Anti-American says the man who just voted for Kamala who received 0 votes in the Democrat primaries and was “selected”.

Anti-American says the man who voted Biden in 2020 after Bernie was pushed out and bought off after Clyburn rigged the vote in South Carolina after being promised at minimum a black female VP

Anti- American says the guy who voted Hillary in 2016 after Bernie was pushed and rigged aside in favor of Hillary who was not popular with the e Democrat electorate.

That makes 2008 the last Democrat primary where the “people” chose the D candidate. That seems rather “anti-American” stone, yet you support it.

Trump is the goods and you just can’t stand it. But the stock market loves him after a blockbuster Q3. Two days to the 6 month anniversary of Liberation Day and the market collapse prediction was , how does one say, terribly wrong. Jeff, DTrain, and Ickster couldn’t have been more wrong on that one.
Weak try. National Guard called out without a Gov. request. Marines sent into the country. FCC pushing people off the air. Telling the flag officers that we are being invaded from within and the military should train in the cities. Having the DOGE fools run rampant firing and stealing data, Refusing to spend funds appropriated by Congress. Telling the incompetents in the FBI and DOJ who to fire and who to prosecute even though frivolous. Putting giant posters of himself on Fed. buildings. Unleashing out of control thugs as ICE wearing masks and using unmarked cars no due process. Don't even try with your weak whatabouts.

“Right wing brains” aren’t exploding. States were setting up healthcare insurance exchanges under your far left jesus, Obama.
That the Republicans tried to repeal 50+ times? What are you talking about? Forget I asked.

BTW, I don’t doubt that about her and Slick, but there are plenty of folks who have rosacea and it makes them look like drunks.
My friend bought NJ bars for the cash flow and as employment opportunities for his extended Irish family.

His Uncle Bo Bo, GM'ed a very successful tavern. At 11 PM every day they would cash out all the registers till 2 AM closing. "Opening to 11 PM is the IRS's, after 11 PM is mine !"
Only problem Uncle Bo Bo was doing the counting, he would take $500 a day cash and go the track. Bo Bo had a WC Fields nose !
HUGE, he was a drunk !......and a lousy handicapper !

The entire WORLD sees it except for the authoritarian loving RW.
The entire world is happy with Trump except for Putin, Xi , Iran and Maduro. No forever wars save Ukraine and Trump is wearing down Putin. The world has many authoritarian regimes. The US and in particular the Trump Administration is not one of them.

Your ilk have used “racist”, “authoritarian”, “Nazi” way too damn much since Obama was running in 08. It falls on deaf ears. You and your ilk are the racists sowing division and running institutions specifically designed to make minority children dumb from the racism of low expectations. Your ilk thinks that you can punch anyone wearing a MAGA hat or displays American symbols on clothing. You have the brownshirts (antifa). You force poor illegal immigrants to suffer with criminal gang illegal immigrants. Why do you hate immigrants? Why did your Obama administration spy on Sharyl Attkisson and secretly break into her laptop? Why did your authoritarian Obama Admin throw Fox News reporter James Rosen in jail? Why did your true authoritarian regime fake a Russian scam to try to overthrow a duly elected President? Why did your authoritarian party raid a former first lady’s underwear drawer when the scope of the operation was already BS? Intimidation? Why did your authoritarian ilk try to keep the Republican nominee off the ballot in multiple states? Democracy? LOL. Why did your ilk try Trump only to have everything overturned? The Judge’s daughter in that case made money off of her judge daddy’s trial. That’s banana republic style corruption.

Did your media tell you to be uninformed, ignorant of facts and teach you to accuse the other side of what you are actually doing? You have a lot of BS you need to unwind between your ears.

I agree that the government running a drug selling website is not my preferred solution, but if they are going to have one, calling it TrumpRx is mind boggling for the left. The economics of this deal are unclear but are they end running the middle men to get the prices down? I guess we will find out as details emerge and other drug companies join or decline to join.
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus website is great for prescription drugs. Prices are lower than my insurance copays.

The fact that you find that funny says more about you than you know.
Truth hurts you Jeff! The guy who lied about about being a Reagan conservative and said he would have voted for RDS in 2024 is a complete radical leftist. No way in hell you were a Reagan guy and no way an RDS supporter votes for Harris or Biden.

To Stone’s credit, he doesn’t have to lie about his past, present, or future.

Now, Mr. Horrible CFO, try to balance an already terrible budgetary mess by adding an extra 1.5T for Democrat fetishes such as free healthcare for illegals, an open border and men in women’s sports.

This is why I am excited for the shutdown. While Jeff lies about caring about the debt, I actually do care since I have fantastic fiscal abilities. It’s about time they draw the line on Deep State excess spending. They are also giving Trump an opportunity to cut a lot of government which he legally can’t touch without a shutdown. No doubt, these are mostly radical Democrat government workers.

Hell of a strategy by Schumer and Democrats.

It was actually brilliant messaging from Trump. As the left is lying about why they voted against a clean CR, he puts out this to point out that they demand the American taxpayer pay for illegal health care.
I am curious why you are critical of Doge and Trump for the budget , but not the dems that want to spend trillions on illegals to further incentivize a border invasion?

Every source (except the Republicans who continue the lie) make clear that the message is a lie. Federal law prevents medicaid or medicare being paid on behalf of undocumented immigrants. States or cities may have but not the Feds. The budget fight is on whether the ACA subsidies should continue and whether hospital ER's can be reimbursed for care to indigents.

IOW, you have no answers to those questions and Jeff liked your post because he’s gone full lefty and is fine with the US government intimidating reporters and throwing them in jail.

The federal govt was reimbursing those cities and states under the Biden admin. So federal dollars were being spent on care for non citizens. You know this. Google is your friend, if you don’t.

That spending would have been endless under Dem leadership. They have admitted they not only want govt healthcare for all citizens, they want it for anyone on the globe.

Considering a great number of people call it “Obamacare”, I don’t think Duckworth’s/Democrats’ messaging like this is the winner they think it is. The Republicans didn’t pass ACA. That’s a Dem bill all the way.

They are too ignorant to realize that it was designed to fail. Again, they want govt sponsored healthcare for all, and don’t care what it will cost all of us.

I spent some time this morning trying to figure out what the Dems are holding out for and it is many things including subsidies for buying health care on the ACA exchanges.

What is interesting is these are all policy issues that were voted on in the big appropriations bill earlier this year and passed and put into law. Now the Dems are using a shutdown to try to change the outcome. It was their strategy all along.

The ACA is a disaster. However, "only" 24 million get insurance through the ACA as of 2024. I feel sorry for them if their premiums suddenly go up but when the Dems increased the subsidies it was during covid and there is no covid anymore - it was supposed to be temporary. Maybe Doge can take on the medical industry as it seems like there is alot of waste there.

While we don’t want to harm innovation or short wait times compared to other nations’ single payer systems, we do need more efficiency wrt cost and there is indeed a lot of waste.

People from Florida have it so good, and they don’t realize other cities/states are run incredibly poorly.

11% increase in overseas visitors YoY. I remember the predictions that this number would decrease. Wrong again.

The Trump tax cuts were also supposed to be temporary. You call the ACA is a disaster. My wife and I currently have an exchange plan. If the ACA did not exist, we would have no viable options for medical insurance. You can't tear down ACA without a replacement for those individuals who do not have access to medical insurance through employment.

Polling is very high for reigning in government spending. Americans don't want to spend money we don't have on illegals and they also don't want the government shut down. Schumer wants money for illegals and also wants the government shutdown - he and the radical Democrats oppose the American people at every turn!

And now a bunch of Democrat federal workers will get cut. Way to go Dems!

I see you and lying Jeff believe this crap. Here’s the text for you two. “Alien Medicaid Elgibility”, that is, free healthcare for illegals. Congrats, you continue to believe the Fake News at a rate of 100 percent

CBO games like many other tax cuts made them temporary. You can thank him for passing legislation democratically to make them permanent.

And Trump brilliantly pre-funded ICE so no worries Jeff, your precious illegals will continue to be deported during the Democrats temper-tantrum/shutdown.

Noted again that Horrible CFO Jeff wants an extra 1.5T in debt added to an already unsustainable massive debt. You can't make this up.

If a non-citizen goes to the hospital, we should treat that person. Then we should hand them a bill. If/when they don’t pay it, deport them immediately. They aren’t contributing and they are a drain on our resources. Seems pretty simple.

Yes, this will deter them from going to the hospital.

Yes, this will deter them from coming here illegally in the first place.

Yes, have an immigration status check added to the numerous other checks that one must navigate before receiving service. And whether they pay or not, once they are healthy enough to leave the hospital they are deported.

Morons like Snerdley on the Right are not bright enough to understand that if Hospitals are not reimbursed by Feds for the ER care to indigents, they have to pass it on to those with insurance. This results in huge premium increases which we are now entering into. DUH!!
