient has hidden assets from the feds(bad problem).

Trump's direct payments to landlords: Partly true, mostly false. This is called the Section 8 housing assistance program. Trump does not own any real estate that is directly tied to any Section 8 housing payments. He is a partner in a large real estate trust that owns some redevelopment property that accepts Section 8 payments. I don't know what his stake in it is exactly, but he(and I) are all minority ownership interest. Why does the trust own RE which would be covered by Section 8 payments? Because, the govt tells us that as part of any RE trust where the assets exceed about 5 mil, a certain percent of the holdings MUST be in low-income, or structured relief payment housing - i.e. must accept Section 8. It - is - the - law.

Tax break for one of his golf courses: True. One more more of his courses was converted from a kind of fescue which is high water use to a kind of grass that uses far less water to stay green. The congress(in their infinite wisdom) back in 2009(who was prez?) offered tax rebates for courses which changed grass type. The law is on the books, the golf course qualifies, and Trump is taking LEGAL advantage of the tax break, or dodge, or loophole. BTW, the golf course is part of a collection of assets that is once again publicly owned, and so for the administrators(it is NOT Trump, he's turned all that over to others to manage) to not take advantage of reducing tax liability would be a case of failure to properly reduce taxes and fees, and maximize profits for their shareholders.

Thief and moron. A 'thief' by definition is someone who takes from someone else, or a group of people by force. So - that one's a lie. The moron comment is not worth responding to. Meh - whatev.

Wouldn't you feel better about yourself when you hit 60MPH after 2.28 seconds?

They do have tremendous torque for sure.  I like hearing the rumble of a gasoline engine.  :)  I have no problem with people buying electric cars, or anything else they want.  However, I do have a problem subsidizing them.

And for the ladies here, I imagine you'd find some of the man-bun guys are fairly attractive

Oh... man buns are EXTREMELY sexy. On Viking warriors. Not so much on a metrosexual sipping a latte.

Don't you understand?  It was Russia (again)!  Putin told some underling "Go take care of things in Georgia."  The underling (or his travel agent) merely got confused.

Last 6-8 weeks, polls show Ossof up by 5-10 - 'this election is about the repudiation of Trump and his agenda'

After Handel wins, by 6-7% - 'this was never about Trump or his agenda'.

The hypocrisy and messaging knows no bounds. 

The exploding heads and rage on the Left are about to dial up to 11.......

About the only thing I see the media bashing Trump with about tweets is his audacity to question them.   Keep tweeting Donald.

Every day Trump angers and frustrates millions of liberal/socialists. It's like Christmas every day!! Woo hoo

(BTW, I'm not on tweeter, or twits, or whatever it is called) Seems to me 'journalism' is now copy->paste a tweet from someone then grind on that. Hmmm
