Economic cognitive dysfunction

Republicans: Scrap Obamacare, return the $600 billion in tax breaks to the wealthy and the corporations and then complain about the “unsustainable” national debt. Go figure!

Of no concern to me

I don't care about the trumped-up relationship between the US and Russia. In four years I will vote for Trump again and if he were a Democrat I would vote for him several times.
