This is actually something Malcom X explicitly states was a terrible mindset he himself used to have. If someone jumps out and says they want to help, let them.

At this point it’s hard to not lean into that given how effective it is to convey “Car has gravity” momentum

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

The only reason they go to the emergency room for ‘sniffles’ is because we don’t give them regular coverage, YOU GOD DAMN STUPID FUCK!

Newsmax host to Rep. Rich McCormick: "You've seen this whole game, how illegal immigrants come into the ER with sniffles and they get to benefit from Medicaid, but Democrats are blaming Republicans for the increase in healthcare [costs]."

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

First off, how the fuck does someone ascertain the legal status of anyone in the ER room? Second, is he saying undocumented people shouldn’t go to the ER? Third, if they do strain the ER then let them have regular fucking ACA coverage and we won’t have this issue you goddamn couch fucking fuck
