Exactly, he does have enough implicit power to affect outcomes. While I’m guessing he’d never be able to convince Colorado to drop mail in voting, one word from Trump will get e.g. Louisiana to install the scheme

I call it lying. It’s much easier to create an engaging narrative if you make shit up
Two things-need to reduce costs to match other OECD countries (per capita). I’d start with the AMA and the RVU system that sets physician pricing We don’t need that much incremental taxation. Employers and individuals pay enormous amounts of money for insurance premiums. Just send that to the govt
Mutual of Omaha for Part G supplemental. ($158 for 74 yo). Wellcare for Part D ($0/mo). Wellcare generics are almost free for all but one that I get for $250/90 days less thru Mark. Very happy with claims service, but the Part G premium is borderline affordable for me
I’m 75 and in better shape than that. Guess they’re trying to recruit the fitness averse
And screw with Treasury Inflation Protected Bonds. Wish me a happy retirement
Maybe the recently renamed Washington Orangeskins can play there
The article is well worth the read. But I think describing the current moment as “humiliation” understates the mess we are in. Sadism sums it up better. Deportees to CECOT were humiliated by having their heads shaved. But Trump/Miller/Homan/Noem are gleeful about the deportees lives being ruined
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I grow grapes. It’s a small family farm, so we do a fair amount of work ourselves. It’s hard work for 8 months of the year. Prune vines badly in February and get no grapes in October. The brown folks that work in the orchards and vineyards around me are highly skilled and work at 105F. God bless em
That. Trump’s special power is weaseling out of anything. He can change the subject & nuke Tehran (or Kyiv, just to keep it fun). Congress wouldn’t impeach him. He owns the DOJ. Eileen Cannon will throw out the charges Six months from now we’ll all be raging against something else. Sad!
Not sure. Any non-moron would know that. But his brain is mush and he will never admit to being wrong
I appreciate it! Shows what can happen if you pull the rent seekers out of the system. Get rid of pharmacy benefit managers, rein in AMA power to set physician supply and RVU pricing, get billing efficiency like Medicare.. Take the money that goes to commercial insurers and send it to Medicare!
I have a Plan G from Mutual of Omaha. $157/mo + part B. Had surgery to correct collateral damage from prior cancer surgery. Total OOP maxed out at $274 for the year. Part D is Wellcare. No monthly premium, generic drugs are essentially free, except for one I get from Cost Plus. $17 on C+ vs $274.
Elon Musk stated, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy," during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience." 4/8/2025. Musk woodchippered USAID. DOGED NOAA. I think a good campaign slogan would be “people will die, but America Party is OK with that”
So sorry for your loss
Hope the van has a ramp. They could get back injuries from trying to lift a brown person and their wheelchair
Yes. And also note that low wage employees are often on SNAP food benefits and live in HUD housing. It’s welfare for Walmart
Seagull leadership. Fly in, make a lot of noise, crap all over the place, and leave
Might be apocryphal, but it was reported that when Roundup first came out, sales reps would chug a glass to show how harmless it was
I’m a farmer. A good time to have dealt with Monsanto’s corporate greed was 15+ years ago. Now the farm economy (and therefore food in the quantities needed) is totally dependent on Roundup and dicamba- ready seeds and weed control Bringing back lower chemical farming will take years and years
Mostly cause criminal charges would be through Pam Bondi/Kash Patel. Or maybe Florida state. Or through a Republican House and Senate. We’re screwed
😢 All dogs go to heaven
Would work great, though if Canada starts flying missiles from Toronto to Buffalo
And Israel’s neighbors are chucking low-tech, low altitude, single warhead cheapo missles from 100 miles away. Compare to an ICBM MIRV
Woildn’t it be more fun if we had them fight lions?
Where, exactly, is the cheatin side of town. Asking for a friend
Rural safety net hospitals rely heavily on Medicaid reimbursement. Reduce Medicaid, people reduce hospital utilization, rural hospitals close. Patients may have to drive 100 miles for care. Jobs are lost because rural hospitals are major local employers
It’s 5:00 somewhere
Miller and ICE Barbie are clairvoyant
How large are we talking about?
Actually 7-0. I mentally recuse Alito and Thomas in any case involving Mr Trump or his Regime.
As a farmer, I feel bad about this guy’s dilemma (although I voted for Kamala because I was worried about stuff like this) I’d suggest farmers do some research on why Biden cancelled the deal (China didn’t comply with purchasing more US products). Trump deal 1.0 was as inane and ineffective as 2.0
And how do we collect the new tariffs on illegal fentanyl ?(really, that is not from the Onion—he mentioned it onTruth Social)
Kerpluckistan seems to have escaped. The morons interpreted EU’s ~20% VAT as a tariff. It’s not; it’s a sales tax on all products, imported or EU domestic.
If I still lived on the North Coast (Rochester NY), I’d help defend the Canadian border. Apologies for our Asshole in Chief
Moon him
Not to worry. Musk will have effed up the bureaucracy so much as to be incomprehensible to friends and foes alike
Surprised JD didn’t try to give Zelynski a wedgie on his way out
Guaranteed by whom? It’s obvious that the US gov’t won’t stand behind contracts. Maybe the Russians?
Hopefully, elections can be run on Xitter. 💩 You know, for the integrity.
My neighbor had Trump yard signs up. He attends a Christian church regularly. He knows I am a Democrat and atheist. When I had surgery, he and his family helped out on my farm, took me to the doc & grocery shopping & cooked me dinners His only sin is listening to AM radio
You’ll be using those lines a lot. Suggest abbreviating second sentence as TANVBG&TGOOH
Looks like a classic case of wealthy people thinking they are intelligent and well informed.
My neighbor probably voted for Trump. (Unless the yard signs were a head fake) He is overwhelmingly “friendly and nice”. We’re both farmers and he has sprayed my crops when I couldn’t, helped me fix my tractor, took me to a doctors appointment, and brought down a couple of dinners after my injury.
I share your sorrow
As an atheist, my only regret is that there is (probably) no Hell for the Orange Adolph in which to burn
I am an atheist, but I do believe that the historical Jesus can still teach us how to respect our fellow humans. The Bishop expressed those ideas perfectly.

I predict the last bastion of the Free Press (The Onion) will be forced to close up shop. They won’t be able to think of anything more stupid
