“I’ll fix it as it explodes”, he said

Nachdem Trumps Gesetzesvorschlag zur Krankenversicherung erstmal gescheitert ist:

Robert Costa, Washington Post:

President Trump called me on my cellphone Friday afternoon at 3:31 p.m.
“Hello, Bob,” Trump began. “So, we just pulled it.”
My question for the president: Are you really willing to wait to reengage on health care until the Democrats come and ask for your help?

“Sure,” Trump said. “I never said I was going to repeal and replace in the first 61 days” — contradicting his own statements and that of his own adviser, Kellyanne Conway, who told CNN in November that the then-president-elect was contemplating convening a special session on Inauguration Day to begin the process of repealing the Affordable Care Act.
As he waits for Democrats, I asked, what’s next on health care, if anything, policy-wise?

“Time will tell. Obamacare is in for some rough days. You understand that. It’s in for some rough, rough days,” Trump said.

“I’ll fix it as it explodes,” he said. “They’re going to come to ask for help. They’re going to have to. Here’s the good news: Health care is now totally the property of the Democrats.”
Does Trump regret starting his agenda this year with health care?

“No, I don’t,” he said. “But in a way I’m glad I got it out of the way.”

SĂŒĂŸstoff Stevia: Lebensmittelriesen starten die Zucker-Revolution

Zucker macht fett, also gibt es seit ĂŒber 100 Jahren kĂŒnstliche SĂŒĂŸstoffe. Deren Patente laufen aber aus, weswegen die Konzerne Ersatz brauchen, um nicht von chinesischem BilligsĂŒĂŸlis um den Profit gebracht zu werden. Die Stevia-Pflanze aus kommt da gerade recht. SĂŒĂŸ und kalorienfrei, aber leider als Pflanze nicht patentierbar.

Also sagt man ihr Krebserregung nach und verhindert damit, dass sie als Lebensmittel zugelassen wird. Gleichzeitig extrahiert man den natĂŒrlichen SĂŒĂŸstoff der Pflanze mit speziellen Methoden. Anders als die Pflanze sind die Methoden sehr gut patentierbar und der gewonnene SĂŒĂŸstoff auch fĂŒr Lebensmittel zugelassen. Solange die Stevia-Pflanze Europa und den USA nicht zugelassen ist, ergeben sich beachtliche Profitmöglichkeiten fĂŒr die GetrĂ€nkekonzerne. Raffiniert.

Republicans' new website not exactly what they hoped it would be

Lest you think Republicans are just discovering the Internet, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.) let it be known that "House Republicans have tweeted five times as many as the House Democrats. Leader Boehner has almost five times as many Facebook fans as Speaker Pelosi." Boehner grinned and gave a double thumbs-up.

Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.) contributed to the discussion by twice giving out the wrong address for the new site.

Gute Ideen:

The women of the GOP should post tasteful pictures of their feet if they want my vote.

Since there so many hungry people in the world i think we shuld make them to eat the other poor people wen they die of hunger. This way theere wouldn't be any more world hunger.

Somebody stole my bike even though I had a bike lock on it... Guess I should have spent the extra $7 for the deluxe one with the thicker chain. Dangit.

I would like to see a river of fire built between the US and Mexico. I would also like level 12 mages to guard the border just in case.

Mininova entfernt alle illegalen Torrents

Erst nimmt PirateBay seinen Tracker vom Netz, jetzt schmeisst auch noch Mininova das Handtuch. Auf der legalen Seite denkt Hulu drĂŒber nach, Geld zu verlangen. Nicht, dass das in Deutschland nen Unterschied machen wĂŒrde.

Wir freuen uns ja schon, wenn bei iTunes die neue Serienstaffel schon ein Jahr spÀter erhÀltlich ist und nicht komplett unbrauchbar synchronisiert wurde.

Mal sehn wann btjunkie dicht macht. Oder rarbg, Torrentz, kickasstorrents und isohunt. Oder seedpeer, bytenova, torrentparty, monova, coda.fm, Torrent Finder und die ganzen privaten Tracker, das Usenet und One-Click-Hoster.
