Trump Fires Them All

Wow. Whatever happened to compassionate conservatism?

“The only criteria for serving this president is loyalty,” he said. “From the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] to this body, to the FBI, there is a real problem this president has with dialogue or dissent.”

This has been discussed already in at least 2 threads at the end of December. (yawn)

It never existed, in terms of any policy.

They were the party of "phonies" when I was on the "Hill" in the 2000's. They all knew that all that was required was to publicly ask for God's mercy and forgiveness, and the Religous Right and fellow Conservatives would come to their rescue and defend them. Infidelity, fraud, drugs, it simply did not matter what they did wrong. All they had to do was make a phony public confession and ask for foregiveness and ALL of their sins and transgressions would be foregiven. Sadly, the same level of compassion wasnt extended to the Dems.
 
And good riddance to. :2wave:

As a tax payer and a person saddled with $34,000/ year in health insurance from my provider under the ACA, I am glad I won't have to pay for a person with HIV with my ACA TAX money. Their poor choices no one but them should have to pay for. I lost a health insurance policy back in 1997 while my wife was 7 month pregnant and trust me, you don't forget that. That policy was over 30 years old, and had no life time caps, and it was affordable. It was canceled on 80,000+ policy holders because of the AIDS epidemic back then. Nothing against gay's personally, but I am sick and tired of paying out the nose for a life style choice I consider inappropriate...

So there you have it. Let them pay their own way or suffer the consequences.

Wow just ****ing WOW!

Unfortunately you are so uninformed that you still believe HIV/AIDs is only sexually transmitted through homosexual sex.

Even bush had more compassion...

Well, it was them and their deviant "lifestyle" that started this whole mess.

Why shouldn't they pay?

Trump is finding that a great pleasure of his office is the power it gives him to simply undo, with the stroke of a pen, work of the more able and creative men who preceded him.

Obama fired them all as well and I am not sure if bush did or not. I would have to look it up.

Trump Fires HIV/AIDS Council in Its Entirety by FedEx Letter, Report Claims

The decision by an administrator to clear house at PACHA is not unprecedented. The Obama administration eliminated all of George W. Bush’s appointees in the same way.

More faux outrage.

Right, its just 20 times more likely to spread that way - that's all.
 
What is this....the third thread you posted on this same topic? Do you start a new thread every time someone makes you look stupid by pointing out that every new administration...including Obama...did the exact same thing and that you and others are only expressing your poutrage because it is Trump?

The greatest health problems in the US are, by far, related to obesity / fat.
I don't think we should have to pay for the poor health choices of these fatties. We should cut government funded health programs directed towards fat people, it would save the American People 117 Billion dollars per year.

Who gives a **** if 100'000 to 400'000 people die per year ? They should just suffer the consequences of their poor lifestyle.

HIV/AIDS is still very much a problem in the homosexual community. Unless you can back up your claim, I say bull crap, heterosexuals rarely encounter it.

Compassion? Were is the compassion for a family of 4 healthy people paying $34K for a years health insurance? Were is the compassion for the 80,000 policy holders who lost their insurance because of a handful of homosexual policy holders who can't keep their dick out of some ones ass?

Were is your compassion? You don't have any.

How many thousands of insurance policy holders lost their insurance because of fat people? ZERO.....

I suggest you dial in some logic before you comment.

I was critisizing this argument : Their poor choices no one but them should have to pay for

Why don't we just round up all the fat people and send them to the gas chambers?

And that is NOT the real argument here at all.

Unprotected homosexual sex is.

And I don't want to pay for anything to do with that. :2wave:

That was my point, just because you, me, or anybody else does not condone someone's particular life choices, that does not mean these people should be denied health insurance.

Otherwise, you could use the same logic to deny health insurance to smokers, drug users, alcoholics, people who are overweight... most health problems are related to poor choices. If you want to deny coverage of conditions stemming from poor choices, you must deny coverage of ALL conditions that stem from poor choices. Otherwise, you're just picking and choosing based on something very subjective : your personal values.
