These are some of the most horrible people in our society. They should be unable to enter into any contract or have custody over any living being.
Who will people blame when they cannot afford medical care?
Cause Luigi is a folk hero, and all the people responsible for this should live in fear of the bullseye’s they have painted themselves with.
Storm brewing.
And there it is. The promised ‘vote on subsidies in december’ that the 6 dems cancelled the shutdown for. We all new what the outcome would be.
I feel for all those whose insurance premium is about to become unaffordable

Idk. I’ve been told a bunch of them are Republicans and therefore they deserve to suffer.
Pretty sure that’s just a dishonest attempt to DARVO the people who acknowledge that republican voters don’t care about anything until it harms them directly.
Not just Republicans. Most voters are fixated on local and personal issues. National politicians typically have a free rein on foreign policy thanks to the significant disconnect between international affairs and voter household issues. To add to the problem, Presidents can’t be recalled. Judges serve for life. Senators hold office on six-year stretches. The only people who really face the wrath of a disgruntled populace on a regular basis are House Reps (and gerrymandering blunts that knife most election cycles).
If you really get under the hood of the GOP and ask what makes them tick, one thing that sticks out is the degree to which the fossil fuel industry’s presence in a district/state influences the number of Republican voters. Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are great textbook examples, with rises and falls in the profitability of petroleum products neatly tracking their success at electing conservative leaders.
One question you might want to ask, as a liberal who claims to love universal programs like health care and education and housing and public transportation, is why your own state leaders suck at it so much. California’s the 7th largest economy in the world. And they’ve got broad control over their Medicaid dollars, same as any other state. Why aren’t they doing Public Options or State Run Hospitals like their peers in Canada and the UK?
FFS, blood red Kentucky has a more leftwing health care system than anything in bright blue Washington State or New Jersey.
‘blood red’ Kentucky has one of the highest dependencies in federal programs in the country.
also, Mitch is just an awful “human”.
‘blood red’ Kentucky has one of the highest dependencies in federal programs in the country.
It’s home to a large military base and two of the nation’s twelve federal prisons.
Besides, if we’re being critically all-inclusive in the beneficiary of federal programs, the two biggest winners have been Silicon Valley, California and Lower Manhattan, NYC, with bright-blue
LangleyArlington, Virginia and Boeing HQ / Secondary Financial Capital Chicago, IL running close behind. The $22B Kentucky’s economy sees pales behind our Pentagon spending, our international shipping, and our multi-trillion dollar trade in US Treasuries.also, Mitch is just an awful “human”.
Like so many other powerful Senators, McConnell’s real power flows through his wife’s billionaire family. Her family ties to the lucrative Taiwanese shipping magnet, the Foremost Group, has made her husband’s support for US operations in the South Pacific pivotal to both their family fortune and American geopolitical dominance.
McConnell is actually a military transplant from Alabama, with family tied into the Redstone Arsenal and its attendant social circle. He’s been a political chameleon for most of his adult life, slipping seamlessly between Democrat and Republican circles through the Clinton and Bush Eras. He dumped his lefty-liberal activist Sherrill Redmon the same year Ronald Reagan won the presidency, then matched with his current anti-communist beau through Ambassador to Nepal under Bush 41, Julia Chang Bloch.
So much of Mitch’s position and policy have been directed by this political marriage. It’s got virtually nothing to do with the political character of Kentucky voters.
So every person in the US deserves no health care and to die penniless, regardless of how they voted? That is what you are basically saying.
Imagine if the government was still shut down and we still didn’t have these subsidies.
I would approve. The government shutdown was serving my interests.
Sound like all my Republican friends.
I don’t. It’s going to hurt the red states more. Even in the areas that aren’t red, more people went so far to the left they chose to support Trump or sit out the vote which helped secure his house and senate wins.
People are finally waking up to realize that elections have consequences and the latest elections are showing it.
well then if it’s hurting the right people
If they don’t understand why, then their suffering will just embolden their anti Democrat beleifs though.
Until it hurts someone you do like. My dude, that is the exact republican mentality we need to overcome eh?
Eh, at this point I’d be happy just to see a lot more graves with a red baseball cap hanging off them and an epitaph inscribed saying “I didn’t vote for this”.
They had, what, almost a decade to read the writing on the wall? Maybe two if you want to go all the way back to Bush (or four for Reagan)? I used to try to link resources for education when discussing with these people, explain the consequences of our own and others’ actions, and where have we ended up now anyway?
Fuck 'em. The more of them that die, the less problems my generation and my family and friends have to worry about in the future, and hey, maybe I can nab a cheap house at their bankruptcy auction.
MAGA ignorance is the result of the oligarchs war on the working class via destroying public education among a litany of other things.
Nothing about magas dying will prevent the cycle repeating.
Then the clear solution is that there should have been grassroot organizations that took charge and emphasized the importance of an educated citizenry…
Oh wait, there were. The response was that they banned books and criminalized areas of study (Critical Race Theory) that would give the citizenry the ability to reflect on history and their abuses. All of this occurred within the last 13 years, by the way.
Brain drain has already taken effect from those who took the emigration route out of their state to a place that valued them. If those of sound mind need to escape but are unable to afford, let I be the first one to donate to their plane or train ticket. As for the rest of the state, let it fail. Let it self destruct. Allow the Kansas Experiment to repeat until nothing is left but the hollow shells of buildings.
Fuckin A brother. I grew up on the hopium of making changes and leave the world a better place but giant swathes of people would rather see it all burn just so they can show the other side they were right.
Me n mine are doing what we can to survive whatever the hell happens and just be happy in our little slice of heaven as independent as we can be.
When one side is hellbent on criminalizing your existence, why would you give a shit about trying to appease the other side and shake their hand lol.
But hey, if you got a place where people accept each other and are willing to work together for a better future, good for you. I’m just hoping I don’t get dragged away from my family, and to outlive those who try.
You sound exactly like them eh.
You sound exactly like the type that would rather attack people than look for common ground or understanding. Peace.
I’m sure Schumer’s brow is extra furrowed today.
Glasses just dangling off the tip of his nose.
I wouldn’t worry about Chuck S.'s glasses running out of nose length.
That’s awfully antisemenetic of you
GOOD thing the Democrats SHUT DOWN the Government for This!
Don’t worry, they’ll get another chance to do it again in January.
Why don’t we just go ahead and call them the House of Lords.
They’re trying to exterminate us.
