I hear you. Was talking to my (retired) dad today. He got a notice that his insurance was going from an out of pocket of $4500 to $9500. Anthem is dropping a bunch of other benefits, too.

If that’s what the Rs are allowing to happen to Seniors. It’s gonna be hella worse for the ACA.

I would laugh, but then again we do have Trump, so…

Apoplectic?

Your brother’s home is probably tastefully done. I like marble, but there’s marble and then there’s this monstrosity.

True story. I don’t care how pissed off I am at my kids; there’s no way that I’m going to let my grandbabies starve. Make your point, then feed the children.

I have it on good authority that you’ll get exactly the same amount as the American protesters will get.

Fired. 🤣

And even having insurance doesn’t help sometimes. My dad was prescribed a medication and the insurance company denied it (probably because it’s expensive). This country’s healthcare is insane.

Yes. He had some lines painted and added basketball hoops so that the tennis court could be used for both sports.

Then his friend has more money than sense. I really don’t know what it’s going to take with these people.

Do you think the destruction of the East Wing during the government shutdown makes any difference at all in the minds of Trump voters?

Correction: It’s not how any of this works in a functional society.

Hopefully, but every single time that the “this has to be the one” line gets crossed, his sycophants fall all over themselves to spin it. Watch: “She was a victim of politics.” “She was just the fall guy.”

In a perfect world, this would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Not sure anymore.

My grandmother’s best friend was a bonus grandparent to me, as well. She never had kids of her own, so she adopted us. She passed in 2017 and Grandma passed less than 2 years later. We still miss them so much.

As it should be. What happened to those workers was a disgrace.

They'd be well justified in shutting the whole thing down and suing the federal government for their losses.
