JD Vance, go back to fucking couches instead of the American people.
The Onerous Bloated Billionaire Boondoggle
Barely anyone will die. Fuget about it
The goal is to privatize it, so they can make sure that the "right" people get healthcare, while raking in boatloads of money.
Worse. They want to spend 80% of it to a “consulting company” that run by their buddies.
...and that's been the goal for a long time, in a lot of the western world. All privatization is against the common good of the people within any society.
Sort of the clinical equivalent of a big, blinking neon sign that says, "I am a psychopath."
as minuscule as the level of his empathy?
That's the definition of being a psychopath, yes.
Not coincidentally pretty much exactly so.
JD Vance eats his tacos from the bottom pass it on.
It is amazing how deaf Republicans are to this language refering to the suffering of people.
“The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits. The [One Big Beautiful Bill] fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass,” Vance wrote on [Twitter].
“Everything else — the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy — is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions,” he added.
If everything else doesn't matter, why is it in the bill?
J. D. Dunce.
I feel like J V Dunce would also be appropriately diminutive to this junior varsity shit stain.
Ozma once again showing off the problems that they helped create.
Pretty sure it was the candidates job to earn enough votes. Thanks Harris and the horrible Dem establishment campaign plan.
I somehow want to both upvote and downvote this comment at the same time. You're right that it was the candidates' jobs to earn votes. It was the voters' jobs to properly assess the real risks and benefits of each of the two candidates that, between them, were guaranteed to take home a win for one and only one of them. (Edit: there was a time for protest/passion votes too, don't get me wrong, that was the primaries though, not the general)
The candidate failed. The voters failed. But importantly, and I think by design, the collective ability of our youth to be able to critically evaluate their options also failed, which seems indicative that our education system failed to provide the foundational skills required for a functioning democracy. And that last thing, well... that thing has been a key part of conservative politics in the US since before I was born in the Geriatric Millennial Days last century.
Erosion of education has been something I've been watching happen my entire life, and I was on the bleeding edge of the WWW. I thought the internet would help make humanity more connected, united, and educated. Somewhere things went off the rails enough that we hit an event horizon moving into something resembling a shitty Continuum reimagining, so my Utopian expectation was clearly misplaced. My disappointment is immeasurable and my sadness comparable.
