We would be a lot less fucked if we had eight years of prime Joe instead of four years of declining Joe. He’s awesome. 

Listening to Stern now.  First 10 minutes talking about Prince, which is fine.  Humanizing.

I like the concept but we're getting to the point of raising our credit card limit so we can go to the mall later today. I'm in favor of adding to necessary govt services but we never want to address the costs. Most likely the only way to get this proposal passed is to give the Republicans a tax break. Receive less in tax revenue and spend more. 

 

 

Hopefully this will be costs instead of money going to private equity companies nursing homes.

But man just giving money to Americans gets abused pretty fast. I would hope most of it would end up going to elder care.

We'll see what the proposal actually looks like, but by its summary term, this is the key point: "The vice president will propose establishing a home care benefit through Medicare focused on helping families afford the cost of caring for seniors at home instead of in nursing facilities."

We already spend a shitload of Medicare dollars on elder care.  We just spend those dollars in nursing facilities.  If we can spend similar dollars on home health care, often with better care, outcomes, and dignity, that would be a really good move.  Even if it was a 1 for 1, and folks with even moderate means could supplement the benefit to pay for home health option, that would be big.

Exactly - I would guess when this is scored that it’s actually cheaper to care for Seniors in their homes as it eliminates all of the facility costs associated with nursing homes.

If Trump wins, one thing I look forward to is Cheung getting round up and getting the leopard face eating treatment.

On the "Trump sending Covid tests to Russia" thing, just to be clear, these were not the little litmus test strips.  These were the testing machines.  To the dictator of a country who was under heavy sanctions.

What Trump secretly sent to Putin

The book also contains new details about Trump’s relationship with the Russian president. In 2020, Woodward writes, Trump had “secretly sent Putin a bunch of Abbott Point of Care Covid test machines for his personal use.”

During the height of the pandemic, Russia and the United States did exchange medical equipment such as ventilators. But Putin — who infamously isolated himself over fears of Covid — told Trump on a phone call to keep the delivery of the Abbott machines quiet, Woodward reports.

“Please don’t tell anybody you sent these to me,” Putin said to Trump, according to Woodward.

“I don’t care,” Trump replied. “Fine.”

“No, no,” Putin said. “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me. They don’t care about me.”

If so, Trump has instructed his communications' director to write whatever he says verbatim, no need to try to punch it up.

I knew Arizona was crazy, but that 60 minutes segment was fucking nuts. And the people these crazy Rs flock to and follow are such pathetic nobodys.

Seriously.  Imagine the CEO of a publicly traded company who made such an infantile public statement.  The fucking stock price would drop 25% that day, with good reason.

And we're about to appoint that man to the highest position on planet Earth.  Fucking amazing.

From the CNN article on the Woodward book:

“War” offers a glimpse into Harris’ private dealings with Biden as his vice president. Woodward writes that at one point she was concerned about Biden’s isolation and called one of his closest associates.

“I’m calling to ask you — to really beg you, actually — could you please talk to the president more than you talk to him?” Harris said to Biden’s friend. “Your president really loves you. You should talk to him more often than you do.”

Woodward writes: “The Biden associate was candid with the vice president. Look, one of the biggest reasons that Biden calls me, the associate said, is I provide him a level of comfort to the point where he can swear freely about ‘what a fucking asshole Joe Manchin is.’”

The vice president laughed. “That might be the only reason that he still really is comfortable with me to a point,” Harris said, according to Woodward, “because he knows that I’m the only person around who knows how to properly pronounce the word motherfucker.”

Harris now talking about seeing U2 at the Sphere.

It used to be a skill to put someone down but not be blunt about it. The type of insult that went over the head of a less intelligent person. Trump's insults are walking up to you and slapping you in the face.

At one point, Trump said he didn't want the briefings so that he wouldn't be accused of leaking classified information.

 

Really.  Just couldn't help himself.  He's the opposite of an intelligence asset.

I heard someone say this probably six months ago and haven’t heard it since. “Trump is enemies with our friends and friends with our enemies.”

Add it to the pile of things that would work well in an ad, but we won’t see it because they can’t make a billion hours of ads trashing him.

Not a new statement, but I was reminded last week that if you begin with the idea that Trump is a Russian asset, nearly everything he does and says makes sense.

True. But the state did vote for a D governor and 2 senators for the first time in forever. So who knows.

Even if some abuse it, some won't. That alone likely a net benefit. And if the elder in question chooses to go into a home, well, that will still be an option too. We can't legislate to account for every shitty human out there.

This is compelling, but at the end of the day I can't agree with it. Becuase it would ipmly that as an asset, he's actually excelled at being a Russian asset, and I just can't square that this motherfucker has done anything competent in his life.
