I think “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals” would be better companions than dumb Whitehouse parrots.

JDV isn’t that much older than some of these “kids”.

If they were 13 years old, maybe. Maybe even if they were 17. But no, they’re adults now and should bear the consequences of their callous behavior.

The students perform the exams, but they’re checked by the teachers who are experienced optometrists, so I have confidence that they are professional and accurate.

Fortunately, we have a school of optometry here in St. Louis. Last year I got a very thorough standard exam plus some extra tests and insurance covered it, plus the school gets good deals with glasses manufacturers, so the cost was covered except for a bit, which I was able to use my flex card for.

Maybe the worm thought that eating a human brain would give it human-like intelligence, but after the first bite it realized it had chosen the wrong brain.

So the question is still the same: why does healthcare have to be so complicated?

The answer: it doesn’t. Other countries have figured out how to make it much simpler, less expensive, and more effective.

Now that I’m on Medicare, I still have that enrollment period agony, because I have Medicare Advantage.

I have an expensive eyeglass prescription, which regular Medicare doesn’t cover. Until our government considers eyes, ears, and teeth as part of the human body, I have no choice but Advantage.

The last enrollment period I had ADA, I was informed that my plan’s cost would almost double - to a price I could not afford. Since it was less than 6 months before I’d qualify for Medicare, I chose the cheapest possible plan and prayed I wouldn’t have any major illness before Medicare kicked in.

When I had insurance through ADA, every year around this time I had to spend hours comparing the changes in the plan I had chosen with other plans to see which was the best deal. Every year I wondered why health care funding had to be so complicated.

I really want to make a poster of King Louis in the guillotine, with Marie Antoinette and Trump waiting in line, but I don’t have the artistic talent and I’m afraid “someone” would consider it a threat rather than the satire it would be intended as.

dearersenilekine.bsky.social @dearersenilekine.bsky.social · 1d

The Lord’s work? Like turning over tables of businessmen trying to extort people? Or healing the sick? Or calling the people in authority whitewashed tombs?

How about welcoming the stranger or feeding the hungry?

I haven’t seen any videos of ICE officers doing these things.

Don’t any ICE agents have hair?

There’s a 75% chance of rain here in St. Louis on Saturday. One of those inflatable costumes would be a great raincoat!

As a St. Louisan, it’s heartening to see this happening in other parts of the state!

Maybe today’s enlistees are a placeholder for the army of clones/drones they wish to employ in the future.

No leaks, no disobedience, no protests. They’ll do whatever they’re programmed to do. No issue with hairstyle or facial hair, either, because they’ll all look the same. Probably like Hegseth.

That said, I think Republicans are controlling the weather (😂). We’ve been in a drought here in St. Louis for 2 months, but the weather forecast for Saturday is 75% chance of ☔️. I might still attend but just stand under a building awning the whole time.

I think it’s worthwhile. If nothing else, participating confirms you’re not alone. It encouraged me the times I’ve been to see how many other people are angry about what’s happening.
