I’ve said from the beginning that trump will be out right after the midterms, or whenever the regime using him as a figurehead decides it’s safe or beneficial to get rid of him (they’ve needed him so far and still do for now). But as soon as they don’t (which is why I say after the midterms so JD can have 2 full terms), he’s gone. My theory is that it will be made to look like a (physical, not mental) health issue.

I don’t think the Epstein stuff will hurt him with the base other than a temporary blip. They just need to provide a decent rationalization and the base will eagerly latch onto and run with it, to resolve the cognitive dissonance that this has brought to the surface for some of them. But if somehow enough of the base does turn on him, he’s out that much sooner.

Cat who is a kitten,
Kitten who’s a cat.
Cat who is a kitten who’s a cat, cat, cat.
Imagine that! A kitten who’s a cat!

Because to teach there you’d have to live there.

The word “go” has lots of meanings besides physically moving to a place. It also means to change state (“the milk went bad”, “he’ll go crazy when he finds out”) and to indicate immediate future tense (“I’m going to read this book now”). Not to mention some other less relevant uses.

Very good, House Dems. Now keep doing it–introduce another 99 bills to do the same between now and the next presidential election (if there is one), which would be as many as the number of times House republicans introduced bills to repeal the ACA (and that only counts their bills through 2017, which was the latest date I found a source for).

It was supposed to be a joke (but only a semi-joke), because ‘reign’ is what monarchs and authoritarians do.

But in this case either of the homophones works.

Absolutely nothing is stopping him. Certainly not the laws, the Constitution, or the Supreme Court. Lower courts are still ruling against him but getting overridden by SCOTUS.

The only left is we the people and that will take a huge number of us to work together.

They’re proud to do it.

“Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said.

Yes, because Musk is the first person that comes to mind whenever “actually cares about the people” is mentioned. 🤮

Because they want everyone to use their name for it. Magats love that name. It hides what it really is and lends a celebratory air to the base at the same time as an intimidating effect to potential victims. Remember, they want people to ‘self-deport’ and this is part of that strategy, in addition to its obvious use. So they’re going to make more places like this with more names like this.

Don’t help them. Don’t go along with what they want. Resist them in every way possible, including not using their terminology–whether it’s what they call concentration camps or what they call the bills they pass, like the huge hideous bill signed yesterday.

This explains well the different ways the new rules will kick people off medicaid even though they qualify. I got an idea about one of them-- see last part of post

But whether because of language barriers, physical or cognitive disability, lack of internet or phone, or job instability, for all of these patients, overcoming additional bureaucratic barriers would be burdensome at best. For many of them, it would be nearly impossible.

The author describes the situation of one patient and that there are many like him:

But he told our team that he lives in shelters, so he lacks a fixed address. He doesn’t have a cellphone. He could access government websites at a public library, except that his request for a power wheelchair, which Medicaid will cover, hasn’t been approved yet, and navigating the city in a standard one exhausts him. Plus, every time he leaves his stuff behind at the shelter to go somewhere, he told me, it’s stolen. At present, he doesn’t even own an official ID card.

An idea for at least the internet access issue: What if people/organizations with unlimited mobile data plan(s) could periodically take some laptops and make a wifi hotspot at shelters, so people could log on to the govt websites they need to fill out whatever red tape they need so they can get the benefits they qualify for? The people who go would need to understand the rules and how to navigate the websites and answer questions/help, but they could be trained on that. That seems like a practical idea. You’d think there would already be volunteer orgs that do this, but apparently not!
