    Before 2026 is over I guarantee many of them will be negatively affected. However most of them won't change their votes because they are fucking idiots. 

    Some of these people were likely visiting their doctors who explained to them what the bill means for future care. They're not reading newspapers or watching anything other than FOX NEWS, they will learn the truth from alternative sources. The realization will be only a trickle.

    Trump will blame Hillary or Obama. The idiots will bite.

  2. Two observations about the below:

    • The visual contradicts the story. Lazy. Stupid.
    • "Badly missing..." is pretty amusing use of understatement and irony. I sense a trapped independent thinker among the college boy journalists.

    Everyone is a dictator to Democrats that can’t possibly comprehend using their voter approved power to implement change

    Are you designated to replace Rush Limbaugh as Democratic spokesperson to the right?

  4. Okay, I'll shut up after this.

    There was a Sherlock Holmes movie, Murder by Decree (1979), with an all-star cast. Pretty good. The great Christopher Plummer plays Holmes. He is working against a corrupt gov't official protecting the Ripper because he is a royal. When Plummer comes upon the man now wounded, he stops only long enough to say (again, Plummer's voice):

    If ever you fall under my hand, expect no mercy.

    I suppose it has nothing to do with the subject of the thread and has just randomly crossed my mind.

    I find myself rooting for the collapse of the film industry more and more. 

    There would be the benefit of getting better films. Fewer remakes of Batman, but that's a price I'm willing to pay. It would be more like that period in the 70s that Spielberg helped put an end to.

    Think South Korea.

    He’s not a man with any beliefs. He wants to be liked. Why Dems don’t use him on minimum wage and Medicaid expansion will be another consultant questionnaire that’s 2 years late.

    You really don't get it, do you?

    Name a dictator concerned with being liked?

    It will become the Fascist Fashion of the New Big Beautiful American Era.

    "Right away, Mr. President, sir. Do you see the tears streaming down my face in the direction of my giant hairy arms, sir?"

    The chances of Trump getting Medicare for all passed is higher than any Democrat 

    If we only had more trains to make to arrive on time. Sigh.

    Nothing enrages me more than seeing a brown debase themselves for whites.

    You wanna have a hot sweaty job in the fields with your family or nice, well-dressed job in the Massa's house with his family?

    It's a shame that I don't have the moral vacuity to enjoy being part of the Massa class.

  9. They wouldn't convict when he was impeached for violent insurrection.

    They vote for a bill that is a nakedly wicked piece of legislation mainly comprised of cruelty and greed.

    It's all right there for all to see. This is what utter defeat looks like.

  10. How does one view holding an elective office in Washington D.C.? 

    image.thumb.png.56835e8766ab18493e436782f7f44695.png

    It's employment to feed your family and get great perks. It's like working at a big corporation where you put in your time eat the shit you must eat for the sake of your family and yourself.

    The actual job description is to support the Constitution and act in the best interests of the nation and your constituency, but we all know that's all bullshit. 

     

    This thread has been very depressing the last few pages. The buffoonery surrounding the actions of a hateful tyrant. Wearing baseball caps, selling perfume, name-calling, the president unleashes an army of masked thugs on persons of color whom he villifies at criminal with absolutely no evidence.

    Ironically, it's depressing because it makes me want to laugh dismissively although I remain murderous. Maybe those ingredience combine for malaise and melancholy.

    Oh well. Sort of a pointless post. Nothing fresh or amusing. Like our world at the moment.

    Yeah, the book was good.  I was watching the trailer thinking it was doing a good job while not giving away a major plot point and then it gave it away in the last 30 seconds.  Hollywood just can't help themselves anymore.

    I stopped watching the trailer half way through when I remembered the book. Even know what you're talking about, I didn't want to see it before seeing the movie. Luckily, it was in time.

     But you can’t remove politics from it. Somebody who would support causing this much suffering is not a good person.

    They’re great people to you.

    But they’re bad people.

    It’s something we all have to deal with. My brother-in-law is a guy whose company I enjoy. He’s been good to me. But knowing his politics and listening to what he has to say about various out groups and the joy he takes in Trump hurting them—he’s a bad person.  And I very frankly don’t want to be around him.

    I'm going to a July 4 party hosted by a Dem that will have many MAGAs present. In the past, nothing has been said about Trump. I'm feeling acquiescent just attending the same parties they do. I want to put a Mexican flag on our fence on the ranch road we live on to show Latinos some of us don't think they're dangerous criminals, but that would be too provocative according to my beloved. She's not a Trumpist. She sends more money, by far, than I do. 

    Writing here and talking only among friends who agree begins to seem and feel cowardly. I give a piddling amount of money to groups that are more active, that feels like too little as well. Getting membership emails from GLAAD doesn't really make me feel like I'm part of the fight. They surely are; they're on the front line.

    I'm struggling with this. My disapproval turns inward. 

    Napoleon instructed all of his generals and marshalls that they must always march towards the sound of guns. I'm not really doing that. Makes me feel complicit in the coming defeat.

  13. The entrapment statement seems like something TexAgs would say if their QB were accused of sexual assault. The sips set him up. We told you young'ns about tu, do you believe us now? 

    In sexual assault cases, I generally start out believing the woman. Sadly, if it's he said she said, it's hard to prove. Predators rely on this. I guess that works both ways. A predatory woman could use the same veil. I just don't think many women (a few, surely) would go through all of this.

    No matter, either a woman was assaulted or a man's reputation for life is damaged due to false accusation. Something bad is happening to someone. I believe women because such a huge number of them experience varying degrees of assault or harassment during their lives.
