An eraser doesn’t work on something written with a pen. Maybe white-out would be better. Plus the term might set the social justice warriors’ hair on fire!

He ordered that when bureaucrats who are administering and enforcing the law have discretion with respect to the time, place, manner and severity of its enforcement, they should exercise that discretion in favor of individuals and against the government.

You know what I find simply staggering? This position, this sentiment, is literally why we fought the Revolutionary War! How utterly tragic the depths we have sunk as a Republic that today, such a statement -- a mere statement -- is deemed revolutionary. (See my tagline.)

Thank you Lord for the national reprieve.

I’ll make sure it’s a PINK eraser so the Marching FemiNazis don’t all go insane, LOL! (Insaner? More insane?) ;)

“...Trump’s revolutionary act is a breeze of freedom on a sea of regulation. It recognizes something modern governments never admit — that they can be and have been wrong. It is exactly as Trump promised.”

Thanks for the ping on this one, Jim. Teddy is not my idea of a role model so was concerned with recent comparisons of Trump with him. The Judge is a constitutional scholar so very happy he considers this action Jeffersonian, i.e., strict constructionist.

“Viva la revolucion.”

To be accurate, it would be “Viva la counter-revolucion”. It’s the libtard socialist left that are the “revolutionaries”, trying to overthrow our form of government, making us the counter-revolutionaries.

Trump has a paper shredder, not just an eraser.

I hope that Trump will do more than this. I don’t like the idea that while Congress does set the law, the President can give them guidelines on how hard or soft to enforce that law. I’m pissed when obama told the Feds to “go easy” on the illegal immigrants, and I don’t like it that Trump is using that same logic in this case.

But yes - it is legal, and turn-about is fair play I guess. And the reasoning is sound.

There are some other aspects to dismantle obamacare that I would be more inline with. I think their were two executive orders that obama signed to fix obamacare so it would work. Real easy for Trump to make an EO and get rid of those two EO’s. And some district court made a ruling against some key point in obamacare - but obama counter sued and that ruling is still in the works to get ruled by the Supreme court. But in the meantime the district ruling doesn’t take effect. Trump, with his pen, could make that countersuit disappear, and the district ruling would take effect. All three of them wouldn’t “end” obamacare, but they would cripple it so badly that it would collapse on itself.

I’m guessing Trump will get around to it. And he knows that it will be gone soon enough, so hence this EO. It hasn’t even been a week yet! Geez - a politician that so far is doing what he said he would do. And as we saw from his campaign - when does the guy sleep!?

Got a question for some HR Block Tax Type Freepers. If someone was a 1099 contractor during the 2016 Tax year, health care not provided by their agent, and they did not purchase Health Insurance - Are they still on the hook for the ~$2K penalty at Tax Time?

I am thinking this “no enforce” style Exec-Order means NO

We watched the Gruber interview. That smirk! The arrogance! Tucker listed all the idiocies of the coverages that people will never use, and Gruber twisted it to mean that Tucker objects to “generous coverage” or some similar verbiage.

How do you get them to loan you the money if you don’t have to pay any interest?


They figure out what the “interest” would be, add it to the agreed upon amount, call it a profit, and divy up the payments so that you pay that total.

Then they say, see, we did not charge interest, just our profit for the transaction.

I saw the judge discuss this in an interview on Fox a few days ago. I was almost crying because I was so proud of our God-sent President.
