  1. Whelp. GOP’s Big Beautiful Bill wants to reduce the funding of Medicaid - and to gut Medicaid expansions. The party of states’ rights and small federal government has a provision in the proposed bill that prohibits local governments from taxing hospitals and healthcare entities to raise taxes to support Medicaid. It’s not enough that the federal government will cut Medicaid money - they have to make sure that local governments can’t tax anyone (so that their white boot strap money does not go to those dirty, criminal, brown immigrants stealing all the healthcare, don’t you know?) Stupid liberals are gonna make some noise about this, because they fail to see that all those Medicaid moochers will be working long shifts in the new factories. Those new jobs will include healthcare. Which means the people on Medicaid can just wait until they get those new jobs and have big beautiful private healthcare. Like God intends.
  2. “You mean the war after I stopped that other war? if you keep on telling lies, I will ban you from the next press conference.”
  3. username does not check out.
  4. Wesley was stunned. The cap was bad enough - but being told he had been renamed “Rikki Tikki” made his blood freeze.
  5. I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief that everything we buy from China is now only 30% more expensive. Thank God, Bezos and Elmo won’t have to pay those crippling taxes anymore.
  6. The point is, they ceased! Nano-second or not, a cease is a cease. Where’s my peace prize?
  7. If we have to buy Occasionally Earths for a while, so be it.
  8. “ I just thought when he hurt all those other people that things would get better for ME quicker…..”
  9. What a coincidence. It just so happens that I’m smoking a peace pipe right now after an enjoyable afternoon. OK, maybe not a peace pipe, but most def a pipe…wait…what was the question again?
  10. Hell, we had to win the Mutt series in Athens last year just to get a game over .500 and qualify for the tournament as an at-large bid….. this after we lost to Vanderbilt in the opening game of the SEC tournament. That is the last stat on my mind right now.
  11. strikes. how do they work?

    Maybe he has no neck?
  13. I find it mind bottling how many bullshit statements by Trump and his minions (taken at their word as true) will be enough to pull up the market. I mean, Trump was quoted saying, “80% tariff sounds about right”. In what fucking world is most every Chinese made good being 80% more expensive a benefit to American families or our economy? TEMU should have a tariff add-on to the spin wheel. And yet, the markets will probably joyously react that it’s not 140%. So bizarre.
  14. As far as I can tell, the grants were for “infrastructure”. That could mean any number of things, including something like an old bridge that was located in that county that needed to be elevated or strengthened in case of flooding. or maybe it was simply point B between point a and point C that was necessary for South Dakota’s emergency preparedness teams to traverse the state. The fact that the bridge was located in that county could be serendipitous. Still, one assumes that a project in that small county would result in at least some local hires and a boon to the town small businesses. I’m sure that workers need coffee shops and diners and motels. So even if the benefit was not going to directly go to the 3000 local residents, there would’ve been some kind of economic ripple affect to the positive. Too bad, so sad. Eat crap magats.
  15. Kentucky 1-0 over Oklahoma in the second. If they hold on, that would be a sweep of the dirt burglars. Edit: 2-0 top of third
  16. Actually, that is exactly why the oils are essential.
  17. Actually, that is pretty normal for chemotherapy.
