Oop, MTG off script again. The problem with loony true believers in politics is that they don’t do the bullshit we

Which really if you think about it is what you want in a representative. Good bad or indifferent, there is an integrity and honesty in having a POV and being ride or die with it and not weaseling and opportunistically dancing as the drums switch beats.

Sir, the menu offers only the following choices:

1  Bat shit crazy

2  Craven coward kneeling in obedience to a fascist overlord

3  Ordinary grifter/crook

4  Breathtakingly incompetent

5  Staggeringly weak and impotent in resisting any of the four types of idiocy/evil listed above

 

Now, are you gonna order or what?  Because the drive-thru of America's Shittiest Political Future is getting kinda backed up.

I mean, you want the “true believer who won’t do politics and put up with the BS”.
 

Actually, if you are talking about democracy / representative democracy and the ideal purpose and application, “crazy” might actually be what you want if it’s the will of the people to vote and elect “crazy”, so long as the “crazy” is always and was always transparent and authentic. Remaining “crazy” might actually be the most honest outcome in the sense of what Bozo was saying.

Dude, Immamac is gonna ban you for heresy like that.

"Every idiotic thought that pops into your head" is the primary content round here.

Moar!

 

I am walking through this for my own education because it seems like Johnson is trying to confuse multiple items.

Johnson is specifically citing Emergency Medicaid use, which does not require legal citizenship paperwork, as a drain on resources. That use by undocumented immigrants represents less than 1% of Medicaid funds seemingly an indication it is not much of an impact. There have been no changes here, as federal law requires hospitals to treat emergency seeking patients. So, no real point of discussion when it comes to current negotiations.

The other issue Johnson leaps into is the narrowing of eligibility for full Medicaid coverage for documented immigrants. The recent Republican bill narrowed eligibility essentially removing the more vulnerable immigrants like refugees, trafficking victims, etc. In reality, a heartless move but seemingly not a big financial impact from my point of view. Democrats do want to repeat this rollback but also not a large part of their negotiation, as their main focus are the credits which the caller does well to highlight.

 

All this fair?

I still cannot believe we live in a country where people can get away with this type of projection. Republicans are traitors.

This. A clear editor button would be useful. Sometimes, I get that option, but I haven’t figured out how to get that option on my own.

the fastest way you can clear the editor (on mobile, PC you just ctrl+A and backspace) is refresh your page, then click the text box, which will bring up a "clear editor" little button you can hit

She can still go fuck herself for how she treated the kids in the Parkland shooting. She's the best republican, but that's a low bar.

People should latch onto the “draining of resources”.

 

I don’t know the $’s associated with emergency care for immigrants but if I had to speculate they are currently  spending infinitely more on the the ICE and national guard bullshit to “solve” something that is a rounding error.
