What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

What about Vladimir Putin as head of NSA? His previous experience as KGB officer and inside knowledge on cyber warfare against America must surely qualify him.

Going to be a fair bit of that going around...

QuoteThis Trump voter didn't think Trump was serious about repealing her health insurance

CORBIN, Kentucky — Why would people vote for a presidential candidate who campaigned on taking away their health insurance?

Last week, we went to Corbin, Kentucky, to try to answer that question. It's a small city in southeastern Kentucky, an area of the country that has seen huge declines in its uninsured rate — but also voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

You can read more about what we learned there in this story, but we also wanted to give you the transcripts of the conversations we had so the people we talked to could speak for themselves.

Debbie Mills is a 53-year-old furniture store owner in Bell County, an area of the state right on the Tennessee border. Earlier this year, doctors discovered that her husband has non-alcoholic cirrhosis. He now needs a transplant if he's going to survive. Mills and her husband keep a bag packed, waiting for the doctors to call with news that a liver is available.

This all means that Mills really, really needs her health insurance. And she's very grateful for the Affordable Care Act, because she couldn't afford insurance before it was passed.

And yet she voted for Donald Trump. Until we spoke, she said she hadn't taken Trump's repeal threats seriously. As we talked, she started to process what his election might mean for her family's future.

Here's that conversation, edited for clarity and length.

Reading the transcript, you just have to wonder about people. NOW she's starting to worry about something that she heard over and over and over again during the debates. NOW she's freaking out because her husband won't be able to get the million dollar surgery and after-care that he needs.

I am seriously beginning to wonder what mind-control juice Trump was handing out during the election. It's like these people didn't hear anything he said at all.

How do you have a fucking conversation with someone like this?

How do you not just punch a person like this in the throat?

I mean WTF. You didn't think he was serious? Are you for fucking real?

Fried Chicken is the bomb when done right.

If you are in Corbin, it is worth it. Bring your cholesterol drugs.

No it's not.  It's just a regular shitty-ass KFC restaurant attached to that museum. :huh:

Yes, I've been there too.

IT TASTES BETTER. And considering the shit past Corbin on the way to Harlan, you'll be glad you had edible food.

Ps. Go fuck yourself Cal.  :)

It would be like me saying I voted for the Shady Lady because I didn't think she was serious about gun control...lol. And then she pushes a draconian agenda on the subject.

Do you know what tastes better?  Claudia Sanders Dinner House here in Shelbyville.  It uses Colonel Sanders's original recipes before KFC was all corporatized.
