Americans should be LIVID! Trump just pardoned Rudolph Giuliani & the 100 or so insurrectionists who made FALSE ELECTORAL VOTES to overthrow our 2020 election! Many were indicted and some admitted guilt! Trump also pardoned 1500 insurrectionist traitors from Jan 6. Trump should have been jailed.

I would actually take it a step further:

If Dumpster had not inherited $M's (and stolen $M's more from his co-heirs)

Nobody would ever have paid any attention to his idiotic, delusional BS!!

Even so, look at his history of bankruptcies to steal from banks,

Theft of work done by contractors!
He is a product of our "educational" system. He was promoted without reason, & his base shows less promise.

Justice Thomas and others who have (indirectly) sworn fealty to

King Demented Dotard Dumpster

should be the ones stepping down (committing seppuku/Hara Kiri for their lack of honor!)

Judge Wolf shows us the proper, legal and ethical way to proceed for a judge!!

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Forcing $B/M's to pay their fair share would yield MUCH more, and pay for many other priorities!!

Don't buy into the ReThug distractions from that much more critical need!
This is just a reminder that for the $40 billion we just donated to Argentina we could pay every air traffic controller in the country’s salary for over three years.

Large numbers of people can get better pricing. That takes organizations and costs to run them. It would set people up as targets for the rich and the system would be worse than what we have now. Medicare is one of the most efficient run organizations in the world. Ppl invested in each other.

The only business in which he has been successful is in declaring multiple fraudulent bankruptcies!!

I’d like to posit that it’s not just about Medicaid, SNAP, etc. being the morally ‘right thing to do’ it is also the most cost-effective, economically beneficial, and productive thing to do.
